It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Unlucky Wales :O) Total poo, but surely there is some disparity here, how is it that the best British Tennis player in Britain can compete in the olympics together with Federer etc yet our best footballers don't or can't or are not allowed,where is the logic?

Never seen so many Union flags in Cardiff in all my life.

Party atmosphere inside and outside the ground but the football was dire. On the plus side we were sat 2 rows from the pitch slightly to the right of where all the pens were taken.

RF , I blame Pearce for consistently playing with just one up front and that being the reason our midfield either passed sideways or backwards. Bellamy or Giggs should have played up alongside Sturridge to give us more movement and opportunities of playing balls fowards. Our negativity got what it deserved.

Bellamy coming home.

A good bet would be perhaps on Montpellier tonight to win rather than the Jamaican 100m relay where the odds are hopeless.....I wouldn't be surprised if the USA won that tonight...

Not so good my bet on Montpellier....too early in the season for football bets.....

As predicted Bellamy signed for Cardiff yesterday and Michael Owen is 1/4 to follow him.

Beat Newcastle 4-1 today without Bellamy and our S Korean bronze medallist (who was named in the team of the tournament).

We had a crap squad last year and still made the play offs and League Cup final , we're going up as champions this year.

Good luck Dil, if you can keep Owen out of sick bay he and Bellamy might just do the trick for you. I'm guessing Swansea will take your place in the Championship till the following year that is. :O)

PS So you can enjoy the derbys again' in the Championship obviously :O) I'll give good odds that Brendon Rogers will last at least 6 months at Liverpool and Man U shares will be a screaming short before 3, haven't decided yet whether that is 3 weeks or 3 months :O)

That bunch of tippy-toe pass it sideways pass it backwards load of in-bred pikeys have sold the only player they had that ran foward to Man City (Sinclair).

This time next year Del Boy we'll be stuffing the likes of Everton if they stay up :-)

Exactly mate, but don't worry you will soon be re-united. Keep dreaming about stuffing Everton, League Cup, FA Cup only chance you may get and if it happens slim and none springs to mind :O)

Mexico might do the same thing again in two years time if they bump into Brazil again........not good at defending at all the Brazilians....

I see the return of oikball is upon us. Interesting comparison between the overpaid, overhyped, moaning cheating posers of premiership football and the true athletes of the Olympics. Oh, there is no comparison, the oiks would have a collective heart attack if they had to train like the Olympians and as far sportsmanship is concerned that disappeared a long time ago from the pitch and terraces.

Horses for courses eh chuckles, personally I'm quite happy only to see the Olympics every four years. Have to admit I could put up with the Ladies volleyball every week though. If It was every year I doubt we would see the same excellance (the other events I'm referring to of course not the volley ball) :O)

Chris, the point was more about the massive difference in sporting ethics, Premiership oikball has none, the Olympians' cup floweth over. I was watching the thuggery of water polo earlier, sort of legalised drowning, but no complaints to the ref and one of the teams were Italian! I also watched some of the Charity Shield and witnessed the usual diving, cheating, theatrics and continuous sniping at the ref. no, I wouldn't want to watch the Olympics every week, it's appearance only every four years is one of the things that makes it so special, but will oikball ever get its house in order before the bubble finally bursts? I do agree with your volleyball comment though :)

Yes - the aesthetics of volleyball are not totally lost on me either :-)

Chris , Everton are 250/1 to win the Premier League and for those who don't understand gambling that means if you put £50 on them you will lose £50.


:-)

Dil, even the most ardent Evertonian (including me) totally aware of that mate :O) As long as they finish above the team accross the park, have good cup runs and qualify for Europe is the best it's going to get. Unless of course someone richer than Man Citys current owners buy the club and give Moyes the funds to compete on a level playing field, maybe then the likes of Jack Rodwell wont be lured away. Sadly Cardiff City....... Who Are Dey?

You would love to have our owners Chris , except they would make you play in bloody red !

Never happen Dil, against my religion :O) Must be something the supporters can do surely, isn't your clubs nickname 'The Bluebirds' ?
