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...

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

Yep the red blooobirds now :)

It was them or bust , 100 million invetment coming but we have to play in red. Some are of the attitude we can play in pink as long as we get promoted while a few are blue or we aint coming. Change of colour did Leeds no harm when they changed to white in the sixties but the real test will come if we don't get promoted.

Cardiff were 1/4 yesterday to sign Michael Owen but new favourites this morning were Everton at 2/9 ... lucky escape for us but can't see anywhere that he's actually signed for anyone yet. You can have him , more interested in horses these days.

And we be top of the table Friday night when we beat Huddersfield :-)

Gees, don't want or need him Dil. Think Fergie is a bit upset we sold Rodwell to City, think Mancini only bought him to stop Fergie buying him :O)

Can't believe a useless friendly international week has been arranged again the same week our season kicks off.

Cardiff got seven players out on international duty for tonights league cup match then two days after the international we play Huddersfield in the season opener.

Un bloody believable !!!

Aye it must be tough at the top Dil :O)

League Cup hightlights: Port Vale 1 Burnley 3, The Clarets cruise through against a pluckey Port Vale side, on for the double it seems already -): Meanwhile..



































Cardiff (or was it Swansea?) anyway some team from S.Wales who play in Red went out to lowly Northampton Town 1-2. -):

And where did coming runners up in the Mickey Mouse cup get us last year ???

Your welcome to it :-)

Not really 'news' - Robin van Persie: Man Utd agree £24m deal with Arsenal for striker

Manchester United have agreed a £24m deal to sign Arsenal striker Robin van Persie on a four-year contract.

The 29-year-old will meet with United in the next 48 hours to discuss personal terms and have a medical.

Arsenal captain Van Persie announced in July he would not extend his current deal, which expires in June 2013.

Well, England won.....again.....picking up some more impressive "brownie" points for the Fifa ratings ...were still missing some good midfielders.....I've always thought that Rooney should play in a midfield role with Carroll and perhaps Defoe just ahead......what we need is a lot of very sharp midfield short passes...it won't matter if they lose the ball as long as they remain ultrea sharp and get it back a few seconds later.....that is the way to play....the long ball down the side will only work at times....variation of play is what is needed !...

Carroll is a donkey that you bring on for the last 10 minutes if your losing and desperate imo rf.

Wey hey season kicks off in 11 hours 30 minutes !

Good luck.. got you lot down for another draw -):

Top of the league Stan , be a long time before you can say that :)

Well Done The Baggies, great result! Oh dear Brendon should have joined a big club :O) Never mind eh, at least you'll get to keep Agger, well for three more games at least give you someone to talk to on the bench :O)

Yep result of the day goes to West Brom and Brendan Rodgers will be lucky to last til Christmas imo.

Giving Bellamy away (thanks) for free and then paying £15 million for Joe Allen makes no sense at all.

Great start for Everton,Fellaini magnificent, unplayable! :O)

Hey Dil what's this about Brian Flynn leaving the Welsh FA, conflicting reports about his contract coming to an end or he is contesting for wrongful dismissal?

Dunno but in fairness he hasn't done a lot and nor will Coleman for the senior team , all Speed's good work undone in 3 games by Coleman.

Brighton away tonight Stan who your mob got ?

Middlesbough away, won their last season for the first time ever I think, saw them at Port vale last week and won easily but PV were pants though!
