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...

Aye, frustating being a fan at times Dil. Everton currently 2nd do I want Man U to beat Liverpool this aft? Hmmmm it's a toughie! :O)

Another 3 promotion pts.-): at Derby as usual (we never loose at Derby) for Burnley and a good day out to boot. Can the boy Austin keep it up, who knows? Playing at his old club Swindon on Tue.in the LC. so could be interesting.

As for the 4-5-1 against 5-3-2 argument, 1 up front only works if the 5 push up to support the 1 which doesn't happen at Burnley (even with Austin being the 1) and doesn't sound as though it does at Cardiff either. If the 5 are good and the tactics right then that might be a different matter.

We should keep an eye on Juventus.......good one to put a few punts on it seems and Marseille as well......

But your useless at betting on home teams, So won't looking abroad be even worst RF? -):

No...Stan...the odds are better except for Barca where I find it impossible to put a bet on unless they don't score for 70 minutes or so and then you take a risk....so far this season I'm doing a little better than last....hope the trend continues...

Oh good RF, nice to see an improvement, I agree about the odds in this country where say the championship are concerned. Very poor individual odds unless you go for doubles or trebles.. thats why I rarely put a bet on these days.

Well Done to Leeds tonight,better team deserved the win. Have to question the logic of Moyes making six changes, paid the price Everton were awful.

Must have been .... even we beat Leeds :)

The major LC. shock of course is Swindon's 3-1 win over Burnley -):

No argument Swindon were well worth their win, a very quick and tenacious performance by them, But not helped by Burnley making 4 changes from Saturday's win at Derby! Come on Eddie?.. it's one of 3 major Cups to go for.. Anyway, what is it about Roundabouts and Swindon?.. More soding Roundabouts then Roads! -):

(:))

And what's that mean when it's at home.. Young fella mi lad? -):

Maybe of interest to Burnley, Man City, Bournemouth and Norwich fans on here, John Bond has snuffed it at 79.

John Terry banned and fined by FA over Anton Ferdinand incident

Chelsea captain John Terry has been banned for four matches and fined £220,000 following the incident involving QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.

Small beer where Terry is concerned, with the usual pathetic slap on the wrist nonsense.

Is that fine legally binding?

Probably Fred, but if not I'm sure that the FA will find a way to enforce it.

Skinny..I thank you -):

I think its "in force" - it just needs to be enforced! :-)

Actually I do remember years ago a referee I used to work with did say that their are "No rules in Association football.. their all Laws! so there we are.

In the distant past I can remember Terry's "comments" being made in banter in many changing rooms, without all the eye lid flutter.

Didn't like it at the time, but Terry and his mates are supposed to be adults and should be able to tolerate it.

-----------

Mitchell, it seems to me, because of his position was far more intentionally "offensive" than a pleb.

glad you all have so much more insight than a british court of law

Farcical imo, and I hope JT takes it to appeal
