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...

Chelsea seem to have a habit of shooting themselves in boh feet.

No idea if Clattenberg is guilty of the alleged comments, if proven true he will no doubt receive the appropriate sanctions. But it's clear referees are subjected to abuse from players during matches, which in the good old days was regarded as dissent and the player booked. Now it seems to be accepted and ignored. (I'm afraid to say). So from where I'm sitting the Chelsea claim is very much pot calling kettle and smacks of sour grapes. I doubt they will be getting any favours from the rest of the Premiership refs that's for sure.

I thought the decision to send off Ivanovic was 100% correct. I couldn't see how he could be sure Torres dived, so to book him was probably wrong. Mind you, Torres should have received a red card for the assault on Cleverly. As for the winning goal, offside, but Clattenberg had to rely on the assistant so couldn't be blamed for that.

All in all, another mess that Chelsea are once again at the centre of.

Chelski players falling over for sweet fa has been part of their game for years , tough bloody crap if it's come back to bite them for once.

As for the ref I really don't give a sh*te what he said cos if some of those over rated over paid foreign tw*ts who "grace" the EPL with their presence ever came up against a ref from another sport the foul mouthed gits would be down to 5-a-side by half time.

Hope they throw the book at Chelski wen he gets cleared.

retard

and another poor ref last night, albeit on a far lessor scale than Sunday - missed a blatant handball.

And whats this nonsense about a Torres dive - if you want the truth rerun the incident and look at both the mancs and Torres faces - they both were surprised by the decision which reveals the real truth, that everyone bar the most avid cfc hater can see

Ah - the beautiful game :-)

Ah! talking of the "beautiful game" back to the Clarets and this is the news I'm sure everyone has been waiting for -): http://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/news/article/dyche-appointed-291012-455083.aspx

All I'm getting from that link Stan is how to download a Burnley FC App? Don't know whether to fart or faint :O) Oh dear Brendan, Red Shite knocked out by your old team at Anfield, gutted!

A clearer version then CC -):

Clarets confirm Sean Dyche as new manager

Burnley Football Club is delighted to confirm the appointment of Sean Dyche as its new manager.

Dyche, seen as one of football’s up-coming and progressive young managers, has signed a two-and-a-half year-contract at Turf Moor and will work with the former Nottingham Forest pair of Ian Woan and Tony Loughlan as his senior coaching team.

Dyche arrives at Turf Moor after making an impressive start to his coaching and managerial career at Watford and more recently within the England under-21 set-up.

Good appointments Stan good luck.

Sean who ? :-)

"And whats this nonsense about a Torres dive"

... that's the point , he didn't but tough sh*te Joey boy cos Drogba and co been diving for years and getting away with it so a bit of rough justice was well overdue.

Regards

The retard

So the newspapers, if correct, claim Ramires, whose command of the English language apparently isn't the best, heard the ref call Mikel something, but didn't undertsand what had been said so asked someone else to translate.

Cast iron case against Clattenberg then.

Liked the Man U banner last night.

Chelsea against racism....since Sunday.

Thanks CC,

Dil, Dyche is the name and winning is his game -):

You would think after all the fuss surrounding Terry, 'fans' would be very careful about displays of racism at the bridge.

Sadly chuckles every ground has at least one gobshite with half a brain cell. As mentioned (accross the road) what must the coloured, I'm guessing child proudly wearing his Chelsea bobble hat 3 rows back think of his so called fellow supporter?

theres always one nutter nut re:racism

who was the 1st club to field a totally non british 11 ?

and who was castigated for that ?

Same old critics jumping on any old band wagon

Still top Stan but if your lot had beat us last week you would have only been 2 points behind us (and we wouldn't be top).

Best I seen us play away this season against Bolton but no argument with result , Charlton a must win Tuesday , gotta start picking up points on the road.

And well done Chelsea , one away match a season I want you to win and you cock it up !

Hope they throw the book at you this week.

they will as i cant see why this week should be any different to all those that have preceeded it

Ahhh........ I'm filling up Joe :O)

sympathy at last - we'll be your 2nd favourite club soon

Dil, I see that your other lot are visiting the Fortress tonight.
