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...

Obviously I am over the moon at the Merseyside Derby result. Hic! Liverpool's demise is a tonic to every Evertonian :O)

Pretty obvious there will be a mass clearout accross the park in January. The question is can Liverpool 2nd from bottom (How sweet the sound) and stuck with the players signed by 'The Fat Spanish Waiter' (Who incidentally was awarded for his noble efforts 5m and then walked into a top European managers job, you couldn't make it up.) escape the relegation zone, step forward the new benefactors (mugs) in order to pay off the contracts of the existing squad and replace them.

You have to question the mentality of SOME of the Liverpool fans calling for the head of the manager after eight games. Should have stayed at Fulham Roy is in an impossible position, hence his post match statement the gist being "Liverpool are playing well" Every credit he managed to utter those pearls of wisdom with a straight face. Anyone even with less than 20/20 vision or even partial vision with one eye could see Liverpool were, are shxte! He has to somehow motivate his players to get out of theire current position in order to wield the axe in January and allow the new owners (mugs) to provide the relevant funds to atract quality players. To admit they are crap would be suicide. What a ridiculous situation to be in!

At the last Liverpool home match the Kop, in their wisdom were chanting 'Dalgleish' The vast majority of whom were obviously not around in 1991 when he walked out having been knocked out of the FA Cup by guess who...Everton. Should have stayed at Fulham Roy needs those fans support now more than they realise.

Meanwhile back at Goodison thank goodness for David Moyes and a chairman (though skint) with a brain.

Good to see the Liverpool fans have'nt lost their sense of humour though. When the Everton fans were goading them with the inevatable chants of 'Going Down, Going Down' They responded with 'So Are We, So Are We' :O)

They need to give Roy more time.....I have to say even though I'm not one of their supporters....I'm a great admirer of the club.....the players have to pull their socks up and Gerrard is going to have to boss them around a bit !.

davy weir might be 40 but he can still move...taken from spain game the other night,,,made me laugh

BAR 44.1 million fans in 2009

study by Sport+Markt

Geez ramping Barca now RSI !


What a load of crap , bet less than 5% of each of those so called "fans" ever put a penny in the clubs coffers (excluding via sky sports subscriptions etc which per person would be miniscule anyway).

too right Dil - its the usual marketing nonsense.

These guys really live on a totally different planet to the rest of us.

and its far lesss than 5% anyway

Do the maths on my club 21.6m x 5% = 1.08 milliion - we average 44,000 and even though its not the same week in week out, its still a long way short of 1 million.

You've got to take account of shirt sales , scarves etc so that would bring the figure a lot higher Joe but I admit that I was being more than generous when I said 5%.

I bet you that Rooney joins Barcelona.....

You have to think Man U will pull out all the stops to keep him first, without him they are donald ducked.

10 more like Bale and Spurs would have walked it !

10 more like Bale and Wales would have half a team Dil!

Seriously though, Gareth Bale is a fantastic player, bit like me in my youth :-)

If only he was english! Sorry, but no chance of getting to the top playing for Wales.

lol pt ... can you remember that far back ?

We got a better one than him , Aaron Ramsey of Arsenal .... nine more to find !

Bale might have had a good game...can't say the same for the rest of them....most of them have not a clue as what to do with the ball....how about some british players instead of these very poor overseas players !.

Steve Morison, that leaves 8

No jeff he's second class ... Bellamy is better than him and at least plays for a decent club :-)

Ramsey is 20 and Bale 21 I think so we got about 8 to years to find another 9.

Man U press conference 10am should be interesting :O)

Will it be "The club has bowed to Wayne Rooneys pay increase and assured him that they fully intend to spend mega bucks to attract the players Wayne is entitled to play alongside"

OR

"Rooney can Foxtrot Oscar, no one player is bigger than the club"

Place your bets.... Chelsea, Real Madrid, City or Barcelona ?

rooney will not go abroad the boy can hardly speak english never mind learning spanish.

Man U at a crossroads...they cannot compete financially to get the best british players and SAF has a major re-building job to do...interesting times at old trafford
