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...

Joe - Hope you choke on your quail eggs and prawn sarnies, what a stupid comment to make. Chelsea back in the late 60's and early 70's had the worst reputation in the land, the shed, calling cards, cast your mind back. Thankfully football hooliganism is confined(in premiership) to mindless thugs who organise fights to satisfy their macho, ignorant feuds away from football grounds via the internet. Rangers fans? remember Manchester.

Treb - Gareth Bale shit player eh! LOL!

Sorry Joe never followed Hartlepool but got nothing against them.

Cardiff top , Leeds win and Bale has another nightmare :-)

Swansea lose tomorrow and it'll be heaven.

Oi Treb , name a Scottish player that would get in an Olympic GB team ... ok that a bit hard , name one that would get in the squad ....


.... reserve squad ???

Cardiff's Jay Bothroyd called up to England squad.

Arsenal clinical, Everton, same old same old couldn't take theire chances. Arsenal goalkeeper man of the match. :O(

LOL !!!!!! Fabulous performance Sunderland! Chelsea Champions My Arse!

Dil - Delighted for Boothroyd, desrves his call up mate :O)

don't think we've any chance of being champions this year - and I'm not judging on y'day alone.

Imo its the end of a trophy drought at the Emirates (Emirates cup excepting)

dil...easy... craig gordon...best keeper in the country

ps cc not seen any football from the weekend...was away with the family....but can you point me to where i said bale was "sh*t"

i think i said i would make my mind up after more than 2 games?

i did see a headline this morning valuing andy carroll at 20M....you have to laugh at the premiership and the media nonsense that surrounds it

You didn't Treb, just the impression you gave out. Personally I'm just grateful Sky exists up here so I get a chance to watch some decent football, sure you will agree hell will freeze over before Scottish press will ever be in a position to over hype the SPL. :O)

cc....you dont like it? i will pay yer petrol money to get yerself back donw the M6

Love Scotland Treb, that's why I live here! Can't have everything though, finding a decent football team to watch small price to pay, I can live with that!

Going for Russia to win against Belgium and Holland to win against Turkey.

Re: p289,

Dil, Yes Casper spent 9 years at Burnley but was never capped, http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Casper_(footballer) that was in the days when the England team was said to have been picked by fleet street as it was then. Good player and coach but never excelled as a manager unfortunately.

barry bannan of villa and danny wilson of liverpool both looked good last night as scotland B won against a very poor Faroe Islands team.

however there is a lot of young good scottish football talent out there at the moment...in a few years who knows we might actually qualify for something!

We've never qualified for any major tournament in my lifetime Treb , did get to European quarter finals in 76 but in those days it was played on a home and away basis.

I live in hope.

Dil,

Early days I know, but how's BFC old boy Flynny shaping up so far with the national side?

He played for Leeds and Cardiff too ... he wouldn't have been my choice as manager but he's probably all we can afford.
