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...

.

Styria Select (Austria) 0 v 3 Burnley. HT.. Watch out you Pre-Madona lot here we come.

Final score, 8-0.. I was the only one who didn't score -):

DD back at Chelsea !.....

I was just thinking as the new season approaches how a new boss would introduce himself to the players.....
"Back to Basics" by Required Field :

Left..right... left...right...left...right..right...right...right..left...left...(bim.bam bong)...(pile of bodies at the bottom of the stairwell leading to the pitch).....come on pick yourselves up....(shout from Coach)...you too Dibby ! (name of best player)..
Manager : (talking to players in a group assembled on the pitch now...this is a ball (throwing it up and down in his arms)....we all know what a ball is don't we ?...
Coach : Say : IT'S A BALL CHIEF !
Manager : YOU too Dibby !..
Players : IT'S A BALL CHIEF ! YOU TOO DIBBY !...
Manager : The're a right lot this lot...
Players : THERE A RIGHT LOT THIS LOT !..
Coach : ENOUGH !..
Players : ENOUGH !..Enough!...enough....(echo...)
Manager : Right you lot...now Dibby you're a good shot at goal : show this bunch how it's done :(pointing to penalty spot)...
(Dibby takes aim and woooshhh)(sound of leg missing ball)...
Coach : trying not laugh (holding string attached to ball having pulled it to one side and player missing ball...)
Manager : that's what I mean...not sharp enough you lot...right off you go..ten times round the pitch...

It might be a bit like that....(a bit of comedy does no harm )...

Are you having any anti-post bets for the coming season RF?

?

Anti-post I.E. bets on where you think teams will finish at the end of the season.

I would like to see the Gunners winning the Champions league this season !...that would be nice !...even if I'm not an Arsenal fan....yes...I would love to see that !...it would be wonderful !...

I'm looking at this one as a possible http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/handicaps

Van Gaal looks to be so promising as a manager, I reckon it's not a stupid thing to say MU might well win the Premier League this year under his guidance.

The squad now have four strikers and have started playing '5, 3, 2' and have been so successful with it, just for starters they thrashed LA Galaxy 7-0


(PS. Apologies for some of commentary being in French)

MU can also play 4, 3, 3 if required too and have been practising both types of play.

Hmmm? Watch this space!

Bring back 2, 3, 5, much more exciting.
