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...

unbelievable behaviour from the pseudo barcode - hope they get relegated now.

and for chris's benefit Everton outplayed us for more than just the second half. We're not myopic at chels (unlike so many on here) - we can all see the obvious flaws

and speaking of the power of observation I'll repeat my prediction for the year - its Arsenals title (and lets hope their prefect is looking elsewhere as it happens)

9 Scots in starting line up tonight for rangers in the champions league and 5 on the bench...good to see even though a meaningless game.....it is the way it should be

Has Ashley lost it ? Or did he ever have it?

wow...ridiculous

Hey, Pardew's got a proven successful track record of taking sides into the Championship.

I thought, at the very least, he'd try for Martin O'Neill.

Gunners one up I see....would be good to have all four clubs in the next round....

Problem is Treb that those 9 Scots would have been playing first class football for English teams in days gone by before the foreign invasion (mostly no better than we already have in the UK given a chance).

That's why England will never win the WC and Scotland , Wales and N Ireland will think its xmas if they ever qualify for one.

I see the nonsense at Newcastle has been confirmed, on a 5 and a half year contract no less as well -):

honestly that is one of the worst and most confusing things i have seen happen in football.....

every day my interest for the game lessens.

ridiculous....although easy money now on newcastle getting relegated either this year or next

hopefully

Any thoughts on the Tevez saga LOL, for once it is possible that the football club may just be bigger than the player, I hope so. Let him sulk. Money no object (unfortunately) for the club. Obviously he will be missed but they can replace him, if he is not playing he will in the end be the loser. Time these gobshites and there agents were reined in.

Nice one stan,its a killer,

Chelski let me down again,there as bad as us ****.

Yes, bit of a grin wasn't it -):

Wales unveil ex-captain Gary Speed as new manager.

After Pardew, another odd managerial appointment.. where's Dill?

I'm not dissappointed Stan , imo its the best we could have done given our limited dosh.

Who do you think we should have got it ?



First game in Cardiff v England , hmmmm :-)

... win that one and its a job for life :-)

"Who do you think we should have got it ?"

As a biased view (BFC connection) I would have liked to have seen Flynee been given more of a chance, but whoever manages these smaller country's national sides I think that they are all on a hiding to nothing and the sack is more inevitable then when managing a club side.

The thing about the Speed appointment is that he has very very little actual managerial experience and not been doing very well at Sheff. Utd.

Time will tell as usual.

No outstanding team this year in the premiership......still think that this could be the Gunners year but it will be tight at the top come may....

Man City on a roll atm. Very tempted to have a bet on Bolton to beat Liverpool today at 9/2.
