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...

Oi don't paint us with the same brush we've never caused trouble at the Euro's or World Cup.

Only because your never there long enough Dil :0)

Long enough ???? :)

Did you know at the Japan WC in 2002 the club with the most banning orders from travelling to the World Cup to support England was Cardiff City !!!!

Did they really think we were all going to fly out and support England ? Swansea tw@ts had 3rd highest ! I'm sure banning the Welsh from travelling half way round the world to support England had a massive impact on the number of English hooligans out there !

Dil....please don't take offence....it's not aimed at you !....just the possible troublemakers that can ruin a magnificent day for british soccer !.....all it needs is a bottle thrown by a drunk...and bim-bam...(to sound like batman)....god knows how many arrests and the French will curse the British visit to Lens....it would be nice for that day to be fondly remembered in northern France.....our fans (Welsh and English) must be on best behaviour that day (a possible world cup bid is at stake here/let's not forget)....PS....nice to see you at the finals for a change...nice.....

I agree rf ... cardiff were worse fans bad as Millwall etc and I saw it myself but thanks to cctv its all over now it's not worth it.

My point was in 2002 they banned say 500 fans from the UK from travelling to Japan to watch England in the World Cup and nearly 200 were from Wales !!!

English FA blaming the Welsh for their problems bit like Liverpool blaming Chelsea for Heysel !

And while we are at it those scouse * its never us " kicked off again at last weeks Europa final !

Worst fans to come to Cardiff in our one year in Premier League , bus load turned up late and attacked innocent people including 2 girls collecting for charity.

Maybe now they've got justice they'll start a campaign for the AC Milan fans.

Tom Bradshaw ruled out for Wales through injury.

Gutted as he's a youngster who could do well and I'm hoping Cardiff will stick a bid in for him this summer.

Dil - fans I speak to from other clubs have very similar experiences of the vermins support

Strange how the media don't see this

Don't confuse all Liverpool fans as coming from Liverpool chaps! There is a London branch near you Joe! Just saying.

That's it blame the bloody Chelsea fans again :)

Another fine for Liverpool - following their supporters behaviour

Wonder what sympathy they have for the families of those children they could have injured

Always the victims............

Karanka set to face old boss Mourinho in the Premier League

BBC News Online


Jose Mourinho's appointment at Manchester Utd means Middlesbrough's season has just become a little bit more exciting.

Boro boss Aitor Karanka was his assistant at Real Madrid before taking over at The Riverside.

Can the apprentice dethrone the master next year?

Well the Euros are about to start.......you never know...might be our year...guess who won the European cup the year we won the world cup back in 66.......NO it wasn't the Beatles.....nor the Stones...(Christ they were around then !....blimey)....it was Ronaldo's team !....yes : Real Madrid....well..you never know.....

And the prize for being first to mention 1966 goes to rf :-)

Even the BBC have given up on '66 and made a programme about '96 instead where England were famously dumped out of a competition on pens(lol there's a suprise).

If anyone saw Shearer's programme about '96 (wasn't bad and made a nice change from a game by game re-run of '66) did you notice the track they played as the final titles and credits were rolling ?

I almost fell off my chair laughing as either the person who chose it is clueless or it was done deliberately by some Taff !

I'm thinking of starting the official "Wales To Win The Euro's" thread and banning you lot from it :-)

Spaın for me to wın Euro 2016.

Leicester me .

Good to see England will be out of Europe come June 24.

Cheers,

Good result for England last night !.....to me tactics were right spot on !.....the Portugese are a dangerous side designed to defend catching teams out if they don't defend properly and RH and GN got it right.....the team were patient and it looks like with now and again some fresh blood they can punish the opposition......why am I so optimistic about England's chances this time ?....lot of talent in the side might be the reason......come on : this is a far far better side than two years ago !.....we need a little bit of luck as well.....you do in these major competitions....so many times we haven't had any...perhaps the tide might turn in our favour !....Harry Kane was lucky not to have be turned into something out of a stunt from the "Beyond the Pines" special effects with that crazy Bruce Lee lunge from that Portugese player !....why do I suspect things like that ?.....remember Rooney....gets a broken foot...(during 04)....Beckham gets injured badly against La Coruna if I remember correctly !.....hmmm.....just before finals.....hmmmmm...anyway good luck guys : win that cup... COME ON....so far overall I'm impressed with the squad and the way the team plays !...lots of variations/permutations of style...that's the way to play .....

Good to see RDM back, if anyone can get Villa back in the premiership he can.
