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...

My home town team, Northampton Town, are getting ready to thrash Manchester United 6-4 tonight. I'm getting ready to watch it on the telly.

Actually, 1-0 would be utterly fantastic.

Here's a picture of the Man Utd players training in a local car park ahead of the game:

Come on Cobblers. You can do this!

HT: 1-1 (and the Cobblers have hit the bar too!)

FT: 1-3

Good effort. Two mistakes from the Cobbler's goalie didn't help much. Nevertheless we stood our ground well and put up a very good show.

Some of United's players need to put in some 'passing practice', IMHO, Rooney included.

And has Rooney now gone past his best? I think he has. Hmmm? Watch this space.

Having beaten Northampton last night in the EFL Cup match, United's October fixture list now looks like this:

October 2nd : Man Utd vs Stoke (PL)
October 17th : Liverpool vs Man Utd (PL)
October 20th : Man Utd vs Fenerbahce (EL)
October 23rd : Chelsea vs Man Utd (PL)
October 25th* : Man Utd vs Man City (EFL Cup)
October 29th : Man Utd vs Burnley (PL)

Tough stuff or wot?

Hope so E/L.. specially by the 29th Oct.

I thought you had snuffed it Stan. :-))

I had D/C, but decided to rise again.

A bit like your football team Stan. lol

Absolutely onwards and sideways -):

Lol , welcome back Stan.

More a case of onwards and downwards where my lot are concerned.

Thanks Dil.

Looks like you got the same problem as us, can stop em' but can't score em'

..Both clubs to remedy this "temporary hitch" as the season unfolds -):

Wooo hooo , Lamberts on fire .... you can do it too Stan.

Yes we can! -):

Still numb from what I have seen so far this season. Abysmal.

You have clearly been watching the wrong Claret&Blue club then C/D -):

Glanford Park seems to be the place to go then.

Too right Stan.

Absolutely nothing positive about performances at all.

Players brought in are sh1te.

Support a decent team like arsenal then. :-))

Blue is the colour

Football is the game!

Forget Chelsea

EVERTON is our name :0)
