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...

Well if Liverpool win tomorrow against the Saints...heuuu...I do I put it...they might be then in Lallana land...

Who's calling who dirty !.....all because one or two bad tackles went nastily wrong.....oh alright call it two dozen....

Chelsea were just as dirty as Leeds especially Harris and Charlie Cooke.

The 1970 FA Cup final and replay would have both ended up as 5 a side matches if they had been played under today's rules.

LOL!! Charlie Cook was a player. Chopper Harris was an assasin, just like Tommy Smith the latter known as a 'Dockers Hook' Neither of those so called hard men could get anywhere near George Best.

Player my arse he was a thug.

David Webb was another one of their dirty gits.

Like Leeds were angels !!!!

Webb was and is a most repulsive bod on and off the field.

I didn't say Leeds were angels but watch the two games and Chelsea were as bad if not worse.

They kicked Eddie Gray off the pitch at Wembley and I don't think he could play in the replay.

Hudson was another dirty git but often did it on the sly.

Both teams had some horrible players from memory.

Nah , Leeds were just misunderstood :-)

Billy Bremner was a pussycat, yeah right.

Misunderstood yard dogs LOL!!

Norman Hunter used to hold Billy Bremner's hand, didn't he?

Would that be Norman 'bites yer legs' Hunter, or was that another misguided myth Dil? :0)

It was Hunter who effectively ended Frank Casper's career.

Can't fault the fans, noisy bastards LOL!!!

Bet you didn't complain when he played for England.

Anyway back in the real world and 2017 has been kind to Cardiff with three wins from three probably for the first time in four years.

Rooney smashed a truly stunning 'record making' free kick in extra time to level the match and thereby give United a point against Stoke.

Because it needed to be so accurately made to actually score, commentators are saying the kick should perhaps have been a cross instead of a shot.

It was so obviously a shot, that we additionally have to realise it as such, and add further praise to Rooney's utter class and skills with the dead ball, IMHO.

Bobby Charlton's record of 249 goals as leading goal scorer for the team had stood for more than 40 years. No doubt Rooney will add to his new tally of 250 goals scored for Manchester United. I do hope some of the ones we are undoubtedly yet to see are as good as this one.
