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...

Wenger - "I didn't see a cup of tea" and "the kettle should have been off had the ref done his job"

After 3 wins in a week , away at Leeds and Derby and home to Rotherham I can confidently say our relegation worries are now just a memory.

We even scored 11 goals and improved our goal difference by 8.

Good wins for Lincoln and Millwall hope we some more like that this afternoon.

Congratulations to Lincoln but As soon as I saw the poxy changes Dyche made I feared trouble, and trouble we got.

I don't mind so much putting out a weaker side in the early rounds but with only 3 games away from Wembley I say go for it.

Dyche being to inflexible.. have to concentrate on the just the league now I suppose instead of the double...

I note Spurs have brought their stadium demolition forward

Can't think why, bugger all atmosphere at Wembley.

They have Milwall visiting in the next round of the cup

Sutton playing well, lucky Arsenal goal.

Arsenal in gear 2-0. Theo Walcott adds a second for Arsenal

The ever mr. popular of north west football gets the sack again.. I give you the right orible Owen Coyle -)0

Hell football is a cruel game as a manager. Claudio Ranieri has gone you would have thought they would have done it at the end of the season after what he did for them.

Plus a 1-0 win puts them in the quarter finals of the Champions League , they must be mad.

... and they can feck off if they want Warnock :-)

What a bonkers decision.

Who ever works there is on a hiding to nothing now.

Not sure it is as bonkers a decision as the papers et al would have you believe - the strong rumour is that he'd lost the dressing room.

so if you owned Leicester - what would you have done?

Accept relegation and stick by Rainieri as a matter of honour, or

Give them a fighting chance of retaining a PL place ?

Perhaps it's a behind the scenes decision and the like you say if he has lost the dressing room......if you just take what he has achieved for them : then no it's a bad decision but perhaps there is something else that cannot be revealed and the Leicester boardrooms decision is final and he had to go.....I would have kept him at least to the end of the season .......

Just how did they beat Citeh 4-0?

Everton beat City 4-0 Claret, what's your point? Cut throat business now in the Premier League, disgusting is an understatement. He won't starve will he, wonder what his pay off will be?

Everton are much better than Leicester Chris.

I understand about loosing the dressing room and your out, but after winning what seemed to just about everyone an impossible achivement in winning the league (and by an astonishing 10pts) sticking with him til the end of the season is a minimum.

About time some boards standup against small minded cleeks in dressing rooms. Come the summer Raneria (spelling?) would have a chance to root them out.
