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...

Is this the one that was drawn in China the other night - who's ever heard of this trophy?

Maureen took it seriously last year and won it :0) It was his route into Champions League this season. Everton and Arsenal will be trying to do the same. Arrogant Prick Joe :0)

Would love to be in Europa League.

With teams like Zenit, Ostersunds, FC Zlin and BATE Borisov Suppose you think your lot might win a few games )-;

Possibly WHU might get a draw here and there.

😃

And the dream start continues.

Cardiff City today became only the 5th team in the history of the English second tier to win their opening five matches.

The other four all got promoted at the end of the season.

Nice one Dil. See you in the PL if WBA survive!

I'll save CC doing a write up

Kicked off - Chelsea dominated - Rooney deservedly booked again (now he's not protected by wearing a Man u shirt) - Chelsea won

End of

:((

Desperate Spurs fans in tears after Burnley game 😂

Well done Dil to your lot seriously trying to join us in the Pre- Madona league and looking forward to taking the customary 4pts off you 😄

Yeah great Joe, glad you enjoyed it! Great team Chelsea. See you at Goodison.

Unfortunately it looks like Man U are kicking into gear - mind you the league ain't won or lost in August

Not enjoying the start of this season.

Burnley's first 5 away games are Chelsea, Spuds, Liverpool, Everton and Man City so not the easiest start on paper, however our first 5 home are WBA, Screaming Alice, Uddersfield, Wet Spam and Newcastle so hopeful there.

This is Stan on the fly bridge at the Fortress signing out.

And ironically you're doing better away from home than you are at home

This is true...so far.

Barkley stuns Chelsea with late u-turn
Lyndon Lloyd Thursday 31 August 2017 83 Comments [Jump to last]

Ross Barkley has turned down a move to Chelsea after a £35m fee had been agreed with Everton and his medical was already underway.
Sky Sports reported that the 23-year-old was set to complete a deadline-beating £30m move to Stamford Bridge but changed his mind before the deal could be completed.

Though there are conflicting accounts of whether the player actually started his medical, the general story was corroborated by the Blues' major shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, who told Sky that Barkley wanted to reconsider his position in January, by which time he should have recovered from a hamstring injury.



Seems a strange decision by Ross. Lot of conspiracy theory's circulating. Surely Chelsea would have given him more money than Spurs would have paid him salary wise. Maybe money isn't a factor at all who actually knows. He needs to be playing, it wont be as a ten if he stays at Everton there are three now ahead of him. Weird situation.

Brilliant form my point of view

And shafted the club that is renowned for always turning the first offer down - even better

Is that the same way as Gaza..........

Wayne Rooney arrested on suspicion of drink-driving

Everton striker Wayne Rooney has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, the BBC understands.

England's all-time record scorer was stopped by police near his home in Cheshire on Thursday night.

Rooney, 31, announced his international retirement last week, after 53 goals for his country in 119 appearances.

He rejoined his boyhood club Everton in the summer and scored in each of his opening two Premier League games.

Cheshire Police declined to comment and Everton has not responded to the BBC's request for a statement.
