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...

Cheating Derby called game off yesterday against Cardiff even though there wasn't a snow flake on the pitch or terraces and the surrounding area was also clear. 3000 Cardiff fans were already on route from an area blanketed in snow and an amber alert still in place.

Nothing to do with the injuries and suspensions they have .... hope we stuff them in the rearranged match and they don't even make the play offs.

EFL now investigating after Derbyshire police throw Derby County under a bus after issuing a statement saying they had nothing to do with calling the match off. Council are also saying the same apparently.

This is not what Derby County told the EFL yesterday.

Was perfectly fine in leicester - roads and all

Evidence of the conditions in and around the stadium have already been sent to the EFL. Derby supporters saying that it was much worse two weeks ago when they managed to play the game against Fulham. Derby have also used the excuse that staff couldn't get to work although the club shop was tweeting ' business as usual ' and one employee had a right go on Twitter saying don't shift the blame onto us we were all prepared to work.

Hope they throw the book at them and deduct points that cost them a play off place.

It might be better if the government ban England from going to the WC.

Yes, it should follow the example of the Welsh Government, Dil. Wales ain't going I hear.

:0) You walked into that one Dil

That's true iturama we thought we'd give it a miss this time round as we have done every 4 years since 1958 :-)

Better idea would be to transfer the Games to London. Never know, if Carwyn Jones behaves himself, Wales may be invited to take Russia's place. Although I suppose that would set her off in Scotland demanding a referendum on the matter.

VAR is a pain.

Lol , probably only way we'll ever qualify.

Chris , it could seriously ruin this WC and cause more disputes than it resolves.

What's that Dil, Wales not qualifying :0)

Yeah bit like UK referees and assistants.

Not one has been chosen from the UK.

Anyway back in the real world , proper football starts again today. Massive game for Cardiff home to Burton as our next 4 games look a lot harder on paper.

Still think we need Villa and Fulham to drop more points during the last eight games to give us 2nd place.

Late equaliser last night gave us a point we barely deserved. That could be the point that gets us over the line.

7 to play and an 8 point lead over 2nd place , next up are top of the table Wolves at home Friday night with a 30,000 plus crowd expected followed by 4th placed Villa away next Tuesday.

Still not confident.

Here he is, at it again!

Cristiano Ronaldo gets the opposition fans standing to applaud his bicycle kick goal:

Missed a few sitters - you can do that then fluff those?

Ray Wilkins :(

Shame.

With Bryan Robson formed an excellent partnership....have to say that Ronaldo along with Messi are two incredible players.....they will be mentioned along with the alltime greats !.....

Good win for Liverpool tonight. Pity about some of the SHITE supporters. Always the victims never to blame.
