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...

: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:

(It's already in HD but don't forget to put it on 'Full Screen')

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.

The Kop and such need to police themselves because there is too much trouble from their passionate fans.....passion is one thing but violence and aggression toward visiting teams and supporters is not acceptable !....Liverpool command the greatest respect but must stamp out the nutcases that are going to wreck the clubs reputation !....

Doesn't the Ronaldo statue remind you of an Austrian chocolate confectioner/manufacturer.....?...rabbits and such....?....I know it's easter but this is ridiculous....yummy Ronaldoes now ?.....

RF - any away supporter that's been to Anfield will tell you its not the place that the media like to portray

One of the worst set of supporters I've ever seen - and there's far more of those idiots than many people suspect - look what they did to the city coach

Vermin - they should ban the club from Europe (the same club that caused an English ban previously - what a co-incidence)

I went to watch Liverpool v Chelsea in the Charity Shield about 10 years ago when it was played at the Millenium Stadium. Went with three Chelsea fans and much to my surprise it was the Liverpool fans behaving like bell ends all day not the Chelsea fans.

As Chris said , always the victims.

re Liverpool Man City? Should be a replay on neutral ground!! (That will teach those "supporters" the effects of their immature behaviour) -Yes I am aware this is unfair on Liverpool but you got to stamp this out once and for all.

Two fecking penalties in second half added time and we still lose 1-0.

If it wasn't so funny I could cry.

Congrats to Wolves , they will now go up as champions and thoroughly deserved. Would also put good money on them not coming straight back down.
