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...

Fantastic goalkeeper.....if you had to name the top best ten keepers ever : Gordon Banks is one of them.....the save from Pele in the 1970 game against Brazil is probably the greatest save of all time.....apparently people behind his goal screamed goal !...and Pele shook his hand....England had a superb side that year....

Yeah...he was alright I suppose, but clearly not in the same league as Tom Heaton of Burnley ... Isn't that right C Dil? 😁

The Stat which shows Burnley are currently the fifth best team in Europe.

..And you were saying C Dil? -):

On a show today; asking Banks how often he had to talk about saving Pele's header, a caller said he received the reply - To be honest, I'll be glad when the ball goes in.

The Carduffers have just turned down a massive £400 Million deal with a leading dog food manufacturer .....

A spokesman from the EFL said having “Winalot” across the players shirts would be taking the ****!

RIP Gordon Banks , can't believe he was never knighted.

What a goalkeeper.

Keep it up Stan , going to miss your jokes when you get relegated.

Ha ha, now we know that’s not true don’t we C Dil.

Poor Man U , gutted for them.

Oh were they playing, not interested in European football now that we decided to concentrate on the league )-:

I thought you wanted to be in Europe , make your mind up.

Man U will be out before the UK after last nights result.

Hey Championship, as your on I thought you might want to be reminded of what to expect when you visit the Fortress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z5TPMkHtik

Lol , 5 goals in 5 years ... top scorer is he ?

Basher Barnes... be afraid be very afraid.

Real Madrid are starting to remind me of Bayern Munich of the mid-seventies......very talented ……(you don't win three European champions trophies by accident)….but there are similarities in the way they play....Bayern had a fair chunk of luck at the same time but also they would be times they would just chug through a game not doing anything remarkable and then punish the opposition very swiftly...Real are the same today.....: there will come a time when they will be punished severely because teams will get aware that if you attack them suddenly they will let in goals.....they have been a superb side over this last decade and deserve to stand amongst the greats !...but I feel their time is coming to an end......

Leeds were robbed by Bayern Munich.

Get it right Championship you mean dirty Leeds )-:

How dare you say that Leeds used to play dirty...….it was just they would not let anything pass....that's all....Norman was a Hunter......

😂

The Leeds of 1975 were unlucky in the final Dil....could have been 2-0 up before Gerd Muller struck....(what a predator he was....)...foul by Franz Beckenbauer in the penalty area on Allan Clarke not given....goal by Peter Lorimer (worth a watch if you can access old replays ! )…..not given because the German players kicked up a fuss...offside by Billy Bremner…..if the game was played today : that strike would have counted as BB was not interfering with the ongoing play......I hope Leeds don't blow their promotion chances.....still a long way to go and every game is difficult.....once there...(if of course)...they might do a Leicester....ha ha...
