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...

Spurs? Had some cracking games against Spurs over the years, talking about Delia Burnley have drawn Norwich in The FA Cup next rd.

Yep, at Carrow Road. Brace yourself for a rough ride!

On paper I agree (V.G. home record this season) but as we know a lot of these Premier clubs prioritise and put out weakened sides for some Cup matches.. and hopefully thats what Norwich will do in Jan to give us a chance -):

Stan, this is what Sam Allardyce wrote to his fans (think he might be feeling a bit bitter!):
"Saturdays 2-1 loss to Burnley was a disappointing result for us after a fantastic performance. Unfortunately we haven't got the win we wanted and instead of taking the point as we always talk about, we have thrown it away.

It is not because we haven't played well, it is not that we haven't dominated, it is about the fact we have switched off on two occasions - the only two dangerous situations they had in the whole game.

We have hit the post a couple of times and balls are flashing in front of goal and dropping down and just not dropping to us. It was a shame after such a wonderful goal from Kevin Nolan. His quality was outstanding to get us on our way.

It is the first time we have lost a game of football from in front. If they had created lots of chances I could say they deserved the win but they have pinched one. That happens in a long old season, sometimes you don't get what you deserve."

"That happens in a long old season, sometimes you don't get what you deserve." Here here, we were the better side against Leeds the other day and held the lead for 74 minutes.. then two goals from them in the last 14 minutes and we ended up with bugger all -):

Any Preston Fans here? http://www.pnefc.net/page/NewsDetail/0,,10362~2538728,00.html

Lol Stan , poor sods.

The two teams I follow have both "benefitted" from his experience .... Cardiff and Leeds and I think you'll find he is still blamed for the financial mess inherited from his time in charge.

Plymouth must be gutted he's going :-)

WHAT A SWISS!!!!!!! Gutted :O)

The way Utd are playing at the moment there is no way they can possibly be title contenders. In fact the emergence of Spurs plus the presence of Chelski and Arsenal puts qualification for next year's CL in doubt.

As for Everton, well, they'll do what they always do - not very much :-)

ptholden - Accept your comment re Everton, Moyes has punched above his weight in the Premier League for several years with Jack Shit funds, imagine what he could achieve with half the funds that City and United have available.

Dil,



Mr Ridsdaaaaale!

Must congratulate Barcelona on becoming world club champions.....what a side.....no Mancunians in the knockout stages of the champions league.....tut...tut....

Stan - I saw Robin Friday play for Cardiff and that article is not how I remember him. He was a lazy donkey and a dirty one too.

Louis Suarez given 8 match ban and £40k fine. Ooop's :O)

Liverpool have released a statement in the light of Luis Suarez's eight-game ban. They are not happy. It says: "We find it extraordinary that Luis can be found guilty on the word of Patrice Evra alone when no-one else on the field of play - including Evra's own Manchester United teammates and all the match officials - heard the alleged conversation between the two players in a crowded Kop goalmouth while a corner kick was about to be taken.

and both the scum club he plays for and the left wing beeb moan about it despite admitting the root offence - the beebs take is his cultural background.

they are that left wing they forget this is England

todays story though from the defunct beeb - JT on trial

No mention of a possible defence being that it was quite acceptable as part of his cultural background

and that's not even questionning the merits of pouring so much public money into a trial with I believe a maximum £2,500 fine. Would plod have made so much effort had this happened in a town near you, between two 'ordinary' mortals ?
