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...

Every cloud, with a bit of luck Liverpool will get knocked out of Europa League tomorrow night, leaving them both free to concentrate on Beating Man U to 3rd and 4th spot in Prem. Situation normal for Arsenal. Even as an Evertonian I would prefer Liverpool to pip Man U to a Champions League spot. :0)

Not every English club is the same now are they RF?

Look at our European record and test your English to Overseas player ratio thinking - I think you'll reach a different conclusion

For anyone who still thinks that Ashley Barnes fowled Matic on Saturday, here is the evidence that he did nothing of the sort https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrBPnAdzIps

Now find the film or watch MOT on iplayer of the match and you will see what I mean.

Matic was neither in possesson and it was he who was at fault in that his tackle was wrong, he then gets himself injured (so he claims and then rolls about on the ground) because of his reckless tackle... The ref then quite rightly sends him off.

ashley barnes foul

If you watch the "videos" I have referred to then the evidence clearly shows that if a fowl was committed, that it was carried out by Matic.

I can't seem to find it online - but I did watch MOD.

You are in the minority there Stan, and as for the chicken--string him up. Ha! Ha!

Watch all the real time evidence some of which I have just demonstrated , "think" and then comment, not to do so may give people the wrong impression (which it obviously has in some cases, Shearer and Savage on MOD for example).

More evidence, this is the "pass" without the reckless Matic in the pic. https://vine.co/v/OQErZv6bJpj

MOD 1st occasion @4.10.

Thanks Skinny, more evidence of Shearer and Savage just reacting without thinking things through which as they are both ex. pro's in the game makes it even more odd.

Oh dear Spurs out, Liverpool out, Celtic out. Everton up 7-2 at half time :0)

Cardiff City: Bluebirds report £12m Premier League loss


By Rob Phillips
BBC Wales football correspondent.

Cardiff City lost nearly £12m during their debut season in the Premier League.
The club's latest accounts, for the year ending May 2014, also show the Bluebirds owe around £174m - most of it to owner Vincent Tan.
This was despite revenue increasing more than five fold to almost £80m.
The club's annual report says support from Malaysian investors "will continue" as long as "the business develops as planned".
The financial figures showed that the club's broadcasting and commercial income rose from from £8m to more than £70m.
Wages and salaries went up from just over £27m to £46m.

Severely IQ challenged Stan thinks they weren't fouls despite the overwhelming agreement of fellow players, pundits and ex refs

No hope for some

Clearly you are also in denial JS.

That 12 million is a paper loss due to a right down of assets. Also not included are the sale of Caulker , Medel and Mutch for around £20 million after the year end and a further 5 million due to us for tv rights.

Parachute payments and reduction in playing staff will see the debt reduce this year but who cares as its due to Tan not outsiders so if he puts us in administration its him that loses as net debt is about 81 million.

Happy days , more chance of Burnley going bust :)

Plus we don't pay interest on the loans from Tan which is what cripples most clubs. Have a look at the state of Bolton and they haven't got a billionaire owner to finance them poor sods.

"Happy days , more chance of Burnley going bust :)"... More chance of your lot finishing in the top half of the Trampionship more like -):

Yet another Burnley win over the Carduffers this season... Yee ha!

The world cup in 2022 cannot be as short as FIFA want : starting on 26 november, ending on 18th december : nuts !.....they are going to have to start at least a week before and of course move the FIFA world club competition that year.....it's not a bad idea having it in winter...(might suit british players for a change)....

Disastrous week for English clubs in Europe : and Chelsea will have to be at their very very best to knockout PSG.....
