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...

All de Vea and no idea!

I think Ferguson is going to regret resting Howard Webb for such a big game.

He would hve done well to employ the Ref at QPR yesterday!

Back to the League Cup this week with eight 5th Rd Ties.

Aldershot v Man Utd, R4, 19:45
Arsenal v Bolton, R4, 19:45
Cardiff v Burnley, R4, 19:45
Crystal Palace v Southampton, R4, 19:45

Wednesday, 26 October 2011

Stoke v Liverpool, R4, 19:45
Wolverhampton v Man City, R4, 19:45
Blackburn v Newcastle, R4, 20:00
Everton v Chelsea, R4, 20:00

Obvious question is? who will Burnley play in the Next Round? -):

Personally will prefer Man Utd away (should they survive the Shots of course).

Could be right Stan , Cardiff have a much smaller squad this year and have rested key players in previous rounds.

Any chance of your lot doing the same ?

No, if previous rounds are anything to go by. Howe's squad is also very small and relatively young after the summer clear out. Think he needs to play games for them to blend together.

I may go, will make a late decision tomorrow, assume it's pay on the night being half term with deals on?

Cardiff 1 burnley 0...as from now we will be concentrating on the league -(:

Not a bad game though all things considered I thought, did you go dil?

Fifa charges 10 more Caribbean officials

Fifa's ethics committee has opened proceedings against 10 more Caribbean football officials, relating to the cash-for-votes scandal.

No , didn't go Stan and not even read any reports on the match but saw the score.

Man U at home next round would be nice :-)

Well you certainly don't want City in their current form do you -):

Good luck anyway.

Blinkin' Gunners....did not see the game but had a punt on them....grrrr....

Trouble with a bet like that is that neither Chelsea nor Arsenal needed to win, so as the news reports suggest, neither team really put up much of a performance.

Can't see them going much further this year because to win the champions league you need a winning habit, just chuggin' through the knockout stages is no good....

No bet from me on ManCity tonight.....that will mean that they will win....

Maybe same principal though:
Man C 2-1 Villarreal . . . . . (Coral odds on Man C win 8/13) (decimal 1.61)
SC Otelul Galati 0-2 Man U. ( " " on Man U win 1/12) (decimal 1.08)

Maybe Europa League a better bet on thurs: (1st leg results)
Club Brugge 1-2 Birmingham
Stoke 3-0 Macc Tel-Aviv
Spurs 1-0 Rubin Kazan

Put 2 small ones on Ajax and Inter......a bit risky but good odds....I do the decimal, not very good on the fractional odds....

Ajax 1/2 (1.5 dec), Inter 8/11 (1.72 dec)
Ajax already 2-0 up away from home, Inter 1-0 up away from home. Good luck, but Ajax may not put out a very strong squad on that basis.

Looking good rf! Currently 2-0 to MC. Ajax & Inter winning.

Won both.....makes a change.....

Going for Birmingham and Lazio to win....risky once again....but not bad odds...
