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...

Or ..... Terry's defence squad premier league, prosecution amoebic.

Won a small bet on the GB women against NZ.....goodo !.....

Well done RF, sounds like you should stick to the gals rather then loosing on the blokes -):

I thought the general gist of the verdict was there was not enough evidence to find him guilty (even though everyone knows he was).

In every match someone is guilty - so what is the big deal. The ref has the power to deal with it but chooses not to - if red cards were used we would finish up 7 a side for a while until the message got through the egos of the players and possibly the instructions from managers

Ramsey should start. Team were playing tippy tappy side to side go nowhere "Swansea" style til he arrived.

Cracking pass and finish for the Senegal goal fair play.

... and if Joe Allen is worth 15 million I'm English !

You should be so lucky

Welcome to the fold.. drinks on you -):

... dream on , like Giggs I don't even know the words to your anthem :-)

That's all right neither do we -):

Especially that pesky second verse, harrumph.....

Who was the cause of all going to court >>>>>>>>>>>>

BIG brother Rio ( Scumbag/chip on shoulder ) forced Anton to press charges, so he could get Terry charge and get the place on the England team, but the rest is history


Rio Ferdinand charged by FA over 'choc ice' tweet allegedly aimed at Cole after Terry racism trial

..Rio Ferdinand will consult lawyers before deciding whether he will contest Monday's FA charge for his ‘choc ice’ tweet.

The Manchester United defender has until 4pm on Thursday to respond after the FA charged him with making improper comments which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race.
The initial ‘choc ice’ remark about Ashley Cole came two days after the Chelsea defender gave evidence on behalf of team-mate John Terry in his race trial concerning Ferdinand’s brother Anton. Ferdinand initially responded to a tweet accusing Cole of being a ‘choc ice’ — street slang for being black on the outside and white on the inside.

Charged: Rio Ferdinand is in bother over a comment he responded to on Twitter


Ferdinand tweeted: ‘I hear you fella! Choc ice is classic. Hahahahahaha!!’ He later deleted the tweet and claimed on Twitter that it was slang for someone being ‘fake’.
It appears that the FA have not accepted his explanation and Ferdinand has the option of a personal hearing.
The Ferdinand charge came on the day it emerged that the FA’s case against Terry will dog Roy Hodgson’s preparations for England’s August 15 friendly against Italy.

Terry requested a personal hearing after being charged under Rule E3 for allegedly making racist remarks towards Anton Ferdinand at Loftus Road last October. Terry’s legal team must agree on a mutually acceptable date for the case to be heard.

A big win tonight for Team GB and I'll go a cheer them on this Saturday in the quarters at the Millenium Stadium.

Dil - You shouldn't have a problem getting a seat!

Shame about the pitch, must have used too many sheep in their grass cutting role!

You should go Dil, I was at Wembley last night to watch the girls beat Brazil 1-0, the atmosphere was brilliant.

However many medals Team GB win and by whatever measure the Games are consider to be a success, the British public have embraced the Idea. I can't recall an Olympics where the home support has been so incredibly partisan but at the same time fair and friendly.

Tremendous stuff and we've still got lots to come

That was taken 3 hours before kick off skinny :)

Got 4 tickets for Saturday chuckles to watch Wales & Co v S Korea and no need to worry if it goes to penalties cos Giggs , Bellamy , Ramsey , Allen and Taylor will take them.
