Well Done Blackpool!

[bigturnip]

Well done Blackpool for keeping the English Premier League in tact, no need to get our passports out except for the Champion's League games now.

Can't wait to see Blackpool playing in the top flight next season, they play some great attacking football, I think Ian Holloway will be great for the league.

"Every dog has its day, and today is woof day! Today I just want to bark!"
- Holloway after securing promotion to the Championship."

 

[Spurger King]

Agreed. Cardiff must be one of my least favourite teams in the league, so I'm very happy we don't have to put up with them and that section of moronic 'fans' that travel with them.

Well done Blackpool.

 

[fazza]

Fcuk about, Blackpool in the Premier League, who'd have funk'd it :lol:

 

[punky]

I can't wait to see Ian Holloway on MOTD next season.

 

[TheChosenOne]

That's a trek getting up to there, been a few times for weekend stag do's, full of Northerners as well !

Even though I wanted Blackpool to win, I don't understand this problem some people would have had with a Welsh side being in the Premier League. So what they are Welsh, they play and have played in English league football for decades.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Make a nice change for someone different to do the double over us next season

 

[Durrrr]

Their capacity is 12k :Eek

The only problems I've heard people have with them is their violent, neanderthal fans.

Oh stop moaning!

Wanted Cardiff to win, atleast they have a decent following.

 

[Durrrr]

Oh stop moaning!

I've witnessed their fans first hand, unfortunately.

They smashed up my town's tesco with their drunken antics a few summers back (after a pre-season friendly).

What a bunch of idiots.

No worse than Millwall/Stoke I suppose but I was still glad that Blackpool won.

I've heard a few people (fans of other clubs) say that we've got a bit of an element (a crew, or whatever) that's a bit iffy too. Is that true? Most clubs do, I guess.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

A victory for football. And shows the value of Coaching, playing passing, moving possession football.

This is a most unlikely outcome, purely achieved by the above methods.

With Holloway in the EPL as the cherry on the top.

 

[SpunkyBackpack]

I can vouch for Cardiff fans being a bunch of horrible horrible people, when they were down with Exeter City it was a regular thing to find either the fans bus or the players bus had been fire bombed while the game was on. The last thing the premiership needs is Cardiff fans or away days ending in a night out in Cardiff, walking through Cardiff at 4am on a Sun morning is the closest thing to downtown Badgad ive ever seen.



That being said, i cant stand Holloway, irritating little git, but its 10x better than the alternative.

You can't despise the man, not when he's delivering these golden quotes:

10 - Heart on sleeve:

"There was a spell in the second half when I took my heart off my sleeve and put it in my mouth."

9 - Hung like a hamster:

"Ronaldo's six foot something, fit as a flea, good looking - he's got to have something wrong with him. Hopefully he's hung like a hamster - that would make us all feel better. Having said that, me missus has got a pet hamster at home, and he's got a massive one."

8 - Arise, Sir Beckham:

"Sir David Beckham? You're having a laugh. He's just a good footballer with a famous bird. Can you imagine if Posh was called Lady Beckham? We'd never hear the end of it!"

7 - Blackpool rocks:

"I love Blackpool. We're very similar. We both look better in the dark."

6 - Sing Star:

"The fat lady hasn't started to sing yet, but she has a microphone in her hand."

5 - Lovely Moss:

"Anybody who is a QPR fan is welcome at Loftus Road. I'd be happy for him to turn up for a kickabout, just so long as he brings that Kate Moss with him - she's absolutely lovely."

4 - Daylight robbery:

"If you're a burglar, it's no good poncing about outside somebody's house, looking good with your swag bag ready. Just get in there, burgle them and come out. I don't advocate that obviously, it's just an analogy (of attacking football)."

3 - Nice badger:

"I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season."

2 - Get your coat...:

"To put it in gentleman's terms, if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, you've done what you set out to do. We didn't look our best today but we've pulled.

"Some weeks the lady is good looking and some weeks they're not. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi.

"She may not have been the best looking lady we ended up taking home but it was still very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much and let's have coffee."

1 - Life sucks:

"Right now, everything is going wrong for me - if I fell in a barrel of boobs, I'd come out sucking my thumb!"

He's a knob, i caught his little rant at the end of the playoff final about money and 'this country bla blah blah', cos he's obviously on £5.90 p/h in his job.


Recycling shitty jokes in a press conference to mask a pretty shoddy managerial history (until now) does not impress me, he's a plum and he'll be unemployed this time next year.
