West Ham or Blackpool?

[Spurs in Belgium]

Blackpool for me.

Blackpool every day of the week, they were so crazy and so much fun last season. In addition to not wanting the Spammers to go up anyway, they have Mr. Negative in charge, which only harms their cause.

Blackpool, Holloway is entertaining

 

[Mr Pink]

It will be West Ham though, and I'm looking forward to spanking them twice a season again.

Also be amusing to see 20,000 WH in the Olympic Stadium! Hope they get it.

What happened to General Football forum, is everything in here now?

It pains me to say it but i'll prefer West Ham to get it, for a couple of reasons:

1) It'll reignite the banter between fans. Spurs Vs West Ham at the Lane is always a brilliant fixture
2) I'm sick to death of "anti football" and frankly, as entertaining as Holloway is, it's all he'll get Blackpool to play. Remember the game against them at the Lane last season? At least West Ham will give it a go and try and play some proper stuff.

Don't West Ham fans want rid of Big Sam because he won't?

Not with Big Sam in charge they won't. Also, Blackpool were in no way guilty of playing "anti-football" last season, barring Adam's ridiculous lunge on Bale.

West Ham are the favourites. But it seems to me that the underdogs win most of the time in the playoff final.

EDIT: Did a bit of research,in the last 16 playoff finals since 95/96, that's when teams finishing 3rd to 6th compete in the playoffs, there's been 8 wins for the favourites and 8 wins for the underdogs. (With the favourites being the team that finished higher up in the league).
EDIT II: Since 95/96, 3rd place has won the playoffs 5 times, 4th has won twice, 5th place has won 5 times and 6th place has won 4 times

West Ham has finish 3rd and Blackpool has finished 5th. Statistics show it's anybody's game.

There's definitely a trend that the teams that just fail to go up automatically then blow it in the play-offs, especially those teams that were in automatic promotion places for most of the season but dropped out right at the end. Let's hope that trend holds.

West Ham ended the season well though. I'm not a big Holloway fan, and I look forward to West Ham games. Blackpool would be the shit team that take points off us.

 

[Super Tottenham]

West Ham have beaten Blackpool 4-0 & 4-1 this season, I can only see 1 winner.

 

[punky]

Blackpool 100%. I miss big Ollie and his interviews/press conferences.

I trust you haven't watched Blackpool play? Ever. It's almost as if you have the two teams confused in your second point!

Please let it be Blackpool

I'll be cheering on Blackpool, but expecting West Ham to win it.
