Blackpool in the Premiership

[OumaFan]

Derby were pretty awful. That midfielder they have, Adam, seems pretty good. Other than that, it looks a bit rough for them especially considering next year's prem looks strong on paper with Newcastle and West Brom coming up and Hull and Burnley going down. I don't know what their finances are like but if they're smart and don't overextend themselves trying to stay up they could use the money to strengthen the club with guys they maybe wouldn't have to sell if they were relegated.

Yes depends how they spend there " Premiership " money, in recent years the sides have been overly cautious with spending huge amounts like your Burnleys, there stadium wouldn't look out of place in the non leagues!!! I think it holds 12000 lol One of there stands look like something from a sunday league outfit.

But I think it's great especially for there fans they must be buzzing tonight!

Add to that Ian Holloway Blackpool's manager is absolute nutter ( in a good way ) Should be some good times next year, here are some of his quotes:


"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, some weeks they're good looking and some weeks they're not the best. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She wasn't the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let's have a coffee"

"I love Blackpool. We're very similar. We both look better in the dark."
- Reported on The Football League Show, BBC 1, 26 September 2009.

“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."

"In the first-half we were like the Dog and Duck, in the second-half we were like Real Madrid. We can't go on like that. At full-time I was at them like an irritated Jack Russell."
- On Blackpool 2 Crystal Palace 2, 20 March 2010.

"He'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 his cock's massive." - talking about Cristiano Ronaldo.

"It's like the film Men in Black. I walk around in a black suit, white shirt and black tie where I've had to flash my white light every now and again to erase some memories, but I feel we've got hold of the galaxy now. It's in our hands."
- Holloway on QPR's financial situation.

"I have such bad luck at the moment that if I fell in a barrel of boobs I'd come out sucking my thumb."

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

"I don't see the problem with footballers taking their shirts off after scoring a goal? They enjoy it and the young ladies enjoy it too. I suppose thats one of the main reasons women come to football games, to see the young men take their shirts off. Of course they'd have to go and watch another game because my lads are as ugly as sin."

"I want to try and spread the support with my Bristol connection. Rovers are in the bottom division so why can't I try and convert some of them into Argyle fans? We're in the West Country so it's not that far away. Only two and a half hours away in a slow car, an hour and a half in a fast one - or 10 minutes in a rocket! As long as you aimed it right, you'd be down here really quickly. Don't land it on the pitch, though, because you'd ruin it!"

"And I think Mr. Incredible looks like Iain Dowie.

"There was a woman in it who was quite well-endowed and two boys who used to get drunk and have a fight - it had everything for me."
- on Dukes Of Hazzard.

He's a complete fruitcake, that bloke, isn't he? We've got to be careful with him, he's after the old crazy mantle and he's going to win it hands down."
- on Stephen Ireland

Never rated holloway as a manager and always found his ramblings on soccer am something of an annoyance.

but fair play to him today, i genuinely felt happy for him at the end and if he isnt given the freedom on the town he never will be.

Its a hell of a lot tougher to get up than it is to stay up, all blackpool need to do is finish above 3 of the other 19 teams next season and they`ll remain in the league. Probably wont happen but good luck to them

They did really well to get into the premiere league, but think they will do a Burnley.
