Blackpool Fans!

[dazby]

I totally agree with the pretty boy. Those comments sounded like us 5 years ago.

Good luck to Blackpool I say

They've bloodied a few noses thus far and I'm sure there will be a couple more this season. It would not remotely surprise me if they turned us over or nicked a point. It will be City who will be to blame if they do and we should not have any gripes or any "beef" with bloody Blackpool FFS.

I like Ian Holloway and I will always have a softspot for the plucky underdog. If they beat City they will just be doing what we have done every now and then to a United, Chelsea or Arsenal over the years when we were shit. If they want to talk a big game beforehand then let them, realistically what do they have to lose.

They might go down at the end of the year, but fuck it, they should enjoy it whilst they can. Balls to feeling like the fans who "have no right to be here".....give it a good go on all fronts.

I often go on other clubs TEAMTALK sites to see what they're saying and nowadays for a giggle at, and a wind-up of, a couple of red teams. But the Blackpool page only has one lonely fella posting, about once every 3 days. Surely he can round up a couple of mates to post with?

[Bear60]

im not saying fuck all till after the game!

Very sensible I will go along with that.

Yeah, I'd wait after the game to tell them to fuck off, really. You never know when a bad day is going to come, and it's usually teams like them that cause upsets to teams like us.

Pretty much agree with this from Ant.. their fans have the right to get excited.

Also Bpool have sprung more surprises away from home where they were perhaps expected not to be so up for playing football and caught some teams out. At home they cant do that so much and are expected to come out and play.
If anything that plays into our hands.. im expecting that we will coolly take them apart in a very, sorry to say it, Chelsea type way.

Unfortunately I never meet a Blackpool fan in my life but all I can do is that their manager is absolutely cool!!! Ian Holloway is making an excellent job from them.

[lythamblue]

Well ..... they are even worse now! It could be any worse if we had actually lost. Now they genuinely believe that they are better than us and would have easily won the game if the officials hadn't been biased towards the bigger clubs.

Evidently, we were played off the park, they were robbed and we didn't even deserve a point.

No mention of the last 20 minute spell when we scored three goals (ok two were debateable) or the fact that we hit the bar twice.

All our players are no better than theirs and are overpaid mercenaries (apart from Silva) who has class, but is still a mercenary all the same. Tevez is OK but a cheating fouling Argie.

Charlie Adam would walk in to ANY Premiership side, especially ours as he is far better than Milner and Barry.

Ian Holloway is a better manager than Mancini and they don't seem to realise that he probably cost them the game when he made the wrong choices as a reaction to us bringing on Silva.

Unfortunately, I spent the game watching from a Hospitality Box half full of Blackpool 'Fans' who up until last season were Manyoo/Liverpool armchair supporters, who live on the Fylde Coast.

I am really starting to hope they really do get relegated.

I think you are mean

On yesterday's performances it would be hard to argue with this.

[Goaters 103]

Saw a bit of Charlie Adam at Rangers and Im sure Cityger would agree he's got a sweet left-peg, but is vey slow and was misplaced on the wing by Gers. Now hes in the middle he's playing a lot like Barry, although he scores more goals and takes a better free-kick.

City won yesterday because of two reasons, we got the rub of the green and we were far more ruthless in the last third. Blackpool fluffed chances, whilst Tevez and Silva were ours - thats what £££ gets you, quality in the final third.

Good luck to Blackpool though, they are positive and are very refreshing compared to shite like Stoke and Wolves.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

To be fair, they must be high on their surprise promotion and having a reasonable start to the season. I think it's only fair they are mouthing off a bit. They know it as well as we all do that this will not last for long and after that it will be about 30 years before they get another chance.

I went to university with a Blackpool fan (from Lytham actually). Really nice bloke, but he abandoned the Tangerines and went to get a season ticket at Tottenham when he moved to London for work in the early 90s, something I told him was bad form at the time. I wonder (for about thirty seconds) which club he is following now. At least he can say he was there in the late 80s/early 90s when they really were shit. I went with him to Wembley to see the play-off final v Torquay and several other games around the country. Ah, Dave Bamber - you can always mention him and that game, lythamblue, and see what their reaction is.

I hope they stay up but I can see it getting much harder for them in the coming months. You are only as good as your strikers, and Blackpool's are Championship level at best. They really do have to start taking their chances - the opposition certainly will.
