It’s been a while since the last blog post and it’s been a while since we turned up for a match. It was great to see us deciding to turn up for a match but we once again gave the opposition a goal from another individual mistake, from Charlie again. Newcastle were happy with a point, If we hasn’t have handed them a goal I doubt they would have even got on the score sheet.

What was really interesting was the starting 11 featured 9 of the starting 11 from the play-off final. Erds played instead of Coleman and Phillips in for Brett. Hopefully having that core set of players over the next set of games will reignite us on a run similar to the one 12 months ago.

Three points would have gone a long way with West Ham, Wigan and Blackburn Rovers losing over the weekend. At least it’s back in our hands now.

Here’s hoping for Stoke win tonight!

Pool V West Brom

It feels like an eternity since the defeat at Birmingham and the past week hasn’t been the easiest with all the talk about Charlie taking the club to court, and transfer speculation about Gilks and Vaughan. At times like this it’s just best to get focus back on the pitch and Monday’s game should be a cracker.

Last season we were very unlucky to come away with nothing from two games against West Brom, losing both 3-2, both winning goals very dodgy penalty decisions. The away defeat was especially hard to take after we got back into the game thanks to a goal from Brett Ormerod. That time the foul looked out of the area while the home one a great tackle was deemed a foul.

As for our starting line up I’m guessing there will be changes, Harewood dropping to the bench with Grandin back in. If Charlie doesn’t recover from his ankle injury we may see Keith Southern win his first start of the season along side Vaughan and Grandin. Let just hope we can grab our first win at home this season.

Burscough 0 – 4 Blackpool – A good run out

Ollie’s first game in charge ended in a 4-0 win today over Burscough thanks to two goal from Gary Taylor-Fletcher, Brett Ormerod and the last from Nardiello (looked like an o.g. to me). The 1st half team played really well with Baptiste solid at the back, Vaughan played in the middle with Southern, Clarke played wide left with GTF on the right.

Young Danny Mitchley played in the hole behind Ben Burgess but all were interchaning from left to right. The home side weren’t up to much until the second half when Richard Langley and co in the middle of the park didn’t hold any structure. It was interesting to see the front three that Ollie wants to use. I’m not sure at the moment we have the correct player to play in the ‘hole’ a certain Charlie Adams might fit in very well.

Over all it was a good day out in the sun, thanks to all that followed on the blackpool fc blog twitter account, for any matches I’m going to I’ll be providing updates and the odd picture.

The Clampetts Beat Chelsea

Blooming heck Burnley managed to beat Chelsea tonight in the Carling Cup beating the current league leaders 5-4 on penalties. Chelsea took the lead when Drogba slotted home infront of the Burnley fans. It then looked like a coin was thrown at Drogba by a clampet, Drogba picked it up and threw it back at the fans. For this picture you can see that the inbreds didn’t seem too happy.

But Akinbiyi equalize and took the game to extra time and penaties. It went to sudden death after both teams missed one pen each and the Beast Jensen pulled off a cracking save to win the match.

So as much as it hurts to say…. well done to the Clampetts!

The Great Escape?

Last night we committed suicide against West Brom, leading 1-0 with 10 minutes to go we let in three goal in 6 minutes to lose the game 3-1. Big Ben Burgess grabbed our goal in the first half, he was pretty crap in the game but scored a header from a free kick.

Phillips came off the bench to score two goals, he seems to have the midas touch, and Ishmael Miller grabbed the third. It all means were still on 50 points with the pack below us closing, at the time of writing this Barnsley are 2-0 up over Watford! It’s going to be a nervous end to the season!

We’ve signed Grant Holt from Forrest till the end of the season, must be better than Burgess who after showing some promise this season had turned….crap.

As ever the first video on YouTube when searching for Grant Holt returned this Fifa 07 Video of Grant scoring from the half way line.

Lets hope for more of the same against Stoke tomorrow!!

Refing the Malaysian Way

Recently in the English league there have been a few incidents with two footed tackles, with Carvalho’s lunge being the pick of the lot. In Malaysian a referee took things into his own hands when players started mobbing he ran to his car to get a gun and started to fire warning shots. Now I should add that the man in black in mention was a policeman hence the gun in his car but he was still taken into custody for suspected misuse of firearms.

Maybe :Iain Williamson: will have to look into purchasing a firearm as some of his matches are bound to to end in him being mobbed.
