Wait, coming from a Blackpool fan?


Yes, as I don't have any illusion that the shower of shite that is currently calling itself Blackpool FC are capable of anything but greed and ruin.

PSG has the WORST AI in transfer policy. The garbage they collect over the years is remarkable. Every time I wanted to get rid of someone, there comes PSG like a happy begger


This is so true. When this version first came out, made a City save to basically have a look around and have a bit of fun, trying to get rid of Bony and who should come knocking? PSG Have had it similar in saves since too, bless those silly, rich, Parisians.

Is there any significant phoenix movement? I've heard people are going to see Fleetwood and Fylde?

I think there needs to be general football boycott of Blackpool - home and away fans need to stop going completely,


Not really, there is another team in Blackpool (have existed ages, not part of move against owners) called AFC Blackpool Mechanics or something but they have always been small time and just amateur. Don't think we'll have many fans watching them instead.

As for Fleetwood, I think there is too much rivalry there. We've played them a few times the past couple of seasons so it would be wrong to switch allegiances there. Different town too.

AFC Fylde is probably where most would end up to watch a game, they have a new 6000 seater stadium being built for next season and are currently in the play off final for the conference north so if they win that there'd only be one division between us! Which is crazy to think. Plus, they are a relatively new club with no real history of grievances and Kirkham isn't too far away for most. If I still lived up there and wanted to see some football, it's where I would go.

As for boycotting, there has been the NAPM (not a penny more) movement for quite some time now. Though some people still attended games this season as they had already paid for 2 year season tickets. A lot of those have run out now but there are always those who continue to go and renew every season, blinkered to what's going on at the club and just go selfish reasons. Don't want to go into that too much as it already causes enough arguments and such on our forums.

Another successful Oyston suing of a fan - 30k plus costs and a restraining order.

Our owners are a disgrace.

RIP

TBH I'm not too upset. More angry. We have indeed stopped being a football club, and will be until these parasites at our club are gone.

Fleetwood already 2-0 up against Crewe, so we're as good as buried now.

Should you not be used to relegation by now though?

Fell behind again to the 'nobodies' but a brace from Shola Ameobi helped us progress to the semis.


Those in glass houses...

Lua-Lua! Would you post up a squad screen please?

Yeah hopefully a great partnership for years to come. I went for VDS but Ajax wont take any bids for him. I have signed a keeper though and I'll update later on


Is it a young Buffon from Parma?

They have a category 4 stadium, that is the infrastructure required.

Liverpool already have more tickets than neutrals were offered. I cannot see how you could possibly spin that as neutrals being prioritised over the fans of the clubs.


How do you work that out? Liverpool had 10k, the UEFA lucky dip gave 9k to neutral fans and I don't think you can count the 8k going to sponsors, local organising committee, etc as going to Liverpool fans!

10k <17k

Gutted for Accrington Stanley, looked all set to be in the automatic promotion places before Bristol Rovers scored a 92nd minute winner in their game to steal 3rd place. Hit the crossbar three times in their game but failed to win. Now they have to fight through the play offs.

Ouch. Title and FA Cup in first season though, not to be sniffed at.

Looking forward to your transfer window!

Love how Klopp is encouraging people to go even if they don't have a ticket, whilst the club are saying don't!

Aye, all European finals should probably be in a minimum 50k stadium.

Still though, 9k each for Liverpool and Sevilla is it, where are the other 20k going?


Sponsors will be a lot.

Decent article here

Basically says Liverpool fans have over 10k already, plus Sevilla are unlikely to sell out so Liverpool fans may get their leftovers too. Already 9k have gone to "neutral fans worldwide" via the UEFA application process and

"...UEFA say another 8,000 seats for the final will go to the “local organising committee, national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme”.

Oh Firmino, what a performance from him tonight. Been brilliant this year


That turn



(Forget the Moreno shot)

Hope Liverpool manage to end Sevilla's Europa League dominance, but can see them losing on penalties.

Tbh, having read all the books, I think in a lot of places they are beginning to forge ahead.

Still behind with the Ironborn is all that I can think of for the story arcs that are in both books and tv series. Been a while since I read them though. Probably another couple of years yet until the next book, if ever.
