Sick of hearing about the Blackpool scenario

Recommended Posts

Everytime i read the paper or listen to the pundits ,all you get is remember where Blackpool were last year . It''s getting boring and lets also not forget last time we were in the prem we got more points in the last half of the season .

We''ll never get the credit we deserve cause many still go by the "little ole Norwich" image which is of a small club in the middle of nowhere with a small support!

 

Although at the moment we''ve only done half a job. If we can keep up with the current levels of determination, desire and team spirit then we should be alright but we''ve got a way to go yet!

Also Blackpool generally only had one way of playing, at least Lambert can change our formation and style of play so we don''t become to predictable like Blackpool.

The Sky commentary team tonight are at it again, bringing up the Blackpool collapse. I thought their little fruit machine graphic with us, QPR and Swansea spinning on the reels was stupid - but on the plus side, Russell Martin was very articulate and sounded like a man who knew what he was talking about.

We live in the North West, and if anyone thinks you can compare Blackpool with Norwich City they are bonkers. Blackpool is a little also-ran club up here, surrounded by a number of big Prem clubs all within spitting distance. Blackpool are nothing. We are not like them in any way.

Food for thought - After 18 games last season Blackpool had 25 points![:O]

Yes, but compare the bottom 3''s points to this year.  There are clearly two very crappy clubs this year (Wigan, Blackburn) plus one who have done much worse than expected (Bolton).  I think there are ten clubs trying to avoid 18th place.

Would they be the same 2 crappy clubs we couldn''t beat? And Blackburn with around 20 consecutive seasons in the top flight, have we ever had that? There''s teams I think we should beat but I disagree with ''crap''.

There''s teams I think we should beat but I disagree with ''crap''.[/quote]Agreed we should have done better against both, but compare the current bottom 3 to the bottom 3 in the table above.Difference between bottom club & 8th in 2010-11 table: 9 points Difference between bottom club & 8th (as of now) 2011-12: 14 points Bottom 3 combined goal difference 2010-11 table: -25 goalsBottom 3 combined goal difference (as of now) 2011-12: -53 goalsNot "crap" in absolute terms, but in relative terms then I stand by the C-word.  I would argue the bottom 3 in terms of points & performances are significantly worse than last season.I would go further and suggest 37 points would keep us up this year.

It also makes me laugh that Liverpool, who have the most arrogant fans I''ve ever met despite doing nothing for the past 5 years, have drawn at home with Sunderland, Swansea, Blackburn and Norwich when all the plastic scousers would have written "deffo three points la''" on their plastic Steven Gerrard calendars.  Tw*ts. But that should be in "other football", plastic mods.

Now compare that to our squad just learning to play at this level , some will make it others will fall by the wayside and drift back down the leagues. It will be Lanberts job to sort out the wheat from the chaff . And i am guessing he already has a good idea of who will make it and who will not. To sit there and criticise the team like you two have is grossly unfair , sure they did not have the best of games tonight but it was Spurs not Bolton or Blackburn.Now stop moaning and support your team
