smokie36 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well they must be favourites although Holloway's side were excellent last night. I wonder which side has the bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 West ham have already done Blackpool 4-1 & 4-0. As much as I want Blackpool to win, I don't think they will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Bog-brush-boat gobby-git on the TV every week? No ta. Lets have lugubrious Sam back please. Well done to both teams for potentialy bouncing straight back and for keeping a couple of boring teams out of the top flight.

beano2274 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hammer here, although we beat "the Tangerines" twice already this season, this game is a different kettle of fish, a one off, worth a lot of money, it is gonna be a hard game. Actually prefer Ian to Big Sam as a manager. Whatever the result am a Hammer through and through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done to both teams for potentialy bouncing straight back and for keeping a couple of boring teams out of the top flight. Holloway adds a bit of colour and charisma to proceedings. Allardice is usually as exciting as his football teams i.e. DULL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the result am a Hammer through and through Funny that, cos as far as teams go, would like Hammers to come up, but in terms of managers, would like Mr Holloway back in the Premiership. Have a lot of time for him. Would have loved him to be taking our boys to the Euros. Anyway, i digress. Good luck to both teams - hope the best one wins.

fletchsmile Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Would like West Ham to go up. I'm a Big Sam fan. Physically maybe a big head, but a big heart and and a nice guy too, definitely not big-headed. In addition to Big Sam, there's a couple of ex-Bolton boys in the team so would be nice for Bolton to have some sort of link to the Premiership next seasons Think they've deserved it with the position they finished in the league - well clear in 3rd place and just missing out on an automatic place, plus the wins over Blackpool already this season. All point towards West ham deserving to be there already. On the other hand the plays-offs have a habit of being cruel, and not necessarily going to the team that deserved it over 46 games. Would be one in the eye for the Venky's at Blackburn too as an added bonus if Big Sam takes the hammers up.

josephinebloggs Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) i've no particular axe to grind with west ham but would much prefer blackpool to win. cannot stand allardyce and his enormous fat head. I'd rather have a Manager with a fat head than a Manager who is so ridiculously one eyed that he makes Arsene Wenger look neutral in a pre match press conference... I'll be amazed if Blackpool beat us but if they do, fair play to them. I'd rather them beat us than Brum.

salty Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I would expect West Ham to win it despite the fact that the team finishing 3rd have failed to go up many times in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alant Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 although I would love to see Big Sam shove it up Blackburn and Bolton by returning to the premiership, I think Ian Holloway is just fantastic so come on the Seasiders. Would love to watch the match, anyone seen it scheduled for tv? it usually is on but I cant find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) As a Yorkshireman I'm fed up with the way that the Barclays Lancashire and London League keeps recycling its own, so I'm happy to see Southampton and Reading getting up there (even though they are still effete Southerners). West Ham out of preference - lets have Singh back on here insulting the crap out of us. Rider: another reason for West Ham - visited the Olympics site last week (Stratford Westfield Shopping Mall, which just about takes you into the site - wifey couldn't understand my sudden interest in shopping!); struck me that with a 50,000 football capacity it gives us foreign and Brit visitors a realistic/affordable chance of seeing Premier League football in London and that factor may be the making of Wet Spam if they get residency. PPS - I keep meaning to say a hooray for Wigan. Bleeding remarkable. Looking forward to another season of easy/cheap access to EPL football on my occasional jaunts back to Blighty. I can recommend it. 25 quid for the seat and 5 quid for the plentiful parking outside. Edited May 18, 2012 by SantiSuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SantiSuk Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I don't think they can magic 15,000 new supporters out of thin air - and thats being charitable that they can return to a full Boleyn-style support. They filled it a couple of times at the end of the season when it was obvious they might have a chance, but were a few thou short in most games before that. Still pretty good for Second Div I warrant you. If the tickets are priced at what will probably be necessary to cover the subsidised lease cost then there'll be room for 10,000 visitors and away fans I'd guess! Nothing wrong with that. Away fans would increase the atmosphere - maybe the players might hear the noise accross form the running track after all! If they want to build a global brand having a few thou tickets available for purchase on the net is one way of pushing it along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Have the game on here in Singapore. I am expecting Wham to win, but I love surprises. If Wham do it we can look forward to more abuse from Singhy from then on. Don't really care who wins tonight as long as its a good game, the big one for me is next week. Sheff U v Huddersfield.
