Oh give it a go next time, it only snaps once in around 10 attempts, you'll be fine. Would be great to see Blackpool in the Premier League and they have a top manager too

Holloway is a genius...............he should be given the chance to manage in the poremiership.

A genius? Hmm... Holloway is a good Championship Manager and has a brilliant personality - but genius is a bit much. I'm not sure he's got enough about him to become a Premiership Boss. He's been around a bit already. i.e. QPR, Leicester, Plymouth.

There shouldn't be a Football Fan alive who hasn't wanted to make a weekend out of Blackpool Away. Get them around Christmas or May and you're laughing.

blackpool away would be a great day out!

we have played blackpool away loads of times and it always a good piss up and can get a bit tasty down there aswell!

When you look at the company they're keeping in the top six and even the size of some of the clubs below them (Boro, both Sheffs etc.) it's a brilliant achievement for the club. Even if they just miss out they can be proud. On the other hand, if they do get in the play-offs, it might provide them with that bit of revenue to go that bit further next year. I'll be keeping a watchful eye.

Worth pointing out that Holloway is again proving some of his detractors wrong.

He's funny and the Press are constantly on at him to say something else funny. The "let's have Coffee" joke may well have proved to be his downfall in that respect. i.e. It's stopped people concentrating on his abilities as a Manager.

Blackpool are definitely doing very well in what's a tough league, though.

I think Blackpool would be the only team outside of the top 4 to have the away allocation of their ground filled in every game.

Last time I saw football at Blackpool apart from on the sands was a dreadful League Cup game one August evening about 14 years ago. Crumbling terraces, terrible game, and City got beat. Last time I was in the Tower so were Charlie Cairoli and Albert & the Lion

With his stick, with the horse's head handle?...hahahaha...now I know you're older than me...and probably God...:-)

Ian "Ollie" Holloway was being Interviewed on the Radio last night and he said a Premiership Blackpool without any investment would have the smallest playing budget in that League by some way.

Securing a place in the Play Off's is within their own hands - but if Barnsley and Oldham can have a taste of the Premier League then so can Blackpool.

Holy shit Jim! You treat Warnock like football mastermind but question Holloway. Ollie is easily one of the best personalities in the game and it's often forgotten that he is really good manager as well. Certainly better than that turd knob Warnock.

Neil Warnock is a better Manager than Ian Holloway. The former having a record of going in to struggling Clubs and turning them in to very admirable sides. QPR will be in the Play Offs next season and are also an outside bet for automatic promotion. Holloway might have Blackpool punching above their weight now - but if was a great Manager then he'd have moved above the Championship already. Worse sides have made it in to the Premiership.

I think Neil Warnock is much more highly rated amongst Football Professionals than Fans. We only see his touchline antics and post-Match interviews.

The two are from a similar stock, though.

Hope Swansea get that final play off spot. Have liked them from when Martinez was manager and had them playing really good football.

Do really like Holloway though. Guy is hilarious and is a really good manager

Fucking hell Jim! I love your Warnock obsession but I'd love you to point me a person who admire Warnock's sides!!! That is apart from yourself of course.

Simon Jordan appointed Neil Warnock as Palace Manager because he said Warnock sides were always difficult to beat. And he knew how good Palace sides were when they were playing against Warnock sides.

Look how many Managers QPR have had in recent seasons. Warnock is the one man who can turn them round.
