Don't know if I should post this here but latest from Bloomfield Road: Blackpool 2-0 Man Utd.

Is this where United start to lose their gap at the top, or is it a one off?

Still got a while to go though.

Wonder what the old school 730 kick off at Blackpool is all about?

3-2 now, put a tenner on that score at HT at 9/1, it was inevitable.

Unbelievable really. How any club could turn down £52m for two players is beyond me. Possibly Real for Ronaldo and Ramos, but there cannot be too many examples like this.

Since £80m was paid for Ronaldo alone, I'm guessing they wouldn't accept that either

Don't know why I bother following the Lancashire teams, always disappoint.

Shocking refereeing in the game though. Everything went against Blackpool when they went 2-0 up and had a blatent penalty turned down too. Holloway will be fuming!

Re: Football Chat Thread : Tue Jan 25, 2011 9:33 pm  

Routine really. Two corners gave us problems. Once we settled down it was a breeze.

Blatant? Varney ran straight into him looking for it.

Or once we took Rooney off?

Great character shown by the team to come from 2-0 down, really hope Rafael is okay, sounded really bad!!

Really shocked about the Chelsea bid, thought Roman's big spending days had gone.
