blackpool in the prem?

Blackpool are in the play-off final after beating N.Forest last night, that leaves them 90 minutes away from a dream of being in the premier league next season.

Tonight Cardiff plays Leicester (1-0) at home & look set to be in the final too.

Howay the Toon boyz:
Argentina Coach Diego Maradona has now named his preliminary 30 man squad for the forthcoming World Cup Finals - and included not only Jonas Gutierrez but also his fellow Magpie, Fabricio Coloccini.

Seven players will be cut from that selection and a final 23 man squad must be declared to FIFA on Tuesday June 1st. Argentina face Canada in a friendly match in Buenos Aires on Monday May 24th

Ian Holloway was very delighted by winning yesterday.

did the 2nd leg happen yet? we have a customer from england and his team is nottingham forrest...lol...his other coworker was making fun of it few years ago when they visited here. They were also shocked that someone in US (me) knows so much about soccer/futbol.

nottingham forrest has a couple of champion's league trophies too from back in the 70s

cardiff in the prem?

The 2nd leg just finished moments ago.

Cardiff is now 90 minutes away from the prem. Watta crazy game as Leicester won 3-2 and the game went to penalties & cardiff won 4-3.

The most expensive game in football is next week in Wembley. Cardiff V Blackpool.

PS: if cardiff makes it there'll only be 19 English teams in the prem as they are a welsh team C'mone geordie boy Chopra

bring on the blackpool nights

Blackpool made it.

That's it, they are officially a premier league team.

Congratulations to them and their fans (I'm sure there'll be none here) and wish them all the luck next season.

another 'Pool in the league

it will be a tough away fixture, hopefully we don't have blackpool away on the first day of Prem.

btw, they sell less than 10K per home game and so many of their players are loanies.

big summer for Blackpool or they will go down next season

hopefully they make the right choices

[HuSsAiN]

This will be my verdict. They will beat few of the top sides, but get relegated (abit like Burnley)

Gosling is a Magpie

Hi guys, long time no post.

With 3 weeks to go till the prem kicks in & the drama begins.

Anyway, today NUFC signed England U21 player Dan Gosling, Liverpool fans will remember him very well from last season (FA cup) & MU too as he scored against them both.
As Everton couldn't finalise his paper work we got him on a free.

We (by a mile) have the youngest team in the league & our new number 9 Carroll is 21 only! Tho only 2 players in the whole squad over 30 are Harper (keeper) 36 & Lovencrads 30.

Our target this season is simply survival. Anything extra is a bonus.

Bring it on, Howay the lads

Why? So bitter & twisted so called football fans like you can show their true colours.

What amazes me is why do you bother writing here if you hate them so much? Or is it a personal issue with me? You never seem to write anything productive about any team but yours! I feel sorry for you brother.

Dan Goslin went Newcasle ? Thats a good signing... however Rodwell is better than him, and Everton have enough cover in midfield anyway.

Roy, you ready for Old Trafford??

No I'm not

Not expecting anything from that game, our battle is with the teams from 7th down, anything we get from the top 6 (chelsea, MU, Aresenal, Spurs, City & Villa)is a bonus. I don't think Everton & liverpoo are strong enough unless they spend big before the end of the market.

I think the team to watch is West Ham, I've got a feeling they are in for something. I predict top half for them.

I'm gonna put a 10er on each arsenal & city to win the title, they seem stronger than last season & the others haven't added much, Chelsea are slowly turning into AC Milan & will soon hit a wall when the team is in their mid 30s.

friendly games are meant ti give players a chance to play, we've tried 4 keepers & 18 outfield players in our 2 friendly games.

Same time last year we lost 6-1 to Liton orient! Were did we end & where are they now? Good game v Kisersloutren by the way
