Blackpool v Manchester City

Xavi6

Banana skin time.

Can see this being a struggle for a City, but anything other than a defeat will see us stay in second, and ahead of United, for the second week in a row.

A win will have us a win clear of third and just two points behind Chelsea.

I've a good feeling about Blackpool today.:D

Mushy

Won't be easy for City, but they'll pull through in the end.

cson

Can't see Blackpool unduly troubling City; they aren't going to play blanket defence which wouldn't suit City at all imo.

3-0 City.

Nalz

2-1 City, Silva to produce if he plays

SantryRed

No Holloway. 5-0 City.

blueser

I'll take a scrappy 2-0 right now, thanks. Tevez and AJ.

Xavi6

Hart, Boateng, Kompany, Lescott, Bridge, De Jong, Barry, Milner, Adam Johnson, Tevez, Adebayor.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Will Lescott and Bridge be on the same side?
Could be a weak spot for City if they hard. Blackpool could exploit it with yer man(right winger, the name escapes me).

Xavi6

Varney?

Yeah they should be. Lescott has been very good lately at left back. Both Toures are injured btw.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Aye, I think it's Varney I'm thinking of, he's looked a good player from what I've seen of him this season.
I never really saw what all the hype was about Lescott, tbh. Never rated him much and was quite surprised when City bought him. But I suppose that's what happens when an English player can play half decent on the left.

Don't think Varney's playing, just caught the end of the Blackpool line-up there.

Balls on FF now:(

Love Holloways farm animals:cool:

2-1 Blackpool with Johnson to score first please. 350/1. Had a punt on that earlier.

But really I reckon City will win this and I kinda hope they do. Can see Blackpool falling away and ending up in the mix for relegation along with ourselves so if City can take points away from our rivals I'll be happy.

Not expecting a whitewash from City but hoping for a good open game with City to win it 1-0 via a scrappy goal from Tevez.

Love watching Adam Johnson. Absolutely quality.

Feck me Blackpool are looking good so far

Yep him Silva n Boetang are brilliant signings for City.

Yaya and Milner I'm not so sure

Mushy

Man City being made look quite tame. Some sweet play by Blackpool.

Xavi6

Very lethargic from us so far. Blackpool playing well with confidence.

cson

Blackpool the team with all the idea's at the minute. City are pretty aimless.

everdead.ie

Blackpool have been great to watch I'm delighted to see them this year playing good football and being rewarded for it too

everdead.ie

How did he miss :eek:
actually think Hart got a touch

Mushy

Oh God Campbell

Mushy

And now a goal disallowed!

everdead.ie

Flag up to deny Blackpool the goal

Xavi6

Disgraceful defending from Lescott to get drawn to the ball and leave Campbell free.

Bodhisopha

Lescott is a bird brain. City miss Yaya.

SportsGreatest

Does anyone know of any decent stream?

everdead.ie

He didn't get a touch and didn't block the keepers view could of been given ya know

A Dub in Glasgo

The fact that he went for it made the mind up for the linesman

Villain

Theres an example of how referee's can be influenced, yesterday Gallas does the same as Campbell just did the flag goes up and Spurs get in the refs face and call him to question the linesman and he does and goal awarded. Blackpool made little complaint and ref just awards free out.

Consistency my a$$

everdead.ie

Lovely strike to either side and it could of gone in

everdead.ie

This game is brilliant Blackpool have been epic

Mushy

How typical!

And offside

amacachi

Unreal.

Xavi6

Get in!

everdead.ie

Unbelievable and undeserved and offside

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Jaysus it's only Blackpool like, crowd getting a bit over excited.:pac:

Fúckin offside!

deisedevil

Ah FFS Linesman. He's well off!

A Dub in Glasgo

Lovely finish although he looked offside

Frisbee

And that's why Silva should be playing every game.

ntlbell

"funny aul game"

pool should be 3/4 - 0 up should have had a peno and now a goal down why ref's never give the little man a break

Johner

City are very lucky to be infront! Should be losing this, offside as well.

SportsGreatest

Tevez! :pac:

Villain

Tevez was offside, Blackpool not getting any good of the Ref today

Mushy

The little things that go for you when doing well really. If it was lower table team, Johnson would've scored and prob be 2-0 before that.

What a free-kick, so close.

he also wasn't off to begin with. Very unlucky for blackpool to have a good goal disallowed and a bad one given. Officials have decided a few of the games this weekend with poor decisions.

Villain

Man City have been very poor and really only for the Official's should be 1-0 down

Xavi6

Should be two. Great hit by Jimmy.
