Who do we want to win? I predicted West Ham as i think they will be too strong for Blackpool, beaten them twice comfortably this season. But I hope Holloway's lot win it. Plenty of space for a footballing side at Wembley. They go up and we sign Kevin Phillips at last.
I'm rooting for Blackpool. They've played decent football this season and a win for them would also piss off the West Ham loving media!
I agree with Chazz - West Ham are the stronger, but I too would like Blackpool to win. It would really screw up the Hammers and Fat Sam.
I shall be enjoying the game and hoping the better team on the day wins. It really doesn't matter to me who wins. Not sure why all the Sam hate, I like him as a manager, he gets results, and anyone saying they wouldn't want him as City manager are ****ed in the head. Holloway is funny but if he was our manager I'm sure we'd be cringing at some of the stuff he comes out with, as a spectator though, yeah, he cracks me up and good on him. I think I'd rather see West Ham go up purely because I don't think if they stay in the Champ next season they will implode, they will end up walking away with the top spot.
Its immaterial to me who wins. Either way it wont affect Hulls predicament which as far as I am concerned is more important to get sorted out
West ham to win, I don't really care and am not too keen on either club but from a city fans view, I'd much rather have a trip to the seaside than east london!
West Ham will probably be tougher to beat next season, and it is a longer away trip. Based on that, i'd probably rather West Ham - also, I dislike Holloway, so I wouldn't want to see him all next season in the media. But, i'm not too bothered, just want a good game.
Blackpool - love Holloway and given the choice of his style or Sam's style if we got either as manager would much prefer Ian's style to the hoof-ball wimbledon/stoke style which sam would have us playing. Although if Blackpool do go up the media will not treat them well - as "they've taken West Ham's rightful place in the Premier League"
West Ham but only to get shut of them as if they don't make it this season no doubt they will grab one of the auto promotion spots .. Also if Blackpool flop we might tempt holloway to be the new manager ... Then again we might not !
Can someone give me some actual links to real media bias towards West Ham? I keep seeing the same people mentioning that and even though I work in London I don't see it, so curious. Oh and saying you'd prefer Holloway over Alladyce is like saying you'd prefer Sir Alex over Wenger. You wouldnt exactly push either of them away if there was a chance to get one or t'other.
I heard an interview with Allardyce on Thursday night and he said if they didn't go up this season, he'd have to move out a fair few players over the summer, as they couldn't maintain the current level of spending. Normally I'd want them to lose the Blackpool, but as Blackpool have returned loads of unsold Wembley tickets, I'm less inclined to root for them.
C'mon BLACKPOOLL! If WHU don't go up this year and have to sell players they could be with us for a good while longer!
