    His comments after the game last night.. Just read them.

    Respect from me, tells it how it is and does not make excuses. Hope Palace get promoted too! I wish there we're more Managers like him.
    When he was asked about Zaha he said he's out for six months. Then when his phone rang during the interview he said. That must be Arsene Wenger lol.

    P.S. I would have posted the link but I've lost it! <doh>

    Yes there are good mates although I don't know if it's from their playing days or just one of those things. I only wish TP had Holloway's sense of humour Redandwhite.

    Top bloke and a good manager. My only critiscism would be that sometimes his team are too open, but that could be down to players as much as how he like them to play.

    Re Holloway, you will not find may Plymouth Argyle fans agreeing with you guys.
    He was full of Plymouth, bleeding green, paint the lighthouse green and white, loved it all just loved it, in the Mall signing his Autobiography on the Monday, saying "what me leave Plymouth, never, its a load of bollox etc etc, the next day he walked out and joined Leicester City.

    They call him Hollow Words down there.

    Nobody blamed him for leaving for double his salary, and lack of investment in Argyle and the board selling off the best players for a pittance.

    But it was the kissing of the badge malarkey and the BS that went with it.

    Quite probably the Blackpool fans think similarly?

    Just saying like
