FOOTBALL & FAIRYTALES

Well here we go its survival sunday and i hope against hope that blackpool can give us a football fairytale and stay up.The odds are stacked against em & i know a couple of pne fans read this and are desperate for the "donkeylashers" to fall through the premier league trap door.Blackpool are 1/3 to go down but only 5/1 to win @ old trafford ?? I have a close affinity with bfc,luckily enough my first game with the old man was 1975 v sunderland and micky walsh scored the goal of the season & i think budgie burridge (mad as a wasp)saved a pen.In 1980 Unfortunately or fortunately which ever way you look at it my mates and i used to frequent manchester on saturday afternoons checking out the threads and picture discs in the underground market,arndale centre, stolen from ivors & the virgin megastore.One of my mates, big chad was born in manchester and his dad was a blue,so off we went on the no 19 from outside the arndale to maine road,and once i heard the raw of the kippax i was hooked,the football irrelevant(asking for trouble)the atmosphere,no disrespect to bloomfield rd was on another level.We followed city all the way to the cup final with no ticket only to see tommy hutch score @ both ends in a dull draw.We also followed Blackpool everywhere in midweek(if city wern't playing) in school leaving year culminating in an arrest @ doncaster,some prick threw an ashtray from the coach and we all got locked up !!! favourite ever blackpool  player was eamonn okeefe a stocky little fucker but scored great goals,once scored the perfect hatrick v donny(again) left foot screamer,right foot tap in and a diving header only played 36 times for blackpool and scored 26 goals.Favourite ever city player was george kinkladze shame he was in a poor side,had a liquid left foot and if david silva is worth 25 mill so was kinkladze and maybe more in my opinion.So yes i suppose i am a plastic manc but if you have followed your team home and away and suffered the dross i have(i once even payed to view colchester v city on tv when we were in the old second division and attended 12 home games that dreadfull season, thank fuck for mark halseys watch paul dickov and nicky weaver !!!! So come on blackpool on sunday,dont change a thing,play with naive abandon,and whatever happens you have entertained us all,and you never know by 5.45 on sunday lets hope were talking about BFC a football fairytale !!! till the next time much love xxxx
