beatlesaint Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 brum will be pushing for promotion straight away They have admitted that their budgeting has been worked out on staying in the premiership. They will lose their high wage earners and need to rebuild, same with West Ham. What we didnt want was Blackburn and Wolves coming down so a good result for us IMHO.

Was that his second or third mention from the comentary team? I mean if he did the flick that set up the cross the made the knock down that bounced the ball that cofused the defender that allowed the shot then he must be worth several tens of thousands of pounds when we move him onto his 57'th team where he will make a huge impression until he goes awol when it matters. Now that he has premeirship experience of being relegated, we are quids in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you actually watch the game for when he touched it or just when the commentators said the word "Puncheon". Commentators don't state the player in possession for every touch.

Rebel Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 Foster and Larsson were already leaving Birmingham anyway - as is Bowyer by the looks of things! They are running at a loss and in debt. Also sounds like McLeish is going to quit. Their better players will jump ship in the summer. To me they look like a club in freefall. It will take them at least a season to get things straightened out - but with 4 years of parachute payments they will be contenders the season after next. Blackpool will lose Adams and Vaughan and maybe one or two others. Its also possible we could swap Puncheon for Phillips now although its more likely they will lose both players. As we saw in the cup game they have no strength in depth - there second string was abysmal. I think they will struggle in the Championship at best! Oh and welcome back to St Mary's Mr Holloway - you're not quite as big as you think you are now are you!? One lucky play-off campaign and one season in the top flight doesn't make a big club. Try 27 years! As for West Ham they will be in a worse state than Brum and B'pool financially! Although they at least have a good academy and a lot of good young players coming through. But I think they are looking at mid table and long stay in the Championship. I'm just glad Wolves and Blackburn didn't get relegated as I think they would have been much stronger contenders in the Championship than any of the others. It's just a shame Wigan weren't relegated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Telegraph said something similar today although they said the shortfall was 23.5mil & that since Brady et al went their behind the scenes management had gone to ratsh1t. It also said that like the ghosts up the M27 the owner hadn't actually given any indications at all of what he intended to invest. Still nice to know we can bank 3 points against Blackpool next year - and he won't have any excuses then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalkirkSaint Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 Glad Blackpool are down as I hate that wannabe comedian Hollaway. Was hoping for Wigan to go down for my selfish geographical reasons but as I have a soft spot for Wolves and Blackburn, I'm glad they are safe. Not a fan of Birmingham as their stuffy style bores me but as they are a "yo-yo" club, I can see them going straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 What's with the faux Blackpool rivalry! FFS, some of you sound like Bompey fans. Blackpool have been a breath of fresh air in the Prem and Holloway is a much, much better manager than his village idiot persona lets on; shame he won't ever get to prove it a bigger club. If they've looked after their finances (and no reason to think they haven't) IMO they will be a major threat if Holloway stays and he gets some of the parachute money to rebuild. I would expect both Blackpool and the battery-chuckers to finish top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect both Blackpool and the battery-chuckers to finish top 6. He had a public go at Saints fans in the media for a playful chant at St Mary's. He also completely ignored the Blackpool fans chant beforehand. It isn't a real rivalry, but I'm sure he'll receive some interesting banter on his next return to St Mary's.

What and then have the managers know they were second choice - hardly going to set the right tone when you are in for a relegation scrap. Plus Grant then had a little run of results - do you think Gold wanted to pay compo and not get his number one choice? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/9364690.stm I wouldn't want Grant anywhere near my team - miserable looking git!

Crispypie Posted 22 May, 2011 Share Posted 22 May, 2011 Now look what you made me do, that just cost me a fiver He actually had the ball a lot. Did you actually watch the game for when he touched it or just when the commentators said the word "Puncheon". Commentators don't state the player in possession for every touch. Yep, fully aware of comentators bias to choose who they want to talk about during the game, especialy against Manure, but they do highlight those that are having an impact on the game, hence I now know that Adam, Vaughan, Crainey play for Blackpool, hell even Ormerod was more involved than Punch, at one point I thought Punch went off for him.

Now that he has premeirship experience of being relegated, we are quids in. I see you're as trenchant in your analysis of football as you are stylish with your prose. Without his very well executed back-heel under pressure from a couple of defenders, there would have been no unopposed cross, and thus no tap-in. I've no doubt at all that he's a disruptive influence and lacks the requisite quality to be a sustained influence in games week in week out. However, from someone who watched the game today and can thus speak from the pedestal of, y'know, actual experience, he was one of their better players.
