Up the Pool (or maybe just not Get Relegated)

I just saw that. The "congrats to the Trialist family!" jokes are never ending. They're an official international laughingstock!

Trialist has two goals already. Up the Pool!

The Trialist family had a lot of kids.

No joke, those first two were apparently by the same guy.

Blackpool is so fucked right now.

And they didn't offer a deal to Freddy Adu?

Maybe it is time to break the Puma Kings out of the closet and offer up my services.

I got some big gloves and a long-sleeved shirt.

Show up with your first name on the back of the shirt, and you'll get signed. Expect an enormous paycut.

This pretty much says it all.

Bonus Sam Allardyce sighting!

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 3:56 pm

Well we have a starting 11
Polish midfielder Tomasz Cywka
Chelsea youth product and England Youth international Jacob Mellis
Peter Clarke returns to the Pool (played 2004-2006)

all 1 year with a 1 year option.

They're also being linked to one of the midfielders from Costa Rica's World Cup team.

ETA: They still don't have a goalkeeper.

twoeightnine needs to come back and tweak his shirt design.

BLACKPOOL WORLDWIDE

I haven't read it yet, and there are two sides to every story. But prominent in Oyston's side of the story is HE HAS ONLY EIGHT PLAYERS SIGNED two weeks before the season. I am interested in his explaining that away.

Post by **Sabo** » Tue Jul 29, 2014 12:53 pm

Blackpool have signed striker Nathan Delfouneso to a one-year deal with option for another year. He was a tidy player for Blackpool last year.

Well at least the Pool can't go any lower in the table. What is the fewest number of points ever earned in the league? Is there a great college player in the draft we can at least be happy about getting?

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Tue Aug 26, 2014 2:57 pm

Well the Pool is better than a League 2 team...Morecambe F.C. ("The Shrimps").

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Tue Sep 02, 2014 9:36 am

So 0 points after 5 games. 4 teams have that. What I find interesting are that 3 of the teams were Premier League squads just a few years ago (Fulham, Bolton, Pool).

What is the lowest point total by a team in the Championship ever? I feel like the Pool is making a run at the record this year.

There are rumblings the assistant manager has quit the team, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jose Riga resigns in the next few days.

Karl Oyston is a shit can. He makes the Glazers look like saints.

There we go...1st point of the season

Post by **Sabo** » Wed Sep 24, 2014 11:48 am

Paul Wilson writes a nice synopsis of how Blackpool has become the laughingstock of the Football League.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Tue Sep 30, 2014 4:33 pm

Another point for the Pool. This time against a Boro side that has been in decent form so far this year.

Post by **Sabo** » Fri Oct 03, 2014 9:45 pm

Holy shit, Blackpool finally won. They beat Cardiff 1-0 at Bloomfield Road.

Post by **Sabo** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 9:20 am

Blackpool fired Jose Riga yesterday. Supposedly the team is in advanced talks for Lee Clark to take over.

Clark used to manage Huddersfield, and one Huddersfield fan said Clark "plays for draws, has fits of great anger and gets into rows with the local press". Sounds like a great choice for a manager.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Mon Dec 08, 2014 8:26 am

3 points this weekend. Now only 8 points from avoiding relegation and 5 from getting out of the cellar.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Mon Dec 15, 2014 10:43 am

Unbeaten in 4 games (okay 3 are draws) but 4 points from moving out of the cellar and 8 points (and need +7 GD) to move out of relegation.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 11:47 am

Leeds, Blackburn, Nottingham Forrest all getting transfer embargos for violating Financial Fair Play (not the UEFA version but the league version). Not sure this will help the Pool but won't hurt

Post by **Sabo** » Wed Dec 24, 2014 8:53 am

So, the Blackpool chairman called a supporter a "retard" during a series of texts earlier this week, and now one of their players (Nile Ranger) has been missing from the club for two weeks.

How this organization managed to be in the EPL a few years ago confounds me.

wlu_lax6 · Post by **wlu_lax6** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 10:06 am

Some one needs to explain to the Pool that Snapchat is not so private and what it means to be professoinal

Now Oyster involved in squad selection. This is probably a bit more complicated but still just more acts in this season's 3 ring circus

The FA is finally getting involved to brush this under the rug.

It was a tale of two halves for Blackpool today, as they took a 2-0 lead into the locker room. But they were made to pay a steep penalty for poor defense in the second half, and they ended up losing 7-2.

Farcical.

Fucking hell. The tangerine was hard enough to wear at the kick around. Get it together Oyston!
