Good news, but can't help feeling we have not seen the end of the Oyston fiasco.

[Woody]

Blackpool have sold nearly 12,000 tickets for the “Homecoming “ match on Saturday and they’ve also taken down the O****n advertising hoarding in the ground

One night in Paris!

Magic!

Haven’t seen any of the match yet, but it’s a great result, hope we can get something similar next week in Munich.

Over 13,000 tickets sold by Blackpool for Saturday

Bit worried that the Nolan’s are going to sing

Hatton also issued a word of caution, suggesting tomorrow’s game will be a learning curve for the new board. He added: “This building will be full on Saturday. There will be 16,000 fans or so – that’s about five times the normal operating level of this building. “We’ve had to staff up for that. We’ve had to become operationally ready for that and the staff have had to become ready in a very short space of time. “There are only a handful of staff here who have ever seen this building like that and know how it operates. “So we’re asking fans to enjoy the carnival atmosphere but recognise we are all learning as well, so forgive us if there are some bumps in the road but we will get those right as the season progresses. “In terms of what we’re doing, we’re going to honour all those fans who enjoyed coming here before the protests started but are no longer with us. “We’ve got a lot of former players – 30 or 40 or so – and we’ve got the Nolan sisters, which personally I’m very, very excited about.”

Still kicking but got a bad case of cellulitis. Very painful! See everything is going to the wire between us and Woody's team. That other red shirted lot seem to be doing better as well. A lot of US owners trying to stitch City up. They will fail methinks.

Good to hear from you Laser

15,871 at Bloomfield Road this afternoon, don’t know if that includes the Nolan’s

Looks like Pochettino is going to be at the Spuds next season

Zinedine Zidane said he is "very happy to be home" after returning as Real Madrid manager just 10 months after leaving the Spanish giants.

The Frenchman replaces Santiago Solari, who was sacked after less than five months in charge.

Former Real midfielder Zidane, 46, who left in May after leading the club to a third straight Champions League trophy, has agreed to take over until 2022.

The first of many

Former Fifa official Luis Chiriboga has been banned from football for life after being found to have taken bribes to award media and marketing contracts.

Chiriboga took illegal payments in exchange for rights connected to the Copa America and Copa Libertadores.

The 72-year-old, who served as president of the Ecuadorian Football Association, has also been fined one million Swiss francs (£770,000).

US authorities charged Chiriboga and several other Fifa officials in 2015.

He was sentenced to 10 years in Quito on corruption charges in 2016.

Former Guatemalan Football Association president Rafael Salguero, another of those investigated by the Department of Justice on alleged corruption, was given a seven-year ban last week.

When you haven’t won for nine matches, a point will take you off the bottom of the table, why would you do this

Ole is now the permanent boss.

[Wodrick]

As you know I know nothing but after his results had to be didn't it.

[Woody]

Ole is now the permanent boss.

Until United change their operating strategy over seen by the Glasers and Woodward, doesn’t seem to matter who’s in charge of the football side of things.

This next few weeks is not going to good for my blood pressure and I nearly split my stitches when Liverpool scored in the 90th minute yesterday, hope Laser was watching
