Home Match Day Thread 21/10/2023 L1: OUFC v Blackpool

[Hero]

Is everything okay at home?

I take it you’re referring to my mid morning drinking? If so, I thought it was standard practice watching league 1 football.

 

[Mojofilter]

Maybe I'm just a layabed but I've never considered 8am "mid morning"

 

[m]

I’ve now been drinking since 8am but for the avoidance of confusion, did you really just call Barnsley a big club?

In absolute terms, no.

By comparison to Blackpool, yes.

We’re a well supported club.

You’re not even bringing 1000 fans today which is poor for such a massive club.

Barnsley are a bigger club than Blackpool, their fans also aren’t obsessed with our club.

Mate, have a day off. You deserve your parole.

Wash your mouth, buddy. Barnsley reached the FA Cup final twice, winning one of them.

Does anyone know why Blackpool of all sides is the fixture which seems to bring loads of fans onto this forum?!

Boredom I expect. There's very little to do in Blackpool after visiting the Pleasure Beach, staring at the tower and doing some anti-social behaviour.

 

[Eaststanding]

Strange bunch.
However, I can see this being a physical game but we’ll have too much for them; 2-1 win.

It seemed to really affect them when Brannagan wouldn’t sign for them and decided to stay put here.

Ever since we have a few of them come on here to tell us what a big club they are and how they are glad they never ended up with Brannagan.

Win today and they will scuttle back off until later in the season.

 

[MJB]

So many bites this morning.

No he’s bringing an electronic tag

No.

Say's it all really, calling yourself Hero....

I’m just one of many thousands and as the song goes….


Hero’s of the night,
that would rather f**k than fight,
we’re the hero’s of the Blackpool fusiliers.

Churchill... We'll fight them on the beaches

The Blackpool inferiority complex is entirely about Brannagan.

To try and see it from their point of view, it isn’t just the a Championship club couldn’t offer the wages or make itself a more attractive proposition than a League One club.

What must have really embarrassed was the constant messing around trying to offer something beneath the release clause, which was itself ridiculously low.

Their club - and most of their fans - thought a L1 club would be seriously awed by their financial power.

The way that it played out left them in no doubt that football had moved on and left them behind.

From there, it’s classic stages of grief stuff - denial (offering £10 for a £1m player is fine), anger (at Brannagan for turning them down), bargaining (Kyle Joseph is a £10m player we got for free) and soon we’ll hopefully get to acceptance.
