The BIG test for The Seasiders with the visit of the Red Devils (Man Utd) to Bloomfield Rd. Surely after Man Utd's recent 7 goal demolition of Blackburn, the result of this game is a foregone conclusion? The spread suggests otherwise with no obvious score in the spread. There is a humorous reference to the two managers at the top ... 'The Fool' representing Ian Holloway in the left corner (Blackpool) against 'The Emperor' in the right corner which represents Alex Ferguson. Surely the superiority of Man Utd is on these cards somewhere? The World card is on Blackpool's side providing some kind of protective veil ... with the Death card appearing on the Man Utd side which is a portend that last appeared in a home game when WBA had two sendings off! The game is hinted at being fairly balanced with Temperance at the bottom. The spread suggests there will only be 'the Ace Of Wands' between the two managers. Wishful thinking reads this as a portend of the first 'one' appearing in Man Utd's stats this season ... there first defeat. Surely not? Instinct errs on caution to predict a Blackpool win. However... the spread seems to point in the direction of a shock result. Not another 7 v 1 or a 6 v 0 ... but a surprise result. Monday, 29 November 2010
