Such a shame. Man U did what they had to do today and for the most part Blackpool hung on and gave them a fight. But ultimately they lost out in the last quarter or so of the game, which tends to be when they lose most of their points.
I will look forward to watching them attempt to bounce back in the Championship next season and you would think that they would have a real chance but you have to wonder what's gonna be left of Blackpool next season. Adam will be the first out, maybe to Liverpool. Taylor-Fletcher will get some offers. I've heard rumours of our interest in Vaughan. Campbell would probably do well for some lower Premiership clubs. I think even the likes of Phillips and Puncheon could be hunted. And what if Holloway leaves too?
Great escape for Wigan today though. They didn't just scrape through on goal difference or anything but rather got their win to make sure of it. They don't seem to win away from home often either and so to get one at Stoke is impressive.
