I hate football.

Very enjoyable read as always, feel the same re: transitioning to a new system.

Was very excited about the prospect of seeing a team more committed to attacking, but these first few matches have really been ugly.

Here's to hoping that we'll look back on this start as just a small blip.

Has a horrible hollow ring to it, that sentence. Almost like a judge summing up in a young offenders court.

What I like about Mitch's blog is even at his most critical there still seems an underlying affection for the players - our players. Our lads in tangerine. Like em or loathe em. If we all remembered that there would be a little less poison on the board. Now, what was I calling Fiorini when he blasted over....

As enjoyable as ever in the most dire of nights.

That's a good one TD.

I like the Barrow rolling barrel, and boy band stuff.

But is Lytham generally regarded as part of Blackpool? As a working class kid from Ansdell born in Lytham Hospital the two always felt like different worlds. Trips to matches with my dad as a young kid in the 60s, across the wasteland from south shore station, were like a journey to a foreign land. Until I got used to it at least. Not sure exactly where the border is but back then it was the emerging from the station.

The psychological border for me was Pontins when I used to cycle from St Annes to school in B'pool. There was a sort of no mans land of sand dunes between the end of St Annes and Pontins, I think it was mined.

If it wasn't mined it should have been. Heading in by train I would often not see what was happening outside as we were talking and then you emerge at South Shore station. Or you looked out of the window and spotted the pleasure beach and that was the start of the quantum shift. Or you go by car up Clifton drive and hit Starr Gate and the arch. Maybe the flight path was the border? Tricky one.
