I did my last blog just after Berg was sacked ,Ive purposely refrained from doing one as I thought hey lets give Crappleton a chance. He wasn't my first choice and he certainly wasn't in my top 50 picks. His record before taking the venky chicken giblets was very poor to say the least . I posted on varying sites that he was not the man to take us up or kick on with. I read Blackpool fans were exstatic at him going to to us because he was so negative and tactically inept. But I thought heyho lets give him a chance .It started with the Venkys useless timing of his his first game to put an appearance in for the the 3 time or so in their awsome tenure. I made it on TV , radio and the National papers venting my spleen at them. Why did they appoint him? Well it seems there was a willy waving contest between the two ex nobbers and shabby wingit . The result being the two Preston chaps had bigger willies than shebby and how the owners love a big cock in charge. So the odious Shaw won and he appointed his buddy Appleton. Some day someone will make a film on all of this and Hollywood will fire it off as being to far fetched and crazy.
Things got tighter and a few wins ensued ,but as the other 105 managers we have had this season the wins were aided by bad finishing and lady luck. How we feared going to Highbury ,or emirates or what ever it is now known as . I for one thought it was going to be another Wenger spanking for us.How I was wrong ,I didn't care if I'm honest about the cup for the first time in my life . I didn't even think for a second about going and went to look at wedding venues for my step daughter instead.We came out and I turned the radio on to find out we had won and I went "oh". The Venkys have slowly killed my love for not just Rovers but football in general.
The win was the turning point of the season and our players got cocky and thought they were world beaters. Appletons reaction to all this was to go even negativier (is that a word?) and as we lost to Leicester at half time his words of encouragement to the team were "lets not lose the second half". What sort of coaching or encouragement was this,0-2 is not unreachable . He sends his teams out (pardon the French) shit scared of losing and would rather lose trying not lose than lose trying to win.
His style of football makes Fat Sam's style look Barcaesque. His comments at the end of games are straight from the Steve Kean Book Of Bullshit Volume 2.Hes another man in a place of power that is too deep for him.Apparently he has hired the PR company that worked with Beckham after his infamous sending off for England and how it shows. Talk is cheap I'm afraid.
The last two games at Ewood rank amongst the most dire performances Ive in fact EVER seen and I include the Kean era in this.Tonight we lumped it upfield and made Shittu look like a worldie and as for the players crocodile tears at the end and Appletons words of how hard we tried ,I'm afraid it doesn't wash. The only thing Appleton has done is dropping Murphy but that's countered by bringing the fan hating Orr back.
What happens now? According to a self proclaimed "in the know" member of a certain message board( from which I'm banned for not being in the clique ) things are going to get nasty next week.He posted in November that after the Burnley game administration is coming. No idea if it will but things stink to high heaven at Ewood these days and its all down to the idiots who own us. I'm distraught at whats happened but i foresee L2 football or Conference football for us in the next few seasons. The media ,radio and papers slaughtered us nasty fans for protesting last season but without saying we told you so ,we did tell them so.I take no happiness in saying it either .
I know its not a journilistic standerd but its my standard.
