Brilliant Blackpool

What a brilliant start to our Premiership campaign. Instead of playing Wigan at home, the game was transferred to the DW stadium because Bloomfield Rd's ground improvements would not be ready in time for the start of the season. So today's 4-0 away victory was all the more sweeter. I was hoping for a least a draw before the start of the game, but to have such an emphatic win was just the start we've dreamed about. In fact we could have scored more goals if we had converted all our chances. Considering the away following of 4,200 were outnumbered three times over by the Wigan supporters the noise generated by us made a mockery of the crowd difference. We sang, clapped and cheered our boys from start to finish. Ollie stuck to his promise of playing attacking football with four forwards up front. This paid dividens for the Seasiders because by half-time we were 3-0 up with goals from Gary Taylor-Fletcher and two from debutant Marlon Harewood. Ollie bloodied other new signings throughout the game. Elliot Grandin was my Man of the Match with a very polished performance. Considering these players only signed for the club this week  is credit to their professionalism. At least we have managed to get a first win under our belt very early on and without conceding a goal. Next up are Arsenal at the Emirates stadium, which will be a true test of our character and one we will be ready for.
