yeah m8, got to agree with you there the first half was a cracker.....:Clap:
Blackpool completed their fairytale ending by sealing promotion to the Premier League with a scorching 3-2 victory over Cardiff in the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
The Seasiders unleashed a blistering first-half display on what was the hottest day of the year so far to edge out the Bluebirds 3-2 and book their spot in the top flight for the first time since 1971.
The blazing heat did nothing to stop a downpour of five goals in a nail-biting opening half, with Pool twice coming from behind before surging ahead on the stroke of half-time.
And Ian Holloway's men, thought of as favourites for relegation by many ahead of this campaign, were still dangerous in the tight second half, refusing to relinquish their advantage despite a strong and at times unlucky showing from their opponents.
Charlie Adam got Pool on the scoreboard with a sizzling free-kick in the 13th minute in response to Michael Chopra's opening strike four minutes earlier.
Cardiff then went back ahead towards the end of the first half as Joe Ledley produced a superb run to slot the ball past Matt Gilks, but Pool were swift to reply once again as Gary Taylor-Fletcher headed in the equaliser from close range three minutes later.
A scrappy effort through the legs of Cardiff keeper David Marshall from Brett Ormerod in the first minute of added time wrapped up the scoring for Blackpool, who doggedly defended that lead through a goalless second half to seal their happy ending.

Wonder if the same will happen to Leeds United within a year or two lol. Simon Grayson got Blackpool out of League One and he also got Leeds out of League One....coincidence ? Doubtful lol.
Congrats to Blackpool though, they'll rake in a fortune now with the extra custom every Saturday for every other Prem teams fans - though some Man U fans will start supporting Blackpool now just so they get to go to Pleasure Beach every week just you watch lol.

Very good game and congratulations to the team, as per many championship sides they will need to buy smartly and work hard to remain in what is a very competitive and financially driven league.
