typical united fan always throwing insults to people when they have nothing to say.

man utd, chelsea, spurs, arsenal and man city sometimes make upto 6 changes, so why they dont get fined?

not the brightest are you fella ? the thing i had to say you conviently didnt quote, you just quoted my tame insult, i cant make any promise's but if i manage to get fernanda herself to throw the ball for you would that make you feel better ?

6 changes is 4 less than 10 is'nt it ? thats why ! thats just seen as freshening up i guess but making 10 changes i guess they see that as giving up before they start, the FA made the mistake of fining wolves last season so they had no choice to fine blackpool too.

Exactly my thoughts.

The selection of exactly how many "2nd choice" players constitutes a weakened team anyway = 6,7,8,9? - If a manager wants to drop the entire team he should be allowed to do so.

Also, what if the 'weakened' team win, do they still get fined? Or is it only when they draw/lose?

Couldn't agree more! This 'fielding a weakened team' rule is full of leaks in my opinion. I definitely agree that the smaler clubs are unfairly treated where this rule is applied. The problem is that Ian Holloway openly came out and said beforehand that Blackpool would be fielding a weakened team at Villa Park, where, correct me if I'm wrong, they lost 3-2 to an 89th minute goal. Three days later I was at Villa Park to see United escape with a barely-deserved 2-2 draw despite having fielded a full-strengh team. So on that form Blackpool's 'reserves' can't be that bad can they?

The authorities will probably argue that the likes of United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and yes, even Liverpool can - and do - make wholesale changes and still field about 7 or 8 full internationals. But your'e absolutely right - why allow for 25-man squads and then insult professional players who have earned the right to play in the Premiership by basically calling their ability into question?

One more point - I recall Wolves deliberately fielding an under-strength side at Old Trafford last season and also receivng a fine as a consequence. They - and Mick McCarthy in particular - received a much harder time from the press and football fans alike at the time than Blackpool did, who's 'offence' let's face it, was pretty much forgotten until the punishment was meted out this week. This clearly had something to do with the fact that Wolves' selection was against a United side who may have benefitted come the end of the season in a tight Premiership finish. However, unlikely as it is to happen, should Villa escape relegation by just a point...

I just think fans in general and the media in particular should take off their biased blinkers on these matters and treat each case the same way. Blackpools 'crime' not that I think it was one, could yet have far more reaching consequences come May than Wolves' transgression last season ultimately did.

But Blackpool enjoy a very good press because of the likeability factor that Ian Holloway's interviews and the club's wage cap policy, and deservedly so.

Don't lie, you love it really

it was a suspended fine that wolves got, they dont pay(plus the new fine) unless they do it again,which makes the whole thing stink. if blackpool had won and even drew angainst villa then nothing would happen.

Yeah, I think the only real crime that was committed in the Blackpool case was that Ian Holloway was too honest, in that he actually said before the Villa match that he intended to field an under-strength side. I think he was being clever in doing so at the time as well, showing the powers-that-be that smaller clubs such as his do not have the resources of the big boys, and therefore tactically sacrificing the Villa match to make sure his first-choice line-up was both available and well rested before a potential 'six-pointer' at Upton Park three days later.

He could have invented a bogus 'bug' going round at Bloomfield Road and would then almost certainly have been excused the threat of a fine, but chose instead in his own way to tell it like it was.

So much for honesty being the best policy...

Big game for us today against QPR and a day full of listening to cockney c#nts going 'we're from Landan you facking cant' speak english you pikey bastards

the only chance you have of this happening is no. Typical desperate Chelsea fans with a desperate owner trying to throw money at a club which no longer needs any. Torres is Liverpool through and through, get over it, he aint joining the old men at Stamford "we cant even fill a shitty small stadium like this with real fans" Bridge.

Have you Not seen the league table ? The reds are at the top of the league. I love that you Think buying one player (that nobody else of any quality wants) gives you hope that you'll again be challenging for the league, arhh the optimism of a Liverpool fan.........whose actually a Celtic fan

you really are an idiot go start a man utd thread if they're so great and talk about them because this thread isn't for the scum. Buying one player actually can have a massive effect on a team, WHEN he starts scoring goals and morale improves even more, then all of our other key players will up they're game. It also shows our players that the new board are going to back the team & Kenny. Not saying we will win the league this season but its possible next. Yes i'm a Celtic fan and a Liverpool fan, get over it
