Soccer Post: English Premier League Season Ends...

[Maroon Eagle]

I love a relegation battle.

Too bad Blackpool got relegated especially since Charlie Adam's goal helped me win my fantasy premier league in a very close contest.

They played a really entertaining brand of football, much more than most of the teams in the EPL. Unfortunately, they had a Rebel defense - way too many late goals allowed. However, they would have struggled to stay up next year, as it is certain that Charlie Adam would have been picked away. Most likely any of their other stars (D.J. Campbell and Gary Taylor-Fletcher) would have transferred too. It was a fun team to watch.<div>

At the half, Wigan and Wolves were in the Relegation zone. At the end, it's Blackpool and Birmingham going to the Championship.

(Liverpool) have the inside track on Adam. We nearly got 'em in January. US soccer will never really arrive till we start promotion and relegation. I hate it that Blackpool went down too. I always like those teams that haven't beeen up in a long time. Liverpool HAVE to get on the stick again. It sucks that Man U passed us, 20 wasted years in the EPL.

Last thing the Reds need is yet another central midfielder. I'd like to add a few wide players (fullbacks/wingers) who can also deliver a decent cross now that Andy Carroll is available as an aerial threat.

I think we.......

Ah, I loved Blackpool this season, too. Charlie Adam was awesome for my team, as well. (FPL is fun as hell, might I add- third year to play.) I wish the best for that guy, he's very good and battles hard. Very sad to see them leave.

But, I love the relegation system, as well. I'd like to see MLS go to that.... but, I have seen a lot of improvement over the past few years, as well. I think it's getting there.

I didn't know who else was going to emerge from Blackpool as a goalscorer. D.J. Campbell was awesome. Odemwingie from West Bromwich, Everton's Leighton Baines, and Dempsey & Hangeland of Fulham alsohad great seasons for me.

We're all waxing nostalgic about Blackpool so much. I may be an Arsenal fan butI love theTangerines' attacking style.
