FERGUSON: THIS IS NOT OUR CUP FINAL
Many critics are claiming the upcoming derby between AFC Fylde and Blackpool is considered a cup final glamour tie for The Coasters but manager Duncan Ferguson hit back at that suggestion.
"It's another game in a hard run-in. It'll likely have an edge to it and all players will be up for it but to say this is the biggest game of our season is nonsense. We want to win this and build on the previous result at Accrington."
Joe Parkinson was in more of a fiery mood in his pre-match press conference and hit back at reporters when questioned about Duncan Fergsuon's rise to the football league and his team's style of play.
"I'd rather you asked questions about Blackpool but what Duncan has done there has been nothing short of incredible but we know our side have more quality and I would expect nothing but a win."
With Blackpool in 17th and Fylde in 22nd, it really proves to be a bigger spectacle than just a local derby. The battle of the Lancashire coast is sure to be thriller.

He'll be coughing up his pies come the final whistle. I've told my lad who is a ball boy to get into Parko's face and tell him how he likes his world cup final the scruffy tramp.

FYLDE DEFEATED IN FIRST COMPETITIVE LANCASHIRE DERBY
Fylde started brightly, set up strongly and broke with regularity. The midfield threaded balls through to Ellis Simms and on 25 minutes had his shot saved from close range. Fylde looked positive and the fans seemed confident. We got into half-time at 0-0 and it was a different Blackpool side that came out in the second half as they looked more lively. Ellis Simms drifted out of the game as it went on and was later substitued for Stephen Dooley who went left wing as Tyrone O'Neill went up top. Kadzidlo had the beating of Reid at the far post and buried his header to break the deadlock with 20 minutes to go. Two minutes later it was a long ball over the top for Rowan Roache who calmly slotted away putting the game to bed. Fylde did not give up and ended the game playing good attacking football. Tyrone O'Neill with two efforts but both saved by Sondergaard in goal. Joe Parkinson was delighted to get the victory and move Blackpool away from the danger zone. Duncan Ferguson was quickly down the tunnel on the whistle no doubt to give his side some words of encouragement after a fair display. The scoreline is what counts and the fans know things have to improve for this season to be successful.
DF: It's hard to lose the way we did. We played well first half and carved open a number of chances. Simms was unlucky not to finish but I like how he plays on the shoulder of the defence. He's got the pace to beat most players to the ball and he does it often. We lost the game and that's what the fans and chairman remember. Am I worried about losing my job? Not at all, the chairman has been supportive and understands things don't always go the way we want it.
(On backing the manager in January transfer window) "For this club to survive we need to improve key areas on the pitch. If the chairman can allow me to bring in a player or two who i believe can keep us up then I feel he has to."
"We have our most difficult game in four days, Leeds United at Elland Road. We are aware of how hard it is to play there but this is a big occasion for us playing in front of thirty thousand or so people. We want to thrive under that."

Big games coming thick and fast. Danny Rowe has been dog turd all season. Bottler. Get rid.

Not good enough at this level. He'd do well to drop back down to non-league. I hope we won't be joining him down there. I'm worried about the Coaster's position now and wouldn't be surprised if Ferguson go the chop and we got in a more progressive manager who is suited to this level like Tony Pullis or Sam Allardyce or Davy Moyes.

Sort it out Dunc ffs. I have two little kids and I’ve just been round the club shop to buy them Fylde shirts and shorts and sweatshirts and jackets and polos and onesies and pajamas and beanies and hats and socks and shoes and sunglasses and teddy bears and mini soccer balls and calendars and blankets and pillowcases and posters and sippy cups and plates and utensils and magnets and pencils and coloring books and bath towels and clocks and autograph books and the Fylde FC Guess Who game. How will I ever be able to explain it to them if they go back down?
I got the his and her dressing gowns with my bath towels.
The missus has never looked fitter with it hiding her face phwoar
Up the Coasters!

You got the Fylde Burkhas from the club shop also? Have to say I’m pleased with mine. Wear it nearly every day. Get some funny looks down the social but I’m nice and toasty inside

LEEDS UNITED PROGRESS TO THE QUARTER FINALS
Despite the dominance from Leeds, Fylde restricted them to just the one goal and defended superbly throughout. Fylde turned in a good display and almost found an equaliser towards the end through Oliver Sarkic who came on as a second half substitute. Ellis Simms had a show that narrowly went wide. Ferguson praised his side's professionalism and warned that this is the standard going forward. Fylde have big important games coming up and league survival is the priority.
Next up is Eastleigh in the F.A. Cup First Round

I did not invest in this to watch a relegation battle. Our mascot Syd the Effin seagull could probably do a better that the wannabe faux hard man we currently have in charge. ‘Ooooh look at me strangle Steffen Freund. Watch out Paul ince I’m going to push you!’ I see through you Dunc. You’re just a Scottish Peter Crouch. Get out our club.

Remember that look on Jimmy Bullard's face when Fergs went mental? If he saw him now, he'd probably make a cutise face like he saw a purty lil' kitty cat playing with a ball of wool.
Big Dunc? Big Softy. This is men's football now Duncan, not for big softies like you. The Coasters are turning into the laughing stock of FL2.
Boooo!
