Holloway takes painful blow

26 January 2011 09:30
Ian Holloway emerged from the maelstrom of Blackpool's shattering defeat to Manchester United complaining it felt like he had been kicked right where it hurts. The Seasiders appeared to be on the brink of one of the greatest nights in their history when they led the Premier League leaders 2-0 at the break. But the second-half introductions of Ryan Giggs and Javier Hernandez turned the game on its head and with Dimitar Berbatov scoring twice in a frenetic finish, United emerged 3-2 victors to stride five points clear at the top of the table. "We are absolutely gutted," he said. "We are devastated to lose. "Tomorrow I will wake up and feel like I have been kicked in a very delicate place. "I will have a horrible ache for a while and then it will be gone."
