That was really important to us.<\/span><\/p>\n“Blow me down with this fairytale we’re all on, this story that has been unfolding for the last two years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nThe manager believes that Blackpool will need to take all three points from their encounter at Old Trafford but insists he is confident his players can get a result against the Premier League Champions.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWe’ve got to go to Manchester United and probably get a win, and that might not even be enough,” he told BBC Sport<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n“I believe it will be, though, because Wolves are at home to Blackburn. I’ve had some strange things happen in my life and maybe the main man up there has written a story that would probably beat Cinderella.<\/span><\/p>\n“And I believe we can do it, whoever they put out. I want to spoil their party.”<\/span><\/p>\nHolloway also praised his side’s resilience after going behind in the game early on and remains confident they have the ability to be in the Premier League net season.<\/span><\/p>\n“It was quite breathtaking. That really does sum up our season,” he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n“We started so brilliantly, the crowd were with us, Bolton passed it and moved it and then got a goal, probably against the run of play, and we’re one down.<\/span><\/p>\n“But the fans were terrific, the lads kept going; that’s what we looked like last year and we’ve managed to look like that this year in the top level in the world.”<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
