Ian Holloway goes on EPIC rant after recent results! 🗯️
"Ian Holloway goes on EPIC rant after recent results!" is exactly that: the Swindon Town manager letting rip about his side's form, in footage Sky Sports Football credits to Swindon's own channel. It went past 100,000 views in three days, the most of anything the channel posted, and the comment section reads like ringside commentary. Viewers keep comparing the ending to an old WWF promo, one pins a timestamp with a theory about whose arm is in shot, and several break into the Undertaker-style "Dead Man Walking" chant.
Holloway has been a reliable source of this sort of thing since his Blackpool days, when he took the Seasiders to the Premier League in 2010 and became one of the most quotable men in English football. A few viewers point out, fairly, that this is simply what he is like in every interview.
The other managerial story of the week went to a newer face in the dugout: Robbie Savage's first press conference as Peterborough manager, sat beside Barry Fry, the club's long-serving director of football.
The Saturday highlights did their usual job, with Burton 1-3 Huddersfield the quickest of them, carried by a Finn Delap strike and a goalkeeping error. Chesterfield's four goals in ten minutes against Tranmere and a Bobby Kamwa goal from inside his own half for Bristol Rovers at Crewe followed behind.
The channel ran a little below its usual pace and added about 1,000 subscribers. Among football channels of its size it sat mid-table for views gained, while GOAL's Front Three and Fooftly had the big weeks.
