1) We got a point last night despite being battered (and missing a penalty). 0-0 at Ipswich is not to be sneezed at.
2) Norris hasn’t gone yet.
3) Trotman had a shocking disciplinary record anyway.
4) Errrrrr
5) That’s it.

Portman Road is not a happy hunting ground for the Pilgrims. The last three seasons alone have seen us beaten and concede three goals into the bargain – 2005 after going two up and Ipswich having Fabian Wilnis sent off. Last season, it was Mat Doumbe’s turn to receive his marching orders – [...]

I make it a rule never to write a match report for a game I wasn’t at in the flesh. You’ll find a comprehensive one at the official site.
Instead, here’s Sparksy’s view. Oh, and the goals.

My grandmother has a lot to answer for. Getting my old man born so close to FA Cup Round 4 day was always going to present problems for his family, and so it has proved. Due, therefore, to my being obliged to host my dad’s 60th birthday celebrations, I shall not be where [...]

A perfect day – apart from the score.
Argyle’s organisation and PR has in the past come under heavy criticism – not least from me – about the way in which they fail to make the most of their fanbase and generally give the impression of a Conference set-up at a Championship club. [...]

When I can’t get to away games, the Saturday afternoon ritual finds me with the laptop tuned to sporting-life.com (for the videprinter scores) and the radio to Radio Devon, for Argyle commentary with local lunatic Gordon Sparks. Sparksy doesn’t pretend to be impartial: he’s Green through and through, as the clip from last season’s [...]

If ever Argyle needed a win it’s tomorrow. Still shell-shocked after the defection of Ebanks-Blake to Wolves, still haunted by the spectre of play-off rivals circling around our remaining best players and still to gain a single League point in 2008, Argyle need desperately to put their last two desperate away showings (at Cardiff [...]

After a somewhat protracted (and well-trawled) set of negotiations, Argyle completed their second (and second-ever) £1million plus sale this week with the move of England U18 midfield star Dan Gosling to Everton. In their official statements, both Pauls (Sturrock and Stapleton) indicated their unwillingness to stand in Gossie’s way, and sent him off with [...]

I apologise. The temptation to reference Rudyard Kipling’s sententious and overblown paean to the Imperial stiff upper lip is currently just too strong. And it is, undeniably, the case that, if Paul Sturrock can keep his head while all about him are losing theirs, our season might, might just not be over. [...]
