Argyle 3 Burnley 1
By: Jim | No Comments
Four wins in a row. Two goals conceded in six games. Fifth in the table. Barely-controlled hysteria among the Green Army. Surely this crazy dream, this unhinged fantasy that Argyle can get promotion with a squad of who-are-yas, CCC journeymen and Scotch chancers isn’t on, is it?
If you were [...]

For some pathetic reason, I can’t upload podcasts here. But if you drift over to footballidealist.wordpress.com, you’ll find what I think is the first ever Argyle Podcast, including reaction from the Saints game and a look forward to Burnley.

Having had no game on Saturday, due to Saints FA Cup involvement, Argyle get the chance to move up to seventh with tonight’s game at St Mary’s. It should be an intriguing clash: Luggy is fearful of a Saints backlash after their humiliating Cup exit at the hands of Bristol Rovers on Saturday, and [...]

Argyle put together back-to-back wins for only the third time this season with an ultimately comfortable success against a Barnsley side who struggled manfully with the handicap of having to play virtually the entire match a player short. With less than four minutes on the clock, Jermaine Easter latched on to a sublime MacLean [...]

“Ian Holloway, Gary Lineker, Martin Johnson……your boys took a helluva beating!” (Gordon Sparks)

To be perfectly honest, it’ll be a relief to have got it over with. The aftermath of Olliegate rumbles on, with Argyle fans unwilling and unable to move on. This, at least, is not a surprise: ask George Reilly, scorer of the goal that beat Argyle in the 84 Cup Final, how long [...]

The normally taciturn Argyle chairman, Paul Stapleton has released an astonishing six-part statement, four days before the first meeting between Argyle and Leicester City since Ian Holloway’s high-profile departure for the Walker’s. In it, Stapleton accuses Holloway of deliberating selling players the Board wanted to keep, or at the very least sowing the seeds [...]

A thoroughly miserable end to a thoroughly miserable week. Argyle looked bereft of confidence, ideas, and stomach for the fight as they surrendered tamely to a Hull side who frankly did not look much better. This was as limp a performance as I’ve seen from the Greens since the bad old days of [...]

The transfer window has slammed shut. And it is hard, at twelve hours remove, to see how it could have been worse for us, at least in terms of our play-off aspirations. The Board – bless em – were ultimately unable to resist the pressure from Ipswich and from Norris and Chuck was [...]
