Following last Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, Argyle skipper Carl Fletcher has launched an astonishing attack on Argyle’s board, claiming the decision to allow Marcel Seip to play for Blackpool against Argyle, his parent club, made the club seem “Mickey Mouse” You can read the story in more detail here : suffice to [...]

Following this afternoon’s abject display in front of the Sky cameras and (at least on paper) our biggest gate for five years, I very sadly, and with a degree of reluctance add my voice to those who feel a change in manager is essential at our club if we are to have a snowball’s chance [...]

Went with a few Rangers -supporting mates to check out Saturday’s opposition. I could be mean about the corrugated iron roofed stand, the open terrace, the dysentery-threatening loos and the tea shack, but in all honesty it was a thoroughly enjoyable “old-school” experience, spoiled only by the grief I as getting from my mates as [...]

Here we are again – back on the roller-coaster that is PAFC and their League form. There’s a sense that, in the intervening three months since the Barnsley defeat everything has changed: a new Board, a new formation (though we probably shan’t see that tomorrow) and a new team spirit and optimism about the [...]

Well, here we are again. As I write there are five days to go before the big kick-off (and six weeks till the transfer deadline, which means that as soon as I press “publish” these predictions are out of date). What follows are my own, highly partisan, highly flawed and partially-informed views [...]

Hello, hello, I’m back, I’m back, as a matter of fact I’m back. Dodgy provenance but the right sentiment. And (closes eyes, crosses fingers and touches wood) that might just apply to PAFC as well. In the wake of last season’s survival (more a stumble over the line than a Houdini act), some significant [...]

A first home win since Boxing Day was greeted by the Home Park faithful with roars of delight and no little relief. Like Saturday, the results of the teams around us meant that the three points were vital just to stay out of the drop zone: and the beating of a team with relegation [...]

Well well well. A long-overdue and unexpected triumph at Molineux (and necessary, given the fact that no few than FIVE of the bottom seven won on Saturday) has lifted the atmosphere around Home Park and injected just a little more belief into the beleaguered Pilgrims. Saturday’s performance was, so they say, solid and [...]

The vultures are circling. Sky expected Sturrock to be sacked last night, following another home defeat, this time to Neil Warnock’s Palace. And sure, one win in 15 is sackable form. Maybe he will go. Maybe he will be given Saturday’s game at home to Sheffield Utd to try to pull [...]

Following two creditable away points, at Ipswich and PNE, expectation levels have risen to, oh at least cautious optimism. Described – as so many of our games now are – as a ‘must win’, tomorrow’s clash at Home Park with the Rams will undoubtedly have a nervous edge to it. Derby are, perhaps [...]
