I hate the South East. I mean, I *really hate it. From the moment one of the infamous Reading FC stewards yelled “Oi! No cameras allowed!” while I was taking pictures (through the stupid extra netting they put up at the MadStad) of the flipping warm-up, you could sense that the afternoon was [...]

Reading v Argyle - preview
By: Jim | No Comments
For reasons too complicated to go into here, I have failed to provide a full preview for tomorrow’s game at the Madjeski. Argyle’s creditable performance at home to Wolves on Saturday has been - at least in part- undone by their capitulation at the Kennel. It will be very interesting to see how [...]

By: Jim | 1 Comment
Seven years ago, Luton came down to Home Park for a game that, some would say, was the catalyst for all the success the club has enjoyed in that period. Luton were expecting to take the division by storm and had set a cracking pace: Argyle had recovered after a shaky start and were [...]

A rumbustious, hammer-and-tongs, old-fashioned cracker of a match, with no quarter asked or given ended, probably on balance fairly, with a point apiece. If the conditions - blowing a gale and raining (as my daughter said) cats and dogs and pigs - weren’t ideal, then they in no way detracted from the commitment and [...]

The sense of excitement is palpable. Euro 08 is long past: even the doom and gloom of a less than ideal preseason pales on the doorstep of a new season and a new challenge. A new team, too: our starting line-up tomorrow will resemble the one of 12 months ago very little; and, [...]

Simon Walton signed for Argyle today from QPR for an undisclosed fee, thought to be in the region of £450K, rising to £750K with add-ons. Although still only 20 years old he has already played for Leeds, Charlton, Ipswich, Cardiff and Hull as well as Rangers and is recently recovered from a badly broken [...]

By: Jim | No Comments
I can put my hand on my heart and say, with all truthfulness, that I have never booed an Argyle player, or an Argyle team either during a match or at the end of a game. I don’t dispute the right of the paying customer to vent their feelings - and, let’s be honest, [...]

Sorry its been a while. Hope you missed me.
I’ve done a club-by-club Championship Preview for those good people over at Greens On Screen: you can find it here. But for you folks at theoffside, well, you deserve something a little more measured, something a little more detailed, damn it, just something more. [...]

Not the Fleetwood Mac album of blessed memory, but a round-up of where Argyle’s summer spending (and selling) spree has got to.
First the facts. No-one has been bought or sold. Paul Connolly will move to Derby on a Bosman transfer on July 1. Marcel Seip remains on the transfer list. The [...]

You probably know by now that Argyle goalkeeper Luke McCormick has been charged on four counts relating to the tragic deaths yesterday morning of two boys aged 10 and 8 in a road accident near Keele Services on the M6.
There are no words capable of comprehending, let alone consoling, the terrible grief that the boys’ [...]
