You are our bogey team and all good things must come to an end and I have a feeling it may happen next week. No matter how well we are playing I will always find some pessimsm somewhere.

Another good win for us today though despite Bury being the dirtiest team I have seen for a long time. Efe Sodje swinging elbows around every time he leaped for a header. Also the ref didn't seem to be playing for handballs. The only way he would have given one was if someone had caught it took all the air out and pumped it back in again.

He got booked against us and by all accounts was very lucky not to be sent off. The only of the four Sodje brothers not to have played for us at some point, he is obviously bitter about it

I have a feeling we could be in for a tough game against Sheff Wed tomorrow. Im confident, but at the same time just have a bad feeling. I couldn't stand the smug look on Smegson's face if they win. And the worst thing is it's on TV, and we have to be just about the worst team out there when it comes to our record in front of the cameras.

Things are looking good atm for Dan Seaborne. Being released from intensive care today but being kept in for a couple more days. Hopefully a quick recovery is on the cards!
Exeter have come out and wished Dan good luck and a swift recovery etc. but saints haven't! Slightly weird that.

Full respect to Brighton fans, who later this month are doing a "Wear green for Plymouth" day, during their Sky match against Leeds. Its great to see football fans in a better position than us, creating some national media exposure, and grouping together. Just superb from Brighton fans, and if the mess down here is ever sorted, I would love to take part in something similar if any other teams get into financial difficulties.

Also, best wishes to Dan Seabourne :wub:

I think every "real" football fan is rooting for Plymouth to get out of the mess they are in and get back were they deserve. Hopefully other clubs could try (hopefully southampton) to do something similar with the "Wear green for Plymouth" idea. I don't know anyone who could honestly say that any football club deserves to have whats going on.
I'm pretty dissapointed with newspapers/sports tv coverage of the precarious position of Plymouth! When Pompey were in the **** every newspaper and news programme had something about them but I have seen so little in national news/newspapers.

Honestly, the support from other clubs we have recieved, has truly blown me and the other fans away.

Peter Reid was on 5-Live earlier this evening, to sum it up-

PR has tried to sign between 10 -25 strikers over last few weeks (money and location are main issues)
PR was very keen to get Fowler down to Argyle
Stated he is not a quiter and this has become a challenge he does not want to walk away from

Christ, 25. Thats a lot. The most encouraging out of all that is the last sentence, time for all our fans to show the same loyalty to Peter Reid, that he's shown to us. Fantastic manager, arguably the hardest job in England. I want him here in 10 years time.

Also, administrator Brendan Guilfoyle is on with Keys & Gravy show on Talkport Tomorrow, he'll be on with an Argyle fans trust member- Should be an interesting 'debate'!

Unless Gravy has replaced Andy Gray as Keys Co-Host i suspect a typo

I think we have mugged Accrington right off . The Jimmy Ryan transfer went to tribunal and was set at

> £55,000 immediately
> £27,500 - October 1, 2011
> £27,500 - January 1, 2012
> £15,000 after 15, 30, 45 and 60 appearances.
> £25,000 if the SUFC are promoted to the Championship in 2011-12 or 2012-13.
> 20% sell-on any fee received over and above that already paid to Accrington

Why do we always choke on tv?! Yesterday was one of the most boring games i've ever seen on tv, and easily our worst performance of this season, we still should have won though.

Rumours, I repeat just rumours, that strikers Rory Fallon and Leon Clarke were spotted at Home Park. Fallon had a spell from 2007 to last June with the club, and Leon Clarke had a short loan spell back in 2006. If this was true, imo they would be massive players and help us fight relegation. However, it all seems to good to be true...

Would be good for Fallon to join but hasn't Clarke just signed for Swindon ? Hope Plymouth pull through btw.

Thanks matey. Clarke had just joined for Swindon, but had a bust-up on the pitch with manager Paulo Di-Canio and is now on the loan list. So would make sense, but surely wages would be an issue; Would Swindon pay 100% pay of the wages, while he was away from the club? Seems unlikely.

lol leon clarke lol

He was decent in the Championship, think he would do really well in league 2

Appears the Clarke/Fallon Rumour [as I expected] was a dud.

And according to Kevin Heaney [****] the deal is waiting on the Football League to decide, apparently tomorrow, if they are happy for everything to go through. Then again, how many times have we heard a vague statement like that?

 

[Badders006]

Our local rag is reporting that Clarke is off to chesterfield. Good riddance I say! Another pampered over-paid footballer who threw his toys out of the pram because he couldnt handle Paolo's training! Complete w*nker. Knowing town's luck tho he'll go and score 20 goals in L1

thought fallon was awful?? always gives away free kicks and dosen't score often enough...

 

[Jak]

Mikael Forssell signed for us on a free, gave him a 1 year contract. should hopefully get some goals in the Championship

Well, when you're bottom of the Football League, scored 3 league goals all season and have 2 natural strikers and then someone with World Cup Expierence walks along.... Its not really something we can say no too! Sadly, beggars can't be choosers, and anyone with such expierence wishing to play for free, should be welcomed. Although, the rumour was false and it won't be happening.
