Blackpool play nicer football than Bolton in my opinion, doesn't mean they're better.

I know, but IMO Plymouth are the better team of the two, it's only my opinion though.

Yes, we are in the relegation zone for a reason.

So please, before questioning us and calling us a 'dreadful' side, look at the facts. [106 Years its took for you to be in a league above us, remember that before you get all big time Charlie]

I was basing my opinion on the 2 games ive seen against your team this season(away in JPT and home last week) not sure how you have played in other games but i wouldnt say any of your players looked good in those games. likewise with wednesday when we beat them 5-1...
if you think your players were good enough to stay up then you shouldnt have any problem next season but dont think it will be easy for you. any good players will need to be sold and you will be looking for free transfers, season ticket holders will drop and is reid good enough? good luck anyway. would be good to have all 3 devon teams playing in league 1

You try and use Cureton's pace and that failed today, he is to old and i can see him retiring soon. You were poor and it would of been at least 5 or 6 - 2 to us if it wasn't for your keeper. We got cheated out of the game by the **** of a referee and Plymouth played better football at our place than you by a country mile, and about Plymouth been rubbish, who was in the Championship last year ? There only in relegation because of debt not because they are rubbish, they are a very very decent side and i expect to see them bounce straight back up into League One. And i meant based on the football you and Plymouth played v us, you should be the team in Plymouth's current position.

Next season we will be back with some good signings and it may well be us who go up and hopefully your ******* players who start on players from a team with 2 or 3 assault convicts in it will learn how to play football at one point as i couldn't see any decent football from you lot today.,

But my point is that lumping it over the top failed today and the first goal shouldn't of been counted .

well im sure cureton will be going for at least another season after this year but can imagine a bigger club will offer him a contract and as his will be expired in summer and we wont be able to offer big wages.

that goalkeeper hasnt played much this season and hasnt looked very good in games ive seen him so nice to know he had a good game as hes our only goalkeeper left if jones joins peterbough. and thats football, referees wont always get it right and refs at this level arent the best but it normally evens out over the season. not sure it will be easy for either you or plymouth to go straight up. plymouth obviously still have financial problems so need to sell and i expect most of your fans were saying the same before this year. obviously your a big club so im sure its only a matter of time before your back in championship but as leeds know doesnt mean you will go up. anyway good luck

Danny Baker tweeted that Boro win the phantom league team of the year lol, we finished BANG middle table 12th with a GD of 0...Oh my, football we were playing near the end was sensational carry that on pre season and we will storm next years league!

Park, Smallwood, Ripley, Williams, Pilatos, Reach all awesome prospects for next year especially Park with Dalglish trying to nick him in January but he signed a 5 year deal with us!

Steele+Williams+Halliday+Bates all coming of age as well Boro will be pretty good next season Championship BEWARE!

P.S I hope to god we ditch Franks Boyd Tavares possibly Mcmahon too, hearing murmurs that Mowbrays lining up a 1.5 mill bid for Gerardo Bruna and trying to get Miguel on loan from Arsenal

 

[Dunc]

and plymouth a good side? your having a laugh lol they are in relegation for a reason and ive seen them twice this season and were dreadfull in both games and im not being bias.

Yes, we were relegated because we had 10 points deducted for going into administration. If that hadn't have happened, we would have not been relegated. There have been plenty of games this season where we should have won and only got a point or lost.

At the end of the day, your fans are ****, your ground is ****, and you won't be in a league above us for much longer.

 

[SFC2010]

THE SAINTS ARE GOING UP!

So happy. Went on the pitch invasion at the end to see the players left the runners-up trophy. Atmosphere was outstanding, and to get 32,000 fans in League 1 must account for something?

Very, very happy. Bring on the Championship next season, and most of all, BRING ON THE SKATES!

YEAH
Great atmosphere today ands a performance to match. Great goal by Chamberlain and another good performance by the team.
I got only a few rows away from them when they where lifting the trophy and then managed to get "behind the scenes" cause the steward told me and my dad to climb over the railing cause it would be quicker. Met Chamberlain again (and got a high five)
Now for tommorow with the legends match.

true but you also need to remember that you were deducted points for paying players you couldnt afford -even if they didnt help much

There have been plenty of games this season where we should have won and only got a point or lost.

well that happens to us too and probably every other team in the league - thats football

At the end of the day, your fans are ****, your ground is ****, and you won't be in a league above us for much longer.

our fans ****? made more noise than you at both games this season...
our ground ****? True
not in a league above you for much longer? we'll see, times have changed -we have a very good squad, good manager and are well run. could be a few seasons at least before you will get into league 1 again

That's what we thought, after our first season in the Championship. Now look where we are. Things happen, teams sell players, fortunes change. While I imagine it will take us more than one go to climb out of League 2, there are plenty of teams that have had a good/great season after they have been promoted, only for them to collapse in the second season after the spark fizzles out.

 

[Giggles]

Sorry Luke, but until Exeter consistently reproduce finishing in the top of the half of L1, and prove to us that they can cope without Harley/Cureton and Tisdale, thats when you start blowing your trumpet about being the best in Devon- You may above us, but thats took you 106 years, and many will say until proven wrong, thats because of Harley & Tisdale.

I wish you the best of luck in League One, but not too much luck.

 

[Sid]

Exeter have Jamie Cureton <)<)<)<)<)<)

He was ****.


And people should stop bashing Exeter, it's a nice place, near my Granny's house before she died which is why I like them.

Well, my dog died in Exeter, so I think it's a **** hole.

My Granny died in exeter.

Or at least near it.

Don't know if that counts though as she died in her house...

Don't think it really needs to have any verification if it counts.

If it makes it so you have an emotional attachment to somewhere, then fair play.

Well i dont think we will have a problem coping when our big players move on as it's happened lots over last few years but we've coped fine and moved on.(mackie, moxey, friend, gill etc) If tisdale goes we may have a problem and it will happen in future but he will want to stay untill he's taken us as far as he can.We haven't had a very successful history and as you say always been Devons 2nd team but it's all about future shame our attendences have had a drop this year despite being our best team for a while. Probably due to Exeter chiefs getting into premiership and not being in relegation battle so don't think we will be able to match your attendences any time soon

Your attendances have dropped? Jesus christ, you better be worried if you drop into League 2 again...

Meh, Argyle are the one's that made him..

It's pretty weird because he was never too great at his other clubs - no doubt a fan favourite for his attitude and work rate but he has had possibly the best season of his career (mind the leg break) at us.

I'm not complaining

He was awesome at Reading and showed some flashes of goodness at us but overall hew was pretty **** in his season with us.

What? He was Argyles best player for two years lol. He was awesome.

 

[Sid]

Yeah, he was Argyle's best player probably but he didn't have an amazing scoring record for a striker and like I said, he was probably seen as awesome for the fans at every club he played at due to his awesome work rate
