Good Luck Bristol City

Seems a long time to wait untill I can watch Plymouth playing footy again so I have to be content with watching other teams.

Tomorrow we have Man U and Chelsea and then on Saturday we have Hull and Bristol City.

Plymouth have beaten both Hull and Bristol in the last season so I can't help wonder why we're not there, playing at Wembley.

The last day of the Championship games was quite a thriller and I expect the next season will be no different.

As I live in Bristol and must admit to going to watch city on more than one occaions, I'll be with friends in London watching the match in a pub near Wembley. I won't be wearing a red shirt but I'll be singing along with them and cheering if they score.

Good Luck to all my Bristol City friends. Just think, if you win you won't have to worry about being beaten by Plymouth Argyle for at least one season!

10 Men and The Ref? Argyle v Charlton

There's no way we can lose this now, was my thoughts as I saw the Charlton goal keeper handle the ball outside the area only 3 minutes after kick off. How wrong was I?

I felt for the Charlton fans, knowing how I would have been feeling if it was our keeper that had been sent off, but my feelings of excitement at a possible 3 or even 4 goals soon took over.

Although we had most of the play in the first half the teams went in without scoring.

Charlton decided the way forward for them was to waste time and at every opportunity this is what they did. When the fourth official's board only said 4 added minutes I couldn't believe it. Obviously he had been napping for most of the half.

Easter was the first to break the dead lock between the teams with a goal for Argyle in the 60th minute. Outwardly I was ecstatic but inwardly I was worried. Plymouth have this horrible habit of falling asleep just after they score and my worries were justified as Charlton got hold of the ball and put it past our keeper, who had gone out to collect the ball but had missed it, just 5 minutes later.

Charlton were now looking the better team and with just 10 men (and the ref the crowd sung) they scored again in the 76th minute all due to a mistake by our keeper who let the ball slip out of his hands for Lita to tap in into the back of the net.

All in all a disappointing game and one we should have won and in fact needed to win if we were going to be in any hope of reaching the play-offs.

Plymouth's next game isn't until the 14th when we play Sheffield Wednesday. Let's hope we can do better then as the whole nation will be able to watch the game live on Sky.

Thank You Blackpool

We're up in 5th place at the end of the game today thanks to Blackpool who scored 5 past Charlton.

Table as it stands at half time:

Fingers crossed we'll still be in a play-off position at the end of the day.

On the up

Plymouth Argyle have had a good run over the last few games with amongst them a 1-0 win over Leicester and 2-0 over Southampton.

We are now 7th in the Championship with Burnley and Hull, who both have a game in hand, able to over take us before our next match and that will be only if they both win.

We have the 2nd best defence in the Championship, only letting in 32 goals this season and the best defended team has only one less than us.

We are only 10 points off top place and only 2 points off the play-offs.

COME ON THE GREENS
