Footballing Dilemma

Ummm. I have a bit of a dilemma today. It's the FA cup semi-finals and Watford are playing Man United. Now, as you will know, if you've read past blogs, Watford beat Plymouth Argyle in the last round so who do I support in today's game?

If Watford win and then go on to triumph in the final, at least I could say 'We got beat by the best team'. But as we were the better players on the day when we met with Watford it could be a very bitter blow if Watford do go on to pick the cup up. I think I'll have a vodka and see if I can decide then.

As I write Plymouth are 1-0 up against Luton, oh they just scored again, 2-0 now. It's too late for us to get into the play offs but Southampton have a good chance if they recapture the form they found against Wolves when they put 6 past Matt Murray and conceded none! Unfortunately they are 1-0 down to Birmingham as I write and 5 points off the top 6. Maybe the half time talk from manager George Burley will put a bit more spring into their step and the ball into the back of Birmingham's net.

Angry? You Bet He's Angry

Well it seems like the lads at Plymouth Argyle had a right telling off last night after their 4 - 2 defeat by Barnsley. I knew Ian Holloway wouldn't be very pleased but I think this is the most angry post match report I have seen from him. I'll let you judge for yourself.

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH

Wembley Ready For Football

It looks like Wembley will be ready for Plymouth Argyle when they play in the final of the FA cup in May. This Sunday Watford will visit Home Park where Argyle will be the victors in a close game between the two sides. I will feel a bit sorry for the Watford fans after having to travel down for the 6pm kick off but I'm sure the feeling won't last long.

After Watford, Plymouth will be conqueroring one of the so called 'mightier sides' such as Chelsea or Man U, or some other premiership side, leaving Argyle a clear path all the way to the new stadium.

Then we march on to Wembley for the final. I can't wait!

(My mum always did say I was a bit of a dreamer)

Apologies Needed?

This time last month Plymouth Argyle were 7th in the Championship League now they have dropped to 11th. Southampton, on the other hand, were 10th and have moved up to an impressive 5th place. After just watching highlights of the Southampton/Hull game on TV I've come to the conclusion that they are playing a lot better than Plymouth and their placing is deserved.
On saying that, this is just a sticky patch Argyle are going through, after all you can't be good all of the time, and I'm convinced they will be back up nearer the top before too long, they could even get to the playoffs if they can recapture the form they were showing at the beginning of the season.
I was going to apologise to Southampton supporters for my last post, but I think that would be a bit too premature, so I'll save that for another day, not that I think I will need to.
