I wish I hadn't looked tbh, its much easier to forget we are playing and not have my day ruined by this shite,

I blame the ill-discipline on the TV adverts about Christmas. 3 players walking in 3 games. Perhaps they think its Christmas so a subtle suspension means they can get pithed on Christmas Day. Didn't we have a player few years back who had a record for getting sent off near Christmas. Webb Purse

Having only see a few highlights so far this season its hard for me to guage how crap we actually are. Having a player a game getting sent off makes it even harder. So to anyone who actually went, how crap are we?

I actually don't think we are as crap as our results indicate. Last night was painful and Bradley could and should have had at least one more goal before he did eventually score. But we can't keep relying on centre backs for goals. The Turk was charging around gamely but never really posed a threat, but for me the most alarming fact is that Adams puts Blissett in the 11 over Jervis. Bonkers decision. Play Jervis up top ffs if all we have in reserve is Blissett. Miller is a calamity waiting to happen every time he takes to the pitch.

The only plus point is this League generally doesn't seem to be much of a higher standard than last year.

Maybe the players are concerned about the split in the boardroom and are worried about the future direction of the club.

FFS!

Well thank the Lord there is a Dentist planned for HHP2 coz watching this crap is like pulling teeth.

We know where the problem lies, no competitive budget for Adams. A mate of mine has a mate who was chatting to Adams awhile aback and Adams said he has not got the cash to bring in the players he wants. That is what frustrates him the most. I would put money on Adams resigning somewhere along this season should things remain as they are and who would knock him for that. The dirt he could dish out would be priceless and essential reading.

Hopefully though, when all those players who are currently out of action do return, form may improve, it is going to have to !.

A personal message to Brent and super fan Hallett (sic). Support Derek or feck off and never return. You are both taking the piss.

I am totally fed up with this prolonged austerity that is going on at the club. Other sides will now relish playing Argyle, as it is an easy three points to be gained.

One good bit of news is that my first game of the season will be away to Bristol Rovers, whatever the score will be (probably a defeat), at least it will be a good day out in the capital of the West Country. Change of scenery and all that

Three games, three reds, do clubs get in trouble/fined for indiscipline like that?

surely thats not going to be part of things?

feckin hell why brent why

Can't really give a angle to this poor start as Gas away will be my first viewing - however Brent had better address the results pronto as the 8 to 10k will fizzle and impact at an alarming rate. Reading between the lines there's plenty not right in the dressing room now coupled with the lunacy upstairs we look dodgy as a club

Club has been a complete basket case for the past 10 years. Brent is just the latest (and worst) in a succession of dog shit owners.  There's simply no light at the end of the tunnel for Argo fans.  If anything good comes out of relegation  this season let's hope it's the fans finally turning on brent and his useless 'board' of shite big time and driving the lot of 'em out.

You are not wrong there.

The sooner the club can get someone in with some spare cash to spend on Argyle and not worry about it, the better. A tall order to ask I know. OK, there is super fan Hallett and his investment, albeit on the property side of Home Park.

I am still struggling about super fan Hallett, he who suddenly turned up out of nowhere, gets his feet under the table and then throws a few million into the refurbishment of The Mayflower Grandstand (which now looks like not seeing completion for sometime to come, due to new wrangling).

During the dark days of administration, where was "wads of cash" super fan Hallett then ?.

Has he contributed any of his own money toward the budget Adams has this term. If he is the super fan they say he is, then he would know that League One is much better than League Two and all effort needs to be made to remain in the division.

the fine community gentleman expects 'something back' when he throws his money in, good hard interest, out of the pockets of Green tinted Janner fans and into his pockets...

Like it or not we need the development at HHP.If Brent doesn't get it done, which would be no shock to anybody that knows him, then he will sell to someone who has the money to do it. Someone with real cash would have PCC eating out of their hand and probably steamroller much more shite into the park.
The best solution is to have Brent submit an amended plan which leaves the car park which he asset stripped from the club as an asset of PAFC and not Brent. Once this happens we can get back to being a football club which as Freathy points out it hasn't been for the past ten years.
The real nightmare scenario and unforch the most likely is that he can't get enough external funding to build any of it and fecks off. Of course with the five and a half million from the sale of the Pavillions and the two million already recieved to provide continuous ice he has a lot of reasons for this to all go ahead.

Probs right but maybe someone with real wedge and ambition wouldn't need or want aload of 3rd rate shit at HHP and instead decided to build us a magnificent 3 tiered stand with world class facilities in and behind......wake up Les, time for your medication.

HHP has been a curse to the club ever since Todd, Synan, Gardner and Kagami rocked up, they could all smell a bit of green and I don't mean the good stuff.

When Stapleton and Co bought the cricket club wasn't it with the view of using it to develop a proper training ground for Argyle? Didn't they also look at buying the civil service sports club as a possible training venue as well?

What is Brent's plan to improve training facilities?

Something IJN has spun a couple of times on PASOTI is that the club were were offered the cricket ground but the three directors decided they wanted if for themselves. I don't recall him being as critical of them at the time but that was then and this is now.

If the club had been able to develop the cricket ground as well as HHP for their own benefit we might have become a 21st century football club.

But we do have a lovely new fence.

Sorry to be a bit mundane, possibly even Avivaish, but does anyone know the name of the goal/pre match piece of music being played this season? It used to be played at Palace when I watched them many moons ago and it's driving me fecking mad trying to think what it was called.

Goal music? Won't hear that much this season.

Was going to make a witty comment along similar lines but it would have spoilt my Aviva street cred.

ABBA's money money money?
