This time next week up in the smoke, the family will be tucking into a three course meal with the wife drinking the wine. I may go over board and have a shandy. The wig and flag ready for action.

I went for a meal with the wife tonight and she was drinking wine, she leant over the table and whispered "I love you" I said is that the wine talking, she said "I was talking to the wine."

One week to go and the nerves have switched to to over-time mode.

I was the same in 1996. I just hope the same outcome is acheived in 2016, as it was back in 1996.

I think it will be a close game, both sides should be ''well up for it'' and i predict a 2-1 win to Argyle, which will right the wrong of missing out on automatic promotion.

Just been reading a thread or two over the road there, some posters are warning Argyle fans to be a tad careful of the Millwall fans on the Sunday. Good-sound advice, considering what happened down at HP in the JPT.

Didn't realise my wife was getting romantic the other night, she gazed into my eyes and asked if I could still make her scream with 2 fingers, so I poked her in the eye with both of them.

My mate took his Mrs to the doctor as he thought she had Tourettes. Doc talked to her then said to my mate ''Nah - she ain't got Tourettes - she really does think you're a complete w....r and wishes you would just f... off.

Before I forget its my birthday on Monday 30th. I'll be wearing the green scarf and at times have a talking tiger face on. I take cash and cheques but not cards at present. I hope its a super birthday.

Quotes from football league paper

The L2 play-off final is set to be a big 'un - 50,000+ expected to be in attendance for Wimbledon v Plymouth

It's set to be the biggest attendance at a L2 play-off final since 53,706 watched Gillingham v Shrewsbury in 2009

Fun fact: 50,000 is also the same amount of weight in kg that @daRealAkinfenwa can bench press...we assume

The Wembley announcer

Argyle's regular match announcer Andy Ballantyne will be making his Wembley debut in Monday’s Sky Bet League 2 Play-Off Final.

The life-long Pilgrims’ fan will update the club's fans on any late news for the promotion-or-bust encounter with AFC Wimbledon, go through the Argyle team line-up, and offer some final words of encouragement for Derek Adams’ men.

The six-minute segment is a way of building the atmosphere ahead of kick-off for Argyle’s big day out and hopefully the familiar local link with the Pilgrims will get the Green Army and Wembley Stadium rocking.

The Heart South West news presenter admitted he was nervous to be appearing in front of more than 50,000 fans, nearly 35,000 of who will be supporting the Pilgrims. He said: “This has to be the highlight of my career. From standing on the terraces and even watching Argyle get promoted twice in three years, nothing comes close to seeing your side at Wembley.

“There has been so much interest from across the globe, with people coming from Australia, New Zealand, Holland and Bermuda – I hope my voice works and I don’t stumble!”

An Argyle spokesman said: “With Andy on duty as normal, it will take another little bit of Home Park to Wembley. We know the fans and – importantly – Derek and the players will enjoy hearing a recognisable voice performing a familiar routine before the game.”

The hotel I'm staying in on Sunday night has just sent me a welcome email which includes the weather for my stay, Monday has it raining (looks more like pissing down). Anybody else looked at the weather prospects?

I might have to bring more pants and socks if I'm going to get soaked!

Does seem that it maybe cloudy/rainy on Monday. Im sure it'll be dryish in the pub though.

The ten day forecast I saw gave a 74% chance of rain, looking like I'll have to take my huge umbrella. Lucky for Ottawa Green and Angry S they will all be able to shelter under Nool (along with Jimmy, Si and Nikkk).

Snorbert Dentressanglespangle?

Last Wembley playoff I could have sheltered under the guy sat next to me/on my lap. We saw him in the pub and were all laughing saying "pity the poor fecker who has to sit next to him".
