New grounds

Have realised I have been to 3 new grounds without rating them!

First up was Blackpool in October, 0-0 draw but hey. Luckily for us it was fantastic weather, as the away fans are in an open (ie not covered) stand. They are trying to redevelop and it could be a nice ground. However, there were no programmes on sale for the away fans, just rubbish. Will give it a 6 on the leaderboard.

Next was Charlton, also in October, 2-1 victory for us. Was a fab night out in the capital. Ground was nice (I really need to think of another word for that), great atmosphere in the away end. Will give it a 7.5 on my leaderboard.

Lastly was Sheffield United on Saturday, a 1-0 victory for us. Given everything that happened last week atmosphere in the away end was AWSOME!!!!!!! We even had a couple of "Are you watching Holloway", once when we scored, then at the end. Ground was OK, nothing to complain about, same generic stadium as most of the others. Will also give it a 7.5 on the leaderboard.

Next new away ground will be Watford in December.

Welcome back Mr Sturrock

So Luggy is our new manager YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! He did well for us last time he was our manager. Let's hope he carry on where he left off when he went to Southampton.
Also, welcome back Kevin Summerfield and John Blackley.

Wednesday 21st November 2007

Well, yesterday has to go down as one of the worst days EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's very close to the previous worst day of my life, but not quite.
First of all there was the (not so shock) resignation of the wonder that was the Argyle manager, Mr Ian "loylalty" Holloway. After all his preaching about how much he loves Plymouth, Argyle and everything to do with it, how he hates "big money players", how he hates disloyalty to the club its unsuprising that most Argyle fans hate his guts right now.
If that wasn't bad enough, we then had to watch the pathetic display by England. Least said about that the better.
What a contrast to four years ago today when we were celebrating England winning the Rugby World Cup.

Can God use you?

That was the question we were asked at St George’s on Sunday night. Things for me recently haven’t been brilliant, and I had forgotten that God is in charge, not me. I am once again having to make some major decisions and have been trying to make them on my own. The sermon on Sunday really reminded me that I need to trust God, His plan for me and not rely on my own plan. That's what I intend to do from now on.
So can God use me? You bet He can, I’m just waiting to see how.
Am I the only Christian to struggle with this?

F1 - end of season report

Well, tomorrow is the big appeal about the non-disqualification of some of the cars on the final race of the season. If they are actually disqualified then Lewis could win the title. Even has a HUGE Mclaren fan, I hope he doesn't win it in court, he should win it on the track (and would have done if Mclaren hadn't messed it up for him in China and Brazil) plus however much I dislike the Finnish driver (aka Kimi Raikkonen), he doesn't deserve to lose it in court.
Having said that, the FIA have appeared really biased against Mclaren, and towards the Italian team, and a fair result would be that if the other cars had illegally warm fuel, they should be disqualified.
It's hardly surprising that Fernando has heard the drums (sorry so obvious but had to be done) and left Mclaren, will be interesting to see where he ends up, and who replaces him.
The whole spying thing - I'm obviously going to say that Mclaren were hard done by, but I haven't seen all the evidence, so can't really comment on it. Just glad that Lewis and Fernando didn't lose points. Will be interesting to see what happens with the hearing into Renualt spying.
The next few weeks could be very interesting indeed, as could next season, depending on who joins Mclaren and where Fernando goes. Let's just hope its exciting for the right reasons - as in action on the track, rather then other controversy in court.

Long over due update

Well, where do I start? First of all apologies for not writing for months, but things have been, well interesting, manic and stressful about sum it up.
I have now moved into my own flat, which I totally love. I have got everything just how I want. I love having my own space after living with my parents for 2 yrs.
My job - well least said about this the better to be honest, let's just say I'm leaving at the end of term, and have been signed off sick till then. Am trying to find another job for after Christmas.
Have been going round the country watching Argyle, first at Hull way back in August (fine win), Barnsley (stupid loss), Blackpool (interesting draw in the bright sunlight), Coventry (in Plymouth, fine victory), Charlton (excellent win, and a chance catch up with Emily, who was persuaded that night to come, and who I am trying to persuade to come to other Argyle matches in London). Next game I'll be going to is Sheffield Utd away next weekend, and another chance to meet up with the gang.
During half term I also went down to Plymouth, via Bex's Exeter, and came back via Dave's in Trowbridge. When I got there, Pete (who I was staying with) told me that Gemma and Tim were on their way down as well, and we all had lunch together (before some of us had to go and watch football), an excellent bonus to the weekend.
Anything else to report, um, well the other major news can wait till later.
Till then bfn
