Yeah it was quite comfortable. We were fantastic first half and should've been 3/4/5 up, but only scored one (just like on Saturday). Floodlight failure delayed the start of the second half by 20 minutes which didn't help my hour long journey home any more! Scored a cracking goal in the second half and, bar a few good stops, our 'keeper had relatively little to do.

We need to improve our finishing though, could've scored a tonne in the past three games.

We've got Exeter tonight in the JPT, and this isn't me covering my ass or anything, but I don't really mind if we go out tonight; promotion is looking good this year and we've only got a small squad do I'd prefer to concentrate on the league.

Only problem I have with Windows 10 is that, ever since updating, my laptop has issues when it shuts down and sporadically decides when it wants to shut down or when it wants to just go to a black screen and run down the battery like a dick.

Just watched The Angriest Man in Brooklyn which made me sad and miss Robin Williams but also made me happy and fall in love with Mila Kunis more.

Apparently there are journos and ex-Liverpool players on TalkSport and 606 saying Liverpool aren't interested in Klopp... like seriously?! They'd be mad not to at least be a little interested!

Strange that, I'd heard Newport had fuck all money because their lottery winning owner pulled out because he's only now realised what a sinkhole owning a football club is, which is why they were doing so poorly because they didn't/couldn't give Butcher the budget of last season in the first place, in fact they cut it significantly to lower than some Conference teams! So 1. I don't see how it's fair to not give a manager, however good he may or may not be, the resources to succeed and then sack him for not succeeding and 2. Where did the money come from to sack him?

I can see Newport being in trouble this year.

I heard that! I like how Mark Chapman was like "... not seriously though, right?" and the bloke was like "Well he can't be worse than Wenger!" Jeeeesus! Even Mark Lawrenson laughed, and he's a miserable cunt!

About 150-200 Argyle fans apparently, not sure on how many City fans there were. Still couldn't help the result, unfortunately.

A friend of a friend (yeah, yeah, I know) said that it's probably a good decision anyway. That director set up, or bought together the consortium that purchased Torquay earlier and then made himself director of football with a big pay rise despite not really knowing what he was doing.

Isn't that just going to their supporters trust? I know a donation site for the suuporters trust is up and I know their supporters trust have a large interest in buying Plainmoor and they don't want to work with the board at Torquay if I'm not mistaken.

Correct, I should've been more precise. From what I understand the fans/fans' trust don't think the current board are interested in the club or are fit to run it.

It all seems a very big mess.

We know what it's like to be close to going out of business so we can sympathise, I guess. It's not nice and wouldn't wish it on any fan.

Yeah Torquay are fucked. Owe money in a lot of dismissal claims, new manager leaves not 2 months into the season; just a bad time.

A load of Argyle fans are going up to Plainmoor on Tuesday to support them and give them some extra cash. An online forum has already raised £500 to help out.

It's shite, they could do a much better job with a lesser budget, I'm sure. Fuck off the crowds, fuck off one or both of the presenters, just a stylish highlights show is all we need; not even some punditry or whatever.

I thought you could do that anyway? It doesn't give them an advantage.

You can (obviously, they played on with them after a letter saying it's cool). I guess it's just the fact they didn't tell the ref.

Laid to rest the shambles of our away play-off defeat today by beating Wycombe. Kick off was delayed for 6 minutes because the Wycombe players were wearing monitoring equipment underneath their shirts and the ref wanted confirmation from the FA that it was okay. No one even noticed until our gaffer told the ref right before kick off.
