Apparently it's been confirmed. Big Sam is gone.

Dunno if this is confirmation enough, not exactly Alan's Available tweeting at the FA but...

Leaves with a 100% record. Best England manager ever. Not even the most bent, Don Revie surely takes that accolade.

After they suspended him pending an internal investigation, Derby are apparently "poised" to sack Nigel Pearson and... reappoint Shteve McClaren!

Apparently Allardyce has offered to resign and some journos expect the situation to be resolved tonight.

Sam Allardyce to leave England role tonight. Mutual agreement between him and FA to part ways

I'd love to say we had the worst referee I've ever seen at League Two level but they're all shite so I'll just say this one was consistently shit for both teams. Bottled a couple of sendings off for two yellows (one bloke came on as a sub, scythed our lad down, got booked for it and got in the ref's face gobbing right off and didn't get a second yellow - respect the ref my arse!) and gave us a soft penalty (which I won't complain about) to draw the game. He also sent their manager off after awarding our pen and rumour is he had to have actual security outside his changing room at full time.

The sooner we get out of this league the better.

He told a story about when Clough tried to sign him for Forest, met him at Alan Hill's house. Brian Clough turned up late, pissed, refused to talk in front of his agent, made everyone sing Frank Sinatra and then destroyed Alan Hill's flowers in his back garden. Then Saunders left to go home, by the time he'd gotten home Brian Clough was already there with his missus and mother-in-law.

Although a few respected and connected journalists, former players, and Clough's family have all said it's bollocks I think.

(Edited down for ease)

Forest are in real bother with the owner. On the field they've got off to a great start, even if they've come up short against the big guns of the division, but Fawaz is a real destabilising influence. I was reading last night that their assistant manager is going to resign over it and 8 players hand in transfer requests. Not a happy ship. Moreso given they're on the brink of being taken over by a complete nutcase. One of a number in the division who deserve better ownership and will suffer in the long term because of it.

So much for the Fit and Proper Persons Test then ey! The Football League's a bit shit really, they should sort themselves out in-house before they worry about revamping competitions or re-branding or any of that bollocks.

Yeah, one thing our fans seem to be doing well is getting across our plight to opposition teams' fans before a fixture. Fortunately, most seem to sumpathise. I expect a draw, going 2-2.

What a game already at Hartlepool, a goal each and Hartlepool have a man sent off with only 4 mins gone!

Still too many scabs

3,085 is what the BBC gave out (seeing as how Blackpool didn't give out the number themselves for obvious reasons) for the attendance with 626 away fans, I'm surprised you got that many home fans to be honest!

@Vercoe you made the long trip up to Bloomfield then? If so, please don't spend any money in the ground!

I haven't, I've got work this evening so that put paid to that. Luckily a lot of our fans are fully aware of the OystonOut campaign so I hope they don't fill their pockets any more than necessary, although with such a long journey for most of our fans I can't see there being that many anyway.

I don't know which way this game will go, partly because it's early doors so you don't really know what the opposition are like and partly because we've been so hit and miss already.

If by some miracle I ever become a professional footballer I'd delete my Twitter account immediately; and if I signed for Argyle I'd have even more reason to do so because nearly all my tweets are about Argyle and how shit we are.

Bit of Town transfer news - as I wrote the above we announced left-back Tareiq Holmes-Dennis on a 3-year deal from Charlton. One for the future, I assume, as Chris Löwe looks very good. Though we are light in that position, with Jason Davidson departing for Groningen. Don't know anything about him, so can't comment on his attributes.

We had Holmes-Dennis on loan two seaons ago (I think, when we made the play-offs but got dicked by Wycombe home and away) and you could see there's some potential there but he always looks suspect at the defending side of the game, as most young fullbacks do these days, 'though we mainly played him as a wing-back so he always had cover.

Scored a screamer for us towards the end of the season though.

Yeah, Liverpool's so far away from Wales so how is that even possible...

I was just highlighting the fact he was a Liverpool fan and he was Welsh so he wasn't given the best deck of cards to play with.

All the Liverpool fans on 606 turning on Klopp now...

As I was driving home from the game I heard two or three of them, and none of them had a Scouse accent and none of them actually attended games I guarantee it - one of them was Welsh.

Tbf there was some valid criticism like Alberto Moreno is wank and Mignolet isn't a good goalkeeper but then someone was saying they'd gotten worse from when Rodgers had them, 'though this same person failed to understand Chris Waddle's point that they lost 4 big players in the summer after they finished 2nd so it would take time to replace them. I think these people just go on to vent and don't want a decent debate; which is probably why Robbie Savage still has a job.

I had such high hopes for us this season as well. I know it's only 2 games in (3 if you count the League Cup) but it's already starting to grate. I think the slump in form from the second half of last season is still fresh in the fans' minds.

I'll be boycotting every EFL (spit) trophy game during this "trial". I'm absolutely certain that the Football League want to use it as justification for adding B-Teams into the league structure. Also ridiculous how they jumped this on the clubs at the latest AGM last minute AND THEN changed rules and criteria since, meaning this isn't even the same competition technically that clubs voted yes to trial!

Edit: I also find it amusing that it's the English Football League trophy and yet we're playing Newport and Swansea U23s (I know that isn't their clubs' faults).

The drama continues...Oystons claim no one is interested in buying the club hence why they won't sell, newspapers then report anonymous bid was made to buy the club and ground for £10mill last Wednesday. Looks like more lies from our owners. When will they take their money and go?!

Football wise, I think have signed some crap goalkeeper from Oxford United.

I'd love to go on an away trip to Blackpool in August mostly for the great piss up but my Argyle partner-in-crime is married and so is under the thumb, I'm going to see if he can convince the missus to go too seeing as how she came to Wembley...

I'm re watching videos from last season (I watched the whole of the play-off second leg vs. Portsmouth earlier in work because we have literally fuck all on at the moment) and I'm so fucking buzzed for next season.
