Plymouth Argyle 3-3 Watford Fc - 01/01/2024

All potential pitch invaders would say this...

 

Jealousy, pure jealousy. Just because Ginsters won’t share their original special recipe.

 

I recall the much the best drumming by fans being at Aldershot - presumably local squaddies. Will the Argyle team be ‘piped aboard,’ as it were, by local sailors?

 

Well said.

 

No I don't want to risk the ban at the moment - last season however, a life-time stadium ban could've been seen as a mercy

 

I can help here.

Your profile says that you're 37; I'm 67.

Over the next 40 years, whether you're an 'armchair' or 'in person' fan, home or away, you'll spend most of your WFC-related time wondering why you bother letting it ruin weekends/Tuesday nights.

But in amongst it, you'll have my equivalent to:

The Taylor years
Kaiserlautern at home
York away, with a 96th-minute equaliser
Getting to know people like the late 'Carrier bag Pete'
The play-off finals we won
Pre and post-match drinks at places like the Rifle, the Victoria and West Herts
Beating Cantona's Leeds United
Dragging (and paying for!!) my nieces to home games when I came down to Watford, and some of them going on to season tickets holders
My two Sheffield-born daughters being 100% armchair, plastic WFC

What's not to like???

 

Andre Gray ?

 

MERRY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FELLOW HORNETS AND ALSO TO THE START OF OUR PLAOFF PUSH!!!

 

Look forward to our new signings being bedded into the team against Plymouth.

 

Happy New Year u 'orns wherever you are

 

EDIT TYPO IN MY EARLIER POST ABOVE

 

On coach 2 now. I'm not the only one with a look of "how the hell am I here" on my face!!!!!

 

You and your fellow travellers have my sympathy. I’m currently having breakfast in bed with Mrs Ilkley, in a nice little flat overlooking Plymouth harbour. We’ll stroll up to the ground after lunch.

 

Is Mrs Ilkley a keen spectator or is she there under sufferance?

 

I’m very happy to say she’s a keen spectator.

Edit: … as are two of our three (grown up) children. Only our middle one supports another team, despite all growing up in Birmingham. Thankfully he chose Villa.

 

As Joe E Brown said in the final line of 'Some Like it Hot ', " Nobody's perfect!"

 

I saw a coach heading to Stansted yesterday advertising the Ashmolean.

Made a pleasant change from Dennis Potter.

 

Sorry to say, I think that now tends to be the time of the season that clubs that have 'thin' squads get found out, as injuries and suspensions start to pile up. I think this would include Watford. I don't know anything about the current Plymouth, except to note they have a very good home record. I hope I'm wrong and, of course, it was not so long ago a poor Watford team beat Manure 4-1 and Liverpool 3-0. So studying form in football is a tricky business, as any bookie will tell you.

 

I was so blurry eyed at 6.30 this morning I wouldn't have noticed if Kylie Minogue was naked on the side of the coach

 

I would imagine the team something like that today?

 

Probably right. No way the ball is sticking up top with that lineup though

 

That's why I put Rajovic way way way up top

 

Err, could you post a pic of the coach just in case.

I can't beat 6:30am but I was in minor injuries at 8:30am this morning for son with wrist fracture due to his younger brother jumping on it. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Hopefully today will be one of those incredible away games that you will remember for decades to come which will make the gargantuan effort all the more worthwhile. We'll done to all those travelling.

 

Are there any updates on Healey, is he definitely out?

 

I thought I read he was with the squad.
Could be wrong.

 

Even with Healey and Bayo unavailable, Rajovic shouldn’t be starting. Stick Ince or Martins up front.

 

Is this one on Sky Red Button/Bonus Stream on NOW TV?

 

Anyone throwing up into a carrier bag?

 

I've seen worse. (But I've seen better, as well).
