    The fixture list is out and the first league game is on Saturday 2nd August, not much more than a month away.

    Before I start rolling the files over, who's up for it? I'd propose the same rules as last time, except for the Super Match, which seemed like a good idea at the time but made a bit of a mockery of the Joker.

    As published, there appear to be a higher ratio of Saturday games. That may be because Sky have more EPL games and have therefore lost some interest in the other leagues, plus we've dropped down one of course. It may also be that which specific games will be televised hasn't been decided upon by the broadcasters yet and the coach and horses may still be driven through the whole thing.

    Unless anyone else wants to do it.....

    So notDistant ...including you .....it seems that there are three of us at present keen to make fools of ourselves again.

    It will be interesting to see where Argyle will finish this year....I find it hard to put us in the top six.....unless we get a proven goalscorer before the season starts.

    In fact we do look a little weak down the length of the teams spine.

    I assume that there are not anymore leaving....although there was talk of Hazard moving on....but maybe his lack of fitness has scotched any chance of that at present.

    It does surprise me how many players who helped to get us relegated....have jumped ship like rats leaving a sinking vessel....it's as if they're saying " it woz not my doing gov "....maybe they needed clearing out anyway.

    With no fit keeper at present and no designated No 9....and unproven mid-fielders as well.....a mid-table finish might be the best we can do......but let us see who comes in....especially those later loanees that we might get.

    Luton seem to have a chance of being top dog in this division....I expect parachute payments are helping them still......although financially we're not too badly off.....but can we use it wisely...?

    I don’t think it was the players’ fault Plym. It was the cumulative effect of two poor managers.

    Our form under Muslic would, over a whole season, have been enough to have us safely tucked up in mid-table.

    A playing life is short and each individual only gets one of them. I expect 100% from them while they’re here and by and large we got that, but I can’t blame them for trying to move their careers on if the club lets them down.

    The one that hurts the most is Adam Randell though…….

    Musty and SMH aren’t Argyle fans so they (wisely) don’t tune to listen to us droning on during the closed season.

    Lyndhurst will be busy with the comings and goings and will no doubt try to fit in a well deserved holiday.

    Sensible only comments if you and I say anything informative, interesting or important. So we haven’t seen much of him lately.

    They’ll be back I expect.

    It's a wonder this website still exists with so few users and some of those think we close down for the summer.....or so it seems.
