    Totally gobsmacked that I was top with a pathetic 10pts this week....will obviously take a few weeks to settle down and the stronger teams emerge.

    The worry is that Argyle might be showing that they are one of the weaker teams already.

    Tom Cleverley needs to show some sort of leadership over these players.....they at times look like ships lost at sea without any idea how to defend or score goals................rather galling to see that an Exeter team managed to score four goals against Blackpool who I thought might be one of the better teams this season......I wonder how many games Argyle will need to play to total four goal in total....we're averaging 0.5 goals a match at present.

    But there is no point in doing anything unless you intend to win I mean do it to the best of your ability.

    Doing it accurately means.....taking your green tints off......and putting Argyle down for other than a win.

    Ah but some people take part for the pleasure of taking part whereas others have to win at any cost.

    I didn’t say win at any cost! But I don’t enjoy losing.

    There’s one thing for sure . My routinely carp scores while doing the scores proves I don’t cheat!

    The comment wasn't particularly directed at you notdistant. I never check my points even. If you tell me I have 5 then 5 it is unless you forget my joker success or goal time if I get it right. As I said for some it's the taking part.

    I didn’t think for a minute you were accusing me of cheating! We’ve never met but I think we know each other better than that!
