    Just watched the extended highlights: very much The Tegan Finn Show. Not just the goals and assists but a string of devastatingly accurate corners and passes.

    Looking through last nights results that included U21 teams.

    Spurs lost 6-2.
    Man C lost 3-0.
    A Villa lost 4-2.
    Chelsea lost 3-0.
    C Palace lost 3-1.

    The only success was Arsenal beating Newport County 2-1.

    Are they that weak.....surely there will be no Premiership players coming through such set-ups.....if they're is....would they have not already risen to the fringes of the first team and wouldn't be playing at this level anyway.

    Ok it gave Argyle a boost last night....but we mustn't read too much into it......we must hope that it gives our players a lift to perform better.

    Unfortunately for us it gave Tegan Finn unneeded highlighting to these bigger U21 clubs.

    Presumably the EPL clubs see merit in their youngsters playing against adult teams. No doubt they agreed - or even specified the arrangement!

    There was some statement to the effect that no EPL team has got out of these preliminary rounds for several years.

    I wonder if to some any Argyle victory is a thing of joy. Lets face it if we win comfortably it's not because we played well it's the crap standard of the opposition.

    Stop tyring to being suttle .....your just not very good at it......Bristol Rovers scored four against them and beat them in a penalty shoot-out.

    Lets face it Spurs are not very good.
