Greetings to the Green Army. Just to wish you the best of luck in staying up, so the battle of the dockyards can resume next season [assuming we still exist ]. I had visitors from Plymouth last month who gave me the bad news that the Hyde Park has closed and the Mutley Crown is now a Sainsbury's. WTF has happened to Mutley Plain? Any-way, back to the thread. Who do you think will take the dreaded drop into the conference? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_3/predictor/default.stm
I'm not counting anything including chickens yet fratoniser. Accrington look like a candidate for one of them but it could still be one of 5 or 6 who join them including us. A couple of bad days results wise and we are right back in the mire again. Torquay aren't looking great so perhaps they might be the other candidate if I'm pushed for one. I know it's a strange concept but when I was a young man, yes I know that was a long while ago, Mutley Plain was a shopping area with a load of shops you could do your weeks shopping in. Gradually over the years the Home and Colonial shut followed by numerous others and Pubs sprang up like confetti. It became a bit like a mini Union Street for those who couldn't be arsed to get a cab into town. All that is happening is a small reversal of that with a couple of shops opening up. Sadly the two newest are a tesco and sainsbury.
What happened to Mutley? Students is what happened - when the polytechnic became a uni. It's gone downhill since.
Stuff the maths, if we get one more win and up to 52 points then I will totally believe it's job done no matter how many games are left. I do not believe the form of the teams below will be sufficient to catch that added to the current goal difference. We need at least one from four. Who woke you up Mrs lalala? Thought you'd emigrated to somewhere exotic. You are right reference the students though. Hence a tesco and sainsbury mini store or metro as they now like to Americanise the name of these things. I used to live in Prince Maurice Road in Lipson which are all pretty large houses. Mainly 5 bedroom. Gradually over a short period the students started to move in renting from absentee landlords. I am a live at let live person so the increase in parties and late night taxi door slamming didn't bother me much but it definately changed the tone of the area and the shops etc. My Mrs, being the kind and thoughtful lady she is, used to advise them on disposal of rubbish and how they could tone things down if it got way out of line. Once she got in touch with an absentee landlord at 2am who wasn't best pleased. He objected to being woken at that ungodly hour as you would expect. She pointed out she was still awake and so would he be every night unless he sorted out his house. Guess what happened next. You probably have but I'll tell you anyway. It went mighty quiet next door for weeks after and one very sheepish young man even arrived with a plant in a pot for her and appologised. What a thoughful young man he must be and very kind to his mother.
............"What a thoughtful young man he must be and very kind to his mother".......blimey sensible was hairy j living in student digs next door then, and turning up with a pot plant for mum.
No he lived at home in those days plym and if he bought his mother a pot plant then he would have borrowed the money off me. You know the sort of loans, the ones that start out as a loan and then become a permanent gift.
