    Yes I know.....that's what worries me.

    I do remember years back....maybe the winter weather had something to do with it....(cancelled games etc).....Blackpool finished their season somewhere mid table....and went abroad on hols as a club (something like that)....and came back to find that after other clubs had played their games in hand ...that they had been relegated.

    Just looked up Wikipedia....1978.....with 6 games to go Blackpool where 8th......they finished their season 16th...with 37pts from 42 games (2pts a win).

    When other teams had played their games in hand...Blackpool finished third from bottom and where relegated.

    At the end of December we had scored 40 goals...and conceded 42 goals.....and played 25 games.

    Since then until now we have scored only 18 goals...and conceded another 28 goals....and played 45 games.

    So in another 20 games we have only scored 18 goals....or 0.9 goals per match....truly shocking.

    Here's an interesting story.

    Manchester United have spent about £1 billion in recent years assembling their current squad. It#s now estimated to be worth... £846m and that includes Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay who came through the youth squad rather than being bought in.

    It seems that keeper Callum Burton will be leaving Argyle this summer...his wife has tweeted that it is the end of their time at Argyle.

    I'm sure you must have heard the rumours that Michael Cooper has been sold for £8million.....and whispers that it might be Celtic.......Joe Hart has announced his retirement....so is it putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5 ?

    It's going to be tiring summer if we listen to every rumour that goes around.

    I can understand Ashley Phillips.....he will be older and more experienced come next season.

    Not so sure about Alfie Devine....but of course I haven't seen him play and never noticed him on video.

    Of course they're probably mates both being from Spurs.

    Have we checked them out about wanting another loan with us ?

    Maybe Spurs might want to up the loan on them to a top half Championship club next season.

    If so it’s a blow but I suppose you can’t stand in his way.

    I was thinking the other day: perhaps on Saturday, I never feel the slightest palpitation when Michael Cooper has the ball with an opponent bearing down on him. With others, your heart is in your mouth all the time.
