You are consistent Magicman, I’ll give you that ?

Sad to see.
Warne fell into that classic football trap of not signing Chris Martin in January, and is now reaping what he sowed.

Pathetic. Hang your heads in shame Derby. Hang your heads in shame.

Well, Rosenior never won Manager of the Month, did he?
Guess that’s settled.

Jourdan reacted to Bob The Badger in Plymouth Argyle Game
I just did an audit of the most thrilling stories I've heard
Yours came in at number 4, so you're right, not the most thrilling, but not to be sniffed at.
And let's face it, nobody was ever going to beat the time my dad put the tea cosy on his head as a joke, or the one when my Gran's false teeth fell in her soup.
Happy days.

Hard to say. I don’t tend to stay in hotels. More of an Airbnb man myself.
I’ve stayed in two hotels in the area. One of them is Leonardo (formerly the Jury’s Inn) which is very central. It’s a short walk to Drake Circus, the Barbican and Sutton Harbour. A decent choice if you are looking for something relatively basic and relatively cheap and in a good location.
I’ve also stayed at Hotel Endsleigh. This is a country hotel in Milton Abbot near Tavistock and roughly 45 minutes from Plymouth. This is really nice if you want to make a proper getaway of it and have the big budget to match.
Sorry that I can’t add anything else.

Just to add some more insight into Plymouth for those travelling.
I would say set off early so you arrive with plenty of time and have a half day to explore a little.
Three areas of interest if you want a full day out are the Hoe, the Barbican, and Royal William Yard. Bear in mind none of these spots are near the stadium, but they are a bit more scenic than Mutley Plain.
If you go to the Hoe, there is a nice pub called The Waterfront with a terrace and sea views. There are other places on the Hoe but this is my favourite.
If you go to the Barbican, there are some highly rated fish and chip shops such as Harbourside and many places to eat and drink with a view of Sutton Harbour.
One favourite spot of mine is Alfresco, a food truck on the Barbican run by Italian locals who serve great hot chocolate and coffee. It’s nice to grab a hot drink and walk along the waterfront.
If you go to Royal William Yard, it’s again out of the centre but there are many chain bars and restaurants, many of which have outdoor seating. It’s also in a beautiful setting - right on the water and a repurposed naval base.
If you want to enjoy a bit of nature, you can take the Cremyll ferry to Mount Edgcumbe or stop off at Saltram. A beach that is fairly central to Plymouth is Bovisand Beach.
Any questions or recommendations needed, please ask away.

If the site is correct, we are closing in on 1500.
When you consider it’s a Tuesday night, on TV, and a good 4-5 hours down the motorway, that’s an excellent turnout.

How much should I budget for a full day out in the Hoe, is it extra for kissing etc?

Jourdan got a reaction from BriggRam in Barnsley (A), Saturday 25th February 3pm.
Yesterday was a desperately poor result but the way I see it is that we’d rather be seeing those results now than in May. It’s something we can recover from.
We haven’t lost ground on Plymouth and Wycombe haven’t gained ground on us. We are very much where we deserve to be and likely to end up being - in the playoffs. Whether we finish 3rd or 6th is immaterial.
All teams have games where every slip, trip, bobble, wobble, bounce and deflection goes in the opposition’s favour and every mistake gets punished. It was just one particularly bad day at the office. We have had four of those in 23 league games under Warne, so there’s no need to panic.
It’s all very well saying Warne needs to correct things or learn from defeats, but what more can he really do?
We have to remember that Warne is working with what he’s got - a very small squad with good quality but one that is having to rely on players playing out of position and young players to fill gaps to function even slightly.
There is no use in getting worked up and there is no use coming down like a hammer on Warne and the team.
I am sure Warne would love a colossus in midfield and I am sure Warne would love to rest 5-6 players but he doesn’t have that luxury. He is doing his best to troubleshoot from within.
We have 14 games to go and 9-10 of them look very winnable. The scaremongering after two rare defeats seems extreme.
Six points at PP this week and we can quickly move on from this.

Without searching @Jourdan I’m sure some of your posts from a few years ago, I didn’t agree, but I must say last few months I think you’ve been right on it. Great post again ⬆️
