In celebration of our new goalkeeping coach, I am indulging in old school glove ogling. Here is Mike Stowell in some very 90's Reusch and Sondico gloves 🤩 #pafc

When algorithms go very wrong. As I like Frank Zappa no, I would not like Derek and the Dominoes. Anything with Eric Clapton can get in the bin. I am indifferent to Tull and Harum.

Argyle (3rd) v Bournemouth (1st) on this lovely sunny afternoon. Records are practically identical, only difference being our defeat at Watford. Combined 36 goals scored, conceded 3 each. What would be described on some dreadful Saturday morning Sky Sports panel show as a "proper test". #pafc

Dang 😔 Diane Keaton was outstanding. You got the obvious like the Godfathers, but if you've ever seen Reds it just cements she was one of the top performers of her generation. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

International break (boooo!) so have dug through some more old photos. We've got ourselves the two greatest midfield Steves ever. Some bloke with 125 England caps. The finest Canadian-Italian called Carlo and "Ohhh Adie, Adie!" #pafc

My mum doing her bit for women's football back in the late-60's! That kit would have been in Wolves 'Old Gold' colours which my Grandad chose for his youth team as he loved Billy Wright.

Evergreen shoebox of random stuff has arrived 😍 To be fair the notebook is good timing, as mine has just run out of available space to write on. Right on! I shall use the bottle opener to open it. #pafc

Something for all of us who have ever done rural touring. Single roads, high hedges, no signal, can you see the road sign? Here Larry Grayson talks a bit about a tour he did to places like Christow, Chudleigh, Lamerton... All in 1947 and on a lorry! All power to you Larry 🫡 youtu.be/MDpPPzgLe2k

What is Tuchel expecting from a mid-week friendly against Wales? No international friendly anywhere on this planet is going to have energy. Be grateful anyone actually turned up or stuck around. He does seem to be a man who loves being a bit a tosser. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Number two wearing the jumper of the 7th Doctor, an era where the show was openly accused of anti-Tory bias. Interesting headspace to occupy... Bonus points if The Happiness Patrol is his favourite story. #DoctorWho

Watford must have the sacking statement with blanks ready to be filled in on their desktop. Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, job done. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Felt like an utter clever bastard watching Mastermind last night. Helped that one of the specialist subjects was Queen. I won't be modest - I was amazing. Now all I need is someone to do Argyle fullbacks of the 90's. Unless I have to apply myself and would they take it?

Archetypal mid-table League One game. Surprised it took Wigan that long to realise that if you let us have the ball and force us to think we struggle. Like being given a blank piece of paper and Hemmingway stands over you screaming "Write a novel!" #pafc

This ref must sit down on Sunday mornings, open up the laptop, cracks his fingers and sings - "I looooove paperwork, Put another booking in the notebook baby." #pafc

Nearly 30 years ago, a 3-1 win against Wigan. In modern parlance Adrian Littlejohn with 3 goal involvements, one of which includes a bamboozling dummy on Colin Greenall who must have bust a lung in his sprint. Also two splendid air kicks. Only 2 of the 3 Amigos played. #pafc youtu.be/EVYM4O9iSM0

Now Taylor Swift is not alone in this, but one thing culture can really do with dumping is this trope of art coming from misery. It can end up fetishing some very real mental health issues. It can also validate behaviours which frankly should not be tolerated. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The great Dwight Marshall's birthday. Here he is scoring a hat trick. Also includes; Bradford keeper doing who knows what - twice! Nugent long range chip. Nicholls own goal. The white shorts look weird. #pafc youtu.be/ccnk5RkaRxs

What a pile of protectionist old bollocks. Football is stronger and more interesting when there is competition from more than a select few. The top clubs histories and achievements aren't isolated. They happened because the pyramid provides the games to do it. #pafc www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

Roll up! Welcome good people to the Loyalty Points fixture! Last played in March, it was a tasty affair ranging from "How many club comps?" "Season ticket holders bought and passed them on!" "Screw this, I'm trying the home end." #pafc www.pafc.co.uk/news/exeter-...

Medical roleplay has been kind to me and a lot of actors, but when you have to learn 4 different scenarios for one session and each with a lot of similarities...

Finally a "No Mercy" approach. Bottom of the league and low on confidence? TOUGH! #pafc

That first half is testament to what can happen when you don't needlessly pass, move it quicker and move after passing. Still not entirely trusting of our defence or discipline though... #pafc

If football had a spine they would boycott playing in the US. Infantino is a big ol' shill, so it's up to individual associations to grow one and start to pull out. Use the soft power wisely for once as it will have an impact. Should've happened in Russia, then Qatar... www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

I've always wanted Argyle to do a tea set of players with only 1 appearance. Included in it would be - Rab Douglas tea pot Alex Bray saucer Sascha Opinel china mug Dean Crowe "Bugger this I'm off" strainer. I think this would sell well. I really, really do. #pafc

Call me naive, but instead of buying platforms for bots to spread bile, you might achieve the attention and press you crave and demonstrate patriotism by - I dunno, maybe going "I paid the full rate of tax on my vast income to help pay for the infrastructure of the country I love."

Got to admit this is very impressive. Currently sitting in the automatic promotion spots of the disciplinary table. Topping that penalties conceded table though 💪🏼 #pafc

Two sitcom quotes ran through my head watching us - Veep - "You have two settings... No decision and bad decision." Red Dwarf - "Always with the triangles." #pafc

Ponderous over indulgence. #pafc

Is it a good show? Well yes. But better than contemporaries like Porridge and the Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin? Not for me at least. I find those two to be far better written and have superior central performances. Not long Fawlty Towers finishes Yes Minister arrives...

"Boutique Investment Bank" conjured up images of a small shop somewhere in an insanely expensive part of London. It has patterned wallpaper that's more than your annual salary and a carpet so plush, so quiet you think your feet are missing. Bog paper is made up of Shakespeare's manuscripts. #pafc

The club should create a David McNamee prize for the end of season awards - "For Services to Physiotherapy." It could be shaped like a swollen knee or ankle. #pafc

Simeone's Athletico have always been like that big bully kid who used to force themselves into your kick about. They'd shove, elbow, kick you but as soon as you gave any back they'd flip out and be on the edge of tears. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

My dad's second sentence to me this morning was "When I'm next to pass away..." All I'm thinking is "Fuck, is there an order?" So I suppose my question is, anyone younger than me would you like my socks when I go? I've got standard, trainer, thermal, waterproof and compression. Impressed ah?

There's a run over rat on Grenville Road. Unless it was the flattest thing that ever lived, it's hard to believe that it was once three dimensional.

When you're the descendant of the landed gentry, a share trader, a Baronet, went to private schools and you then get the inevitable BBC series you're not really a radical figure. You're part of the entrenched poshness of entertainment and establishments in the UK. Maybe audiences wised up?

Channel 5's NFL coverage seems to be a combination of cheap ITV Saturday night entertainment, the type that Michael Barrymore would have sung a terrible R&B cover on and the detritus that even Soccer AM wouldn't use, specifically from Tim Lovejoy's toilet trips.

Haven't sat up here in decades. Feels like forbidden territory for those of us who have dwelt on the Mayflower lower like trolls. Cheap trolls who used to stand there and are usually willing to get wet as it saves us a couple of quid. Due to it peeing down they've taken pity on us all. #pafc

Yeah I know people love a 20-goal a season striker, but seeing a midfielder scoring is entirely my groove daddio. Seen this happen to us to often so I have no sympathy for the opposition. Now if we could cut out the comedic commitment to clownish defensive lapses next... #pafc

My contributions to Foulston Park conspiracies are the following. It's a - Warehouse for counterfeit Fat Willy's t-shirts. Gene editing lab to make goalkeepers with "go go gadget arms." Giant sponge. No not a financial one, just a massive sponge to prevent local flooding. #pafc

It may well speed up earnings x 13 but it could for example speed up the chance of a heart attack x 13. That's if said athletes were already clean to begin with... Would be naive to think that many aren't already either versed in or have access to doping knowledge. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/swimmi...

Twiddling me thumbs so I thought I would ruminate on my favourite over 30's signings that have happened in my time. So this will discount legends like Jim Furnell as I didn't see him play. Wish I had but alas no TARDIS to help with that issue. Them's me rules! 🧵 #pafc

Here’s the thing: we do not concede *one inch* to the far right. Ever. Anywhere. They are not just another political player. They are a threat to everything our ancestors fought and died to protect. They are not to be appeased. They are to be stopped. Rip down the flags wherever you see them. 3/3

The keep politics out of football crowd showing up by Poundland in England shirts to openly celebrate the mere 30 seconds of coitus they can sustain with a flag made in China. Usually followed by 30 mins of weeping.

"What's that film where we got our asses kicked in that war? The one where we had to send one of our own to kill a higher ranking officer as he'd gone stark raving bonkers? The one where no one is really in charge? That's the vibe I want..." My advice is always get out of the boat Trump.

4-2 win over Stockport after a terrible start to the season you say? Landon with 2, Nicholls getting his second red that season, dinky Dungey debut, O'Hagan's first for us and Edworthy's only one for us and 33% of his career goal tally. #pafc youtu.be/1C6_cYwkUpw

The birthday of the great Freddie Mercury. Why he's the man to me is that he didn't care. Now he cared what the audience thought, just not whether you found him over the top. He left the lot out there, no hiding his desire to entertain, never closed to audience energy. youtu.be/dl_QE5kGPDQ

Cleverley's quotes here would make a nice short monologue exercise. Are you annoyed? Frustrated? Angry? What level of those are you? Who are you really talking to? Body language? Bung some psychological gesture on that and we're cooking #pafc www.plymouthherald.co.uk/sport/footba...

Yeovil Town, Scunthorpe United and now Team Tory Twat in the House of Lords.

Short vid of Peter Weller talking about Naked Lunch. That film has images that fucking burnt into my mind the second I saw them and will never leave. youtu.be/NQHAcmWQ7u4
