One game down, forty-five to go as far as the 24 teams in the Championship is concerned, but what did the opening weekend of fixtures tell us? Many regard Doncaster’s 1-0 win at Derby as the performance of the weekend, but that’s only working on the assumption that Rovers were playing League One football last […]

It’s clear that the Pilgrims need new reinforcements after Paul Wotton, Lilian Nalis and Peter Halmosi all left the club this summer. Many fans expect next season to be a tough one at Home Park, especially with Ebanks-Blake no longer around to bang in the goals, as he did during the first part of last […]

Plymouth Argyle winger Peter Halmosi has been a long-term target of Premier League new boys Hull City, with Tigers manager Phil Brown admitting his interest publically last week.

Rumour is rife in the Championship and top of the list is the ‘news’ that Ian Holloway could be Leicester bound. The man who seems so perfect for his current club Plymouth, going to work for Milan Mandaric? Surely not? Well, the Croatian seems confident. Or at least his representative does:
“Ian Holloway would be Milan […]

It’s not been a great year for Auntie, what with losing a load of funding, being found out to be dirty rotten cheats ripping of quiz contestants and Gary Lineker still smirking at the camera. So it with a smile on our face that we bring you better news from White City, the Beeb will […]

Ian Holloway is a genius and should be knighted. That’s one opinion. Here’s another - Ian Holloway is a village idiot performing like a monkey for media cash. To decide which group you fall into - let’s help you with Ollie’s views of footballer’s burn-out:
