It wasn't by his own account at all, Steve Evans claimed he said it, so I guess it must be true eh. Tinpot club? So tinpot you feel the need to come on our message board and spout off? Out of interest do you Get many argyle fans on your message boards? Because a fair few of Portsmouth fans seem to take quite an interest in this one, considering we are so "tinpot"
deep down you know paul cook isn't the answer for your club though don't you?1898":19zrdqum said:

Why would Plymouth be mentioned in a 'SOUTH COAST' sports headline? We're South West pal.
FYI South coast covers the Premier League's very own Bournemouth, Brighton and Southampton.......................................oh yeah, portsmouth and weymouth as well.
:facepalm: Twitter The most rational people on people earth :funny:
I think Twitter is good for sports headlines from Argyle, BBC or Sky. Its good to hear information this way.
However, in the hands of, lets call them normal people for the sake of it, it is an absolute classless social media.
People have forgotten how to have good natured banter and now its full on abuse. That's it. From high social ecstasy to personal, dumb witted attacks. People just cant control their emotions when using a phone, tablet or keyboard in todays society on twitter. I'm sure there are many exceptions when this isn't true but for from I've seen its "type first and think later" type of attitude. When some of these idiots do get confronted in the public domain they are shamed and humiliated.
Its the same with Facebook.
I don't mind other Portsmouth or any other football fan opinion on here because its always good to get a balanced view. However, now they are fully behind their team I do wonder how many weren't bothered about Argyle because they were too busy posting calling for their managers head? Its amazing the turn around. He is a good manager. I notice when they lost to Crewe they had over 20 shots but just couldn't find the net. He has a solid foundation at the back and from what I've seen the problem has been the cutting edge. Now it seems they have found it.
Personally I'd like to see Portsmouth go up because they play decent football. Last season in the playoff semi's both games were very tight. However, like all clubs when we won I think some of our fans showed no class in the way we acted at the end of the game. I must of admit I was too happy because we won the game that I forgot they were even there. However there are fans I feel who just go to the game for this. Every club has its numpties and I think it a shame there is that bad feeling still remaining from last season.
For Pompey, when they do go up (I feel they will finish second) I dare say we will get a few lording it over us until our fate has been decided. However, I really don't care. I don't hate Pompey.
I just want Argyle to go up this season.

I am not quite sure why my statement got such a level of abuse..All i am saying is that we are 150 miles apart ..so questioned why promotion at Pompey should be particularly exciting..Personally i am hoping we will clinch it at Mansfield..because i am going..nothing more.
I used to like argyle a lot and go along but the vitriol Pompey get changes that..Unlike Exeter, whom we had a great time traveling home from FP, sharing beer and singing together..and they had beat us

Go back to your own forums and have a nice chat with the Exeter fans, bye bye

Sharing beers and signing with Exeter fans? After you lost....to Exeter city? That's just weird.

Do you see them as a threat? Ones that could realistically challenge your club over many seasons? To me, you both have different ambitions in the short & long term. They can never match your financial power with players wage.
It's the same with us and Torquay or even Yeovil. Decent community clubs, where you can integrate with the fans. Yeovil beat us recently. Yet it was more to do with Yeovil being a poor side that people were bothered about, than us losing to any sort of local rival.
It's so funny, the Pompey fans don't care about us so much that every single time they play us, they have to kind of force that message over and over back into their own narcissistic egos to make themselves feel big again.
Your South Coast rivals have moved on from you. You're irrelevant to them now and it's going to be a long time before you're relevant again. We are poo, you are poo, we've both been in this shitheap for a while and both have a chance of starting a bit of progress this year. We're clubs going in the same direction at a similar pace and we'll be seeing a lot more of each other in the coming seasons. Accept it and get over yourselves.
Geography isn't the only reason for rivalry. We've had mini rivalries with Luton and QPR in similar campaigns. You're not famous anymore so stop being so entitled.
In true keegan style I would love it if they fudged up this year.

Pompey fan here.
I think for most of our fans, Plymouth have become our de facto rivals purely because we're the best teams left in this league after last year, and the last four games between us have been extremely eventful. After four years in League 2, clubs that we've never cared about before have become stereotypes (Newport are cloggers, Wycombe timewaste, Stanley are plucky, Orient are underachievers), and your stereotype is our rival who gets the better of us. If the last year was a Hollywood movie about Pompey, you'd be the main bad guys.
I must admit, when the fixtures were announced at the start of the year, I hoped we'd clinch promotion against you. More than anything, though, I'd be happy for us both to go up so we can continue the "rivalry" next year. Football's always more interesting when there's a few years of backstory.

Good post. The TV Company must think the same way, as our games have bought us both extra revenue over the years. Unfortunately for yourselves, you've not bounced back as dramatically and quickly as perhaps some of your fans predicted or Sports copywriters would have hoped. It can take a while for some big Clubs to realise just how bad things have got and for just where they are to sink in (Coventry possibly the next example). Once that happens, as it has with you, success is just relative, 3 points against Accrington are more important than hoping for a draw at Arsenal.
We've obviously never reached your heights and our fall from grace not as dramatic, but pretty much share the sentiment. I'm sure there's still fans of both our teams that still believe we're too good for this league and being this low still hasn't sunk in. I hope we both go up (but wont worry if you dont), it'll provide us both with the yardstick to compare progression.
Pompey need to go up soon before the great support begins to dwindle, the longer you stay in a league the greater the loss of novelty factor for everyone else. Interest in you will wane and you'd become just another L2 Club. Quite probably, next season Channel 5 will have a love in with Coventry and not you

The 2.30pm kick-off makes this interesting and awkward.
Promotion might be decided on other results on Good Friday meaning we'll have to wait 30 minutes to confirm.
If this is the case will Argyle fans be allowed to stay in the stadium to celebrate and will the players come back out to join in the celebrations?
