My attempt at some arty-farty type pics during yesterday's ride. Plymouth looking like a young Marlon Brando waiting to explode in either rage or joy. "HEY SALTRAM!!!" As Tennessee Williams wrote...

The typo of Hole Park is very apt for our defence.

If he is I hope he's been asked to swing by and pick other defenders on the way down.

We did throw July away.

We have to and should have already. The neglect and retention of most of last season's defence is masochistic.

Bimbled around getting a keeper, failed at signing a starting striker and what looked like in early pre-season a proactive window is turning into a mad scramble again.

To slightly rewrite a quote from Nightmare City - "As for our transfer plan, we'll follow emergency plan H and keep plan B in reserve in case the situation gets out of hand." Someone give Earl Jean a fucking call he might fancy a game! #pafc

I wouldn't discount it, we have/are largely stuck with the shambles of last season's defence who should see as little of the ball as is possible and no one obviously with the knack to even dig us out of holes with goals. Currently.

Kind of admire our ability to repeat an undercooked Pre-Season and transfer window, followed by a defensive shambles against a Yorkshire team on the opening day overseen by a former Man Utd and Everton player. I know history repeats but shouldn't be that bloody quick. #pafc

Penguin books 90th birthday made me dig out these Professor Branestawm books. Useful as research for when I paraded around as the Prof in various parks way back in 2011.

I put a cheeky bid on relegation last month. Ya never know!

Bizarre that the one striking option he has is on it. Hopefully it's been something they've worked on for a week and not the last 24 hours.

I assume Cleverley is going with a nostalgic homage to Roma's striker-less system under Spalletti. Totti clone being worked on in the lab. #pafc

League One 2025-26 season preview: Club-by-club guide to new campaign BBC Sport's local correspondents break down the hopes and concerns of all 24 teams across League One before Friday's campaign curtain-raiser.

For whatever my opinion is worth, as the squad stands right now I'm getting mid table vibes.

Yes no.9 is needed, but the defence looks weak. Quite liking midfield now but they can't do it all.

I think this will be a frustrating team. #pafc

Watching Remembrance of the Daleks for the umpteenth time since first transmission, the throw away Quatermass reference by Pamela Salem and Karen Gledhill is beautifully done and a small delight in a story filled with great moments. #DoctorWho

Dang it! I need a sub-editor clearly haha. Thank you Mark!

Clubs like us and Exeter would not unsurprisingly partially be a reflection of the dominant financial powers in both cities - Exeter the Uni, us the Navy but now being increasingly rivalled by our Uni. What any great shift in the latter would do to Argyle could be interesting. #pafc

Interesting observation from Exeter City president Julian Tagg in an excellent @theblizzard.bsky.social article (#56) and not one I particularly disagree with. "Navy" here could also be a euphemism for "More working class". Being from & still in Plymouth and worked in Exeter for 20 years... #pafc

Dwight Muhammed Qawi might have been short for his weight classes but he took them on.

Saad Muhammad X2, Holyfield X2, Leon & Michael Spinks and George Foreman! Sadly though another who went on too long.

But left a legacy outside the ring by helping others.

Whilst some advocating for ex-strikers we missed a trick by not bringing back the ultimate pre-season goal getter Lee Power. Boy could he bang them in against regional division sides.

Did bugger all in the league, left for Halifax in Dec of that season and scored against us in a win. #pafc

Xavi Hernandez and Pep Guardiola 'applications' for India job a hoax Applications supposedly from Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez to manage India have both turned out to be hoaxes, the country's football association says.

They actually mistook my head shot for Guardiola which is easily done and my nickname is Chavvy Hernandez. So gissa job?

Some takes from tonight;

Still need an imposing striker.

Think this defence will be out muscled and out-pressed in games.

Start quicker.

The front/attacks are starting to click.

In Wiredu it's the first time in years we have a CM with presence, bite and a drive forward. #pafc

I was cool between 2000-03 thanks to text alerts on my 3310.

Broke my "No Pre-Season Games" rule after 5 years. Just fancied a trip out so hello Torquay 👋🏼

Bring on the head scratching "Who is that?" as one squints into the sunshine and multiple substitutions. #pafc

YouTube video by Black Sabbath BLACK SABBATH - "N.I.B." from The End (Live Video)

Ozzy Osbourne was a deeply complicated man who went to extremes in his behaviour towards himself and others.

But one thing that cannot be denied is he was the voice of the most important band when it comes to those of us who love metal in all its forms. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I might get Sheridan or Ciftci on mine with 0 as a homage to their goal tally with us.

Don't know off the top of my head. Does feel like the longest in some time without any.

Tom Cleverley happy not to have large squad at Argyle The Pilgrims will have an in-house 11 versus 11 practice game tomorrow ahead of their final two pre-season fixtures against Torquay United and Bristol City next week

I get the sentiment and don't particularly disagree but a couple of the squad have a prominent injury history which is a big gamble with small numbers.

I'm also enjoying the absence of loans so far, never comfortable seeing them as regulars. #pafc

Interval of an A-level production of Cabaret, cast were encouraged to mingle in character to keep the night club vibe going.

Nature called! I as Cliff Bradshaw ended up at a urinal with the Lord Mayor of Plymouth in full regalia on my left & Robert Lenkiewicz on my right. Eye contact made only.

As the Sil Swinkels rumour was utter rubbish, we should go for Sy Snootles.

Loves to lead the front line (but needs a good tight backing) and anyone prepared to perform under the pressure of Jabba the Hutt watching can perform at Home Park easily. No. 9 incoming. #pafc

My house warming present has arrived. Also one is starting to cook up an idea around this subject... Mwahahahahahaha #horror #videonasty 👻💀😈🧟‍♂️ 🦇

Chelsea win Club World Cup: Donald Trump stays on stage with players for trophy lift Chelsea's Club World Cup celebrations in New Jersey were shared with an unexpected guest - US President Donald Trump.

Warms your heart doesn't it?

The club that kicked off sports washing in England & still benefit from it winning this abomination which is acting as further sports washing from the lickspittle Infantino. A loop of shit that makes this sport difficult to defend or love.
