Argyle triumph over Saints

For the second consecutive year, Argyle have emerged unbeaten against Southampton. Last year it was 1 - 1 at Home Park and a 2 - 0 victory away at St Marys whilst this year saw us draw in a goalless encounter away and a 2 - 0 win yesterday.

I am looking forward to going back to school now.

'Tis the season to be jolly. Bright sunshine on a crisp winter's day and the traditional Boxing Day pilgrimage for thousands of the less faithful boosted bums on seats to the highest so far this season. After an uncertain first half-hour, unsurprising after recent form, it was Rory Fallon who lit the Christmas lights with a firm header after a delightful cross from Craig Noone, making his first start for the club today. There was more festive joy after the break: facing the corner flag, Paul Gallagher left two men standing as he charged for the penalty area. Rory Fallon's strike from Gallagher's cut-back hit a defender's arm and the referee awarded a spot kick. A year ago it would have been "step up Paul Wotton", but today it was another local lad who grabbed his opportunity, Luke Summerfield striking a sweet shot into the corner to condemn the Saints to their fourth defeat in a row. So a comfortable if not classic win, but Luggy won't care about that. 'Pointage' was today's name of the game.
