I'm saying you've got the hang of this Paul Sturrock-speak, haven't you Egon, I'm saying. Well, I cannae quite work it all out. Three weeks ago, I saw us draw 0-0 away at Wycombe Wanderers, and I'm saying we were lucky to get nil, I'm saying.
Since then we've stuffed Tranmere 6-0, Bristol City 4-0 and Port Vale 5-1 away. And I'm saying, it's the same team. The only difference, I'm saying, has been the return of old poncey boots (david friio) in midfield. But I'm saying I've been told it's all down to confidence, and just that now we're wanting to pass the ball to feet and attack and everything we try is coming at the moment, I'm saying.
I'm saying this is all bound to come to an end on Wednesday when I go to Hillsborough to see us play Wednesday. Still, I'm saying seeing over 2000 away fans in the Second Division might surprise 'em.

Every time I manage Plymouth on CM3, David Friio has a benny at me and walks out of the club.

Ach, well, but ye've got to remember for us going to Hillsborough is *like* the Premier League. I'm saying I was excited about going to play QPR at Loftus Road last season, I'm saying. And if we hadn't just scored 15 goals in the last 3 games, I'm saying anything over 1000 at Hillsborough wouldn't exactly have been unexpected but still would have been thought of as doing quite well.
I'm saying CM3 must have had Friio down as 'stereotypical temperamental Frenchman', B. Although for me what happened was he had an indifferent season, the board took a dislike to him and insisted I got rid of him. There's a great quote from him in real life... "When first I came to England, I was worried about my diet. You know, as a Frenchman you are concerned about the kind of food you eat, the effort you put into its preparation... now, it's easy for me - beans on toast, no problem"
Frii-o... Fri-ii-ii-oo... he gets the ball and he scores a goal...

"I'm saying CM3 must have had Friio down as 'stereotypical temperamental Frenchman'"
I'm saying do you think they got Friio mixed up with Ginola.
Friio's saying, "Beans on toast. Because I'm worth it..."

I'm saying we... are... top of the league, I'm saying we are top of the league!
Argyle 3 Wednesday 1. Friio scored twice, by the way. Almost certainly 2000 Argyle there - wa-hey!
