Stefano - Belated commiserations on your team Exeter Red Indians United getting a right royal stuffing in the Convoleted Premier League Farcebowl Play off final on Saturday.

Bet old John Lockyer was shrieking on the commentary even more than usual.

Now for the win double today with Coventry coming up trumps. Personally not that bothered but cant stand John Ayres and Jimmy Giles who for some unknown reason starts laughing inanely on the commentary whenever Exeter score. These **** deserve a day of misery. I mean its only fair - we have it 365 days a year.

Wonder what ridiculous garb Tisdale will be sporting this afternoon?

Perhaps we do mellow with age. Was a time when I would have wished every ill on City and Argyle for that matter especially when we were direct competitors. Now in my 60`s and with City already "literally" out of our league I wish them success today. Really guys who wouldnt want a neighbour from the West Country to take down one from the West Midlands... unless of course you`re from the Midlands.

I must say I've never hated Exeter. Gargoyles, yes, but I've always found Exeter City rather inoffensive and could never understand the chant 'one man went to mow, went to mow a city' and so on....

Good luck City. Life is too short to bear old grudges.

Dont see them as rivals any more, never hated them or Argyle unless we were playing them so good luck. Be nice to see at least a couple of Devon teams doing well

Actually I don't really wish Exeter all the best, with respect to others on this thread. Where was the support from Exeter fans when we thought the club was going under after Paul Cox resigned? I was there when the Green Army/Lord's Taverners came out in force at Plainmoor to sing their hearts out for us. Quite an emotional evening and I would much rather wish Argyle the very best instead of Exeter. I feel sorry for Paul Tisdale who seems to be on his way out after doing a brilliant job.

Dont be too harsh, I seem to recall that in 2015 Exeter City waived their 50% share of the Plainmoor gate receipts for a pre season friendly as a gesture of goodwill.

Actually there were plenty of Greeks there that night as well. They just sensibly decided not to come in the Pop as that was where the Gargs were going.

OK, I stand corrected - I didn't know about those last two facts. Up the Grecians!
