CITY 0 PLYMOUTH 2: Spy in the camp

Shhhh, don't tell anyone you are from Plymouth

After a very pleasant Christmas spent with the Iguana tribe, Boxing Day was time to blow off the cobwebs and watch the City do battle with Plymouth Argyle at Ninian Park.

Sparky and I took a couple of infiltrators today; an old friend from school who had joined the navy straight from school, later settling down in Plymouth, and his Plymouth born and bred son.

On the way down we assured the poor lad that there would be no problems, so long as he did not jump up if Plymouth scored. Fair play to him, he didn’t even smile when they banged two in, taking three points off us.

The two goals were the only interesting moments in an otherwise forgettable 90 minutes from both sides.

Although he kept a poker face throughout, I think the boy enjoyed his first away game with Argyle… so not a bad result.
