hardly

"I wrote in my last column, a fortnight ago, that "we are approaching a hugely significant match in the history of our great club" and that "we go into it with our future in our own hands." Clearly, after the disappointment of defeat against Reading on Monday evening, that is no longer the case.

But, as Gary Doherty so accurately pointed out after Monday's game, "funny things happen in football". Certainly, many stranger things have happened in this club's great 107-year history than Plymouth beating Barnsley at Home Park on Sunday. And, if that happens, my opening remarks about our destiny being in our own hands, suddenly become true again."

I don't see what more he could really have done with the article. All he's saying is it's not over yet, and if people want to watch the game on Sunday, they can come to Carrow Road to do that. What's wrong with that?
