The term ‘relegation six-pointer’ gets thrown around a lot these days but it really was the case for the game on Saturday, when Plymouth Argyle travelled to Hampshire to face Aldershot Town. With the Pilgrims placed precariously above the relegation zone and one point worse off than their hosts before kick-off it was all too clear [...]

When a football club appoints a new manager it often brings about a time of upheaval. New backroom staff and players come in, new tactics and formations are utilised and, as is so often the case, the new man at the helm wins his first game in charge. Thankfully, John Sheridan and his Plymouth Argyle side [...]

The sacking of Carl Fletcher following a 2-1 defeat at Bristol Rovers came as no real surprise to any Argyle fan. A dismal run of just one win in 15 games has seen the Greens plummet down the table and lie precariously above the relegation zone. What was strange though was after the initial sense of [...]

It’s been a strange few weeks at Plymouth Argyle. First the club announced that it would be looking to appoint a Director of Football to aid manager Carl Fletcher. At the time Argyle had not won in nine games and most Argyle fans were calling for Fletcher’s head. The news of the club wanting to appoint [...]

I’m going to start this by saying that I think Carl Fletcher is a great guy, a top bloke, and I believe that he genuinely cares about Plymouth Argyle. He showed great commitment to stick with us through the administration years as a player and did a marvellous job keeping us in League Two last season as manager. [...]

As I sat down on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago to watch the FA Cup First round draw, I found myself fearing the worst, imagining what pain the grand old competition would inflict on us this season. In recent years the worlds most famous cup competition has been far from kind on Plymouth Argyle. [...]

About a week ago there was clear division between the fans of Plymouth Argyle. The Pilgrims had crashed to a dismal 2-1 home defeat by AFC Wimbledon and were only 3 points clear of the relegation zone in 19th place. The pressure was clearly growing on Carl Fletcher as many fans opted to boo the side [...]

It is a sign of the times when at half-time of Plymouth Argyle’s home game against AFC Wimbledon two fans of different opinions got into such a heated debate they seem destined to settle it with the use of fists. After a dismal first-half performance, Argyle were booed by sections of the crowd as the whistle [...]

Well over 300 miles separate Morecambe’s Globe Arena from Plymouth Argyle’s Home Park, but for the 358 members of the Green Army that made the long journey up North on Saturday it was worth every mile. Carl Fletcher opted to start the team in a 4-4-2 formation for this game, something which shocked many people and [...]

How on earth did that happen? After what was probably the best 45 minutes of football seen at Home Park for a good few years giving Argyle a deserved 1-0 half time lead over Port Vale, the Pilgrims then appeared to press the self destruct button in the second half and gift the game to the [...]

On Saturday evening I asked Argyle fans when was the last time the Pilgrims came from behind to win a game at Home Park. Nobody could actually give me the answer as it is simply so long ago. After searching through various Argyle websites and rifting through my own memory I found out for myself. The [...]

It’s a strange old game, football. After putting in a dismal display at Dagenham on the Tuesday prior to our game at Oxford, I came away saying that we will play much better than that on occasions yet lose. My point was proven a little earlier than I had hoped, as Argyle lost 2-1 at the [...]

Plymouth Argyle fell to defeat on the opening day of the season for the first time in 10 years this weekend, as they went down 2-0 to Aldershot Town at Home Park. After Tuesday’s convincing victory over Portsmouth in the Capital One Cup Argyle manager Carl Fletcher named an unchanged starting line-up and bench as he [...]

Your average cup of tea usually spends longer in the cup than Plymouth Argyle do, for whom most seasons a cup game means little more than just making up the numbers before doing our customary exit in the first round. But not this season. It goes to show how dreadful our record really is in the [...]

As I stood inside the Tesco in Dorchester, paying for the energy drink that I hoped would pull me out of the bewilderment that came with just watching Plymouth Argyle lose 5-0 in a pre-season friendly to Yeovil Town, I was tapped on the back. I turned around to see a middle-aged man dressed in Yeovil [...]

After three weeks of silence, news is suddenly flowing out of Plymouth Argyle on an almost daily basis. This week we have been treated to the news that Carl Fletcher and his staff will continue their managerial work next season, an announcement that the club has already sold over 3000 memberships for next season and the [...]

A neutral football fan will look at the final standings of the 2011/12 Npower League Two table and see that Plymouth Argyle finished in 21 st place with 46 points. This, to a neutral, will probably seem like an underachievement for the club as they only escaped relegation by two points. But to The Pilgrims and their [...]

And so the curtain has come down on a season to remember for Argyle fans. With battles won on and off the field this season, it was almost inevitable that an ex-player that encapsulated everything bad about the past three years came back to remind us just how far we have come. Steve MacLean was one [...]

After months… no, years worth of pain, financial turmoil, relegation’s and general depression surrounding Home Park the rot has finally, amazingly, perfectly and blissfully been stopped. After back to back relegation’s amid a lengthy administration, Plymouth Argyle found themselves starting this season in League Two and before ten games had even been played, we had been [...]
