  • 2025/26 Season Review
    May 11 2026

    Alex Hinde hosts Archie and Tom for a deep-dive review of Argyle’s utterly chaotic 2025/26 season.


    From the summer overhaul and the appointment of Tom Cleverley, to a squad seemingly built for multiple systems at once, the trio work through the key moments that shaped one of the most bizarre seasons in recent Argyle history.


    They discuss the early-season collapse, the departures of key off-field figures, the atmosphere around Home Park during the darkest moments of the campaign, and the truly unexpected return of Derek Adams. There’s also a look at the tactical reset which transformed Argyle’s fortunes, Bim Pepple’s remarkable rise, and the late-season surge which somehow left the Greens minutes away from the play-offs on the final day.


    Most of all, the episode asks the big question: how exactly did Tom Cleverley survive, and how did Argyle go from looking broken in November to one of the form teams in the division by spring?


    Even by Argyle standards, this was a truly bonkers season.

  • Eighth That a Shame
    May 2 2026

    It’s all over. The large opera singer has sung. Summer is here. It feels worse than a pulsating win, but win we did. So for the last time this season, Archie is joined by Chris, Mark and Tom to review a chaotic League One afternoon in an equally chaotic one parter.


    Anyone in the typical Argyle camp would have been their central element after a counter attack and an absolute worldie (hate that word) saw Argyle 2-0 down. The nerves in the stands, at home, watching on phones translated to the pitch with some world class balls over the stands and clunky moves had everyone worried. But it started to turn, slowly, and yet again a set play played its part in starting a turnaround and by half time its 2-2 and all to play for. With other results: it’s as you were…


    To a seasoned fan, the second half felt less about the game on the field and more about results elsewhere. A Northampton sending off - FFS we hate playing 10 men - and a great goal to take the lead but all attention turns to Bolton and to Stevenage as time slowly started to slow down. 90th minute, it’s happening. 97th, Stevenage have scored a ghost goal, Luton are winning and we are all back to earth with a bump. Ugh.


    In amongst that there is a debate about the future of Tom Cleverley, the mini renaissance of Xavier Amaechi, the part played by a resilient home crowd, the Teletext refresh of other results. But it just wasn’t to be. Next stop an actual play off for the women’s team.


    A huge thank you to everyone who has listened in a rollercoaster season. It really means the world, to all of us who host, join and edit the Pilgrims Podcast . Join us for some summer specials, August will come around before you know it, small matter of a World Cup to keep us warmed up. Derek wheeling and dealing. Lots to be excited about.

  • Ben Win - Part Two
    Apr 28 2026

    Welcome back! Part Two starts with the Fans Forum fallout, and then, to the play offs - with the women’s team securing a place and the men’s team in the mix going into the final day, it’s still - still - an exciting time. Will others help us out? Will we show up? Will we - ultimately - make it?


    A quick random review of THAT 2004 QPR game and what all it meant tees things up for a week of wait and see. Only another 5 days until we find out.
