Hazard's departure is for the best I think, still young for a keeper and could definitely kick on still. As ever, like to remember the best in departing players and those saves v Liverpool will live long in the memory 💚

To summarise, the club's defence is "we asked the person who's resigned to tell them". Didn't check they'd been informed. Weren't present to take accountability and answer any practicalities. Blame the person who doesn't work here. It took them a day to come up with that. #pafc

In all this discussion about savings by cutting the budget of the women's team, why is nobody addressing that we're paying David Fox presumably quite a lot to do what appears to be absolutely nothing?

Just the latest in a long series of PR own goals that have been going on for years now. What an absolutely scandalous way of communicating with your player. For the love of god, who makes these comms decisions at the club?

That rumoured WC squad would be so disappointing. If true, Tuchel's got to win - or make the final at least - or big questions will be about who was taken and who was left behind. Feels like a continuation of absolutely dire football; if so, it had better be winning football

100% the right call from the EFL. Southampton institutionally engaged in premeditated attempt to gain an illegal, unfair sporting advantage in a knockout game that ultimately was so close that two teams level on points after 46 games couldn't be separated over 180 minutes

Argyle took more away fans to almost every L1 opponent this season: - Cardiff & Argyle + Exeter & Argyle saw both away ends sell out (indicated by black tip), so is an unfair comparison. - Bradford brought one extra fan, but Argyle visited midweek (lighter shaded bar) #pafc

Last year, 95% of fans renewed their season tickets (which would be 10.5/11k). This year a percentage hasn't been announced, but it looks around 82% (10.3/12.5k). Roughly the same number, but a lower share retained compared to the previous three years (all 95%+) #pafc

After the last 15 months, I'm not getting remotely engaged in any speculation about any kind of investment or takeover. If it happens, wonderful. Otherwise, I'm just assuming there's absolutely nothing in any of the rumours

The forecast £10.6m loss will be the largest in Argyle's history. The previous highest reported loss was £5m in 2009. Of course, the losses were far higher in 2010 and 2011, but no accounts were released because of administration #pafc

The Argyle Analyst @argyleanalyst.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
Here's the two graphs that seriously worry me. Our wage spending as a share of turnover is basically static. And yet our losses are MILES up. Both are pre any profit/loss from player trading. There's a massive black hole somewhere, and it's not the playing squad #pafc

Very glad to be ahead, but both sides are making this is a very poor game of football thus far

Lorent Tolaj is the eleventh fastest player to reach 20 Argyle goals (32 games) in the club's history, third fastest post-WW2 (behind Carter and Binney), and fastest in the 21st century #pafc

Absolutely nuts that, by 2030, #Italy will have won a single World Cup game in the 24 years since they lifted the trophy in 2006. Of course, that win was against England.

I used to hold this take, but we've been saying this for over a decade, and the losses have just further increased. Cumulative Championship losses have trebled in the past decade. Are we likely to run out of bored, wealthy elites who want clubs for play things?

Not especially surprising that there's been a backlash to price rises and the tickets being released far earlier than usual. I get it from a marketing perspective, but it doesn't scream community club, does it. Let's see what the renewal rates are. 98% in 2024, 95% in 2025. #pafc

Four straight home wins leaves Argyle with an impressive 65% win rate at home in League One since 2021/22, averagine 2.07 PPG. 7/15 losses in that time came in the first half of this season #pafc

I think it's more likely that Roberts starts from the bench tomorrow, but the ideal is that we see Jephcott 2.0. Returns from a short loan at Truro having performed very well and breaks into the first team #pafc

Game plan all wrong so far imo. Stop trying to out-run/muscle them. Slow it down, in Kane we have a quality technical player, why don't we try and use that? No no, let's twat it long and run run run run run... nowhere or backwards

Argyle's away attendance at Reading (2.9k) is set to be the 12th highest since the 2009 visit to Arsenal, the eighth highest excluding cup games. Aside from winning the title at Vale in front of 3.9k fans, Argyle have lost the remaining six games by an average of 3.3 goals #pafc

I'm not conspiratorial, but the financial fans' forum when I was on holiday last September, the financial accounts while my laptop is broken, now these job cuts when I'm on holiday again? Are Argyle scheduling these financial announcements for when I'm not available comment?😂

For the first time in over two years, since winning away at Swansea, Argyle have ended a game with positive goal difference #pafc

I don't believe for a second that Argyle value Pepple at £5-7m. Tbh, I'd be more likely to believe that the value was £500-700k www.sportsboom.us/mls/toronto-...

I think we all suspected that Luton would win this from the moment the EFL reinstated them, exactly the kind of kicking the football gods love to give

Argyle's goal difference (0) is not negative for the first time since the 13th minute of the season, and before that 35th minute of last season #pafc

Pepple's first 12 league apps: 1 goal, 0 assists (375 minutes per goal involvement) Pepple's next 12 league apps: 8 goals, 2 assists (83 minutes per goal involvement) Pepple also has more goals in all comps than any other Luton player this season #pafc

Excellent news given the rumoured release clause of just over £2m is waaaaay below market value (assuming this isn't some mad bluff on the part of the club/true-ish on a technicality of some sort)

On the NL campaign for a third promotion spot, which I'm a supporter of, Carlisle are just the latest club to realise just how hard it is to escape the NL without it. It seems their only route to promotion is now the Play-Offs.

Since Ralls joined: Ralls playing 45m+: P6 W4 D1 L1 | PPG: 2.17 Every other game: P10 W3 D2 L5 | PPG: 1.10 Obviously, Tolaj also a huge absence. No huge surprise that our form has dropped in the absence of our two best players #pafc

Obviously we're not signing Hardie. I don't know how anyone could get their hopes up after this window, last window, and the recent comments by TC. You'll only be dissapointed, surely

Since Schuey left (GD -1), Argyle have ended a game with a positive GD just once (Swansea, A, that first Champ away win). Will that awful run come to an end this season? It's currently -5, having peaked (or troughed, rather) at -13 in early December #pafc

The beauty of it being such a quiet window is that I keep forgetting that we can sign players, thus mostly removing my frustration at our inactivity

The Argyle Analyst @argyleanalyst.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Let alone the fact that Tolaj can't move to the vast majority of clubs due to playing for two teams this season, there's a very credible rumour that Tolaj has a release clause well under £5m anyway...

The arrival of Ralls has transformed our defence and attack, rather predictably. The length of time that Argyle have undervalued this (arguably) most important of positions has driven me mad for the best part of two years. When Ralls plays 45+ mins: P6 W4 D1 L1 F11 A3 #pafc

Late November, Adams said "We've still got money in the budget ... So we can probably take in two players ... before any players that move out." Midway through the window, we're one in, one out, and a transfer profit of c. £800k. Best be a strong end to the window #pafc

Whittaker Jan 23, Azaz Jan 24, Whittaker Jan 25, Mumba Jan 26. Painful month. Expect Mumba will be like Whittaker: needs to escape, rebuild confidence, and play in a system that suits them, and will reap the rewards next season #pafc

Seen a small selection of Fox quotes from today. Fair to say that we'd have never signed Katic with that attitude, to pick the first name to spring to mind. And the one about number nines? Nonsense

Per Lancashire Telegraph, P'boro allegedly paid "around £1million with 3/400K in add-ons" for Harry Leonard. Rovers Xtra claims Argyle made a "bigger last-minute offer". If true, we've sat on £1.5m+ (of the millions in unbudgeted income from 2025) that's been unavailable until the final hours #pafc
