2025/26 Season Review

About this episode

A deep-dive review of Argyle’s chaotic 2025/26 season, discussing key moments and transformations.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
