Luton score last gasp winner. Not good for Argyle as they are still genuine promotion rivals.

Agreed but if does have other compensations

Freathy, what's the score?

Great result, with added balls for pushing on after the equaliser.

Do they hand out the medals in December now...? I think the aft should cough up for a bronze bust of webby, the reluctant one and Internet Ian , for it was they who saved our club,

Good win today, well done DA and his shrunken band of Pilgrims. Back to the top but Yeovil at home next Saturday, big crowd, we all know what comes next.......

Errrr, no we're not. Silly man.

I seriously underestimated how shit Hartlepool are!! good three points away home from well done Adams and the boys. January is crunch time, will jimmy finally step up to the plate or will it be the same old bullshit? time will tell on that.

Listen mate, you're just one of the last of a very long list of people who've arrived late to the Party and failed completely to understand why parts of ATD is like it is. There may be one or two even three that actively would like to see Argyle fail, but that is completely down to the off-field hierarchy.

The overwhelming majority are delighted we're top, whilst also not losing a grasp of matters that are hugely relevant at the club.

Yes very welcome win over what surely must be by far the worst team in the history of the football league.

Fair points but I think you underestimate how many people here would rather see Argyle lose and say 'I told you so'.

I think our board is inadequate but that is far outweighed by the happiness of seeing Argyle top of the league. Today, it's just good to see us grab an injury-time winner - the rest can wait.

Czarcasm...I get there have been and currently are still issues...my apologies for not signing up before...I don't need to be constantly reminded. But constant negativity....good grief (only from some I might add). Can we please just enjoy the moment..if only for a week. If things go tits up in January then sure lets all have our whinges then. And to have everything I say lead to what the AFT can/should do...well, I guess I just have to put up with that.


I'm not saying there aren't issues, but I don't always want to harp on about them every time. I stand by what I said about finding an unhappy fan at Leicester, Boro, or Burton. Only at Argyle.

Steely, football fans are the same the world over. Argyle are no different then anyone else.

Ok.

Put up or shut up time, name those people that you think want argyle to lose. If you can't then retract that statement.

I have had enough of pious twats whose first reaction is beat their chests about how they know best and if only everyone put our trust in Jimmy...

+1

+2

Top the league-excellent. Spoiled a bit though by the secretary of the Argyle Trust coming on the site with implicit criticism of other peoples opinions and apparently creaming his briefs about a last minute winner at one of the worst teams in the bottom division of English football whilst drawing attention to comparisons with Burton, Middlesbrough and Leicester. Difference between those clubs and Argyle is that two of them are overachieving and the other is about fair to middling-Argyle certainly haven't reached either of those states notwithstanding the result today or the league position. Some of us would be more inclined to respect the AFT representative and his parent body if, instead of apparently cosying up to the powers that be at the club, they started to ask some truly penetrative questions about issues such as infrastructure improvements, the youth set up, medium/long term funding plans etc and whether Mr Brent and his board are in a position to carry Argyle forward to the extent that they actually have a chance of thriving rather than merely surviving should the second tier ever again be reached or whether the "lucky season" referred to awhile back is the only plan currently in place.

Enjoy the win, enjoy the ride.

Troll this site all you like, but what you fail to understand is that this site is full of long standing Argyle fans who are heartily sick of all the shite we've had to put up with over the last 10 years or so, won't blindly accept everything that the clubs propaganda machine pumps out, and aren't sycophantically unquestioning of what we're told; even by the Trust now.

Doom merchants? If that's how you want to label people, but most ATD posters have decades of support behind them and don't need lessons in club loyalty from anyone.

Dates back to when Webby was on here, telling us we must all be friends and us telling him it's a two way street . Anyway, back to my previous point of the AFT secretary naming those on here that "would rather see argyle lose and say "I told you so" ' or retracting that statement.

Naming Freathy btw is too easy and also very very wrong

I think steel cannon needs to show a bit more "metal" or maybe he has "shot his load" over being top at Xmas. Let's see Jimmy sells in January before we get the but ting out eh? But let's see who the doom merchants are first. As you were Cannan....
