Thank God they chose Argyle... it's the one thing about the club that constantly makes me smile.

I was spotted in Disneyworld with my Argyle shirt on by John Lloyd and he shouted Green Army!

this thread is on the ARGYLE discussions board. 
mind you the Plymouth discussions board would have a strangely familiar ring to it

Most supporters of clubs with a suffix refer to their team by that suffix:
Manchester City: Citeh
Aston Villa: Villa
Leyton Orient: Orient
Crewe Alexandra: Alex
Oldham Athletic: Latics
Exeter City: Chinos

It’s match day, so a chorus or two of; ‘Argyle (Argyle) – Come on you boys in green…..’ will probably be sung in the Devonport End :scarf:
Although it will never happen – I reckon this chant would be good if the Devonport End could start this off and block 14 followed it up. Always remember going to Southampton’s ground and their supporters chanting like this, from corner to corner - sounded very impressive.
Anyway (back on track) … Argyle or Plymouth Argyle it definitely is … saying I support Plymouth (in a footballing sense) just doesn’t sound right.

Green Army strikes me as relatively recent. Don't remember it before 90's (0r poss late 80's). Seemed to first start elsewhere with 'manager's name colour army chant'. Can't remember it being around for Waiters or Ciderman's teams. Those days were more Molly Malone and Oggi, Oggi, Oggi ( before Max Boyce picked up on the latter). Not sure if Noddy would have shouted Green Army but could easily be wrong.
Always have been and always will be Argyle (or Super Argyle to Super Womble)!

If you've got to ask you'll never know.
Funny though, people have mentioned the 'United' and 'Cities', but both used the Manchester versions as examples and I reckon if you asked anybody on a Saturday night how United or City 'got on' they would generally think you were referring to the Manchester clubs - possibly not in a place where the local team was United or City I guess.
Personally, I find it annoying to hear us referred to as Plymouth by locals, but can sort of understand it on a national level. The only clubs with unique names that are usually referred to by their suffix are either bigger clubs (e.g. 'Forest', 'Villa)), ones where there are two clubs in the same city ('Wednesday') or ones where the first name isn't actually a place ('Palace', 'Vale').
