Who cares about the Premier League....The Championship is my goal for Argyle....if we get there it will be a hell of an achievement. Only 1 League away now. :scarf:
I do, very much. If don't get there in my lifetime I'll consider it a major disappointment.
Clubs like Blackpool, Swansea, Bournemouth, Hull, Wigan, Huddersfield, Swindon, Portsmouth, Cardiff, Barnsley, Bradford and Oldham have all reached the promised land. Some of those have far grander histories than Argyle but in modern times you wouldn't describe any of them as being significantly bigger clubs than us.
A total of 65 different clubs have spent time in the top flight of English football. Sixty-five! And many of them from smaller cities than Plymouth. It should be a source of considerable embarrassment and regret that we've never managed even a single season up there.
I saw the Brentford manager on telly the other day and thought how impressive it would be if they made it up this season for the first time ever. Then I checked and learned that Brentford have actually spent five seasons in the top flight. Bloody Brentford!
Someone should get a priest out to Home Park to bless the four corners of the pitch because I'm convinced we're cursed. It's the only explanation.
