I have no interest in watching Liverpool. I only go to HP to watch Argyle.
Strange.
You know Argyle will be playing, right?

I also go to HP to watch Argyle and I will be there on Sunday, I would have been there whoever they were playing.
Clearly the Millwall game is far more important in the grand scheme of things but to not go to see your team face top opposition - whoever they put out - in a competitive game I think is, as I say - strange.

If you can’t sit back and just at the very least enjoy this as game against me of the top teams on the world, then I don’t know what to say.

Play our best team, let them have an experience they can look back on as a great memory of their career, and some of you are calling for the kids to be played. 🙄

Your choice. I was making the point that some “Argyle “ fans are clamouring to get tickets only because we are playing Liverpool. The FA cup is no longer the competition it was and is literally pointless. The league is what it’s all about

You can bet your life that every Argyle player will be desperate to play against Liverpool. They will see it as an extremely important game.
I can't wait. Honestly if you can't get excited about playing probably the best side in world football right now, then I feel sad for you.

I will watch it on television and hopefully we will put on a good performance and win but I am more concerned about the Millwall game. I have little interest in watching Liverpool who will treat the competition with a fair bit of contempt by not playing a full strength team. A glorified friendly in some respects.

It’s not a glorified friendly by any stretch. It’s worth loads of money to us. You are the one treating the competition with contempt.

Our players going toe to toe with the best of the best
What a day it will be for them
So pleased for our players that they get this opportunity that they probably dream of during their respective playing careers (y)(y)

I don’t get it either.

Like it or not we are a smaller club within the top 2 leagues in the country and this is an opportunity to pitch ourselves against the best team in the country in front of the whole world.

I support Argyle for ‘the moments’ as let’s face it we don’t support them because of the glory of winning every week do we?

It’s a great opportunity to showcase Plymouth Argyle to prospective players and investors. I actually feel sorry for the fans that are looking forward to Millwall more which will have a rubbish atmosphere in comparison as they won’t bring many fans. Once we’ve played Liverpool us fans can move on, but the hell not enjoy it until then?
Don’t feel sorry for us. We have got our priorities right. I am more concerned about our players getting injured than the result. We all want Argyle to win but it is only a cup game and in the grand scheme of things is an unwelcome distraction.

I would challenge the thoughts of those who think that the Liverpool game is an 'unwelcome distraction'. I think the opposite, that it is a welcome distraction. My reasoning is that we will get unparalleled exposure not only nationally but all around the world. Why does that matter?

On Sunday morning, as some have already said, Colin Murray will be featuring 'The Janner Song' on his Sunday morning 5Live radio show. He has a regular slot for football anthems and their association with a particular club. Many go back decades or even over a century. Colin is a fan of Argyle as he correctly refers to us and even though on Sunday his allegience might be elsewhere. 'The Janner Song' was first played v Pompey in March 2022. Schuey and Nance went to the 'Field of Dreams' play put on by the GTs earlier in 2022 and were both moved to tears, as was everyone who was lucky enough to see it, by Rick and Dave giving full voice to the song, so familiar from the legendry performances at the GTs Fans Fests.

For me The Janner Song is the embodiment of our rise from the dark days of 2011 when we were so close to going out of business in August of that year and all hope of survival had all but evaporated. Thankfully the joint efforts of Jame Brent, Vivien Pengelly and the Council , Gary and the GTs, Chris and the Trust, Sue Pollard (Fan of the Year), Pasoti and of course the magnificent Green Army ensured we had a club to rebuild. Despite a hiccup where we nearly went out of the League v Rochdale the climb back although uneven has accelarated under the guardianship of Simon and Jane. Sunday gives us all the chance to sing 'The Janner Song' with even more passion, volume and outstretched hands - when you do so think of those who helped us to get where we are now, but also, and poignantly, to those that are sadly no longer with us to witness it. Let the nation and the world know what we are about. After that the game may well be secondary although to misquote an Anfield legend, 'I would love it' if against all odds we could get a result although in reality I would be elated if we could just score.

Thanks for this Graham. I will be singing it loud as usual. I think many fail to see it's significance to our club's history and treat it a bit like Warnocks Simply the Best and Holloways Build me up Buttercup as an unwelcome intrusion on history and good taste. But the Janner song is our history and a reminder of the tightrope walked to realise our "ambition"

Just dreaming of an Argyle win but will take any result so long as we don't get thrashed. I'll be missing the Millwall game as I'm away so my final fix of Argyle for 2 weeks. Can't wait for Sunday.

We are all different. I think the Janner Song is simply a bad song - it did not grow organically from the stands and was not a song naturally adopted by the stands - it has been imposed somewhat artificially by a very loud PA. Unlike the great football anthems the fans do not sing it spontaneously.

I think it is like short term anthems of the past and will not stand the test of time. I think this is shown by the fact even now most people cannot bring themselves to or do not know most of the lyrics and just join in the "Janner" bit.

I find the idea of it being played on national radio a bit cringe-worthy and will re-enforce the idea that we are rather daft yokels.

I agree with that, 'I am sailing' 'Build me a buttercup' etc etc, all 'given' to us by PAFC.

Our anthem will one day come from the terraces, as yet, it hasn't
