What ‘unpopular opinion’ do you have?

I never rated Larrieu and I had my heart in my mouth every time he kicked the ball.
His best games were under Sturrock Mk1 when he benefited from having superb defenders in front of him.
I was always happier when McCormick was in goal instead.

Dan McCauley received a lot of unfair criticism.
I never really took to Tommy Tynan, I always thought he could have scored more than he actually did!
I'd say the exact and probably equally unpopular opposite of this.
I thought Holloway was supremely overrated. He was at Argyle for barely a season and even when he left, most of our key players were ones he'd inherited from Sturrock and Pulis. The style of play was built around scrappers (Timar, Wotton, Nalis, Norris, Hayles - this was the manager who forced out Buszaky and spent big money on Rory Fallon) and led us a mere three places higher than Tony Pulis managed after taking over from Williamson mid-season
Had he stuck around, I don't think it would have made any difference to the club's subsequent trajectory.
Not only unpopular, but also with the benefit of hindsight pretty much completely wrong, but I thought Bjarni Gudjonsson should have been a lynchpin in the team.
I still have a weirdly fond memories of him.

The Devonport end should be made the away end
People who moaned pre season about data analytics helping to identify transfer targets need to accept that football isn’t the same game they were watching growing up.
I can't stand that Pompey video with the Titanic music. It's badly edited and the music adds nothing.
Also can't stand that people always hark back to that Peter Hartley goal as some sort of life highlight. It ultimately served no purpose once we'd lost at Wembley. It's like losing your head over being 2-0 up at half time only to lose 3-2 in 90 minutes.
Other unpopular opinions:
Martin Barlow was our best player of the 90s
Aside from being a really good shot-stopper, Romain Larrieu wasn't that good. His kicking in particular was woeful.
Warrens pasties are the best pasties.
The fans-fest is cringeworthy. I've been and the people there seem to have a load of fun, but it ain't for me.
The green we've sported since 2001 IS "Argyle" green. Get over it.
The red blob wasn't that bad. Bond Timber and LTC Powered Access looked far worse.
Puma make decent shirts.
I like music being played before the match.

I think people will always remember the fact that we were mostly a very ugly playing team when we won promotion in 2017. Many people said it was the least exciting promotion ever. And we were abysmal for the first half of 17/18. It was only when Carey, Lameiras and Taylor clicked, that we were suddenly entertaining. But we went back to being utter carp again in the relegation season. 15/16 we were alright though but fell short at the last hurdle and we were woeful at Wembley.
Always hated goal music. Even when we were losing and scoring a consolation goal they'd play the damn music
I have to admit I was a bit of a dinosaur 4 or 5 years ago but am pleased to say I am down wiv the kids now.
