  • Episode 14 - : From Hope to Hard Reality – Can We Still Believe?
    Aug 31 2025

    From hope to heartbreak in just seven days. After Plymouth Argyle’s long-awaited win against Blackpool and the excitement of new signings, optimism filled Home Park. But a cruel Carabao Cup exit at Swansea on penalties and a crushing 4–0 defeat at Cardiff have left belief hanging by a thread.


    In this episode of Tales from the Block, we step inside the locker room and onto the long coach ride home — hearing the thoughts of players, the reflections of chairman Simon Hallett, and the quiet determination of Kevin Nancekivell. With the transfer window closing at 11 pm on Monday, can Argyle find the reinforcements needed to change their fortunes… or is the fear of back-to-back relegations becoming all too real?


    Some moments are dramatised, but the heart of Argyle beats true. Written and produced by The Crazy Pilgrim for the Block 9 Podcast. #pafc #argyle #football

  • Episode 13 - Perseverance
    Aug 24 2025

    A week away, and chaos unfolds. Argyle stumble to four straight league defeats, the mood around Home Park turns toxic, and chants against the board grow louder. But just when hope seemed lost, three new signings arrive — Alex Mitchell, Mathias Ross, and the long-awaited striker Lorent Tolaj.


    Could perseverance finally pay off? In this week’s Tales from the Block, we relive the Carabao Cup comeback against QPR, the pain of Leyton Orient, and the relief as Tolaj’s debut helps deliver Argyle’s first league win of the season.

  • Episode 12 – Chasing Shadows
    Aug 11 2025

    The search for reinforcements takes another twist as Tom Cleverley’s week starts with disappointment and ends in disbelief. From late-night service station phone calls to a centre-back signing gone spectacularly wrong, Argyle’s recruitment battles play out against the backdrop of open training sessions, mounting injuries, and an away trip to face their former manager at Bolton.


    On the pitch, hopes are high… until two decisive moments leave the travelling Green Army stunned. Off it, Tom’s post-match comments spark debate — was this just frustration talking, or a pointed message aimed higher up the club?


    🎙 Tales from the Block dramatises the week-to-week life around Plymouth Argyle Football Club, blending real events with behind-the-scenes twists. Some events are fictionalised — the passion is always real. #pafc #argyle #plymouthargyle
