I'm astonished to learn that you wear socks. I had you pegged as a long haired loony with Jesus sandals.

This is it, they are going for it. About a month ago, maybe two I thought that maybe we'd be safe as there would be 4 worse sides than us. I'd say maybe two now, and both have beaten us in their own backyard

Why are you on a vale forum?

What are you even doing on here you sad case. Do one 🖕🏻

I bet your looking forward to coming back down to League One next season

It all has the Bruno Ribeiro season feel about it now. Started really well, played some lovely football at times, home form was great, didn't concede at home the first few matches, replace the loss to Burton with the loss to Coventry at home that season which then started the wheels coming away from the axel, Loft - Martin Patterson, the loss of Arblaster and Devine to the loss of Grant and Alnwick and you could go on...

70 pages, and the best comments were saved until last. I'm with VFiB.

You are correct about Smith not being a captain. Should be Ripley or Garrity for me.

Look on the bright side there will only be 3500 fans queuing up at the portaloos for a dump at half time next year 💩😁🤣

Charlton went down early and trained at Everton in preparation for the Bolton game. They are throwing money at it every way they can.

No WE dont. Just you for some unknown reason

We know, now leave us alone.

Do one you sad bastard

Desmond Tutu (2-2), so one and a half.

1.5 Desmonds, surely 😉

At the moment we are averaging one point per game. a third of the season still to go. As bad as we’ve been, if we replicate that, it means 46 points. Just add another 4 points and I feel we would have enough. I know it’s easier said than done but win 6 draw 2, lose 7, it can be done!

Just listened to the latest DF Podcast, confirmed my thoughts from the fans forum. DF speaks with confidence and conviction and could easily "talk the hind legs off a donkey" so to speak. However, having met many people in industry over the last 40 years who spoke in a similar vain when promising the earth and trying to re-invent the wheel, I am left feeling very sceptical indeed. This could be due to my lack of self belief or could be due to many years experience of similar characteristics and living in the real world. He talks of Crosby being set targets and not meeting them. Who set DF's targets - Carol? If so it seems that these were of a financial (profit based) nature rather than success in terms of recruitment and success on the pitch (as per Crosby). He again talked of 6/7 scenarios in the January window regarding striker recruitment, mentioning on many occasions that we were "close". If this was the case and the previous 3 windows followed a similar trend, then from around 24-28 attempted signings we made x2 (Thomas/ Taylor). If Crosby failed to deliver on his target which I assume was points by December (say 25 games) then DF has obviously not been set recruitment targets 'on the pitch', merely to maximise current profit via youth on/ off the pitch. Profit from the 'Campus' must be high on his checklist too. I still can't get it out of my head to not recruit a striker of any note in two years - IS FAILURE in anyone's book. Fundamental errors (or a plan to cut costs) have resulted in us having a considerably weaker sqaud in key positions imo. If I'm honest, Ripley, Chislett and OJo have been an improvement but there has been a decline in wing-back positions for sure. I hope I'm wrong and yes, I so want to be but I am yet to be convinced. Darren Moore is a proven manager but he surely will struggle with this squad. Moan over. You reap what you sow in football.

Exactly this. I can only speak for myself, but, when we were beating Everton, Man City, Sjoke, to name but a few, I couldn’t give a flying flamingo about the state of the bogs, or anything else,, other than what we were being treated to on the pitch. Different times, of course, but it all started with Kevin Finneys late winner against Macc, followed by the £3k that Rudgie paid Rhyl, for Mr.Andrew Jones. One day, hopefully when it's not too late, someone with a bit of influence at the club, will get out of bed one morning and say ''Oh yeah, I can see now what will get the fans in to the ground" I can tell them for free, that it isn't to prioritise 3rd party infrastructure, in cart before the horse fashion.

Laughing my socks off. Fans, at least some of them already beginning to get worried by bore -draw ( if you're lucky ) Moore. We kept telling you.........he's incompetent. UTT

there is 3 2s so therefore 3 desmonds mate
