Impossible. We've deliberately recruited loads of phenomenal characters haven't we?

The crowd tonight will be significantly higher than the amount of season tickets sold this summer. She's made her choice. Flitcroft over fans.

I dread to think how many points we've dropped from winning and drawing postions when he's come on as a sub. It's quite a few.

They've won 2 in 20. He's doing a good job though.

Bottling <ovf censored> cowards. Sorry, phenomenal cowards.

5/6 games are going our way at the minute, and the 6th is currently a draw so not the end of the world. <ovf censored> come on!

Biggest 45 mins since the second half at Wembley 🤞

That's a great result. Carlisle are gone already and Burton have a horror run in.

Get in. Great finish.

Yes. Carlisle signed 2 strikers and a winger. Fleetwood signed 2 strikers. Cheltenham signed 2 strikers, one then promptly scored against us the other week, assisted by a CM signing. Charlton signed 1 striker as well as 3 PL players and 3 from the championship. Cambridge signed 2 strikers. Burton signed 3 strikers from the PL and a 4th from the Championship.

That's not really the endorsement you think it is. Who cares what things were like 36 years ago, it's 2024 mate.

Just looked it up. They were deducted a point in August and 3 in September, so 38 must be the unadjusted figure. So now they're on 36 after today's 2 point deduction announcement, and shortly will be on 34 if the fine isn't paid, + any points they pick up from games in the meantime.

I trust the source for the £75k claim. When was the last time Vale disclosed a transfer fee? She was on RS in Dec 22 gushing about how quote amazing the fans are. 16,000 shirts sold. Great ST sales after promotion. All those youth players sold for 'record fees', they couldn't wait to get that in the press. Where's the money going?

Are they on 38 or are all the various tables not yet updated and they're on 36 now? Hopefully the latter. 34 after that points pending deduction would put them 20th as it stands.

Assumption, not fact. The club have said several times there is money available, we're open to free agents. We need a LWB and ST in January, DF said. He failed to bring anyone in despite there being money available. Meanwhile January window signings ----- Burton ----- Hackford ST Sheff Utd loan Hugill ST Man Utd loan Ola-Adebomi ST Palace loan Hudlin ST Huddersfield loan Leko RW Franchise loan Bola LB Rotherham loan Nsiala CB free agent 4 strikers, 3 from the PL including Man Utd, 1 from the championship ----- Cambridge ----- Taylor ST Wycombe free Bonne ST Gillingham loan Gibbo RWB Rovers loan ----- Carlisle ----- Armstrong ST Harrogate paid Kelly ST Rotherham released Diamond LW Sunderland loan ----- Cheltenham ----- Taylor ST FGR free Nuttall ST Oldham loan Harrop CAM free agent ----- Exeter ----- Eisa ST Franchise loan Harris CAM Fulham loan ----- Fleetwood ----- Taylor ST FGR free Nuttall ST Oldham loan Harrop CAM free agent Should I go on? 35 PL players were loaned to L1 clubs in the Jan window, 7 are strikers. Did those clubs need DF to sign those players? Fleetwood signed 5, and Burton signed 3 on their own including Joe Hugill from Man Utd. DF's own words - 19 of those 35 players went to smaller clubs than Vale. Wycombe, Fleetwood, Burton etc. "when players have the likes of Derby to choose from" doesn't stack up if it was an answer to the question why did we not bring any strikers in. We actually lost 4 players in net terms!

L1 Relegation spots reduced to 3 if HMRC wind them up

I take it you didn't go the Lincoln home game 😆

The rumour is that Loft was £75k. In one breath you're saying "Rovers wanted rid of Loft for cheap, he doesn't score" implying he was a dire signing, which he was, and in another you're saying "Don't blame Flitcroft for the calibre of his signings." Which one is it?

Bet the capital gains on that is a right bastard!

It isn’t as it’s not the first time 🤣

I have genuinely never seen the fans of any other club exhibit the defeatism and self-deprecating views I have seen from Vale fans on social media over the years. It's like that "born in Crewe, live in Crewe, die in Crewe" banner but worse.
