  1. He'd have more a chance now with his Port Vale record behind him. I'd want to be out of it if I were him. Same with Carol, why not just enjoy your life?
  2. No, but I were him I'd be looking for another job.
  3. Has he ever won the treble, has he fu*k. Has he ever won the treble, has he fu*k. Has he ever won the treble, like Phil and Gary Neville. Has he ever won the treble, has he fu*k.
  4. Time is more precious than money and even though it's free you will never regain the time you lose from your life.
  5. Good luck to our Valiants tonight, I hope Moore hasn't sapped every last ounce of life from them.
  6. We are like them! They've all been relegated from this tier of English football recently and have been bopping between the lower leagues as you'd expect. Lincoln have even been out of the football league entirely in recent years. Are we in a position where we want to replace the director of football every time we get relegated from the third tier now? If we want to be more like Northampton Town we'll be going through quite a few of them as they're up and down like Tower Bridge.
  7. Yeah, I think the club have definitely contributed to raising fan expectations to daft levels.
  8. No excuse not to have kicked on! We finished 18th last year, do you expect us to be a lot higher than that? How many years is it until you expect us to be in the Champions League? Expectation seems out of control which is probably partly be down to the club PR machine. Some of the stuff on here recently is bonkers.
  9. I disagree. I used to be a moron, now I'm sensible. We can't expect to finish 14th in League One. It is a lot to ask to expect to overacheive year after year, we can hope for it but we can't expect it. When we're at this level, as things stand, we will have seasons where we struggle and some of those will end up with us relegated. It might happen this year, if it doesn't it will happen another year. That's football and that's Port Vale.
  10. If everyone expects us to be soaring high in League One, as they seem to, then surely promotion from League Two has to be a banker?
  11. Either I'm going mad or everyone else is. I'm worried it's me. Am I mad?
  12. That's football for you. I think we're better off without Smurthwaite, the club has come/is coming on leaps and bounds from those dark days. I would like us to finish higher up this league again, top half even, but I certainly don't expect it at the moment. Being in League One is achieving, I hope we can survive for at least another year and have another go at it. That day at Fleetwood was one of the lowest points of my life and that was a day that I was lucky to come through unscathed. I think it damaged me immeasurably. It felt to me like Port Vale was dying back then, whereas now our future is bright.I am also a more content with life generally which has an impact on how I view things. I have come to terms with the fact that I am a nobody, that I always will be, and that my life is completely pointless and I am so much happier for it.
  13. It will be a disappointing season but I think we have expect that we're likely to be in and around the relegation mix in this league at the moment unless we overachieve, which is what we should be aspiring to do. Last season we did well. According to Matt Hancock in his Baggers interview our income streams put us below League One. The furore about us struggling in this league just seems a bit over the top, it is hardly outrageous. I think the club are doing a lot of good things and we'll hope to reap the rewards in the medium to long term. Things are getting better. There's a lot that's not perfect, we've made mistakes with recruitment (but I think it has been generally decent under the regime), I think we've now made a mistake with our new manager, and I think it's a mistake to not look at least look at a new ground and get away from the neverending money pit that is Vale Park. I think we just need to be a bit more realistic. The reaction is as though we're heading to non league, I could understand it a bit more if that were the case. I have tried to understand why people are quite so angry about our director of football but I just find it difficult. I'm sorry if I am a bad man for feeling this way but I can't help it.
  14. They must be ready to kill their directors if our fans are anything to go by.
  15. We have more of a chance of getting an Arblaster or Devine now that we're a sensible football club trying to do things properly. Improving and maintaining the pitch and facilities will help. We used to be a complete shambles of a football club owned/ran by con men but we're not in that place anymore. I really think we should have looked at getting a new ground though, there must have been a way.
  16. Moore tried to play Mighten at wing back at Sheffield Wednesday. Bet Mighten can't believe his luck. Comes to Vale form some nogger, we don't use him, then things get even worse and he's got to deal with Mooreball again.
  17. Vale were rubbish. I think the players might still be sulking about Crosby, but they need to snap out of it. It does make you wonder.
