Doubtful if we could have afforded him, probably his agent wanted his holiday money out of us.Still what you never have you never miss as the saying goes.

It was probably George Best and Bill Bell put a word in!

I expect it was all going well until he told Norman how much money he wanted. That is usually how these things go I believe.

You find spending other peoples money easy don't you, any comment on how the season is panning out yet? Not seen you on any match threads commenting on our wins and clean sheets...wonder why that is.

If we had sold around 4000 season tickets we probably could pay a good strikers wages, we didn't so we can't...Norman has done great job since he's been at Vale considering the lack of support he's had from the stay away so called supporters who will probably turn up if the good run continues.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

 

And get booed off at The Emirates.

I think today will be a big test, we have been relying rather heavily on Nathan Smith so far, including him scoring the winning goal. Too early to say how things will pan out but we have made a good start.

We've had a very good start to the season and a point at Swindon would be good,a win would be SUPERB so fingers crossed UTV.
