I'm not expecting much. Apparently the last thing that Crosby is prepared to do is put one of his players at risk. Hardly the mentality to get results in the Theatre of War which is Vale Park. Get him gone. Get him gone now. He'd be better suited in SAGE than working as a football manager.

One pal of mine has suggested that they should publicise what time the scientists say that the subs need to be made in advance. That way people can decide whether it's worth going to the game or not.

And yet from my armchair overseas, I watch every game legally and I probably put more money into the club than your average fan each season too

 

Explain how you put more money into the club?

The opposition have hacked his computer. They're selling the info on the dark web.

In other words… these are <ovf censored> no excuses 😂
 

He said we shouldn’t be where we are when he looks at our  team. Something we can all agree on.

Why?

I thought that was obvious. It was you that made the claim that you put more into the club than the average fans that attend every week. Unless you can back that up with facts and figures its just a load of bull.

It is none of your business.

So its a load of bull then. You made it everyone's business when you claimed on here how much more you contribute to the club than us average Vale match attendees

You can have my address date of birth and postcode as i presume you want to send me xmas greetings  😅

PM me your details then.

I'm not making a massive thing about it.

I was just responding to your armchair comment. Because I live abroad, I make sure the club get some money me each season because Its pointless me buying things like seasons tickets. 

I look forward to non-existence wimp out email from you

Speaking personally, it doesn't take long to mount up the cost from supporting overseas, I follow, merchandise and tickets in the directors suite etc (if thats what you do) when you visit 3 or 4 times a year, plus all the matches expenses when you do come back.

So you've gone from contributing more than the average Vale fan, to giving the club some money, priceless. It would help you gain some respect on here if you thought a bit more before you post. I know of quite a few posters who have blocked you because of how you post. Make of that as you will.

I have also messaged you my details so looking forward to the xmas card

Having been a Vale fan for over 55 years I have pretty much seen it all over the years. I hope that I am now a bit wiser as well as a lot older than I once was and try (not always successfully) not to get too worked up following a bad result and/or performance. I have done more than my fair share of kicking the furniture around when I got home after a bad loss (are there any good losses?). Nowadays I tend to reflect on the many similar experiences I have witnessed over the years, and it is amazing how the more things change the more they stay the same. I would love to be watching the Vale storming up the league(s) playing ticca tacca football whilst realistically accepting that this will never happen. So, I call in the pub for a few enjoyable pints before the game then go and see what sort of performance and result we get that day. The only thing that I do know for certain, is that I will be going up the Vale and supporting the lads for as long as I am physically capable. As this thread is for tomorrows match my prediction is 2 - 0 to the Vale.

Who says I can't dream?

We have lost five home league games on the bounce. Does anyone know what our longest sequence of home league defeats is? If we lose to Wigan, would that be another unwanted record?

Would equal the record of 6, set in 1991-92 and 2018-19

Those are my sentiments exactly. Top post.
