Three words spring to mind: Rushden and Diamonds. Without a long established committed fan base to back it up these vanity projects can go tits up very quickly once the money dries up.

Sunderland have Anton Forrester on trial! That is hilarious. They must be bloody desperate.

Just noticed my phone automatically put the umlaut in Motörhead. That is awesome!

I think it’s fair that we earn some major rock points with Lemmy from Motörhead and Slash from GNR.

Bizarrely yes, and a flipping good ‘un too. After a very underwhelming first half of the season, he was played their out of necessity around January time as we had no fit left backs and turned out to be an absolute revelation. Playing at left back, he was probably our best player in the second...

Port Vale may be mildly competent unlike last year Crewe fans will continue to bury their head in the sand as more sordid revelations about their club come to the surface Oldham will still be shit in league 2 and will appoint John Sheridan in March to keep them in the league Mansfield...

Micky Adams was great for Vale . Exactly what we needed at that point in our history. The fact that he wound up Crewe fans just sweetens the deal.

And you say this coming from Crewe? Burslem has an excellent real ale scene. Some real gems.

The good- Accrington Stanley. A shining example of what can be achieved on a small budget if you have the right people in place. The bad- Our pittiful early season displays under Michael Brown. The 5-1 surrender at Cheltenham was a low point too. The ugly- Barnet’s disgraceful time wasting and...

A lot of success or failure of a new ground to me is about location. Examples of decent new grounds would be Rotherham and Chesterfield. Both located pretty centrally with pubs/eateries nearby. Crap ones that spring to mind are Shrewsbury in a field in the middle of bloody nowhere, Wigan and...

I thought it was an afternoon of good fun and nonsense. Certainly not one of the better quality Vale/Crewe matches but plenty of blood, sweat and tears. A real ding dong battle between two sides who wanted to win and battled well I thought. Crewe bossed the first and last quarters. We were the...

If two sides are going to finish below us they are gonna have to be really dreadful.

Where there's smoke there's fire. Am I right in thinking he is still suspended by the FA? Just saying like.

He's got a completely useless degree from a Mickey Mouse university (Chester), he's hardly Stephen Hawking is he? I have a BSc (Hons) in Biology (a real science) from the University of Manchester (a proper university) and an MSc in Biomedical Science too. Therefore I am officially more...

Well he is a left winger and he isn't slow. He also has a heart and brain the size of a raisin. Spent most of last year on the bench, I spent most of last year hoping he wouldn't come on and getting pissed off on the odd occasion when he did.

Good player. Decent signing. Would have quite happily had him back at Vale this summer. Versatile too- can play centre back, full back or in midfield.

As the crow flies, i live 34 miles from Vale Park but only 1.3 miles from Boundary Park!

Remie Streete for us, he's gone from in and out defender to first name on the team sheet. Still young and getting better all the time.

Target man? No Fox in the box?- Without doubt Winger?- Has played on the right of a front 3 for us generally but i think he would be better as a 2nd striker, playing of a big hulking lummox of a centre forward, now if only you had one of them... Pace? He's not lightning quick but he...

Except it wasn't less than 4000 at all and since when have Radio Stoke talked any sense. As I said on OneValeFan, why let the truth get in the way of knee jerk reactions. Everyone who was at the game is pleased with the performance and is being positive, those not at the game are the ones...
