They left a lot of space in midfield for Duffy to just wander around in.

Their fans comments pretty much spot on, they just did not show up today. The great thing for us is that we exploited it and played our best football.

Think your being a little unkind to the blades there Bladesman, vale didn't get the chance to turn up we were at them right from the start.they came with a lot of confidence and tried to play us with an attacking formation , (they couldn't live with us on the day and if we can play anything like that kind of form
every match we will walk this league ).What I like about Wilders tactics is the attacking intent 90 mins on the front foot (great to see ) ,The last time we played with that kind of attitude was under Dave Bassett,he was a great beleave in attack is best form of defence,having said that it is more technical than Bassett's teams.How would Deano and Agana perform with the talent we have in the midfield area.
The only weak area we have now is upfront get that right in the window and we will fly.Chris Wilder gets a lot of credit for putting together this squad so quickly in the window,I await him finishing the job in the January window.

In the first game they've been bothered to show up to this season, half the fucking police force turned up.

Just been looking on the one vale forum. 23 page thread on todays game. Page 21 and a post about the bullying tactics of "South Yorkshires finest",(posters words)
Nowt changes.
I wondered what the fuck all those srewards were doing from the start of the second half surroundong the Vale fans. Load of bollox.

Well though United played, that struck me almost as soon as the game started. In all the home games he's played Fleck has struggled a bit to make an impact in crowded midfields but from the first whistle today he was in acres of space every time he received the ball. He showed what he can do but he won't be given that sort of room every week.

That said, our movement was excellent.

Said the same today, couldn't believe how much space they were giving Fleck, but they didn't seem to change it.

I don't think it's any coincidence that the rest of the home games, when the plod haven't attended, have passed without trouble yet today there's been incidents.
 
My god it felt sweet to utterly vanquish that horrible little club today. I hope that the 300 or so wankers who turned up realised how futile it is to be from Burslem.

The SYP can fuck off too. Why did so many turn up trying to be hard? They were itching for trouble.
How unfortunate that Sheffield is graced with TWO sets of Pigs.

Was just heading home from London Rd and going up Bramall Lane. There's a load of
Police cars and vans and a Stoke-onTrent coach right outside Cricks which seems very dead with curtains drawn etc.

Anyone know what's going on?

Supports club coach had broken down according to one of their local rags.

No, just elements of the South Yorkshire variety.

I just think it'd be nice if they'd taken the same proactive stance towards rapists in Rotherham as they do towards peaceful football supporters. Rather than lining up along John Street scowling at everyone.

The "pigs" remark however was a bit daft on reflection.
 
Don't shoot me down, but at 0/0 freeman makes that challenge and the game turns completely for me... they were in it up to that point..

Couldn't deal with Ebanks... cult hero in progress...

It's the arsehole of Stoke. And Stoke isn't pleasant.

Having lived in the area for 25 years, I'd say that Stoke is its own arsehole, it doesn't need Burslem, often referred to as the Mother Town, to perform that function.

As above, and I always had a soft spot for Vale over the clayheads. The MD of the place I worked, a Vale fanatic and briefly chairman, was old enough to have seen them play at the Recreation Ground in Hanley before they moved back to Burslem. He bought his seat from the old main stand and has it in his garden. I suggested when I saw him recently that he might like to give it back, they'd only be about 1,999 short of a full complement.

I spent a few years out there, mostly in the shit Newcastle area. Never felt at home.

Really if getting beaten 8 times means you think your keeper should be man of the match you need your head checking lol
 
once went for a job interview in the Stoke area and went through Burslem.. i only actually turned up out of courtesy otherwise i'd have turned straight around.. tried my best to 'fail' the interview.. interesting experience actually, trying 'not' to get a job :)
yeah it's a dump unlike anything i've seen in the UK.. quite sad
