Pre-Match View From Port Vale

[mattbianco1]

Last 7 away games: W4 D3 L0 Pts15. More than 2 points per game. That's usually considered to be very good if it's a combination of away and home form, let alone just away form.

Or we could go back further and view it as just 1 away defeat in the last 19 away games.

Either way, that's as near to fantastic as we're ever likely to get.

It is. The smilie face thing at the end was aimed at the deluded Port Vale fan, not Blade for Sale

 

[RossoDeltic]

First went when Nathan Blake hadn't scored for about 10 games and duly ended that run. Some of the coaches got bricked that day, fortunately ours wasn't one of them. Remember the 'family' section being the place that got coined etc

 

[Piddie]

Always chuckle to myself and think it's the perfect definition of irony when they come to Bramall Lane and sing Sheffield's a sh*t hole I wanna go home.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Cheers Roy, they don't sound an over friendly lot.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Port Fail fans are of the Grimsby Town school of hooliganism, i.e cause bother then scarper like fuck behind the police when they can't handle the retaliation. And worry not, they'll be plenty there to retaliate tomorrow.

It's only the march to the league championship that has convinced me to go back to Burslem, it truly is the most depressing shithole I have ever visited by some distance. A smackhead-laden, dingle ridden backwater that makes Aleppo look like fucking Venice.

Plus they're the only club in Western Europe that won't appoint a black manager for fear of the reaction of their fans, which just about sums them up.

I can remember going vale park when we went down from the PL when Bassett was in charge. Put us up in the corner and at half time going the toilets, there morons throwing stones etc over the fence. Proper inbred club

And spitting through the fence and verbally abusing women going to the toilets. I wondered where we had come to. It was certainly a wake up call to championship football!

 

[Punk Blade]

I think Brammall Lane is the last place any Blade would want us to win the title.

So you're looking forward to your visit tomorrow?

 

[RossyTheBlade94]

Will Kell Brook be at the game? In all seriousness though what a set of backwards mongs.

 

[Small Mendonca]

Should be interesting then on my first visit to Burslem. I remember me and Large Mendonca got a nice reception from the Stoke fans when Jack Lester got us a late minute penalty to draw 2-2 at the Britannia back in 2003 so I expect more of the same tomorrow.

 

[sufcboy95]

Everyone be aware of them vale hardnuts

 

[knowsnowt]

Golly gosh. What an uncouth bunch they are!

 

[Tray]

“Its going be embarassing just like my spelling is. They will win easily something like 4 nil and there will be more of there fans there than ours.”

Excellent irony, at least some of them can laugh at thereselves

 

[BushBlade]

I'll be in the aforementioned Railway stand with my Vale supporting Bro in Law doing my best to talk fluent Stokie. The problem is that it usually comes out as a mixture of Scouse and Brum.

Stay safe lads and lasses, remember we're all there to celebrate but some of their nutters could be pretty pissed off.

Aim for a Nottingham accent as Stoke is very similar to an East Midlands accent. Or, as I recommended with MK, just talk like a pirate. It never fails. Aaaarh.

I would have thought a series of grunts and the ability to flick your own poo across a room would suffice

 

[Sean Thornton]

Have you dug up a 1970's view from Roygbiv ?

The last few comments seem to be an echo of 70's football hoolies at their worst.

Tossers.

It's still the 1970's in Burslem. Early 70's.

Vale make the Stoke fans look like Gilbert and George.

Well, if G&G dressed like tramps.

 

[PittsburghBlade]

“Loads of celebrating blades fans as they put at least three goals up relegation vales rubbish players supported by a couple of thousand die hards wearing there badge of STUPID proudly and forlornly on the continually declining road to obscurity !!”

That felt good.

 

[Davalon]

I can remember going vale park when we went down from the PL when Bassett was in charge. Put us up in the corner and at half time going the toilets, there morons throwing stones etc over the fence. Proper inbred club

Had two of their lot snarling at me through the bars separating the toilets at that game, "where's your boys?"

They didn't take kindly to my response about seeking out boys in toilets

 

[Caveblade]

Stoke is an awful backwater that time has forgotten. They don't see the irony of saying what a nasty set of fans we are, before revelling in the fact that we will be carried out on stretchers.

Stoke and PV are supported by mindless neanderthals, it is nice to think that we at least are not going to be playing PV again anytime soon

 

[GrayBlade]

Vale fans have never forgiven us for pipping them to promotion in the 88-89 season. Since then we've been on their 'most hated' list.

I've no idea why some team's fans seem to hold a grudge against us for so long, Forest and the Tractor boys are the same. Jees if we made a hit list of teams that had put one over on us at the end of a season, we'd hate half the football league.

 

[Minty]

Thanks Roygbiv

 

[Liverpool blade]

Cheers Roy. Burslem is depression in solid form and their fans are just a bunch of knuckle draggers. I'm so happy we won't be going there for a good few years!!!. In the 5 times I've visited there, it's never been a good experience!!!. Up the blades.

 

[blade too long]

was a bit of a canter at home
Done had enough disallowed to double his tally for the season
they were extremely easy to cut up
should be capable of a good win

 

[Bladebri]

Port vale supporters club meeting

And I mean the whole of port vale supporters love the disco ball

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Cheers Roy

 

[Russ]

Based on that, I'm hoping we can equal our record victory.

0- ten

Go on Billy!

 

[Blade 62]

Well erm I'm a bit lost for words after reading some of those comments.

Thanks Roy

 

[Lord Bos of Eckington.]

Celebrate your promotion fine, but don’t act all hard thinking you can run around our town giving it the big un, as unlike other places this won’t be tolerated. Have a drink, keep themselves to themselves and enjoy the game then **** off.

And then the horrible Vale fans will stick the boot in regardless. 2nd to Millwall for having the most neanderthals support their club.

Think Port Vale are worst than Millwall . At least Millwall do have some respect for The Blades .

Port Vale are in a time warp . Popping in to Jonathan Silvers to buy me clobber for the match .

 

[Lard_Lad]

Pretty sure that Grant was their only half decent player and he left in January, so there even weaker than when we beat them 4-0.
