just playing devil's advocate and all, but... weren't Vale decimated by injuries? Haven't they got a smaller (and sh*tter) squad than us?
Do they even have any quality players to miss? Which of their first choice players was absent? I'm not overly familiar with their team.
instead of ritchie flipping off i wish moaning c*nts like you would,i hope ritchie is here for at least the length of his contract,we need some stability,not arseholes like you wanting shut of the manager at the first sign of a sticky patch,if you dont like it p*ss off and watch wednesday.
Acerbic. But accurate. Fans know f**k all. Well, except one: This tall, well-bulit, good-looking guy I know. I listen to all of his opinions. He's great. Knows a couple of red-hot guitar solos too.
RE: Do they even have any quality players to miss? They had many of their key players missing. Dinning, Smith being two. Smith tore us apart last season.
ritchie didnt get us into this division and i suppose most of you cant rmember all the years we had in this and the 4th division so you consider every manager a failure. barnsley are now a division higher than when i first started watching them. look how long johnny steele was manager in the 4th division with gates of around 1000 no-one seemed to get on his back like todays fans. the success of recent years is still a memory for us all but dont ever forget all the years spent in the lower divisions. if god forbid we did slip as low as the 4th or even the conference i will still be there, why not i did it before .
Me Best manager since Bassett, his signings except for Richards have all been good and we've improved alot since last year so whoever thinks he's clueless are clueless themselves...</p>
2 defeats in 18? Only lost one at home in the league, seventh in the league? Dont you have anything else to do but think of negatives?
