Watched the game in Protaras, Cyprus, bloke on a table near me in the bar says to me, ‘Dear God, is that Rob Page? He used to manage us’. I’ve never, ever met a Port Vale fan on holiday before, so that was the initial shock, regardless of our result tonight his opinion of Page wasn’t so much of a shock. Can’t knock Page at this particular moment but a Port Vale fan having a go puts things into perspective. Great result though
Brilliant result and history will judge, one way or another that he took us to our first world cup in a million years etc etc.
I find him very uninspiring but I suppose his record isn't bad really, and that's with losing some of the best talent Wales had for years.
He got lucky in exceptional circumstances I guess, but deserves some credit.
And I've always quite liked Port Vale for some reason. Nice name. Not Stoke City.
Interesting "fact" about Port Vale (probably wrong)
I was told they are the only team in the league not named after a place you can find on a map.
Cue a shedload of responses refuting this.
Arsenal, though arguably they were originally Woolwich Arsenal before they moved north of the river.Originally Posted by bobh

Celtic/Rangers?
Forest Green Rovers
There's an Arsenal Underground station.
There's a couple of places named Forest Green.
Ajax?
Arsenal's a tube station, so can technically be found on a map.
If we're going outside the English pyramid, then TNS?
But it wasn't named after a place, the station was named after the club.
Arsenal was named after a building, which is a place - but not one found on the map like the post said.
Ready for someone to continue playing semantics tennis with me
Port Vale was named after a location in a canal within the Vale of Burslem.But it wasn't named after a place, the station was named after the club.

It does say "in the league"
Is it on the map?
Yes only joking on that one but of course Ajax is in the "Dutch" league.
Not sure but it might have been on an old one.
So "a league", not "the league" - the one that port vale is in
Their full names start with Glasgow.
Full name is Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax
Exactly, Ajax for short.
For just over 20 years Leyton Orient were just Orient FC
Ive nothing against Pagey, he is a proud welshman managing his country, he cares and it shows
Yes he got lucky with the players we had ( as did Cookie ) it all clicked at the right time and of course Bale often made the difference
We know Pagey makes some tactical / selection errors, but speak to any football fan and they will all say that about a manager
I think we often forget, we haven't the biggest pool of players to choose from, we have imho punched above our weight since 2014, its been a great 10 years, our decline can not solely be put down to Pagey
Yes but all leagues are "the league" to someone surely?So "a league", not "the league" - the one that port vale is in
