Match Notes
A weird bromance has seen Vale and Watford bounce up and down through the divisions in tandem since S43. JT is already promoted - is it time for him to break up with John?
Roger (Bristol City FC) 07/15 - 7:06 PM
On the other hand we have an outside shot at the title if we can win here
John (Port Vale FC) 07/17 - 4:27 PM
We've also played Watford significantly more than any other team, interestingly.
John (Port Vale FC) 07/17 - 4:28 PM
Can John win this match by more than 8 goals?
