The ‘pretzel’ is The Staffordshire Knot. Legend has it a prisoner was challenged that if he could devise a noose to hang three people with just one rope (they breed ‘em tough up there) he would be set free. Pull both ends of the pretzel and the three gaps tighten.
Never been keen on watching games that don’t have a lot on them for us, but shelled out my £10 in case it’s the last time get to listen to Phil on a Tuesday night (can’t watch next week). Really appreciated his commentary over the last 4 years & seen it’s his 500th game commentating on us tonight too!
Only 59 to go to beat Blooms (as a player)! Congratulations indeed!
While on the topic on commentary @bluntphil - any chance we could get a cheeky GA co-comms before season's end, given he will probably be otherwise employed next season? That would be seminal!

I genuinely had no idea we were playing today!
Why do they have a waffle on their badge?
OK, Boomer
And a pretzel?

But that’s enough ‘waffle’ from me.
Vale could be all but relegated tonight if we win and Burton beat Cheltenham.
Classic Gasroom - ask about the waffle and the pretzel and ignore the two hand grenades.
Hope you are safe and dry in UAE @Kim_il_Swan .
Looks a bit ropey there ATM!
I'm fine thanks. I'm in the UK at the moment which is way more dangerous. Going back out there soon to get a ringside seat for the start of WWIII.
Back on topic. 2-1 win for us.
Port Vale haven't won a Tuesday night for over 2 years.
Was quite confident until I’ve just seen this!!!

Surely Phil deserves a testimonial after 500 games?
Very little BANTZ on the Port Vale forum. The general mood is we are going to win tonight and quite a few are hoping we put them out of their misery.
He should commentate on a Gasroom All-Stars game
Looks like enough to win
4321 with Leahy central midfield and Lonwijk left back?
Big Nige just oozes style doesn't he? On and off the pitch.
An all-time cult hero if he stays next season
That's a hell of a bench should we need it
Looks like a solid defensive setup to start with.
But with Scowen, GMac, Low, Kone and Kodua potentially coming on in the second half, we could see a late flurry of goals.
No Potts in the squad but as @Alexo said, the team looks like enough to win.
So Potts, Lobala, McCarthy and Campbell rested.
I think Lubala may have picked up a knock, seeing as he did not play against Shrewsbury either.
Hopefully Campbell rested for the rest of the season.
Yes may have and thanks for the spelling correction 👍👍
We all make smelling pisstakes from time to time. 👍️
There’s a player in there. Not a Premier League player but maybe a decent league 1 player. But he needs a lot of work.
With McCarthy keeping him company.
No Max on the bench...
