<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">There were two big questions on everyone's lips, would the Vale's scoring streak continue, and after scoring 7 the week before would the gaffer put himself straight back

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">into the team? The answer to both was a big YES.

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">On a miserable morning in the Kidderminster / Stourport boundaries the changing rooms were full of hungover people not looking particularly happy to be there. All except Mick who Gary Linekerlike had a mysterious " poorly " toe , reading between the lines Mick

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">couldn't be arsed and fancied reverting back to Lino!

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">Anyway, to the game - the Vale started like the finely tuned express train that they are, and within the opening 5 minutes had forced a corner, Dan floated a perfect cross over, the keeper rose like a salmon, grasped at thin air and Laaner couldn't miss 1-0 to the Vale.

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">The Vale drove forward and 3 minutes later Matty surged into the box, the defender nailed him and 30 seconds later Matty landed in a crumpled heap , penalty to the Valesters....up stepped Laan and slots it away.

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">Unfortunately this is were it went a bit pear shaped, 22 minutes in and a long ball is played through and from outside of the penalty area the sofa is beaten. Yaa booo.

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">10 minutes later and a bobbly shot evades everyone in the box and the sofa's alcohol impaired reactions show as the ball bobbles into the net off the inside of the post, arse!

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">Half time comes with not much more action with the exception of Brew's flying header for the camera's that unfortunately weren't there to see it.

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">Second half starts Harriers corner, Steve and their forward challenge, it ricochets and goes in off the f'ing post again, bugger!

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">On comes Savo for Tim and there is a tactical reshuffle, Sav immediately makes monkeys out of two Harriers defenders who in turn try to separate Savo at the waist.

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">Not to be out done by Brew Steve gets in on the act of posiest header, bloody show off.

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">The Vale have now got the bit between there teeth and after a goalmouth scramble the ball hit's Alex right up the crack and fortunately hits the back of the net , not pretty but who gives a sh*t we're level!

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">Then Laan's head is mistaken for the ball leaving Laan to struggle to remember what his name is let alone that he's scored twice , walking around dazed not knowing what he was doing made him look like he was playing like the gaffer!

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">After a pretty piss poor attempt at a shot by the mighty Pedro the rebound comes to him and he pings in a fantastic cross to the back post where the ginger ferret (not Mick but Steve) is waiting to head home 4-3 to the Vale.

<p style="line-height: 1.8em;">All that's left then is for Laan to go off as he hasn't got a clue what is going on or what the score is and for Dan for the second week running to leave the field with a bloody nose, with it being the B C Ladyboy's next week the odds for Dan getting a hattrick of nose bleeds are about 2/1.
