  19-08-2017 22:03

  Port Vale fans have their say on the 2-0 defeat at Chesterfield..ROB RHEAD, from May Bank: For the first half hour the Vale were the better team, a vast improvement on last week's effort.We applied plenty of pressure but crucially failed to score in what could have been a repeat of the Crawley game. As in that game, we lost our way and allowed the Spireites to take control. There had been the occasional breakaway by the home side which we just about coped with, but Kay and Smith were eventually.

  Arsene Wenger was furious with Arsenal's failure to score and two big decisions going in Stoke's favour during this evening's 1-0 loss for the Gunners here at the bet365.Wenger thought his side should have had a penalty for a Mame Diouf challenge in the first half, while in the second he was aghast that Alex Lacazette should be flagged for an extremely narrow offside call when smashing home what would have been an equaliser.Wenger complained: "I believe it is the kind of night when you are...
