    Not the time people. Not the time. Show some respect for the death of our club, in appointing a man who just got relegated instead of us.

    No ambition?

    That you genuinely believe someone would want to destroy a £1,500 laptop and get in to a real life fight because of a comment you made on an internet messageboard about Amrabat being alright says rather worrying things about your own mental well-being tbh.

    Let alone the fact that I clearly wasn't backtracking considering I quoted your comment about asking for abuse in my original post and I am perfectly capable of basic comprehension.

    Thanks, I do consider myself an artist. ;)

    Only just logged on and found out. Great news, it now gives us about 10 weeks to mould the squad to his liking.

    Ambition or not, appointing him is a nice way of showing our gratitude. Very sporting behaviour.

    You made an idiot of yourself and that's ok mate, no need to be embarrassed. I accept your apology and hopefully you learn from your mistake.

    Now let's move on as Watford fans and enjoy the new season to come.

    You know what? It feels really good to be a Watford fan today. Even though moat of us felt depressed and annoyed about last season, knowing things are on the up wants me to forget we had two keepers on the bench in our last game. Here's to a much more positive 17/18 season.

    Just to put a reality check on
    Amrabat he was good for us start of the season then got injured at a crucial time. Came back not in the same form which can happen after a lay off.

    Great news! Hope he can sort the dressing room out, clear the deadwood, get us playing exciting football and achieve a safe mid-table position season 1 with a challenge for Europe season 2! :D

    btw only on this board would a thread celebrating a new manager end up with some numpties squaring up for a fight! :rolleyes:

    Can't honestly see a second season with this bloke. If he does well with us, he'll be off. If he does crap, he'll be off

    I didn't bother reading the article on him from the official site, but I assume it's just the same as every other manager we've had and they've just swapped the names out.

    It will be interesting to see who comes in on the playing side. Silva will have watched may tapes on us and built a game plan when he was at Hull on how to win. Should be a crystal clear and pretty scathing analysis on who he considers not good enough and who he rates. The first buys will tell us a lot.

    One thing. Please refrain from calling other posters morons, retards or any other such title or asking them to do one or perform an action. It is rude and unnecessary and lowers the tone of the forum. Something which has been going on far too frequently in recent months and which discourages some to read threads. Do bear in mind that there are young Hornets reading these forums.

    It would do well to set an example. Remember that forums are places for people to voice their opinions. If you disagree with a fellow poster reason your argument and counter their points. There is no need to resort to abuse. Thank you.

    Agree with you mate. The fact that he picked us over 3 other Prem teams and Porto (according to Sky, we know Palace and Southampton held talks with him, not sure who the 3rd Prem team is) tells us a lot. I honestly think we are going to see the Pozzo's back him big time financially. He is one of the most talked about managers in Europe right now, which will only help us attract players to Watford. Wouldn't be surprised to see 7-9 new faces through the doors.

    Definitely exciting times ahead.

    He looks a bit like a young Dan Aykroyd if you squint.

    Yes and I remember how he turned Clucas inside out down the right hand side of the area at the Rookery bend in our home game against Hull.

    Welcome Marco Silva.

    1. I hope you'll learn to love our club and will become a fan.

    2. I hope your management and tactical skills turn out to be as good as we all hope and we have a great season.

    3. I hope that when we reach this time next year, the only suggestion of you leaving will be because huge clubs are sniffing around.

    4. I hope you can bring these players into line and show them who is the boss.

    5. I hope our fans will remember that games can be lost or drawn, as well as won and won't treat you as shamefully as some have treated the past two managers when results haven't gone our way.

    6. I hope you've been practising your English pronunciation and diction along with loosening up your wrist action for waving at the end of games. It turns out there are some who get offended if there's a trace of a foreign accent in the post match interviews and get extremely uptight if they don't get a little 'cooo-ee' wave after the final whistle each game.

    If you want a good laugh just go on twitter and search "watford over palace"

    The amount of drivel is hilarious.

    They really believe they are a bigger club because they have Zaha and Benteke. Someone should tell them that the only reason Zaha signed a 5 year deal was so they can get maximum money for him, like us with Deeney. I look forward to Zaha being sold this summer or January and Palace fans crying their little eyes out "but...but...*sniff*...he signed a 5 year deal." I'm guessing we will see Zaha at either Newcastle, Liverpool, Everton or a big club like Watford.

    Sigh. You really never understood why some of us were bothered about Wally's lack of English, did you? Fortunately Scott Duxbury did.

    Good first 4 points and Keighley has dealt with no. 6. - however on 5:
    - but equally if you produce boring drivel instead of football and have a clear half season of relegation form football I hope you wont expect to receive much praise.
