    Presumably the curse of the award means that the wheels are about to fall off ………… :(

    Pretty sure the “curse” was proven to be a bit of an urban legend as most winners have no impact on games immediately following the award. That said, yes, that’s our season done.

    Say that to the WBA bloke, he was the last to win it, later that day they were relegated!

    Richly deserved and long may it continue. I think his biggest feat has been to obtain a level of fitness we haven't seen since Sean Dyche was here.

    The squad is great when they're all fit and available. That's the only path to consistency. Get Deulofeu and Chalobah match fit and I don't see any why we can't have our best season of the four so far.

    There will always be a ‘curse’ for teams like us as after winning it, because after winning every game in August we are not then going to win every game in September, there will be an inevitable down turn in form which will have nothing to do with the award.

    I see Isaac has fought people off to get to the front to find out whether or not there's a bottle of Baileys in the box ……….

    That's an awesome pic. So much team spirit and joy in the camp right now. Warms the cockles!
     
  12. August doesn't include spuds. Manu, Fulham, Arse, 9 pts, job done for September.

    I agree and, although injuries are unpredictable, I'd guess, with this level of fitness we'll see less injuries.

    I love the look on Troy's face in this photo. When he's enjoying himself and he's buying in to the togetherness with the manager, that's only a good sign.

    1. Well done Gracia; thoroughly deserved
    2. The "curse" of the Manager of the Month is absolutely nonsensical with no sound logic to it whatsoever and anyone who believes in that tripe should take a long, hard look at themselves.




    3. My immediate reaction to this news was "Oh no, he's won Manager of the Month. We're stuffed".

    Why didn't Mourinho get it? He's won more titles than anybody else this side of Jupiter. Respect, respect!

    Absurd decision, in my opinion, by Watford to fire Marco Silva after his first bad run. He’ll be snapped up very quickly and Watford will almost certainly get someone less talented.

    The Pozzo's recruitment model seems to be working. Wonder what these over paid pundits will have to say about this. Not that I give a .......

    Let's hope the players and fans maintain that support for Javi when times aren't looking so bright. Without trying to sound too negative, there will be that inevitable slump and a once positive atmosphere at the club can suddenly turn sour..... Ahh... Fark it... Enjoy it whilst it lasts, COYH's!!!*


    *Seriously though Javi, don't pull a Silva on us or I will find you, and kill you.

    Even though the award was based on August's results - I can't help but feel that had Poch's Spuds turned us over on Sunday, he'd have got the award instead. After all, they did achieve the greatest result of all time the week before..............

    Well done, Javi:D

    Not sure if it’s been mentioned elsewhere...and can’t be bothered to search!

    But that Isidre Ramon guy that we got from Barcelona and feared had gone to Spain has tweeted his congratulations to JG and the squad and talked very much like he still works at the club!
