Relegation six-pointer today. Potentially 7 with the extra point available for goal difference if we’re able to win by 5 clear goals. If that’s not enough to focus minds on the task at hand, we’re done for.
If Femenia starts and we're 4-4-2 then I'm going to arrange for an anti-Gracia message to be flown over the stadium.
Serious question. When the team sheet is submitted at 2pm, there is no mention of a formation is there?
"**** off Javi you ****ing piece of ****, I hope you get ****ed by a dog, you ****ing gurning, Spanish, gremlin looking **** ****! ... COYH!!!!!!!!!!!!" It'll cost a few quid and will take a good while to fly the whole message over, but I think it'll get my point across in a considered, eloquent way.
I'll be hoiking my season tickets pitch worthy if that's the case. Actually, I wont. I'm camping in Henley today and making a special journey back for the match. If that's the announcement at 2pm, I'll be turning my car around and heading straight back to the site. The tickets will be thrown out the window on the M40 probably.
I think he will retire the CF position for the next couple of months and just play with 10 out of respect for Troy. 1-4.
The implementation of VAR in the Premier League has slightly surprised me so far. I expected many more penalties being given for slight touches or dodgy handballs (Watford might have had one of each in the Brighton and Everton matches). Although I think that will happen in international or European games here VAR seems more reluctant to overturn onfield decisions. However there does seem to be an element of trying to disallow goals if at all possible; they tried very hard to find a reason to deny Wolves their equaliser against Man U for example. One thing that has annoyed me though is the claim that there were only 5 reviews in the first two rounds of matches, implying that the interference of VAR in games is minimal. What they mean is that only 5 decisions were overturned, but the number of reviews is probably five or six each game. We are now pausing for decisions on ‘possible red card’ as well as goals and penalties.
Looking forward to our first win of the season. I'm confident we'll get the 3 points and we'll be back on track again. Just found out Martin Atkinson is doing the Norwich v Chelsea match with Andre Mariner on VAR. FFS.....why can't we ever get quality like that doing our games?
Transfer market bottom feeders, Watford, are likely to remain rock bottom at 5pm on Saturday evening as big fish, West Ham, come to town. Watford’s defence is expected to continue to flounder following their battering at home on the opening day of the season. Gracia’s team were taken to school by a more disciplined grouper players who never let his team off the hook. With flabby whale fish, Troy Deeney out, Javi will be looking for someone else to lead the line. Wellbeck could take his plaice, whether he plays in a pair or as the sole striker remains to be seen. One other ray of hope is record signing Sarr but both of these players will need to get their skates on to be fit in time. We’re herring that midfield is going to be without Abdoulaye Doucouré. It is not thought to be a serious injury and he is unlikely to need to see a sturgeon. He will probably be replaced by midfielder and ex-red snapper, Tom Cleverly, who has been part of the Watford squid for a couple of years. Javi Gracia will be looking for a win to clam-ber up the league table, though a grilling from the owner awaits should the team fail.
There's no way Hughes can play in this heat, and if he does he'll be going off after 7 minutes with third degree burns.
I missed this post first up. It's hilarious if taken at face value. But probably it shouldn't be given your second para. You win some arguments on this forum due to having, a somewhat sad, mastery of the detail given the time it must take you to research it all, necessarily leaving little room for anything else. But if you do really think you win them all when the opposition lose the will to live given the same old, same old, illogical arguments you trot out ad infinitum, then you are very sadly mistaken matey. Burnsy is critiqueing me for my style, not my argument. He doesn't like terms like 'drivel' and 'sad little sacks'. Fair enough. But I'm afraid that on the subjects of referee bias against us specifically and VAR not being a leveller you are losing hands down the both of you. Because your positions are fundamentally illogical and ridiculous. Currently in Walkabout 'preparing'. Heading off towards the Vic. soon. U 'Orns. *sent from the Starship Enterpise using previously unadvertised techhology
Only thing we can hope for is West Ham being more complacent than we are. Personally I think this will be the last home match Gracia will be in the dugout.
No. I'm afraid that, on this occasion, I don't see the logic in your opinion at all. Where, exactly, is the logic?
