    Amongst all the noise, the social media/internet presentation of Watford football club is for me the most annoying thing about being a fan these days.

    Slightly warming to him after this comment when asked about the Deeney challenge. He's having the time of this life!

    “He didn’t touch him – he touched the ball, no,” said the Spaniard with a smile. “No, I don’t think it was an action for a red card. I am happy with Troy because he was involved in all the action and this is good for the team.”

    Yeah but he doesn't give a **** about showing it. He just can't believe he's got the job and is having a bit of a laugh.

    Ok he's growing on me. Still acts like a competition winner and who knows what he was thinking playing Cleverley right wing and Sarr left wing but maybe all our bunch of prima donnas need is someone to be nice to them, clap and smile a lot, do some rondos in training and then they'll bother to put the effort in against a bunch of inferior players.

    Not to sure about his substitutions which often seem like they are being done the sake of it and not for any real tactical reasons? However I do like his overall enthusiasm as it seems to have rubbed off on the players.

    Lets hope this bubbly feeling around the place continues and all those bubbles don't start going pop :eek:

    Still feels like a nanny for the primadonnas, but can’t fault his results so far.

    Got it right tonight. Could tell he wasn’t happy first half. Sensible subs at the right time. Tonight let’s all have an xisco.

    I like that he subs players that are already on a yellow & walking a tightrope, rather than risk them getting sent off. It seems like the obvious & sensible thing to do, yet very few managers actually do it.

    No excuse really with 5 subs and 9 to choose from. But yes agreed at least he does it.

    I like what I’ve seen of xisco so far. Ok results have put my yellow tinted glasses on. The Swansea game was a bit soon yes he had the Norwich game straight away but as proved I think the Swansea fixture was harder. Towards the end of tonight’s first half he wasn’t happy and he was down screaming instructions motivating and getting his point across. I think the more time he has the better we will come. Can picture bigger clubs coming in for him a bit like Slither scenario if we go up and perform. (That’s if we keep him of course) the players look like they’re enjoying the game again I guess anything after ivic would be enjoyable. But for me he seems to be providing that vibe that slither brought with him.

    That's if he gets his coaching badges! Tbf, getting Slither was a bit of a coup, good spell in Greece followed by a bright if ultimately doomed spell at Hull, Xisco is still very much a baby when it comes to management. Good start from him so far, not reinventing the wheel, but getting results so far

    And it’s more feasible with the additional number of subs allowed now.

    Apparently working on his pro license. I’m just getting at his style of man management slither bonded the team had them enjoying football the vibe around the club was supposed to be the best it had been for a long time. I think xisco is bringing that vibe with him.

    Are you sure he wasn't just bustin' a few moves to Sweet Caroline?

    Shame if true as good times never seemed so good (so good, so good), hopefully he was just reachin' out.

    Fair play to Xisco. Standing up for his captain Deeney by attacking the monolith that successfully man marked him out of the last few training matches.

    It's all fun and games until someone accidentally gets a small stone in their snowball.

    It can easily cut an eye which can get infected and kill someone, but not before mutating into a zombie virus.

    Before you know it, we've got the zombie apocalypse on our hands and all because of what some bright spark thought would be a bit of 'harmless' fun.

    Look at that weasel Cleverley in the background, geeing Xisco on, he'll do anything to take that captaincy back.

    I meant 'monolith' in the recent, modern definition of the term rather than the one purported to be correct by the so-called dictionary.

    Doesn't he realise that if one of our players gets hit by a snowball he's going to be out injured for a minimum of six weeks?

    We've essentially hired the Spanish Hayden Mullins.

    Cheap, no experience, brief glimmers of hope but in the end we know it is destined to fail.

    There's every chance he's a flop in the making, and his track record is unimpressive. But despite all this and despite making some tactical decisions I disagree with, he's overseen our best run of form all season. So I'm more than happy to back him while that continues.

    Clueless teat, devoid of any tactical nous.

    It is beyond belief that we couldn't have got some experienced Italian journeyman manager in to steer us to promotion.

    His appointment will remain utterly baffling forever.
