    I know we're going to be biased, but he surely deserves it. Let's hope the Manager of the Month Curse doesn't kick in to disrupt our New Manager Bounce early

    Pearson is going to win it anyway. It’s fixed. Your vote means nothing. It’s all to do with the FA and they are completely anti Watford. They have an agenda, and that is to get us relegated. They were hoping the officials could get it done in the past few games by screwing us with VAR and terrible red card decisions. When big Nigel gave them the finger and the players pulled through, they have resorted to proper underhand tactics, Manager of the Month award. The is nothing short of Dark Magic. After sacrificing Iain Dowie at the FA temple, and chanting some weird stuff, they dipped the award in his blood, forever putting a curse on the winner of that award. True Dark Arts indeed. You happy clappers are blindly and willingly voting for Pearson, just so we can win something this season, selfish! If you love this club and want to see us stay in the Prem, then don’t vote for Pearson! For some of you it’s to late, all I ask is that you hang your heads in shame and ask Nath for forgiveness.

    I see that Foster has come out and said that players were getting away with living off of their "reputation"/past glories under previous management, and that Pearson basically doesn't give a crap about that and won't stand for players coasting.

    That's what we like to hear.

    I was thinking the same thing. Past glories? Have any of our players ever won anything?

    I guess it's all relative.
    For our squad that may mean "getting a shot on target", "pinging a cross near the penalty spot", "playing 30 minutes without a booking", "blocking a cross", "strolling around on Wembley's hallowed turf"...that sort of "past glory" ?

    "As Pearson leaves for lunch with his players, he is asked for his views on Brexit, as a Brit now abroad.

    “I don’t agree with it and I think it’s a travesty, personally. I won't tell you how I vote at home but I was definitely a 'remain'.

    “It's alright for the Scots and the Welsh to say that they're Scots and Welsh, but I'm an Englishman and I see myself as being European. I was bloody annoyed if I'm honest.”"

    Legend.

    I think Klopp has seen off the curse. He’s won that award 4 out of the last 5 months. The month he didn’t win it was the month he had the shame of drawing a single match.

    Much as I hate Klopp and Liverpool, their form over the last year is absolutely phenomenal. 19 wins and 1 draw this season in 20 games straight off winning the champs league. Amazing stuff really, credit where credit is due. Hope they are unbeaten until the last game of the season before losing to an injury time VAR penalty at Anfield, in front of the Kop....

    Not past reputations but a rocket up the arse when 1-0 down to Liverpool at half time. Javi and Flores would consider that a good first half (to be fair many teams would!)

    "Watford were losing 1-0 at Premier League leaders Liverpool but Pearson came in and, in the words of their goalkeeper Ben Foster, “stuck a rocket up somebody like you wouldn’t believe”."

    At first I misread the somebody as the whole team and was surprised given that we were playing quite well that day. Wonder which player that was?

    I reckon Doucoure. He was swanning around in the first half.

    And was the one who mis kicked in front of goal (I know Sarr did too but he is young so Pearson is less likely to have a pop at him)

    Oh yes now I remember, and Liverpool scored straight after Doucoure had that great chance.

    A bit harsh given that he got in a good scoring position and the whole team back then was woefully lacking in confidence in front of goal, but then I don't remember his contribution during the rest of that half - maybe that was the problem!
