Football League Comedy Show (Lesta Free 2014/15 Edition)

TBF to Auntie, I asked a "BBC" cameraman why there had been so little coverage of "our" poppy display: he said that a lot of it was due to the Beeb's Byzantine internal market rules: BBC Sport "buys" sporting stuff (from the clubs/league or shoot it themselves) and they can't show "newsy" stuff. I remember him explaining that BBC Sport would have to "sell" the footage to current affairs who would then repackage (re-edit and voiceover) it and "re-sell" it back to the sports department. And no, I haven't been drinking.

 

It's better than what itv offered

 

Having read the conspiracy theories here, and in other areas of the board, ive now got a vision of an underground bunker (under a grassy knoll.. in Bedfordshire) Inside are representataives of the FL show.. the League managers committee.. The FL.. the FA.. Uefa.. The BBC.. Holloway.. Don Howe & Terry Venables (for those with longer memories) The illuminati etc

They are all sat around plotting the demise of the Hornets. This i find much easier to vision than just a bunch of kids with overactive imaginations on the internet.

 

I don't think the Illuminati have anything to do with the conspiracy.

Although the Bilderberg group did meet in Watford a couple of years ago.

Coincidence?

 

Is that them shape shifting lizard people?

If so.. i believe Holloway is one of them.

 

"If the ref could make his own decision, I'm sure he would have kept the player on the pitch."

Punditry of the year from Justin Edinburgh. Or he knows there's a conspiracy.

 

Who the **** is Justin Edinburgh anyway.

 

I remember him playing for Spuds. He wasn't very good.

 

A failed Spurs player with psycho eyes. Hide the knives when he's around...

 

Manish and Leroy were pretty complimentary tonight. Full of praise for Anya's assists and Vydra's/Guedioura's finishes, saying 'arrogance isn't a word you'd associate with Watford', praising our away record, Leroy said he didn't think it was a penalty (contradicting the commentator)...

Highlights were balanced, too - only Abdi's miscued shot didn't make it on, and I'm not going to complain about that.

 

Mind you it's Norwich that are hot on Bournemouth's heels for the top spot ... no "and Watford" which seems a bit strange considering we have exactly the same chance of overtaking them.

 

They'd discussed us in a fair amount of detail before showing the highlights of the Norwich, Boro and Wolves games when they discussed Norwich's chances. Wouldn't have expected them to carry on referring to us throughout any promotion talk.

 

Eh? ... read my post again, it's not about promotion chances but champions.

 

I regularly shout at my telly when the FL show is on, cursing the p-poor coverage, but I think they were very complimentary last night; very good and flattering review of us I thought.

They didn't mention Norwich when they placed us amongst the promotion contenders, and to be fair they were summing up a block of games that included 'muff's and Norwich's games when they mentioned one being very close behind the other (which is true) and they didn't mention anyone as potential champions throughout that I heard.

Have to admit, I thought the same as you when it was first said, but I thought at the time they were summing up the whole Championship, when they were only summing up the last block of games.

Normally I would be with you, but I am with JH93 on this now.

Respect to your opinion though.

 

He was a centre forward (or have I misunderstood what you've posted?)

His son, Liam, is a defender at Hull City though, maybe you meant him.

 

I actually like Rosenior, he's always objective. Claridge always looks like the words are stuck in his throat when he has to compliment us.

I almost fell out of the chair when we were the feature game again.

 

Penalty? ... a touch on his shoulder caused him to trip over an imaginary kerb, now where've we seen that before?

 

I always record MOTD and The FLS so I can just skip past the pundit nonsense.

 

Leroy is by far the most knowledgeable and unbiased pundit on the FLS and last night's assessment reaffirmed my view.

He has a very well researched depth of knowledge of most clubs in the League. Professional and doesn't let emotion take over unlike Claridge.

 

Yep, I like him too, he comes across as someone who genuinely knows what he is talking about.

 

Who's ready to be underwhelmed tonight, then?

 

Not Football League Show related but try and have a look at Paul Walsh's reaction on Soccer Saturday when Wednesday scored the equaliser today. Biased scummer.

 

I thought exactly the same. Made it all the sweeter!

 

One of the crew from way back, when Walsh played for L*t*n,always used to call him a 'gnome'.He's been one since then to me!

What a complete ***.

 

Me and a mate met Paul Walsh at the Player of the year awards night, when Danny Graham won it for Watford before he went to Swansea - we asked him for a photo, which he readily agreed to, the look on his face when we gave him the camera and me and my mate gave a pose was priceless - I think he may have effed and c'eed us - he did take the pic though!

 

Just watched it. Muff should have had a pen when Wilson was barged over. They didn't show the other claim (involving Surman). Wednesday pen was fine as were the two yellows for Muff sending off.
