Is Merson right?

Maybe. But they can improve. Both Beckham and Rooney became much more lucid and media savvy after a bit of coaching in media interaction from the place they were as raw 17 y.olds from sink estates in east London and Liverpool.

 

Agreed.
Bob Wilson was as wooden as a wooden thing on a wooden day initially but he improved hugely.
I can detect little change in Merson's delivery.

 

He's predicting a 2-0 win for us Saturday.

 

Dammit!!!

 

Mark Lawrenson also predicts a 2-0 win. Just as a point of the fact that we seem to be established in the PL by some pundits I did like the last sentence of Lawro's prediction

Silva is looking a bit chubby in that photo. Too much time in Zincos probably, the fat get.

 

I think I might 'pop into Zinco's' tomorrow too. Happy to field any further 'a bit overweight' questions as a consequence.

 

He's now given every team a grade on the transfer window. Makes me laugh as he hasn't heard of most players bought by the clubs and of those that have bought a large number he just says "they are having a go" all the time. He's given us a grade B.

 

Is Merson right?

Well if you throw **** at a fan some of it will stick.

 

I hope we get relegated just to add further egg to his face for bottling his prediction so early.

 

Not much sticks to the fan. Not if it's turned on.
Or did you mean football fan?

 

Danny Murphy doesn't think we'll do very well because...er...something.

In fact all he says applies to absolutely every team ever.

 

I know we’ve universally agreed that ’Mersons Predictions’ are irrelevant and humorous - but this weeks is a classic. In a nutshell...

WBA unlucky at Arsenal but not been great this season. Watford have been superb and won all their games. Prediction on that basis? 1-0 West Brom. Set piece.

Imagine if he had a ghostwriter. Easiest job in the world because you know what he’ll say long before he’s said (and mispronounced) it.

 

He copied Lawro's prediction, as he also said 1-0 to West Brom. Lawro has only got it right once this season with Watford, because Watford have only lost one game.

Interesting Merson said set piece. I wonder if he means from the penalty spot?

 

He predicted us to draw with Liverpool.

 

I'm so angry with Merson's and Lawro's predictions that I'm only watching Sky and the BBC's sports output this weekend through gritted teeth.

 

Oh God I'm panicking now, he never get's it wrong!

 

Why are our fans so obsessive about Merson and Lawro?

 

Give us a kiss and I'll tell you!

 

Why is it obsessive to bring it up? I think people have been clear that we take what they say with a pinch of salt - but like it or not, it’s media coverage of a game featuring our club so isn’t the forum the place where we can mention it?

 

Couldn't resist.

 

Maybe baby

 

Don't think this chump warrants his own thread, so I've lumped him in with Merson's - have a look/listen to what Harry Redknapp said about us this afternoon:

Another Watford fan on Twitter then brought this to our attention, recorded 2 years ago (listen from 1 min 48s):

A lot of people on here won't care either way; a lot will probably not be surprised to hear such ignorance from the football relic that he's now become. Posting here just to see what others make of it.

 

That's it! I'm not taking Harry Redknapp seriously anymore.

 

Funny.

 

I conclude that Redknapp is talking mumbling bullhooks (again).

I think what he's really questioning is why we didn't buy Niko Kranjcar

 

I love the clubs official response to Droopy.

 

I love on the audio when one of the panel actually tries to explain what happened in that season, Redknapp’s response was to talk over him and mock him which says all you need to know really. That he got cheers and laughter from the audience also shows why the next PM in this country will be elected in a similar way to Trump. Never mind the facts/policies he says funny/soundbite things.

 

There's a reason 'arry hadn't heard of our managers...his clubs often failed to get in to Europe, or when they did made a quick exit
