    Maybe but its not really worth it now.

    Its done..if they want to moan then so be it.

    Anyway if it wasn't for this we'd be criticised for being small time/having a rubbish ground or poor support.

    Its just another thing for opposition fans to beat us with.

    Also, adding to FFP aeguments. To avoid it, wouldn't we technically have to be spending huge amounts? We aren't spending much, if anything, other than registration fees therefore well within the rules and terms of FFP.

    Other teams could acquire a 25 goal a season striker for free who was an unknown and out of contract last season, would that be a good find or a deliberate breaking of the rules?

    I love it. We've done nothing wrong, everyone hates us and other fans are carping themselves about playing us now! Happy days!

    It's not hate, it's pure green-eyed envy.

    You know each and every one of them would swap places with us if they could.

    Seems I'm the only one but it's not that entertaining for me?

    Rather we just get on with our job and seal promotion rather than try arguing with idiots who when they realise we are right just start nit picking on something else. Boring:sleeping::sleeping:

    What's funny is they think these players were sold for under market value. The market values is set between the two clubs. Would they rather a system where each player is valued by the FL and only value or higher bids are allowed to be made?

    Why are Palace complaining - they beat us and went up!

    Incase they come straight back down I guess..

    Shouldn't they be concentrating on the likes of Hull signing Danny Graham and Norwich getting international players.

    Everyone knew it was going to happen as its what the Pozzos do - its not our fault the FL didn't have a clue.

    Good stuff Watford.

    Leicester just get more and more embarassing.

    I'm guessing their owners have as much clout as yours (financially) yet are effin clueless, whereas yours seem to have it sussed.

    From what I've read of these deals, I dunno how anyone can actually complain this time. Isn`t it just the same as an owner giving a club his money to buy players? But instead of just cash, they're using other assetts they own.

    Hope you do it this year, last season you were the most exciting team in this season, hope you're the most consistent this season.

    That thread just is utter bollox...

    I'm extremely happy to be support Watford still because the players last year WANTED to play for Watford - Just look at the scenes at end of the Leicester game.

    The same core is with us next year, with some new additions and by the photos etc we are going to enjoy the same team spirit again next year - We Are Watford, and they will be Watford through and through -

    See you in the promised land next season Palace -








    Oh no wait....

    Palace fans make me laugh. They are about to go through 12 months of ar5e stretching pain and all they can think about is Watford. Bunch of egg and chips *******s.

    "It really is real life football manager stuff where you take over two clubs and funnel players in that otherwise wouldn't have been got."

    "Still, it makes it all the sweeter that whilst Cardiff threw **** loads at trying to get promoted last year and Watford tried to effectively cheat their way there by owning players otherwise completely unrealistic and not available on the open market - we got there on a relative shoestring. Makes the memory at Wembley all that much sweeter."

    Are Palace fans happy about what Man City are doing?

    They are in the same league next year, so shouldn't they be complaining about that?

    Compared to Bassini and Ashton certainly!

    Maybe these other fans think we had chairman who ran the club well and with the best interests of the fans at heart hence the questioning as to why we like the Pozzos.

    Palace are concerned about our signings, and we aren't even playing them next season. They should spend more time worrying about how many goals they are going to concede.

    They have always been whingers though, to the point where they set fire to their own town, so it is no real surprise.

    I will wave as they pass us when we go up next season.

    Ha! I know.

    Ironic that their manager, Nigel Pearson, left Hull City for a better chance of the PL (and miles better wages).

    Now you see them cutting their cloth accordingly, although from reading their forums their fans are as arrogant and deluded as ever.

    Palace lack class too - is it Millwall who call them the 'Stripey Nigels'? Suits 'em. Normally like the underdog, but would like to them splatted to be fair.

    It's hilarious how bitter some of the Palace fans are; they won the Playoff final, yet you'd think we stuffed them judging by the obsession some of them seem to have.

    I suppose when your next season is going to resemble what happened to Marsellus Wallace in the pawn shop, you need to find something to latch onto.

    A quote from a Palace fan on their forum a month ago. Spooky.




    "There is no way there will suddenly be 8 free transfers from the Pozzos other clubs to Watford, it just wont happen"

    Let them know we paid more for Acuna than Udinese paid Real Madrid for him.

    might have been £1 maybe as much as £1.50
