Out of his depth, as he showed at Stoke. Scum had a very easy run in to stay up. I think they've only got where they are with Harford scaring them and that won't be enough at this level. I didn't realise what a weedy little turd he was until today. Norman Price's stunted little brother. Probably crying that Jesus didn't give him 3 points.
Just watching the Deeney clip for the 127th time and the most telling thing is how none of their players want it with him or Ngakia at all. He nearly puts their player in a neck brace and they were still in complete awe of him. That and 19 year old Pedro shrugging their oaf centre back off the ball just goes to show that they couldn’t even challenge us physically today despite all their talk pre-game about being ‘up for the fight’ and it ‘meaning more to them’. Absolutely pathetic team and looking at their manager you can see exactly why that is.
Agree, the tamest derby ever, even the friendly for the Ross Jenkins testimonial had more of an edge to it. Still, I'm not complaining, loving the manager and his approach, he's had a baptism of fire and is proving to be a real leader. Thank you Vlad, if I could share this 18 year old malt with you I would and with everyone else too, still together in spirit!!!
I think that is a very disrespectful interview. Calling into question the opposition team’s manager and staff. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard that in a post match interview before. Thankfully he and his staff were not lacklustre and knew it was a derby!!!
Rest of the season is now dead to me. We beat the scum at home, job done. Nothing else matters this season. A bonus point for the emphatic way they absolutely rolled over.
We might look back on today as a key point in the season. Had we lost, spirits are low, fans are uneasy, looks like a slog for getting in the playoffs. There would be so much needed to improve and no forseeable solution Winning could provide a springboard to the season, its seen Sarr get involved, Pedros off the mark, Deeneys back (might be positive). We're winding up nicely for this season and the performances are on the upturn. No goals conceded and the parts we can improve will see us unstoppable if we get it right. Whats incredible is Ivics macaibi team conceded 9 in the entire season and he's started here with 3 clean sheets. It simply cannot be a fluke.
Has anyone checked the reaction on the opposition forum? I’m not prepared to sully my iPad by going there myself.
What are you basing that analysis on? As in, what scenario do you see unfolding that will cause it to be suspended/cancelled?
If your game depends on you "being up for it" than relying on a good structure and team ethic then you're on a hiding to nothing. Use them as additional motivation for sure but not as the main means of competing. What we saw today was a team who had a very clear pattern of play and applying their quality. The other was reliant on trying out talk the opposition before it, before looking for excuses why they lost than trying to establish the causes. Easy to see how that worked out.
It's a bit like us on here when we lose to a big team, a team that's far superior and something you'd like to be at some point but deep down you know you'll never ever ever ever ever reach that level.
I went onto Luton Outlaws. I think the forum has been set-up for some school kids in their lunch-break. It makes this forum look like a work of art
When I looked earlier it seemed to be pretty widely accepted we were the better team, apart from one twit who was adamant they were better and had the ‘better passages of play’.
It’s a hideous thing isn’t it. In this day and age is it really necessary to have a forum that looks and works like that? It makes teletext look like skynet.
I honestly couldn't tell you. Despite being in the same league, they are so far apart from us in terms of ability and class that I still can only name one of their players.
I knew of James Collins and that was about it before today, safe to say I won't be forgetting his name in a hurry!
Yes, he is. But I'm trying to remember the incident clearly: Was he not dropped in it a bit by the pass to him the first place?
Oh yes. I've just been banned from there in fact, after trying to start a civilised conversation. The knuckle draggers started foaming at the mouth and bashing their keyboards in rage when they realised I was a Watford fan. The general concensus is though that we were the better team, but that Deeney is a coward for approaching their man from behind (surprisingly no admittance on their that their man was a little weasel for throwing the ball away like that), that we are just a bunch of Italian mercenaries who are everything that is wrong with football and considering that their whole team is worth half as much as Sarr's left shoe lace, they did superbly to do as well as they did. Foverer in our shadow.
Ive seen mention on twitter, and their half loaded abortion of a message board, forum if you must, that they regard us as a franchise. Not quite sure I understand why?
A distinct lack of understanding as to what a franchise is. Talk about clutching at straws. Their fans seem to bang on about having more soul, which seems to be simply based on the fact that they've been crap for decades. Inverted snobbery at its most ********.
Pre match I asked for us to seize the day. Consider the day seized ! Plenty of post match beer drunk but how good would it have been to have been at the Vic today. Ps . What a Pathetic vile little weasel of a man their manager is.
Oh a serious note, the Luton Outlaws forum really is full of some vile and disgusting people. Have a casual browse through and you'll find both homophobia and racism. That's just from today! Can they get the hatrick by adding a bit of mysogyny into the mix perhaps?
Quality. Also am I right in thinking that Sonny Bradley is their No. 5 - and their captain? If so, the ball not only deflected off him for the goal, but he's also the idiot who threw the ball at Ngakia to then melt when confronted by Troy.
They may not have got the result, but fair play, the scum did win the possession battle! Greatest achievement in their history!
Both of their fans on this look like their mothers were on meth while they were in the womb. Almost feel sorry for them.
