Looking for COGs? Get yourself into gear, get your teeth into it, and these things can soon turn around.
When we beat the Cherries 3-0 , it really did seem unlikely that we were going to get relegated, we seemed to be so much more confident and slick. And then we lost Sarr for a few games, Delefeuo forever and the rest is history. Will anyone ever write an honest, believable insight into what genuinely went on. unpaid bonuses, player power, managers fighting with players/board members etc, i've yet to see anything concretely believable that explains it all. But if, if, if Ivic can keep the dressing room mood good then we'll go back up. Thus, prediction is 2-0 to Boscombe.
A real opportunity to lay down a marker in this game. And I think we will take it with aplomb. A massive massive win incoming on our foregone conclusion journey to the Championship trophy. We will be top at 5pm after this game on Sunday. Can't wait! I also think the mystery returning player might be Deloufeu! COYH! 3-0 Watford. Capoue, Sarr, Kiko.
Yes we were a class above them that day and like you I thought we would comfortably pull away. Could never have envisaged Muff finishing above us at that point. Hey ho.
This is the kind of game where we go all Watfordy and lose 2-0 having made a good start. Im hoping Ivic has had long enough to instil belief and a system that can grind us a defensive 1-0. He wont like what he saw in terms of defending in the Blackburn game so should be turning the screw. We need our best starting 11 and everyone completely focused to achieve this. I think this is a real test and will show us whether we are genuine title contenders or whether we will be also rans
And we didn’t win away again until Derby this season - arguably that’s the prime reason why we were relegated, more so than the result at Villa Park. Cannot expect to stay up with just two away wins all season when you don’t win at home until Xmas...
Oh dear. Football League "expert" David Prutton has predicted us to win for the first time this season. Prepare yourselves for the inevitable defeat after the kiss of death from the low-rent Lawro.
Surely cannot take anyone who hasn’t predicted us to win any of our first 6 games seriously. He’s clearly got an agenda against us and is now going for the trusted reverse psychology approach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Such a relief that my concerns have been listened to and finally we are back to playing against Premier League clubs I have actually heard of. Not the most glamorous Premier League club of course, but it's a start. I will continue lobbying the powers that be and sooner or later we will be playing the big boys again. As for the game, with AFC Cheating Cheaters released from the shackles of VAR this could be a very frustrating affair. Obviously man for man we are better than them in every position, but we will likely have to compensate for a man and 2 penalty disadvantage. AFCCC's entire recent success has been built on lies. They resort to these tactics as they are too cowardly to try to beat other teams in a fair contest. They know they would come unstuck. When VAR eventually filters down the leagues, expect AFCCC to filter down with it to their natural level of League Two. Prediction Watford 4-2 AFC Cheating Cheaters Ngakia (63, 89, 90+1), Sarr (90+4), Kabasele (sent off 6); Arter (pen 7), Wilson (pen 45+2)
@betwetters, there's a real chance of a loss here. Bournemouth can destroy our home record and with the added spice of them being are ryvels we can really get some mileage out of this.
Exactly. A clear agenda. What we need to do is protest as a group and not listen to his predictions anymore. I used to hang on his every word but not anymore. He probably rights for The Sun as well.
I'd love to take credit for this or claim a fake victory in front of a fake audience by arguing til the end of days like the usual old weapons on here but sadly I did get this from Twitter. Pretty sure there's an account dedicated to it. I did say COG first. And it was obvious why, because I am now one. COYH! I'm so back in love with my team that I might even go to the odd game when the fans are allowed back in. If the trains still run from the Midlands. Anyone know?
There's always a space for you at my right hand if we lose tomorrow or if Capoue and Sarr get injured or if we sell JP in January for 10m.
I thought JP was going for £15m the other day? Just scored again and his value drops by £5m, but hey ho, Pozzo model and all that!
Buyer club: “£50mil for JP” Gino: “You sure? £50mil is a lot of money Buyer club: “Just take our money.” Gino: “I’m sorry but I can’t let you do that. Tell you what, give us £20mil and we will call it an undisclosed fee.”
0-3 JP sent off 2 mins Arter 3 pens (10, 20, 45) Perica sent off (78) All decisions made by 4th official (i.e. Muff bench)
This is a tough one to call. We score goals but so do Bournemouth. They're a plucky side and titans of the south coast. Hard to say what the result is going to be. One thing's for sure though. Whatever happens, we can all agree that by 2.30pm tomorrow, we'll know the final score.
I wish it weren't necessary, but we all know what the Boscombe Firm are like on their big days out...
I don't get why people think there is a rivalry especially when we have Luton and QPR in our division, they are such an irrelevant team not even clubs in close proximity care about them and its miles away from us, has anyone ever met a Bournemouth fan in person? I haven't.
Gino: 'A fiver for Harry Pickering' Crewe: '£10m for our backup keeper' Gino: 'Done, a pleasure doing business with you Sir'
You're forgetting the inevitable half hour delay when Sarr, JP and Capoue all suffer career-threatening injuries
They're a team I'd like to get the better of given our recent history, but 'rivalry' is stretching it lol
I mean, before a couple of weeks ago we hadn't played our derby match in 14 years. We jousted with Bournemouth for the entire season and then were promoted automatically as the two standout teams with plenty of flashpoints/controversial moments in the matches between us and the dual media narratives of 'plucky little Muff' as they dived their way to promotion, juxtaposed with the classic view of us as a basket case and everything wrong with football. We then both spent the next five years contending to survive and, if ever possible, thrive in the Prem. There was, as a result, a lot of back and forth between fans on social media throughout that time. It's nothing compared to Luton, obviously, but it was something that developed organically, and I feel like people who refuse to acknowledge the fact that the game has in recent years seemed to mean more in a niggling, irritating way are a bit like the Notts Forest/Sheff Wed/etc fans who screech constantly about what a big club they are because they played in Europe 40 years ago. It's no derby, but the sheer amount of discussion about whether it should mean something more or not every time the fixture comes around shows that it, in fact, does.
I have! I was in the Co-op doing a bit of shopping just at the time we went up to the Prem, when I bumped into a former work comrade who is interestes in football and supports Ozford. He gave me appropriate congratulations that I had earned on my wonderful promotion and commented that we just got pipped for the title. "Yeah **** gobbling Bournemouth!" I replied, obviously a bit too loud, because this bloke, maybe in his 30s, a bit scruffy and pale unhealthy looking, came over with his trolley and said to us "I'm a Bournemouth fan!". "Oh" we replied. Then we just sort of looked at him until he went away. So take that as a warning. Very, very sinister and peculiar people they turn out of Dorset.
Club shop producing sticks of wfc rock to make the hoards of geriatric afcb fans feel at home tomorrow. Nice touch.
Yes, but there's only five of them; the other half of their support will stay at home watching their team play a big club live on Sky Main Event.
