If BFS is in, he'll only have Christmas Eve and Christmas day to instill this new approach. I reckon he won't want a defeat first game and appointment will not be until next week.
Anyhow, them palarse singy blokes will be all loud, so 1881 et al, we need to be singyer and louder. I'm sure I read somewhere there's no trains on Boxing Day, so maybe they won't come? I'll be having a hangover
We should get at their players with lots of taunts of how they got Pardew sacked and that Sam's a big fat crook.
Yep nailed on defeat if ever I saw one. Like when we were last on tv on Boxing Day at home to Wolves and lost a miserable game 0-1. Expect a repeat this Monday.
Im chuckling at the media frenzy thats surrounding Big Sam, like he s the greatest manager thats walked the earth. It reminds me of the cliched stories we heard last year about Ighalo and Deeney every game, even though the Watford fans knew they were seriously underperforming. This is the table the BBC are wheeling out... [/IMG] The facts in that table tell you that every club hes managed hes conceded more goals than scored, and that he averages about 1.2 points per game ie 45 points over a season. Hardly the stats of a top manager.
The stats suggest he's average but he's good at getting a bit of fight and being safe but nothing more. In fact I felt as England manager we were never going to get relegated.
Deeney at 7/1 for first goal scorer looks good (based on law of averages rather than recent evidence). Palace are a shambles and anyone who thinks that fat, chiselling, gum-chewing, slob Allardyce can turn them round in two days is in for a shock. 4-1. Happy xmas to all
But according to the media Sam will turn the Palace relegation prospects into title favourites after 1 hour training session
There's so much pessimism on this forum that we're bound to win now. In 7 hours you lot are going to be hailing this as one of the best Watford squads ever put together and that we're bound for Europe in a matter of a season or less. Cheers.
I'm as trepidatious about our possibly makeshift defence facing Fat Sam's aerial bombardment as anyone, and the fact that it is now being launched at us in the colours of the Holmesdale Ultras is like a perfect storm of terrible omens. That being said, remember Sammie's first game at Sunderland was a 1-0 loss to a much-worse-than-currently West Brom, and they were still on the wrong end of embarrassing tankings, such as the 4-1 against Spurs, in January of last season. That match marked Kirchoff's debut and made him look like the worst CB in the league, and look at what Sunderland fans think of him now, so there's always plenty of scope for mistakes even under fire from the assembled siege engines of Allardici.
Is anyone remotely excited by the prospect of Ighalo and Deeney as our front two for this ? I can't remember the last time I genuinely was. Sometime around the Man City game in January I think. That's pretty shocking now I've come to think of it.
