Anything before 1990 would have pretty insubstantial at Wycombe. Amateur hour. Not sure which league they wanted to be in. But O’Neill! What times! Non league Clough.
N Natural habitat of the Welbeck. Also, the lesser spotted Wiltshire. Kinda thing IBB might say, possibly.
I am a folder. I use to be a scruncher but the toilet would clog too often. I found that I can use less toilet roll but get more wipes in before the first flush with the folded method. Then when the second flush comes around I have nothing to fear and I have significantly decreased the chances of a clogged toilet. Shirley there is a way to fold moss?
I was only in the area for a short period of my life, through infant and junior school. My old man took me to the games as he worked for the club with Graham Taylor and then Harry Bassett. I then moved up north for the end of junior and senior school, could of easily jumped ship and started following The bigger north west teams but I chose to stick by The Orn's, the other kids never even knew who Watford were and as for my accent well that changed in time, so now I turn up to watch us and get some funny looks probably from you. As for sticking by Watford I wouldn't and couldn't change it for the world still get that feeling in my gut and tingle down my back when I'm watching.
'Dreamin dreams of Andre Carrillo, every game he is hugging that wingo'! Think he will be on the bench with Prodl so hopefully Pereyra to start with some adjustment across the front line. Deeney and Capoue luv playing the Arse as they have a soft belly and jelly for a backbone. Harass and starve their creative outlets and we have a great chance of winning this one. They are no longer a top four side. If we can battle with a tough WBA I am sure we are capable of dealing with this load of fancy Dans.
Are we a 'real flop by those standards'? We've finished runner's up in the top flight, appeared in six FA Cup semi-finals since 1970 (the best record outside the top seven) and a League Cup semi-final. Not too shabby then really. What we don't have of course is a trophy. That situation needs remedying a.s.a.p. Quitting losing to also-rans at the start of the League Cup (or whatever the latest morph is) would be a good start.
Having a 'back up position' is a bit fair weather. Isn't supporting a team only when they're doing well what glory-hunters do?
Yep it's pointless alright. And that's the way the loo roll should remain. Mind you, I suppose unfolding it again so you can use it while sat on the pan gives you something to do if you haven't got access to a quality newspaper.
I went to the UEA so lived in Narrch for three years and went to see them a few times and wanted them to win when I did. Can't stand the barstewards now though. Never saw them play us during that period. Then it was Aberdeen for another four years and I properly supported the Dons (not a rival of ours of course). They were really good back then. 80-84. Ferguson was the manager. Sailed across the North Sea to Gothenburg in 83 to see them stuff Real Madrid 2-1 a.e.t. in the Cup Winner's Cup. Remember walking back into town after they beat Rangers 2-1 and hearing on the radio that we'd just beaten Sunderland 8-0. Then it was Edinburgh for 30 years. I started off 'supporting' Hearts (the Jambos) in a low-key kinda way. My wife was a Hibbee though. All her pals were Jambos and they took the piss mercilessly. For nearly all that time the Jambos were the better team. Eventually I got p.ssed off with it and switched allegiances in sympathy. A bit like becoming a Scummer. Her pals couldn't understand it at all and were royally p.ssed off too. Ha! Anyway, the point of this tale is that I reckon it's fine to 'support' another team if you get washed up in their town. Because you like going to the football and the experience of watching any football match is always enhanced if you're partisan and rooting for one team to win. That support is of course whole orders of magnitude less than my proper support for my first love, WFC. That has been a constant throughout albeit mostly from a distance. Not distant anymore though!
I dont think football is entertaining enough of a spectacle for me to watch another club if I was in another town. I find WFC matches deeply tedious if I'm sober, it'd be ten times worse if I didnt have a stake in the outcome.
Well a confident lot in the predictions league. Out of 24 entries so far: 0-1 - 4.2% (1) 1-0 - 4.2% (1) 1-1 - 12.5% (3) 1-2 - 20.8% (5) 1-3 - 16.7% (4) 2-1 - 25% (6) 2-2 - 12.5% (3) 3-1 - 4.2% (1) 96% think we will at least score. 96% think they will at least score. 92% think both teams will score. 25% think we will draw. 33% think we will win. 58% think we won't lose.
So no Mustafi or Chambers. Koscielny and Kolasinac also doubts as well. Think that leaves Mertesacker and Holding? If so, Carrillo, Richarlison and Gray will absolutely destroy them for pace.
The key is "we don't have a trophy". I started this because of the description of Norwich and Ipswich as "unsuccessful", even though they do. BTW, I forgot that the lesser of those two has also won the FA Cup, and has groomed more England managers than Watford (unless you count Aidy)
Yep, there are loads of tin pot clubs that can lord it over us because they've won a trophy. Sitting in the premier league for a few seasons is incomparable to actually having a trophy that will be in the history books forever. That's why it makes me rage when people are so blase about the league cup. We are in no position to have that attitude.
I try not to mention Wiltshire if at all possible RD, he makes me feel unwell! My socks are ready,as is my lucky twig. I was born in The Stanborough nursing home in Garston and saw my first match at Fratton Park when I was approximately six.This is apposite as I think we lost 6-1 or close with Mike Trebilcock scoring a few,possibly three. I've been to Carrow Road and the noisy pub nearby where they play Led Zepplin constantly. Interestingly Keith Tomlin won the Norwich tournament in 1989 having lost in qualifying and returned to the first round as a lucky loser! I quite enjoyed Fever Pitch but much prefer Douglas Adams. I will not be drinking any amount of Baileys today or tomorrow. Hoping for a point.
It's quite strange how much one club means to you. I lived in Sheffield for 4 years and went to a handful of Wednesday games each season, genuinely could not give a f*** what the result was. Often I found myself routing for the opposition just to hear the disappointment among the home fans around me.
Just been reading a couple of arsenal forums. It seems rupert, hugo etc are worried about this one, thinking our brutish, testosterone fuelled juggonauts are going to bully their effeminate, frail little fruits into submission all over the park. I ******* hope so. (I presume they've never seen femenia or pereyra)
Worked with the youth team and reserves, as a physio/magic sponge man. He was only part time as he was still serving in the forces at HMS Warrior Northwood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That is the thing with Arsenal - they don't like a bit of physical play at all. All they want us to is sit back and watch them pass the ball around. Doubt Silva will set us up like the latter though.
I was the same when I moved to Nottingham. I went to a few Forest games, genuinely hoping I could develop a healthy interest in a local club. But I just ended building a healthy hatred for them. Their sense of entitlement was nauseating.
My Dad worked at Northwood too but fixing the computers that were used to control the naval fleets. Back then the computers were so big and cumbersome he used to fix them with spanners and screwdrivers.
