If Xisco picks the team Pedro starts imo as he needs a result for the sake of his job and it's Pedro's turn. If Gino picks the team, Xisco may as well not be there, he's a dead man walking
Hughes left wing, Cleverley right wing. Chalo the creative force driving fwd in the centre. We got this.
The last game was so frustrating this will be the first time this season I am not sure if I will watch the game. The team selection will be critical to my interest in watching. If it looks like Xisco is trying something different I will watch in hope of seeing some attempt to score some goals.
I honestly don't care any more. Deeney up front, terrible, clueless football, no real chances created, players played out of position, the Spanish waiter clapping furiously as the Benny Hill theme plays in his head, a 1-0 penalty win that'll massage Deeney's continent sized ego and create some sort of skewed justification for his undroppable status, or exactly the same performance just without the penalty or any points involved. It's all inevitable. Zzzzzzzzz. Wake me up when Pozzo, Duxberry, Deeney and Gray have stopped stealing the soul from the club in another 5 years or so.
Just reading up on Xisco’s press conference from today - quite literally nothing he says makes sense does it?
As unintelligible as the rest of it. ‘It’s the moment to give maximum confidence to them...’ ‘Right now we have a little problem (scoring goals) but we will see after we score the first goal, it should open everything, and after we will have other things...’ ‘I know what we need. For me, it’s okay. We have a big dream...’ I know English isn’t his first language but he’s fluent enough to actually say things that make sense and aren’t just the same ramblings game after game. Has also said Deeney needs to be in the box more - considering Deeney has taken it upon himself to play more in midfield in recent games, god knows how that’s gonna work out. But I will be assuming Troy won’t be listening. This is where a decent coach does their best work - if Deeney has disobeyed the instruction to play in and around the box, then drop him. Don’t just say the same thing, reward him with a start and watch him ignore you all over again. I cannot believe we have given this guy another 1-4 games.
It all feels like the ITV digital saga: club haemorrhaging money, leadership eye not on the ball, team not performing, players taking the pi55, manager not making sense... and we know how that ended up.
Everything he says in this article is nonsense. Although to be fair the Observer don't help him by quoting him verbatim when they could reorder his words a bit to make them make slightly more sense. https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...ssure-watford-prepare-bristol-city-challenge/ He reminds me of a particularly vacuous Apprentice candidate who only communicates in clichés. Or someone that that is in a cult and has been brainwashed. Surely this kind of claptrap doesn't inspire anyone?
I hope Mariappa gets torn a new one by Sarr. He deserves it for leaving the club with a mere Instagram post. If he really loved Watford he would have phoned every single fan and personally thanked us for giving him **** during his last season here.
He was rested in the cup match last night as he will need all his energy to catch sarr and our overlapping full back
Abdi, Behrami and that thick tart Ora were all born in the SFR Yugoslavia. Lipa was born in London. Tito je nas, mi smo Titovi! Bratstvo i jedinstvo!
I thought Ora was born in Pristina in Kosovo, then in Albania. Lipa is from Albanian parents who spent stacks of cash taking her to singing lessons. Her voice is so flat. Her father is the real singing talent.
Wow, you are clutching at straws with that statement. I went to Yugoslavia before it split up. I fully admit that l had no idea of it history at the time. Travelled all over the Country. Great people, very friendly and bloody tall. We just changed our money on the black market, keeping an eye out for Government security force. I didn't that they hated each other so much. Zagreb was just grey, dull and people focused on our Walkmans as if we were spacemen. The water front at Split just stank of sewage, Dubrovnik was outstanding, Sarajevo was great. I watch motorbike racing at some track, can't remember where. It had TITO in massive white letters up on the mountain side. Like a poor man's Hollywood. Great time and a great Country.
It may be controversial, but perhaps laying into Xiscos conferences is not all that warranted. Someone said he’s fluent enough to not get misintepreted, but he clearly says ‘curious’ things enough to suggest he hasnt got the finer nuances of english. I’m not saying he is or isnt good, and with the circus going on around him i dont really see how anyone could prove that at the moment. He’s tasked with getting a tune out of a guitar with 3 strings, 2 of those made of pasta.
Kosovo has never been in Albania. It was part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes created by the victors of WW1, then renamed Yugoslavia. Back then it was about 30% Serb 70% Albanian. Yugoslavia broke up between 91 and 95, and Kosovo was still part of what was left until they declared independence in 2008. After the Kosovan war in 1999 it was basically run by the UN and is 88% Albanian, 7% Serb, 5% other. Ora, the Andre Gray of pop, was born in Pristina when it was still part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia . There endeth the lesson. Sorry, I could genuinely talk about the history of Yugoslavia all night - and what a night it would be!
I like this a lot, but at the same time I feel like it credits Andre with being far more successful at the actual job part of his job than he is.
Thanks for the info. I am sure a lecture from you on Saturday would be far more enjoyable than watching the shower of dogshit that is Watford right now. Break out the Sarajevsko Pivo
When you give your talk at 3 on Saturday, don't forget to mention that Mother Teresa (born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu) was an ethnic Albanian, born in Skopje (now the capital of North Macedonia) to parents from Pristina, when the area was under Ottoman rule.
She was a religious fanatic and a terrible person. I went to Skopje last year - it was very odd. They've spent a fortune on trying to make it look historic, but have only succeeded in making it look like a theme park.
My Mrs spent 18 months working in Calcutta (for Calcutta Rescue) while that dreadful old crone was holding court. Adamantly opposing birth control in that empoverished crowded city.
