    3 cheers for Nick Alcock there. A brilliant example of why I like small, unfashionable clubs, and what insufferable ****s fans of the 'sleeping giant', 'big' clubs who've been out of the top division for decades are, alongside the insane air of entitlement they parade around.

    Personally feel Derby got the better end of the deal, swapping Vydra for Hughes

    This is true, however I suspect Hughes really is that blonde. If not, he's been dying his eyebrows too

    Shows how far we have come that Derby are our feeder club, and we send them our cast offs

    HUGHES UPDATE

    Sky Sports News HQ understands some elements of the deal between Watford and Derby for midfielder Will Hughes have been agreed.

    We understand personal terms are unlikely to prove a problem but, at this stage, the final transfer figure and payment schedules are still to be agreed.

    Well you say that, but has anyone considered that we may have sold him too soon?

    I agree, a fee that could rise to £8mil is way to much for a unproven premier league player. I can only imagine that is what Sky are talking about. I'm sure Gino laughed at their £8mil valuation. He's worth £7.9mil at the most.

    Was curious to see what they were saying. This was my favourite:

    "if we exchange hughes for vydra and Anya plus a £5 million hole in Mel Morris pocket.

    if we sell hughes for the figure being quoted that will be three times in a year that Watford has bummed us over. Why doesn't mel just bend over, part his bum cheeks and make the job easier for Watford."

    Not to mention the irony of a Derby fan criticising our performance in the premier league - after their 11 points and relegated in March season the last time they were there.

    Yeah man, who the **** do they think they are? The fact we stayed in the PL and got 3 times more points than them makes me feel superior and helps to keep my ego inflated even though the whole conversation is meaningless and pointless.

    Trevor How. Not saying he was pale, but I remember a game under Mike Keen when the floodlights went out and they placed Trev next to the emergency exit so people could see their way out safely.

    A guy on twitter has claimed the Hughes deal is an initial 4.5million with add-ons leading to a possible 8 million.

    I usually take everything on twitter with a pinch of salt, but this guy has 78k followers and was apparently the first person to break the story of Mazzarri being sacked before it was announced. (Also it's nice to believe this one)

    If that's the case I can't wait to read the Derby forum when they find out

    It seems that some of them have also seen the tweet...

    Derby forum member Mr "Needles" posted:

    "I don't know whether to scream, cry, or punch someones ******* ear hole.

    At £8m I was mortified.

    At £4.5m that's me done.

    Have Watford got pictures of Mel knobbing something?"


    The last line got me giggling.

    I kinda feel for 'em because I would feel exactly the same if Arsenal pinched Pereyra or Doucoure from us for around £10,000,000....But at the same time, their lot seem like right deluded ***** claiming "Anyone but Watford, they're awful" and "We're selling one of our best players to a team worse than us" is a bit off putting for any sympathy. Shame really because I never really had anything against Derby or it's fans

    In fairness they have spent 6 seasons in the Prem in the last 20 years and last time they were in the land of giants they did amass a huge total of 11 points. So they are much bigger than us and it is crazy that Hughes doesn't realise this.
