    You are taking a big risk telling the world the truth. To be honest I doubt if any posts from the TUT name will be from you from now on.

    In a club where there is no continuity of management, in that the whole coaching team changes around twice a season, it's natural for players to be the ones bringing that.

    This was bad last season as the attitude was poor.

    This season it's turned into a positive. Leaders off and on the pitch taking responsibility and buying into the coach for the time being.

    If we want to be less reliant on player power, good or bad, they have to know that the manager will be around at least as long as they are.

    I heard Deeney hurt himself after Foster balanced him on the balcony rail at the hotel.

    'Troy may have a low IQ but his ability to manipulate and control the people around him has been exceptional.'

    How many dictators throughout history have there been with a low IQ?
    This is a very common trait.

    You cannot argue with his scoring record at Watford. His time is coming to an end at Watford and he is clearly positioning himself for a media career.
    He is a 'streetwise guy' from a rough gangland area. He is savvy enough to know how to manipulate people, use their weakness to his advantage. Some may say ' a bully', but this is a word put about too often.
    He is always going on about his past, he has been doing this for years. I feel that most other players couldn't give a toss about his background, but would never openly say it.
    It appears vital to him that he remains in the public eye, for reasons only he knows. My guess is that deep down he graves adulation and will miss the limelight.
    He has been a very good player during his time at Watford. The fans will remember this.
    Then again, what do l know?

    No. More likely to do with human psychology and leadership structures.

    That’s a lot of presumptions presented as facts.

  10. Getting a bit fed up with this Deeney bashing. He has managed to turn a moderate footballing talent into a good career by hard work and determination. He has been a fantastic servant to the club and pivotal to us getting to where we are now. He has overcome a difficult childhood and limited education to establish the seeds of a media career by being decent, articulate and funny. His first responsibility is to his family, not to his employer, although I have never seen evidence of a conflict. He has, as far as I can see, been completely supportive of Xisco and the team in the second half of this season.

    All careers come to an end. Do you really expect him to put his hands up, take an 80% pay cut and walk away to a lower champ team? That will come over the next couple of years anyway, why would he accelerate it? Give him a break and acknowledge the part he has played in making us a club that can have expectations of EPL football.

    Hitler had a PhD in human psychology and leadership structures, as did Theresa May.

  12. What evidence is there that TD has a low IQ? I would say the complete opposite; good IQ, poor education/life chances. The anti-Rees-Mogg, if you will. Some people are easily duped by an accent. I mean, how has that thick Brummy Brian Cox got himself on telly so much?

    I agree with you that Cleverley has been one of the players to be pretty decent all season when fit bit I know some were a bit more negative about some players generally.

    About as feasible as some muppet on the scum forum postulating that Pozzo had bribed the Brentford and Swansea players to throw games to enable us to clinch 2nd spot. Some of them actually discussed it as if it were possible.

    And we don't know what the training sessions were like under Ivic. If they were as boring and monotone as the way he portrayed himself, no wonder the football was so awful.

    Some of the names on a modern list of dictators would be Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao........... and now we can add Deeney to that list? To misquote a famous film line "Troy's not a dictator ............ he's just a very naughty boy".

    Absolutely nothing to do with Troy, but this is one of those interesting things about serial killers - they're often obsessed with pretending the opposite, and popular culture perpetuates this idea that they're all psychopathic geniuses, but actually on average they have a lower IQ than the genpop.

    Look at the BTK killer, who was so stupid that he was baited by the police into sending them a floppy disk with his ramblings having been assured the data on it couldn't be used to trace him, at which point they used the data on it to trace him and caught the fu ckwit. Hilarious.
     
  21. I was making the point (clumsily) that a posh accent does not make you clever and a regional accent does not make you thick. One poster seem to have interpreted TD's brummy accent as 'low IQ'.

    Annie Oakey, while touring Europe in 1890, shot a cigarette out of the mouth of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. If she'd aimed a bit to the left she would probably have prevent two world wars. True story.

    So the celebration video is up.

    If Cathcart dancing in a towel (7:40) isn't a GIF before the end of today I'll be disappointed.

    Worth getting promoted just for that.

    Warning: the rest of the video features more pecs than Bernard Matthews' farm.

    Deeney telling Chalobah that he will be club captain next season suggests Troy will be off this summer.
