    The multiverse model. Looking at fluctuations in the cosmic background radiation a cold dark spot may be the presence of another universe pressing on our own. The cosmic foam.

    Perhaps in one of these with the same physical laws Watford are beating the above with comfort and sailing to another league title.

    In this one the exercise has to be damage limitation. A miracle if we get a draw. The one thing is. Not another sluggish opening 45 minutes.

    Cost us dearly today. Zero application and common sense in the first 15 minutes in such a crucial game. We just have to hope that in form Southampton and Ings beat Bournemouth and win by at least a couple and then Arsenal do the same at Villa.

    And then hope for the best against Arsenal but pray they both lose again. Disappointing does not describe the first half performance against a bang average West Ham team. Nothing special but allowed to go 3-0 up through sheer defensive inepitude.

    It was a shameful gutless first half. Yet again. Why yet again. Surely the players do not have to be motivated to get up for such a crucial match ? All eyes on the south coast on Sunday and the Midlands on Monday.

    Perhaps the visitors may be kind enough to put in a similar limp wristed performance as they did against Bournemouth and hopefully Stones and Disastermendi are playing centrally. That might just give us a sniff.

    I'm not a fan of adult entertainment. So I will probably avoid.

    3-0 Watford.

    I’m just gutted I didn’t pile on when we were 12/1 to go down after the Newcastle win. Serious and epic misjudgement that means my profit when we go down will only be measured in the hundreds rather than four figures. Oh the shame.

    I thought I'd put a tenner on a 16-1. Woke up and realised I'd been too pissed to complete the bet.

    Probably the most watfordy thing to ever happen to me.

    You need to frame that tenner as a lesson for the future you.

    I am expecting a significant improvement over the game earlier in the season. 0-5.

    Hope they beat us worse than last time, and they probably will.

    6-0, 8-0, so 10-0 incoming.

    I actually genuinely think we will lose about 7-0.

    An improvement on our last game against them. Where's Folquier?

    I hope City score double digits so every one of our team has to live with the shame for the rest of their careers, and are immortalised in history as the worst side ever in the PL.

    That accolade is beyond them. Derby and Sunderland were even worse. Mind you that 8-0 really bent our GD out of shape.

    Not only that but unless Norwich can get to 24pts they’ll move our 1999/00 effort - at the time the worst PL points tally ever - out to 7th worst!

    Would stick a team of fringe players out. Can't be worse. Might as well call up Elton John and see if he fancies a match.

    More power to who ever is playing Norwich.


    Lyric substitution time. No doubt the Watford FC social media feeds will be painting a positive picture.

    I think it's time to recall Hogg from that loan.

    I’d like to think Gino has a big ‘Recall Hogg’ button on his desk. Given the PL money it’ll be the works, you know. A flashing red thing with a protective cap over it and probably needs a key to activate it. Then, when he does press it, a massive fart noise goes off.

    Drop Deeney.

    Play Welbeck in the middle.

    Start Pedro.

    Drop the defence if needed.

    It can't go much worse than West Ham.

    Let's hope we improve on the away game, but i can't escape thinking the score will depend on how many City feel like scoring.

    Blue murder. It's our final home game and the players will be out to impress. Will they heck.
    Sterling Hat trick as our GD takes a pounding.

    0-6.

    If I was Nige I would put our recent record against City up on the board with a picture of our recent first half performances...

    It goes something like this ..
    Played 10
    W 0 D 0 L 10
    Goals for 4 Goals against 39

    Performance quality..
    upload_2020-7-17_23-58-59.jpeg

    Appeal to their pride as footballers to show some spunk ...
    It’s our only hope.

    I'm going to put £20 on each of 4-0, 5-0 and 6-0. Should be printing money.

    Is it even worth watching this? Have I ever dreaded a fixture as much as I'm dreading this?

    Genuinely concerned we could go over double figures if City can be arsed.
