    Started playing Nath off before he even started like he was giving an Oscar acceptance speech. All because the laughing simpleton of a presenter was too busy creaming himself over Brentford.

    They gave him 30 seconds and even tried to drown him out with the news jingle.

    5-Live is the BBC and they’ve always hated Watford, so par for the course.

    It should have been called the 'TOTTeNhAm and BwEntForD SHOW!11!'

    Worst time to get me on, after a win, especially when the sh*t bags only give me 8 seconds before they try to cut me off.

    If I'd shut up when that started I'd have barely had a chance to finish a sentence.

    Henceforth Nath shall be known as "30 seconds Nath".
    Presenter clearly missed the time management clinic!
    Buck up 5L.
    Saps.
    In future Nath you will need to speed talk!

    Nath, you sounded relatively normal for someone that frequents this forum.

    Well done.

    Can someone summarise the 30 seconds, or event better a transcript - won't take long.

    I'm sick of hearing about Brentford already. Whilst Bournemouth were "plucky", Brentford's tags are "exciting" and "well run".

    I said it was good to be back, great atmosphere, played well on the counter attack, manager got it right despite concerns about the team selection initially, then they cut me off and I presume went back to bantz with the Brentford fan for another half hour.

    I thought it was 45mins Brentford, 30secs you, news program.

    Don't forget 0secs Norwich.

    And most of the time they were talking to the 'Brentford Fan' they were talking about Tottenham.

    ...and you couldn't even squeeze in the words "...on WFCForums...." between the words "we **INSERT HERE** had concerns about the team selection" ??:)
    The owner would have paid you handsomely I'm sure for a namecheck, more effective that all these piddly little irritating adverts.

    You'll be replacing Troy on Talksport next. Though no-one ever replaces Troy of course.

    I am not sure they know we are in the Premier league .

    The other day they talked about who might get relegated and we weren’t mentioned !

    Bbc are ok to be fair. Always very respectful of GT. Talksport however....

    Great call this afternoon from a Watford fan who talked about the GT day, Villa fans respecting the GT family and the nurses at half time plus the club being mindful of fans that passed away with the big screen tribute.

    Andy Townsends reply:

    "well it must be tough being a Watford fan seeing as you sack all your managers all the time"

    Feck me sideways with a rusty trombone that guy is a prickly pricked pr1ck. What a clown

    Obviously feeling a bit bitter being a Villa man and didn’t GT’s England knock Ireland out of European qualifying in the day.

    Townsend shouldn’t be upset about that. He’s English after all.

    Yes its been tough having a Premier league club for pretty much 6 out of the last 7 years and a few trips to Wembley (with mixed results admittedly) plus 2 promotions albeit wasn't quite the same last season.

    Despite all that goes on and there is a lot of strange goings on at times it has been our 2nd most successful period in our history!

    :D

    I can think of a few clubs who would swap with us....and wish they'd probably got rid of a manager or two earlier (yes we probably do look a bit daft but many clubs keep some on for too long)


    Goodness knows what might have happened had we been having stability in the hot seat - probably in the same situation.

    Well Done Nath. That was good to you to volunteer, and speaking as an ex BBC presenter myself, I thought you came across well in the very limited time they gave you. Top effort!

    When we were in the Championship, I used to feel TalkSport and 5 Live were very Premier League biased, but since we got promoted I feel it’s even narrower than that, especially TalkSport. Their remit seems to be mostly the big six. Everything is United this, Liverpool that, and any clubs in the bottom half of the table are an inconsequence. How they’d have loved the European Super League.

    Let’s hope that this season we can be a successful inconvenience to them.

    Oh gosh, nothing impressive. Just local radio. I wasn’t very good lol. Hope my comment didn’t come across as name-dropping. I only mentioned it in the context of praising somebody else for their contribution to a radio programme, as I know a little bit about what’s involved.

    I genuinely don't know everyone who's in the premiership and have had to check a few times this week, because the Southampton's and Brighton's get no media coverage at all

    Go to 01:59:00 here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000yt3l. Basically there's about one minute of Norwich, three minutes of Brentford/Spurs and as others and the presenter have said 30 seconds of us.

    It’s because they know we’ll still be here next season.
