    Allegedly. Be careful stating the above as ‘fact’.

    To save costs, they'll be printing that on the back of the Gino flag. So, if we take the lead tonight, they can turn it around. Smart thinking.

    I hate Hodgson. But fair play to him calling out those who missed out tonight…

    But he does kind of drop himself into the debate of - why the f*ck did you keep playing these players you’re slagging off and not play the ones you’re praising far sooner?

    The guy just clearly hates managing us.

    I don't know if it is more weird to sign up to another team's forum to defend a manager, or then to refuse to accept people don't like them based on what they've seen and insist to assess them on their performance at another team instead?

    I said all the way back in 2018/19 after the cup final the squad doesn't have the mentality to succeed at the top level and the mental fragility is systemic within the club. And here it is confirmed from the horses mouth.

    Last night Hodgson's comments on MOTD when he said with surprise that he didn't expect our line up to play so well.

    Inspirational stuff.

    As many others have posted there were two poor teams I saw last night-we had no shots on target but then with RH74 in charge that was expected but there was commitment and some form of team spirit so lacking since Xmas and more so under this bloke. That the crowd responded to that endeavour did make it actually bearable to watch as opposed to what I have witnessed since Chelsea last year.

    The comments of RH74 are getting more bizarre and I totally agree with you. I am really not sure what the point of keeping him on is-the side picks itself almost and with next to no tactical input I could see, apart from Ray getting up a few times, and no subs until what 88 minutes I cannot see what he brings.

    The likes of Sarr, Dennis, King etc. should be embarrassed by last night. They won't be but they should be.

    There was a lack of quality last night but there was a level of pride and determination that hasn't been seen all season from so many of the first 11. Blame Hodgson all you like, but a lot of these ****s haven't put in the hard yards under any of three head coaches. Last night the ressies got a run out and were prepared to graft.

    The difference in effort and commitment levels was huge.

    Yep, totally agree.

    Although devoid of any quality whatsoever, it was nice to see 11 players actually work hard and put a shift in. Our first point at home since November......

    Because if he'd persisted with a line-up consisting of Ngakia, Sema, Gosling and Masina (jury is out on Kayembe and Kalu we know virtually nothing about either way), we would've hardly got another point and Hodgson would've been crucified.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending him but it's been pretty much a lose-lose situation for whatever manager since Brentford away.

    More of a lose-lose-lose-lose-lose-lose situation until our heroic point last night

    I missed the match. I also missed Man Utd. I'm the same age as Roy, and think it likely that Sunday's extravaganza will be the last Prem match I'll ever see at The Vic. Villa on opening day could be my last Prem win. Hope I'm wrong on both counts.

    I’ve hated Hodgson as a manager…more than any other manager in Pozzos reign. I’ve not like previous managers styles, notably Mazzari, but I’ve never known a manager so obviously turn up for a paycheque and not give a damn about the outcome

    I wish the fans would give him a send off that showed our feelings, sort of how we did when the snake returned, but feel it will be far more of “we’ve got the ball” and all singing “all together now” instead

    It gives me great satisfaction knowing Hodgson’s last memory of his long career will be that of managing/coaching Masina and Sema

    Weird comment about not being able to recognise Edwards but does feel like it's been taken completely out of context by the BBC with their headline considering he then goes on to say that he knows who he is and what he's done

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61442613

    Not sure why any manager coming in would talk to the ex manager anyway, especially one that's been so awful

    I don't think it's out of context, I think he's just a ****.

    Sorry my mistake, he is of course a lovely guy and a fabulous football manager.

    I think he's a **** regardless but yeah what a weird dig to give towards Edwards for no reason.

    Roy is an international manager who's run top teams across Europe. Why should he bother about anyone at a minnow like Watford?
     
  27. Malteser2

    Well considering he also wouldn’t recognise a home win, an attacking substitution, sometimes even a substitution of any description, our fans at an away match, a young player to give a chance to now our season has nothing to play for, a media interview in which he neither needs to ramble on and on or be prickly and condescending to the interviewer, or the fact that we were relegated at Palace and not the week before etc etc, then I don’t think Edwards should feel bad not to be recognised. He’s in good company.

    Doesn’t know he is but wants to talk to Edwards?

    Probably end up talking to the wrong one !!?

    What has his previous employment got to do with it? He was asked a reasonable question about the guy taking over from him and gave a pathetic response.

    He's too important for that. He could probably recognise Pep, Klopp and Jose if the light was good enough.

    Yet another unnecessary swipe from a bitter old man. I cannot wait for this **** to be out of the club.

    The worst appointment we've made under the Pozzo's and it's not even close.
     
  32. wfc4ever

    wfc4ever Administrator Staff Member

    It’s not really a swipe - just a very aggressive tone/way of answering a question as if it’s a stupid one to ask.

    I can imagine he rolled his eyes or tutted whilst saying it !

    Remember, remember!
    This man doesn't remember someone he was at school with for six years and played in the football 1st XI ( unlike him).
    Nor does he remember the bleeding school song so not knowing an up and coming ( hopefully) coach is not a shock.
    He's just a bit of a **** really.
