One of those Watford-identity chumps Twitter insists on showing me in my feed even though I don't follow them, or the people they follow, and keep clicking 'don't show these anymore' on.
That was only because the idea of captaining Watford in a relegation battle against Norwich was beyond his wildest imaginings.
Sure, here you go: A MESSAGE FROM THE CAPTAIN Hello to all of you, our supporters, For all of the players, I am going to ask you to take a decision to be here tomorrow night to support us against Norwich. I know this message is going to everyone who has a ticket for tomorrow, so please make a big decision and come to Vicarage Road rather than watch the game on TV. I have not been here a long time, but I can tell from the Manchester United game that it doesn't matter what the size of the stadium is when the sound is big and the feelings are strong. This was some amazing atmosphere with all the colours in the stadium as well. We appreciate that it has been difficult to come along to games for many reasons, and if Covid or something else has stopped you coming then we are sorry to hear this. So if you can be here for us then we would be very grateful; for all the players who love extra support and the great atmosphere here. I know the club has plans for a special evening, to remember Graham Taylor. I did not know him, but it is obvious why there would be celebrations for everything he has done for Watford. So please bring along your scarf, bring your loud voices and make sure they can hear you on the TV. Like I said, I know what a full stadium sounds like here and it makes a massive difference. Thank you very much to you all,
Sounds like the club are desperate for an atmosphere tomorrow - it’s been very flat for most of the season, so wouldn’t get their hopes up too much…
Well we'll certainly need a scarf tonight! Hopefully the Sky camera catch the tribute or will they be on an ad break?
It is a huge game so understandable. A win is pretty much essential if we are going to avoid slipping into the bottom 3.
It's good that you've listened to Moussa's uplifting message about supporting the team and decided to hold back your abuse during the warm up and the bit before ko. They'll appreciate it.
Hi Moussa, the media guys want to put out a generic message to try and rally the fans, can we stick your name at the bottom of it? Sure go for it
It's going to be cold tonight, I may need chiselling out of my seat by the end if the boys don't do it for me!
Me too! I’m sure Moog will be there for 20 minutes as it’s a bit cold for gardening at the moment. Funny how the BWO makes it to more games than the COG Heavies do. Guess we really are the better supporters.
And as easy as that, the entire Watford Twitter Fanbase has bent over backwards and forgotten about the shambles we’ve witnessed over the course of the season.
In truth though, I adore Moussa Sissoko. A midfield 3 of Sissoko, Capoue and Doucoure would have been phenomenal.
To derive maximum benefit from our captain's eve of battle speech, it is best read aloud with Elgar's Nimrod (from Enigma Variations) playing quietly in the background
If we cannot keep a clean sheet tonight, we may as well devolve into wearing nappies all season. Only chance of the sheets staying fresh. We ended our losing streak last time out, so maybe tonight we can put this hoodoo to the sword also.
