Dunno. I am just trying to adjust from the routine of seeing us play great teams like Liverpool and Man Utd, to being told we are playing Pan Am baggage handlers FC. It's a real culture shock. Next time we go up we need to vote to end relegation because I watched the game against Shedfield on Monday and I have to say, I've never heard of their players. Let's get back to seeing Rolando and Sahal at the Vic, please, because I am confused by all these overweight amateurs we are playing now.
Think you've lost sight of the magic of the cup mate. Sheepskins for goalposts and all that stuff. Imagine the joy amongst the youth of Rother Ham United when our superstars like King Ken Sema turn up.
Yeah but they will be overwhelmed when our former Man City and Man Utd stars, Tom DB and Ashley Fletcher would be the highlight of their lives. Bear in mind most of their players will be labourers and factory workers, not world class athletes like former Barcelona legend Manaj. I see what you're saying though. It's like an Eagle Comics special for these flat cap wearing simpletons.
I wonder how WBA will play the match. Will they come at us which would benefit us greatly or will they be cautious and sit back expecting us to do the attacking ? If we snatch a win here then it's an extremely good sign of things to come. Bruce is under pressure to get them promoted. They have a squad full of what should be very decent performers at this level including two of our former targets in Bryan and Yokuslu. But no one upfront on the level of Dennis, Pedro or Sarr. The midfield battle is what concerns me. That they signed Swift while we make do and mend may prove crucial.
Looks like one of those fancy new combi boilers to me, that's the beauty of them no need for a seperate head, everything you need is in the case. Even better they can just programme him to come on an hour before kick off on match days and turn off at full time.
Combi boilers are headless and hopeless. We could have a heated discussion about this but I think I'll just pipe down for now.
I would love a win here. However it's only a matter of time before a team works out our weaknesses and takes advantage. As you point out central midfield is a crucial one. So far our transfer window has done nothing to address our weak spots.
I heard a theory about how A-roads are named the other day: with the A1 going north from London, A2 south-east, A3 south west, A4 west and A5 north west used as starting points. So anything between the A1 and A2 starts with A1 (A1xx etc), and so on. Unfortunately don't have the time to test with every single road out there, but sort of works for the roads round here.
I remember last time they made us play in this league we played one of those northern teams who’s name you only remember for that one season, Northampton Forest I think they were called. Anyway the locals were so honoured that the big boys from Watford would grace their town they erected a huge bronze statue of Craig Cathcart. We are inspirations for these poor people and should never lose sight of this fact.
Yes, but it only goes to Leicester. (sorry @Filbert ) Edit - it gets a bit lost in Leicester, then continues to Carlisle. The A6 did use to start in London in Barnet by the A1, but the stretch to Luton is now the A1081. Fascinating.
Originally the A6 started near Barnet and ran through London Colney, St. Albans and Harpenden to Luton and beyond. In attempt to keep traffic on the M1 this section was downgraded and renumbered to the A1081 (in the '90s?) The A5 (Watling Street) has also been downgraded around St. Albans to become the A5183 Before the M1 was constructed, the Peahen traffic lights at the top of Holywell Hill is St Albans was for decades one of the most important junctions in the countries trunk roads. Here the A5 and the A6 touched, but did not cross.
I've got a terrible feeling Edwards is going to be the village idiot and continue with Sema at LWB and Kamara shunted over at RWB. Get Gaspar straight in the side. Sema can **** off.
What a fascinating chat, thanks for the @ otherwise I’d have missed it. I smoked my first fag under the A6 by the River Soar between Sileby and Mountsorrel. Also the preferred way to get to the City to watch the Foxes.
It’s posts like these on our Watford Football forum that convince oppo fans into thinking we are not normal but a real spaced out weird bunch. It really bugs me makes me proud. And yes, it is a hot sunny Sunday and yes I’ve had a couple (see Teide1’s score Prediction competition for further details).
I know the weirdos will say I'm mad, but this is a Must Win game for me. Lose this and I think the Edwards bubble will burst. Players will lose confidence, Dennis and Sarr will jump ship and we will head into a forgettable season of mediocrity. Anything less than 3 points is a disaster.
I assume you've factored in the 'importance of momentum' in your calculations here, which can double or even treble the value of points earned
It's beyond mortal understanding just what's at stake tomorrow. Weirdos will have it down as 'just one game' but the future of human history hinges on us getting three points from these baggers.
Could be 5 points clear of third place and top by Friday night. Must win game. also, I recall a road sign near the Peahen junction in St Albans with Shrewsbury A5, I always thought it was a bit random, something to do with the Romans I guess. I remember because I drove it back in the 70s. A5 also passes the other Watford Just saying.
From the oppo forum: 'Sarr is going to love running against our full backs' Clearly never seen him play then.
