Football 20/21

I take it you don't like Palace MoB. I can understand that given our two recent games at Wembley. I don't care who wins, never have, but I do hope for a good game, well refereed, a good atmosphere and no VAR controversy. I've been disappointed to often just lately.

[Bensham33]

And Watford are winning 1-0 at Birmingham. Good old Feeney.

Ploy Beeney, what would we do without him I wonder.

No bad vibes about Palace, been there many times over the years but I am deffo anti diving ... on that note I see that one Anthony Knockart was sent off today for doing just that, he also has history at Watford of course.

[barney]

Bad one for us. I feel a tenner wasted.
No effort in the first half.
Better in the second but didn’t deserve anything.

[barney]

Where’s Towny ?

[towny44]

Drowning my sorrows in merlot, our manager obviously thought we were going to lose, so rested 6 of our players.
So his assumption proved 100% accurate.

[Manoverboard]

The Cherries are flying high at the moment of course but I hope you put out that same team to play us on Saturday cos we deffo we need more ' away ' points

BLOODY LIVERPOOL

BLOODY LIVERPOOL

Ouch!!!

[oldbluefox]

Bragging rights to towny tonight.

[towny44]

We owe it all to Watford, a bad error from Foster for the first, then a clever sliced own goal from Capoue, then our young goalkeeper played a blinder.

[barney]

I’m shocked.
No idea where our performance came from ???

[barney]

My prediction ref Watford manager has come true
#delusionsofgranduer

[Manoverboard]

He was out of his depth, we were way overdue for a mew manager anyhowz

Well done the Terriers, you played a blinder winning 2:0 without having a shot on target

ps ... it's only a game

I haven't watched the highlights yet but my youngest son said that Watford played some very good football, but we had all the luck.
I suspect the sacking has much more to do with him falling out with Deeney, rather than his coaching ability. Anyway that should sentence you to at least another season in the Championship.

I think it was about League position, a be in the top two by Christmas or else type contract.

He didn't know his best team due to umpteen injuries plus Covid etc, his training methods were Draconian and the players were playing without a smile. Other than that he was doing a grand job

[Bensham33]

Roy Hodgeson us not available. So hands off.

[barney]

My next prediction is that his successor will not see the season out.
They will probably announce yet another nobody from a nothing league.
Nigel Pearson is the obvious choice in my opinion but maybe he is too big a personality for the Hornets board.

You'll be expecting long odds on your prediction I take it

Nigel Pearson is as unlikely as Eddy Howe, Slaven Bilic or Shawn the Sheep and deffo not good old Woy

Cant believe no-one has posted about the Shots 5 - 1 away win yesterday - at Welwyn Garden City in the FA Trophy - Wembley here we come!!
No live streaming so had to make do with radio commentary.

Living 200 yards into Surrey we're now in Tier 4 whereas the football club 1 mile away is Tier 2 Hampshire! Up to March 2020 I went to all games home and away - cruises permitting. The farthest journey was Carlisle on a Thursday night. We lost a playoff semi final after penalties and our coach broke down on the way home. We saw the dawn whilst waiting at the services - happy days!!

Wishing everyone a very happy Christmas, whatever the circumstances and hopefully there will be vaccines in sight early the new year.

[barney]

Great victory Jill

[oldbluefox]

Well done the Shots!! A good away win.
Dead chuffed with our result against the Spuds which has put us into 2nd place in the Prem. We were as good today as we were poor against Everton.

Do you know Foxy I was only saying to Pauline that Leicester continue to baffle me, one day they are world beaters and the next they look clueless. However Everton do seem to have hit top gear again in the last couple of weeks.

[barney]

Want inconsistency John, we’ve won 8 lost 8

It baffles us too. We never know which team will turn up. How do you fathom we knock five past Man City and then lose to Fulham? Keeps us on our toes and our feet on the ground.
