    Motd without Lineker is so much more watchable. Even more so when we win

    Where was he ?

    I know he does some new quiz show on ITV which hasn’t gone down too well!

    Chappers is a United fan. You would not know the way he presented the show last night. He should have been handed the reins a long time ago. Personable, affable, with a wry humour and not projecting himself constantly into the thoughts of viewers.

    I'm sure his son plays or played for our academy. He's always been complimentary about us previously.

    His son certainly supports us - he’s mentioned it on the radio,

    Lady that did my winter flu jab yesterday told me her son was a Watford fan from seeing us on MOTD a few years ago when we beat United.

    Hope we pick up a few more from last night!

    Yeah, in fairness Chappers is the best professional sports host/presenter around.

    For real. Why Chapman doesn't have the gig full time is beyond me. He's by far the best presenter.

    Pretty poor from Frankensteins assistant last night. No credit to us that we made Chavsea play poorly. Had his tongue stuck firmly up Mount's bum as his man of the match as well.

    At least Ashley Williams gave us credit where it was due. Jug Ears on the other hand seems to have washed his hands of MOTD.

    Going to be a lot of dead air time to fill tonight with only one scheduled match going ahead!

    Think it was already cut to half an hour before Villa game was off .

    They might as well tag Leeds v Arsenal into MOTD 2 tomorrow..

    Give Gary a week off - who’s going to miss him ?

    Just turned over to watch the NFL Show and caught the end of motd. Danny Murphy reckons we'll stay up!

    :eek:

    I want what he's drinking.

    Looks like we were unlucky to not win tonight...

    Agreed, however, that it will take something calamitous from Leeds or Brentford for us to have a chance.

    We still have 2 games in hand over Brentford and if we manage to win those we would be 2 points behind them and we still have to play them at home, so perhaps they would not have to do something calamitous for us to catch them :) We also have a game in hand over Norwich and a vastly better goal difference, so maybe we would not even have to catch Brentford.

    Good mates with Roy and Ray tbf after the Fulham seasons they had together.

    Probably a bit biased but let's hope he is right.

    Least we didn't have some wise gag from Lineker this time as he wasn't on!

    Sky Bet are giving 15/8 for the treble on us, Burnley and Norwich to be relegated. Fill your boots.

    Commentator came across a bit clueless to me.

    Talking of clueless, Lineker said Dennis has been good all season. Haha shows how much the BBC pundits watch our games.
