Watford Observer

This week's is exactly the same as last week's - same injured players with no idea when they will be back, no news on work permit for Penaranda (sp). They may as well cut + paste it for every remaining issue of the season

 

I'm no fan of the WO but if the grinning idiot answers the same questions with the same answers every week, there isn't much they can do.

 

The whole newspaper is dreadful from front to back. I only flick through it when I visit my parents as they still buy it. The only bit worth reading is the court report.

 

Bring back Oliver Phillips.

 

Oh, and while whe're at it bring back the Evening Echo too. Evening Echo had a feature called " Fans Viewpoint" I gave my write up and had my picture in the paper after 2-0 away win at Rotherham. Would have been about 1968 or 9. Used to have a copy, but don't know what happened to it.

 

I agree, it’s always nice to see your name and old school friends mentioned in the local press!

 

A sad demise,utterly pointless now I fear.

 

Like pretty much all local papers these days.

 

True.
I find it disappointing that the WO cannot maintain standards though.
It is as, Fleetwood Mac would have it, 'Secondhand News'.

 

Yes. The paper used to be so exciting to receive and read 30 years ago, match reports, who we had signed etc. Now the website is just a poor catch-up for what has been broadcast already by others, written as though it's typed by backward 14 year olds. Club has no need to have any relationship with them so "they know nerrrthing".

 

Liked for reference of a great track

 

Pah - living in Liverpool & Newcastle I really miss the Saturday evening "Pinks"...now that was proper journalism.

 

Think it was a mid-week publication Tuesday I think.

 

The worst part is that a lot of what they report is just rumours. Tusk tusk, must do better

 

Now it is no more than an albatross.

 

Oh well.

 

Olly Phillips, now there was a man of the world

 

Bring back WD sport...

 

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

 

Dreams I'm afraid. Though I have heard rumours....

 

Gone the way of the half time gasper.

 

Reminds me of that great clip Danny Baker used to play about Stevie Nicks.
'her greatest hits such as 'merrrghhr','rhihhhernn' and 'hhhhrrrgh'. Digitally remumbled.
Very fine!
I hope this hasn't broken the chain?

 

Yes please, I enjoyed KA's little temper tantrums and being told that us fans just didn't have the footballing knowledge/know how to appreciate how good Jurado was!

 

Oli. You walley.

 

There aren’t even any Rumours of it improving!

These Mac references could get pretty cheesy

 

I prefer my spelling. You can go your own way.

 

I think the Watford Observer have excelled themselves today. Main headline is some woman coming back from holiday and Asda didn't deliver the groceries she ordered.

So her shoulder injury prevented the lazy fat sow to walk to the corner shop, but it was fine to travel all the way from venice to watford.

I see.

 

"it’s a good thing we are not disabled or vulnerable because we wouldn’t be able to eat and would have been left to starve."
a well balanced piece

 

I think Asda were trying to be kind. It looks as though she could do with skipping a couple of meals.

 

It was always clear after the Brexit vote that we were destined to become a 3rd world, sorry "developing" country. Here's the proof. Starvation on the streets of Watford. How are you supposed to make a bacon butty without bacon FFS ??

 

Better written and more informative than any of Ron Walker's ones on our transfer dealings to be fair.

 

The fattie unable to waddle down the road to a corner shop …… pathetic and the wobby has sunk to new lows even think it newsworthy

 

“It’s a good thing we are not disabled or vulnerable because we wouldn’t be able to eat and would have been left to starve.

She could skip every meal for two months and still not be in any danger of imminent starvation.

Furthermore, if she got a quarter of the items ordered then how on earth did they have nothing to eat until someone gallantly brought them food?

My prediction: she got everything except her bottle of Prosecco and jumbo sized box of Maltesers, and decided to engage in a bit of vigilante social justice by way of revenge.
