  10. Just award the game to Manchester City by forfeit. Better a 3-0 than an actual match.

  1. After yesterday, can't be arsed with more than a perfunctory thread. Feel free to be more creative.
    Jesus and De Bruyne injured. Man C drew against Palace, only 1 goal better than us.

    And, uh, that's it.

    Is this even worth a match thread? The most pointless game we've played for quite some time I'd say.

    Isn't it fun though, guessing just how many they'll stick past us once we've totally given up after half an hour?

    Our gutless wonders will fold like a pack of cards.

    City scored 6 against us at home when we were playing well. They destroy crap sides, as Stoke found out by conceding 7.

    This could be seriously embarrassing. City having a host of injuries will make no difference to the score. I think our record heaviest defeat could well be challenged. Something like 8-0 is not only unthinkable, it's entirely possible or even probable.

    The undeniable truth First Team Captain

    Had enough of this life in the prem nonsense. We lose more than we win, are constantly looking over our shoulder, and can't even enjoy the big boys being beaten as it generally means one of our relegation rivals has picked up the points that could ultimately relegate us. Oh for the excitement of the championship. At least that is what I will be telling myself until we are safe.
    5-0 to City.

    We're gonna win. It's the Watford way. Lose at home to the bottom team, win away at the top.

    Citeh are struggling to score at the minute. Their flowing football is stuttering slightly. They have injuries to key players. They’ve played a day later than us. They have a long trip back up to Manc. They’ll still stuff us 7 - 0

    After Huddersfield I said we'd lose by ten. With Jesus and De Bruyne missing, and their own slump in form (4 points out of 6, one goal scored = poor run by City standards), we might escape by only losing six or seven nil. The absolute minimum they'll get is four.

    Christ, Watford have really sucked all enthusiasm, hope and interest out of me this time:(.

    If we turn up with no attitude and play like Huddersfield then 8-0. Record loss matched but not beaten.

    Or....

    If we play to the standard we are capable of and try to give them a game then

    2-0 which would be respectable.

    City 10 Watford 0.

    Gomes man of the match. Silva to go into hiding in fear for his life at about the sixtieth minute, after catching Gino's cold deadly stare from the posh seats.

    Was going to bet on Man City to make the Premier League highest scoreline record but with De Bruyne's injury and David Silva's continued absence, this might just be the best possible time to play them. So just the 4-0 loss then!

    No point in this match really, sack the game off and put out the kids, reimburse everyone who has purchased tickets and travel and pretend the game never happened. A good result would be a loss of 3 or 4.

    It’s the end of a congested period of fixtures. Slowly over the Christmas period the goals are drying up nearly everywhere. The last match of yesterday finished 0-0 as did the first one of today, and as I write it’s 0-0 half time in the late kick off. Our last few visits to the Etihad in both league and cup have seen us make City work hard to beat us and I believe this will be the case again on Tuesday. A 0-2 looks a probable outcome.

    If we do get well and truly thrashed on Tuesday, then dumped out the FA cup by Brizzle, will it still be just a blip?

    Probably a good time to get this game out the way whilst we are in a bad spell, rather than disrupt a good period.

    I reckon 5-0 City, with Ag*ero getting a hatrick and Sterling getting the other 2.
     
  25. No.

    Losing against Bristols City will be an incredible boost, as we will be able to concentrate solely on the league.

    I can't wait...

    Like Arsenal and MC dropping points today. That should be enjoyable but instead it means 2 of our rivals have picked up morale boosting points. I hate this feeling. Will being in the prem always be this worrying and miserable ?

    De Bruyne on crutches to pass to Jesus, lying in an orthopaedic hospital bed, for the opening goal. Shaun Goater hattrick seals the deal. Silva to say we deserved to win despite no shots on target and 6% possession.

    Don't kid yourselves... We are literally going to get f*cked by City. It's not even up for debate.

    Not literally, no. But it's a decent metaphor in the very trying circumstances.
    You've spelt it correctly, but can somebody tell me, please, why do people keep writing it 'Citeh'?

    What is wrong with people?

    Watford fans have the eternal flame of optimism inbuilt in their DNA remember? - it’s how we operate.
    Why is everyone so faking negative?
    Is it really only Philippine and Stevo who have anything remotely positive to say ffs?

    Guardiola himself says they will lose sometime.
    Our team and Marco are hurting and will now have a competitive ‘can do’ attitude.
    Palarse had an an amazing 26% possession and almost won today.
    Someone has to beat them.

    We can win, we can win, for olde langsyne m’dear
    All the omens are good, there was even a sign, a meteor was seen breaking up over Mancunian skies.

    Be positive, support your team, sing your hearts out, visualise André as our hero and it WILL come to pass.

    Stop all this nonsense of record defeats already.

    Join me as I wish everyone a happy new year on this forum, even the negative £ackers, and BE POSITIVE.







    I’ve only been drinking since 11am.

    5-0 City
