    Should win this one comfortably, even if we have an off day anything less than 2-0 or 3-1 victory would be disappointing.

    Hope Stoke enjoy their big day out.

    You have to remember the little clubs will give it "110%" when coming to one of the big 6 like us.

    Hopefully we can put these cloggers away without them hacking our superior skilled players into the treatment room.

    The only thing I know about Stoke is that Nick Hancock supports them. I wonder what happened to him.

    Michael Oliver will be officiating and we all know he loves to give a penalty!
    Lets hope the Stoke will happily oblige, I'm sure Shawcross can't wait to face Richie and Co!

    I actually thought he was quite droll. Compared with some of them anyway. Plus as well, he had an amusing regional accent.

    He appeared on one or two comedy panel shows for a while, but even those seem to have dropped him now.

    We’re little old Watford the family club living in the shadows of the big boys.
    We have quietly, slowly, mainly under the radar sneaked up into a lofty position after a few early season games.

    The day we start giving it large over other clubs like Stoke with a sense of superiority and entitlement is the day the press, media, pundits, referees, other fans of ‘neutral’ clubs, in fact just about everyone, turns on us and we crash to earth or worse and all we’ll get is ‘serves the f@ckers right, let them burn in hell.’

    So we at Watford need to remain very very ‘umble like Uriah Heep so we can still figuratively ‘doff our little Watford cap’ and fawn over the real stars and pundits and act like nearly all the other obsequious sycophants making their living in the football world up the the @rses of the rich and powerful and influential in the Premier League.
    We need to remain in our place and not think we are what we are not.
    Little Watford we are.
    Little Watford we will remain.



    ..... is the view of a plastic Man U supporting mate.


    But who gives a $hyte wot others think it’s our day in the sun, f&ck em all we can upset the f@cking elite and really do something this season.
    We should be squashing long ball nihilistic football teams like Stoke.

    4 - 1

    .. demolition display of pure football (with the usual set piece howler) and another fine manager Mr Hughes bites the dust cuz they shouldn’t be losing to teams like Watford. I mean Watford, ffs, Whot_ford ....

    F@ck em all.

    We’re Watford, Come on you ‘Orrrns ,
    Since I was young ....



    Nurse, I think it’s time for my medication .. :(
    2 happy pills today please :)

    I preferred his sports panel show to League Of Their Own.

    Who on earth thought that Corden, Whitehall and Redknapp were a good idea for an entertainment show.

    Hate them all.

    Indeed. Lee Hurst and that hairy fellow were actual comedians. Unlike Jack Whitehall and Corden, who are an embarrassment to the human race.

    Indeed. I know for a fact I'm not the only one who finds Corden especially, desperately, desperately unfunny.

    The fact he has somehow made it big, despite not having the slightest iota of talent, despite not being able to sing, dance, act or tell jokes, makes him living proof of the unfairness of celebrity status.

    How many more talented people than Fatty Corden must there be who can't even get to be an extra on Casualty?

    With no pubs apart from some sh1tty Beefeater-type joint within miles of the stadium, Stoke is one of the worst away days in the EPL so let's hope we can help send them down to Division 2 and get the Chelsea frustration out of our system by handing out a good drubbing on Saturday . 0-1 (Crouch)

    I couldnt name a single one of these no-marks players (unless that freeeaaaaaak (remember that from QPR away?) crouch still plays for them).

    Utter ***** and we will absolutely snot them.

    And as for that nan-haired ailsa stewart lookalike **** of a manager, I have a sneaking feeling that defeat to us will see him sacked - and I've got 2 ******* pounds riding on him being next to go.

    I will be delighted at any win! last season home to them was if I remember correctly an awful match which they boringly won 1-0, it was a damp squid, therefore we owe them one this Saturday COYH!

    Courtesy of wikipedia:

    A squib is a miniature explosive device used in a wide range of industries, from special effects to military applications.

    Origin of the phrase "damp squib"

    While most modern squibs used by professionals are insulated from moisture, older uninsulated squibs needed to be kept dry in order to ignite, thus a "damp squib" was literally one that failed to perform because it got wet. Often misheard as "damp squid",[9] the phrase "damp squib" has since come into general use to mean anything that fails to meet expectations.[10] The word "squib" has come to take on a similar meaning even when used alone, as a diminutive comparison to a full explosive.[11]

    Yes! Shawcross has been practising his Richarlison-tackles on a flume.

    No, they got rid of him - too skillful.

    Peter Crouch has spent his career being one of the most under-rated players around. Just my opinion.

    The last two seasons we have been pretty woeful against Stoke. I'm not expecting us to do the same again with Silva in charge, but I'm approaching it with more anxiety than the Arsenal and Chelsea games ...

    I'm not adverse to playing these minnows, but I hope that all that glitters is gold. With regards the stoke goal threat I hope we nip it in the butt early and I suspect our defence will be champing at the bit to get back at it.

    Anyway its a mute point because for all stokes intensive purposes I'm sure our attack will batting down the hatches and have a good game.

    Just hope it isn't a dry squid.
