Watford FC 2-0 West Ham United - 19/11/2017

Hi Ho Silva away

 

Flippin' equus! This song appears to be a little hippo-critical.

 

Several posters on this thread have mentioned the period of play yesterday in the minutes leading up to the second goal. I'm not ashamed to say that, up in the Rookery, I was a little overcome in realising that I was really and truly watching my little team play that amazing football.

 

Carroll can't be a horse, because they shoot, horses, don't they ?

 

But that's what happens when you are run by Ascot.
Sorry, A Scot!

 

He looks more like a "My Little Pony" with that coloured pony tail

 

As we were coming out of the ground, I told the kids that Andy Carroll's wife had had a baby this week and named him "Wolf Nine" and they laughed all the way back to the car park.

I spent the whole 10 minute period thinking "we're gonna **** this up in a minute and they'll breakaway and score".

 

Yep I very definatley have a man crush on Gomes, love the man , if Everton tried to sign him he wouldn’t be fannying around would be a very clear sod off i am Watford

 

Just wanted to say a quick thanks for all the messages from some of you good people. Means a lot.

 

Sometimes moments in matches seem to unfold in slow motion, like Deeney against Leicester or Cleveverly against Arsenal. Gomes’s triple save was like that. The first save was stunning but looked futile as it fell to a West Ham player. Then there was that moment of realisation that he’d actually done it again but that another West Ham player was collecting the ball to deliver the fatal blow. Then the ball went straight into his gloves and it seemed like he was some kind of superhero with extraordinary powers. A truly memorable moment.

 

The first two saves sort of reminddd me of that Leicester game when everything went in slow motion

 

Always thought the great B.Endean had something of the Marty Feldman about him.

 

Gomes just gets better and better. Most natural keeper we have ever had. Tony Coton maybe a better technician but Gomes pulls off the extraordinary like saving two penalties in the same match. Still gets mocked unfairly by some of the media but loved by all in WD18.

 

Coton was absolute class and had a quite simply awesome tache. For that reason he will always be my top Watford all time keeper. Gomes is without question the most passionate and emotive Watford player I've ever seen. He celebrates every goal. Holds his hands up if he makes a mistake. Is great with the fans and is a real role model and all round nice guy. We are lucky to have got him in his prime.

 

Thanks, shame I missed that. Donkey may have been more appropriate but good work all the same. Thanks Kelso too.

 

Exactly that! As we were watching it unfold, the stadium suddenly went silent and everyone around me had their eyes wide open as we watched the ball trickle past the post in what seemed to feel like slow motion (this was the first save Gomes made when 1 on 1 with Kouyate)

 

Mr Gomes, if you're reading this then you know what to do...

 

Loved Coton. Love Gomes. The two incredible keepers of my time.

 

We just don't want you to go to Everton

 

Who does?!

 

Nor you. I'd miss your classical references, which would be wasted on the Merseyside lotus eaters

 

Surely they don't eat cars up there, do they? I thought they just stole the wheels.

 

Let's build them a blooming big wooden Silva and take it up to Stanley Park or Stanley Unwin or Stanley, the little lad in my group tomorrow!

 

Dammit Moog, I’m going to have this as an ear worm all week now:

West Ham fans urged to stop ringing 999 to complain about their defeat. Dear oh dear oh dear.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/nov/20/west-ham-fans-stop-calling-999

 

I can't help thinking that Andy Carroll would no longer be a problem to anyone if he had tried to put an elbow in Holebas's face.

 

I’ve somehow ended up with the image of James Alexander-Gordon reading out the classified footballers’ kids’ names:
Harper 7 - Wolf 9!

 

Britos was doing his best to be sent off on Sunday. The way he held their guy when running into the box could easily have prompted a penalty and a 2nd yellow, especially with a ref seemingly so keen on a Hammers victory.

 

I was convinced him and Carrol were going to butt heads and both get sent off in that match.

Luckily once Carroll got wound up and tripped Richarlison up he became pretty anonymous and our backline were didn't let him bully them and got to him early.

 

Britos was having his shirt pulled as well but both players let go as they entered the box.

 

First of all, everyone thought Arnautovich had been snapped clean in half, judging by his face down on the pitch, three minute long, horizontal disco dance of screaming agony.

Then they said he'd probably broken his arm.

Then they backtracked and said they thought it was only his thumb that was broken.

Now it turns out it was nothing. Nothing broken at all. Just a big fuss about nothing.

Even if his arm or thumb had been broken, how exactly does that mean he needs a stretcher to get off the pitch? It's hardly going to affect your bloody legs is it?

What a big steaming girl's blouse it appears he is. Should have got big Seb Prodl over to ask him whether it hurt much in German whilst he was being carried off,

 

Martin Samuel's concern for a Watford player is deeply touching.
