    Troost about to get a clean sheet.
     
  2. WTE doing okay

    Maybe what we really needed all along was a Nigerian coach?

    People are going to start saying WTE is good enough now aren't they.

    Condolences to the wife.
     
  5. The problem in the PL is his, and the entire defence, confidence is shot

    Also they have to play against teams that are far, far better and more organised/dangerous than those in this cobbled together AFCON.

    Must just be at International levels our defenders prove themselves..

    Cathcart kept one v Italy too.
     
  8. Our new keep is absolutely mahussive

    Like a BFG

    Will he fit in the team bus?

    'With William Troost-Ekong set to return triumphant from AFCON later in the month to marshal the Watford defence, there is thought to be no need for any further defensive recruitment.'

  15. Perhaps but not always

    Compare the same squad with the same players 2018 to 2019

    2019 'just crap at PL level'... except that doesn't then explain much of 2018

    Football is complex, and success or failure is a fine line depending on a complex combination of variables - talent, luck, form, health, coaching, confidence etc etc

    I don't see it as binary... you will of course disagree and think most of the squad are sh1t full stop

    The round of 16 - absolutely fuccking deluded - if the timescale was anywhere near that close, they wouldn't have been forced to accept that he wasn't available right now and send him back:

    They're just trying to save face now after embarrassing themselves by going mental at the start of the whole saga.

    Not really much need for the last sentence is there?

    I don’t think most of the squad are sh1t actually so you’re wrong (again). I think the majority are average with a handful of real quality players. Sadly there’s is a percentage of the squad that are really not cut out for this level of football because they are either not ready yet - or they are crap at PL level. And sadly the vast majority of those that are crap are defenders.

    It is binary in regards to what we have seen from our defenders this season. The number of goals conceded and unforced errors made tell the story. Saying it’s down to ‘confidence’ is ridiculous. They haven’t been good enough because they simply aren’t good enough.

    But then again, I vividly remember you throwing insults around at the start of the season at anyone who dared to point out that the defence was short on numbers and quality so I am not surprised you can’t see it now because you would be admitting you were wrong.

    It really isn’t. Sadly you restrict your profile else I’d happily spend 5 mins finding the exact posts where you did it! @Jumbolina remembers it too!

    You said something along the lines of you wouldn’t waste your time discussing with anyone who had seen our defence last season and believed they wouldn’t be good enough because they were clueless (or something along those lines).

    It was mentioned on the shoutbox once recently and you lost your mind.

    Unrestrict your profile and I’ll find it word for word, insults included…

    Our defenders are crap, simple as that.

    I think most of the squad are sh!t. Only Sissoko, JP, King, Dennis and Sarr get into other teams in this league. Ngakia, Cucho and Louza at a push.

    Hard to disagree. Just shows what a pile of crap we have accumulated and continue to accumulate.

    Even if he was “fit” surely wouldn’t be right to play a big knockout game with no marches under his belt.

    They just don’t believe us as we have a reputation generally for being a bit devious and underhand .
     
  24. Burnsy

    I think they believe us now.

    They just don't want to backdown on their OTT rhetoric and admit they were wrong.

  25. Every time I post on here you jump in looking for a fight

    Please, just ignore me

    I don't want to engage with you, I wish you would stop engaging with me

    Just be thankful you do this on a forum, because in real life I'm 6 foot 4, 18 stone, I work out a lot, I'm pretty sure you would leave me be

    As much as Watford twitter is heavily sanitised ******** most the time, the winding up of Nigerian fans is absolutely superb

    Why don't you put him on your ignore list?
    Then you won't see his arguments with you.

    Are you Danny Rose on stilts? Or Kelso?

    It’s a forum. If you don’t want pulling up on your nonsense, don’t post nonsense.

    The ‘hardman in real life’ schtick is just laughable. I couldn’t care one jot.

    I’m basically complete nails and just like Jean Claude Van-Damme so that will be a big mistake for him if he ever met me in real life. Or something along those lines.

    Ref blows for full time on 85 minutes, then again on 89 minutes - no injury time for a drinks break, two penalties and a red card.

    Seems as legit as African football normally is.
