    We've signed half a squad of players. They are a bit solid, plastic and a bit past it, but they'll all agreed five year deals. AF seal of approval.

    So some guy on Twitter said there was big news about the club, Deulofeu does an interview in Italy that has nothing to do with Watford and now he's passing that off as the news?

    Have people really not got anything better to do?

    Creators wanted to call it “Hobby” (a crap name btw) but were barred from doing so, so called it Subbuteo which is the Latin name for a Hobby, a type of falcon.

    Careful now, you seem to be using a metaphor here, he might not actually be a tosser which could lead to confusion and offence.

    I believe that's "Lad os lege" which is how "Lego" got its name.

    Pretty sure they had a no. 1 hit with 'Frankie' and also other hits with 'the Greatest Dancer' and 'We are Family.'

    They're hand painted aren't they. Never had the badge on irrc.
    They were Watford/Patrick Thistle in my days. With subbuteo doing a good job keeping costs down by doubling up which teams were what and able to use the same colours. Dundee Utd and Wolves etc. My Scottish team thus were formed as Partick Thistle from around age 7.
