    Quote it.

    Why would someone frame a photo of a grey rectangle?

    Perhaps it's done by a fellow Watford fan, to always remind them of the void of nothing-ness our club has become in the pure sense of enjoyment?

    I'm not digging through nine months of posts but you definitely argued that our squad was too good for this division.

    He was a particularly smug billy bunter after the Burnley game if I recall. I’m also not going to hunt through a year of posts but along the lines of “I’ve tried again and again to explain to people how piddly this league is”.

    And that’s before we get to the “best team in championship history” fiasco! I’m going to fear for the poor chap when we spinelessly dribble into the bottom half.

    Gino,

    Would you like to buy this beautiful painting by legendary Watford Observer cartoonist Terry Challis?

    Again, if you could just point out where anyone said Cleverley, Kabasele and Cathcart were too good for the division, that would be great. Or was it just a little porkie :)

    When Wrexham have better owners than you, it’s time to sell up.

    Once you own what you said, we can discuss the technicalities and specifics around how it was represented.

    I like that, but I feel this might be more apt:

    We don’t want your January stuff after reality smashed you onto the rocks. We want the full barmpot stuff from August. Release the classics!

    You can try and deflect all you want mate. You made up a silly lie, and got called out. If you want me to own my comments, maybe own yours!

    You jumped on a comment which didn't name you and now you're pretending you didn't say 'our squad is more than good enough to get promoted from this rubbish division' or words to that effect, several times. You are also pretending you haven't at times specifically defended the named players as "good enough for this level."

    You could just admit you were wrong. Would be easier than this pointless back and forth.

    And you jumped on a comment which didn't name you...

    I stand by that the squad was good enough to get promoted. And that the standard of this league is poor. You don't have to agree with either of those viewpoints.

    I've praised Cathcart this season. I've criticised Kabasele frequently and said Cleverley's legs are gone. Not once did I, or anyone, say they're all too good for this division. But of course you know that, really.

    Surely " the lady doth protest too much methinks"?

    Or " so long and thanks for all the fish"?

    No need to twist WT's words, we had the best squad in the history of the division, but that was before Dennis signed for Nottingham Forest and Samir went to the Puerto Rican league or something

    We've done well to remain within touching distance of the playoffs without those 2

    Yes, I too am shocked that a team's fortunes were negatively impacted by losing their best defender/midfielder/two attackers permanently/for significant periods. It's a real head-scratcher, honestly.

    If you just acknowledged the nonsense you posted with a wry shrug it would just disappear. We all get carried away from time to time.

    It’s your attempts to rewrite history and justify absurd summer posts, combined with your charmless manner, that means we will constantly remind you of it.

    Accusing others of rewriting history is very funny tbf. Found those Cleverley/Cathcart/Kabasele posts yet?

    I’m not digging through your endless volumes of posts from the summer. You know what your sentiment was. You continually reposting something you wrote in January by which point you were in full reverse is rather transparent.

    I know my view of your credibility. Others will have their own views.

    Samir was rubbish, amazing revisionism that he was the key to promotion, he certainly wasn’t anywhere near the key to survival was he. Another cracking example of players we don’t have or are out of action miraculously getting better.

    The other amazing thing is that Edwards was apparently out of his depth, but Samir’s cultured left foot was apparently vital because he could play in a 3, you couldn’t make that sort of nonsense up.

    So you're saying...you can't find all those posts about Cathcart/Cleverley/Kabasele being too good for the division? Do you think maybe...they never existed? You didn't try and rewrite history did you?

    Umm no. Try reading. That’s not what I’m saying. My last post on the matter. I‘ve made my thoughts on you pretty clear.

    Try being a big boy and argue the points yourself. You can make childish digs all you want, but it says a lot that you needed to make up a very strange lie to point-score.

    You know you didn’t, and know it takes 30 seconds to check. But you did say that between them should be top 6. You’re being remarkably smug about it, which probably says even more though.

    More accurately however was @NathWFC in response to you in a following post.

    I disagree. On paper to me that looks like a side that will struggle to get top 10 and is a couple of injuries away from potentially doing a lot, lot worse than that.

    Nath, the prophet.
