    I couldn't care less what a Blackburn player thinks about us. Or anything for that matter. Apologies if that sounds harsh, I'm sure other people are interested in your information.

    Apparently one of them said “all Watford fans are ****s”.

    They all think we are big and physical but we never are.

    Usually quite weak and often end up with someone injured needing treatment.

    Thanks for letting me know. Opening a nice bottle of Chablis on the strength of it.

    Cheers.

    Hope you enjoy your Panda Pop. To be honest I couldn't give a fook if you do, but I'm sure there are people who would.

    Thanks for the info, it was interesting to read. And interesting to read the above too. Apologies that others have decided to attack as the info doesn't perfectly align with their view.

    If someone had come on and said "can't give a name but heard Bayat was in the dressing room at half time" I wonder if the same comments would have appeared...

    Interesting read. Thanks. Hard to see why it’s upset some people, but I guess we all have our demons.

    It seems to me that the people that live the life of a Watford supporter on the internet, instead of in a ground seem to be that way inclined, always want to argue the toss. And it seems strange to them that anyone might actually know people in the professional game. Some that I know are solely contacts from the game, no contact outside of it and meeting them through the game. Some like someone in our dressing room are, Personal Friends, but as Mr.Pedantic put it. "Are they personal friends?". I dont know if there is a fit and proper test for a personal friend but I'll put my case forward. Know him enough that our kids stayed at each others houses's, used to go out NewYears Eve with them, we used to do the family Sunday Dinner Out thing, men one end, wives middle, kids down the end of the table. Played Golf together. So yep knew him fairly well. Do we speak these days? Not much. Why? Footballers/Coaches life forever moving around, him splitting with his Mrs, kids grown up. Life moves on.
    If he told me anything to do with football from the past and to be fair there's a fair bit, I'd tell anyone some of the anecdodes some are brilliant. If he told me something about Watford today, I would never say a word on somewhere like this, tell my kids, yes. That's how it goes and if a couple of clowns think otherwise, couldnt give a toot. Move on and block my messages.

    Very much a low budget fizzy which didn’t taste that great but you’d find at a school disco, local youth club or a corner shop.

    I didn't care for it, but I liked the 'boo hoo' post.

    I'm sure they spend hours on the training ground doing finishing drills but ultimately either you
    are a goalscorer or you are not . We seem to be a team rammed full of no.10s

    My 2 Bob on the "Blackburn mole" . I cannot believe that they thought we were a route 1 knock it up to the big man type of team . Teams know that we are in the "they look pretty but no end product" category.

    Bradley Dack played . So did Ben Chile-Wossisname. The rest are "who he? " . I don't see how this team info insight could have helped Bilic .

    Imagine how it will feel in 15 months if we somehow managed to get promoted this season.

    If I've learnt anything from being on here for some months, it's that there are all sorts of supporters here, with all sorts of opinions (usually strongly held opinions) and that some of them are more vocal than others. As my grandmother used to say... "it takes all sorts..." and, as someone on here said, this gives "colour" to the forum. If we all agreed all the time it would be very dull... though occasionally I would love a bit of that... you know... for contrast.

    .

    I read both of those post as referring to “fishing” until
    I got down to the word ”goalscorer”.

    The key point being, I thought nothing strange of it before the truth smacked me on the gob.

    I thought we did pretty well yesterday until it came to kicking the ball in the net. I did wonder if we'd ever score for most of the game.

    Some decent periods of play. I liked the look of Kone, can actually receive the ball, turn and pass forwards. Revolutionary.

    Was convinced our subs would cost us the game at the end, structure fell apart in midfield without Kone and Choudhury.

    No doubt we should have won, Blackburn very ordinary, but quite relieved to get a point too.

    The ten minutes or so after the equaliser were good. I thought we’d go on to win. But the five minutes of injury time were poor - way too frantic and no focused attacks were forthcoming.

    It was mainly around in the early to mid 1990's. Others are totally correct, it was aimed at kids and loaded with teeth rotting sugar and other crap they used to put in soft drinks. They did other flavours like blueberry, cherry and coca-cola. A lot of youth clubs had it either for free or less then 10 pence. Today's version would be anything not a brand name (so the sort bought in saver versions), although they do seem to be dying out nowadays due to Sunny Delight's demise.
