Literally couldn't give a sh*t. Team: Bachmann Ngakia Sierralta Kabasele Masina Hughes Chalobah Clevs Zinc Gray Hungbo Good opportunity to rest some players and try different partnerships etc.
She worries me,her eyes look like they belong in the Tomorrow People or something similar. I'll be watching,"call me a sentimental old booby,baaah!"
I don't know if it's just me, but her eyes have got closer together as the season progressed. She'll be like this next season
You may be onto something there Otter! They are certainly more noticeable now than before. Tension? Too much 'composure exposure' from Tommy M?
Probably won't bother watching this, which will be the first game I've missed all season. Just feels like a pre-season friendly. What I will miss is Jon Marks commentary when he says that one of the team has "tickled" the ball past an opposition player.
I’ve been imagining a parallel scenario where what the doom merchants feared comes true, just to make this game more meaningful and exciting (if only in the imagination). We fail to bounce back after our humbling at the Kennel, putting in a bit more effort without creating much before losing 2/3-0. Confidence looks shot and comparisons with last season now look justified. We struggle to break down Millwall and shortly before half time after WTE’s attempted pass to god knows who falls nicely to the feet of an advancing Millwall player, Chalobah rushes back deep into our half to get the ball off him, rashly giving away a free kick from which Millwall score to make it 0-1. We scrape a draw in the dying minutes from a scuffed shot from late sub Gray that bounces off Sarr’s little toe. Now Brentford fail to fully capitalize on all this, getting the same results as they have in reality, but they end up two points behind us ahead of this massive game with automatic promotion fully in their hands. Swansea are four points behind us, having held onto their lead at Reading. After a backs-to-the-wall performance, we get a 0-0 more through luck than judgement while Swansea easily beat a free-falling Derby to go two points behind us, meaning they can make it difficult for us knowing they have a good chance of auto promotion. As expected, Swansea keep it tight and frustrate us and we get a 0-0 or 1-1. All ears/eyes are turned anxiously towards the game at Bristol City, where Brentford are still drawing...
The worrying thing here is that our club seems to think it's job done and will take their foot off the gas. Brentford's win over Rotherham means they can still catch us. With this being a 6 pointer, they would move to 87 points with a win meaning a loss to Swanswa on the last day would allow them to leapfrog us. Worrying indeed.
On the flip side, if we win and Norwich lose, we go above them. Given our final game is also a six pointer and they have no 6 pointers left, we could still reach 100 points and finish 7 points clear at the top. We can do this.
Injury update: https://www.watfordfc.com/news/injury-update-femenia-out-for-the-season Some players are fit, some players aren't. No one really cares. Also adding to the fun on Saturday is that we're blessed to have Lee Mason popping down from on high to referee the match.
I’m not paying for hive for this, and spending 90 minutes on a stream, fending off the advances of all the Russian girls that apparently want to meet me doesn’t seem worth the effort.
The demoted Lee Mason is taking charge of this one. Thank god we've not got anything riding on this result (part from the league title of course)
The Brentford fans are angry! https://griffinpark.org/index.php?t...ms-fans-say-about-brentford-fc.126658/page-70 Their best response is they will finish above us next season, or relegate us. If they really wanted to outdo us, maybe they may get further than us in the EFL cup.
On a side note, having first started following Watford in 1983 when I was 7, I can honestly say I had never even heard of Brentford until I was 16.
Love how we’re the ones “rattled” haha. That has literally become the comeback of all comebacks when you’ve lost an argument, made yourself look stupid etc. like they have on their forum. All the gloating from their fans back in February was plastered all over social media, and their forum. Yet we’re the ones rattled? Hahaha. I fully expect some Brentford fan to now reply to this post saying, “clearly you are rattled,” just to prove my point. No, not you Moog.
It gets worse. Gavin Ward, the ******* of an official that reffed the scum game, no not the true scum, Bournemouth, the other scum, is the 4th official. Clearly they were trying all they could to stop us getting promoted. They were desperate for us to need something from this game. A clear set up.
Maybe it’s an extremely subtle exercise in irony. Fans who gloated in February how they were the best team in the division, which they were clearly odds on to win at a canter, accuse fans of the club that will finish above them of arrogance. They can’t actually mean it, can they?
Let's face it Watford is the best 'Ford'. There is no finer 'Ford' anywhere in football and probably in the entire universe. It must be sad being the fan of an inferior 'Ford' but that's for Brentford fans to deal with.
By met I did have an encounter with a Brentford fan in 1978. Griffin Park was well known for having a pub on each corner of the ground. I was walking past one corner of the ground with my Watford scarf on show. A Brentford fan came running out of the pub towards me and stood less than a comfortable distance in front of from me. He then shouted "I hate you Watford fans" and then made the sound of a raspberry in my face. I laughed and he went back into the pub. All very strange and I guess it was something in the local drink! I do also know some very decent Brentford fans and while they think there is some sort of rivalry it is all good natured.
You were probably being ironic so forgive me if I missed the joke. Squeeze all came from Deptford (a very much lesser ford) so are likely to be Millwall fans
Dont know why they are so upset. I think its nobal that a top flight club is willing to play a pre season behind closed doors friendly so early. Imagine how the Brentford players must feel welcoming a Premier League side to their stadium. I hope we dont hurt them too much and slow down after we score our third. No need to swat the plucky minnows. Give Sarr 10 minutes sub on 5 youth players and let the rest of the squad find a nearby pub. Also make sure the players take no fag breaks before HT.
As has been echoed above by others, after weeks of nervous build up to every fixture, it’s strange to give not one single solitary **** about his game ends up.
LRBR (I think) suggested we played everyone in the wrong position vs Brentford, like Squeeze on TOTP. My comment was just a silly riff on the juxtaposition of the team & the band. I knew they were really SE London lads.
How is that possible when they're playing in the championship and we are playing in the premier league with Norwich and Barnsley?
