    I would say they don't really belong to the same adjective. Luton going up would be annoying, Palace going down would be funny....

    I'm pretty sure Fat Sam was in charge when Harry did his infamous dive in front of Zaha. Woy was in charge of them when we next played them, and was asked about it in the pre-match press conferences (for lack of anything more interesting to talk about!).

    That is right and it was 1-1.

    Deeney got his 100th goal via a penalty.

    We also had to make 2 subs inside the first 20 minutes I think.

    I really want Luton to go up. For clubs of our size it always ends in tears in the end and I wish them untold misery, so the sooner they go up the sooner the countdown towards misery begins.

    Would they actually be allowed to play at the Kennel ?

    It was more the angle of one the worst, most hideous and disrespectful managers we’ve ever had failing, really. Luton are our rivals by default, but he actively hated us while drawing a salary from us at the same time.

    And I don't like Palace. So hope he takes them down before going into his retirement village.

    Yep, could be quite funny if the scum go up. Can you imagine a team like Man City turning up and finding what the thought was a public toilet is in fact the away changing room?

    Didn't realise how much Watford hated Palace, perhaps that Muppet Harry the hornet has amplified the dislike of Watford for a lot of Palace fans & I suppose after the Fa cup semi and play off finals made Watford fans hate us more, I gave you Kudos when Watford got promoted last time around and honestly thought Roy would keep you up last year.
    I know we're far from safe we have hope after that much improved perfomance against a poor Leicester team.
    Re Luton horrible fans , much prefer Watford fans even if it's not reciprocated.

    We've had our battles over the years, but I think pretty much any needle towards you as a club from our perspective has subsided now, although we really don't like Hodgson for basically half-arsing his entire time here. Even if you take that away, I think it is a shame how you got rid of Vieira for a dinosaur when things weren't even looking that bad for you, you should stay up fairly comfortably regardless of the manager with your games to come

    You probably don't realize how much Palace fans hate Watford but it you were to scroll back to Watford-related threads on your main forum you'll see it in spades, or even in passing they seem to delight in our recent demise. Clearly the villains in the piece are Harry the Hornet for his dive in front of Wilfred Zaha (whose name I can never recall cos I have Vince Hilaire suck in my mind lol), which Woy took exception too which then elevated the villain status - and same with Zaha himself for his diving - thought I always felt that was overplayed. Plus Woy pissed us off when he went to acknowledge your fans before ours last year when our relegation was confirmed - plus we probably felt disgruntled losing Will Hughes to you though clearly he was a free agent. Personally I always think hatreds to other fans is a bit pathetic and people should grow up a bit....

    Hughes wasn't a free agent, he had a year left on his contract, I think we sold him for about £6m (more or less the same as we bought him for I think?). He does a job as a squad player for Palace, but his absence really gutted us as I'd say it arguably left us with a worse team than the team that got us up...it's easy to call him Judas, but any sane player would have left our utter clown show of a club!

    A worse midfield for sure, although in Dennis we had a good goalscorer, even if he didn't sustain his purple patch

    When? He might have said it when things were looking relatively rosy and then realised he made an error later on

    He wanted to stay long term but was bombed out. And then we ended up with the likes of Kucka, Kayembe and Sissoko.

    Palace fans love his style & effort but legs are slowing down although he'd be good for the championship so you might get him back to Vicarage road next season? That's not dissing the Championship .

    Back to Roy Hodgson played 6 W4 D1 L1

    Mission completed

    Talk of another season I dunno if I want him to stay, but on form who can argue?

    Personally I do not think we have ever had such an uninterested manager as Hodgson was. Yes you can look at how terrible the playing staff were and their general attitude last/this season but overall his demeanor with the club was very laid back and it seemed to me at least, he just could not be bothered being here. I fully get Palace fans' love him, he has worked wonders for you in the past and continues to do so even now, so full credit to having a squad that understands and listens to his tactics and formations. From a Watford prospective, he was by far the worst of the three we had last season (although with our current crop a bag of sheep's slop would do just as good), he even fell asleep at one game, and we won't go over how he treated the fans' after we were relegated at your ground.

    He's done many great things for the English game, has a lot of merrit and it's difficult to have anymore bad words for all his achievments. Whether or not he finally steps away from football after this current season is down to him, but I cannot see him taking on another job, and I would never like to see him as our manager again. Not a knock against him as a person, just in a manager role, he was a bad fit.

    Yeah sorry he might be carrying an injury but he's been struggling with the pace of the prem, we love him tho.
