Sad that some younger fans don't get the Luton rivalry. I put this down to poor parenting. My own sons are in their early 20s and both absolutely hate the scummers. I am very proud of them
It is also schooling. At the start of every geography class we had to burn Luton out of a map of the UK. Doesn't happen now, apparently.
Their forum is as classy as ever at the moment. Making all sorts of unsavoury allegations about GT. Dreadful scenes.
This sums up the rivalry nicely (posted on a Bournemouth matchday thread, surprise): I cringed a bit when I saw my own post just above that thinking there was any kind of rivalry between us and Muff. For me now, at most they're just an irritant who have happened to be in the same division as us for a fair while and got promoted and relegated with us and are now in the top six with us. There's little more justification for them to be a rival than there was for Warnock's Sheffield United or is for Burnley.
Hopefully we won’t have to play muff or Luton again for a few seasons Need to get in , win and get out without any players getting injured or red carded. think all of our players know what it means to the fans and we have a couple of fiery players, could quite easily imagine JP beating seven shades of **** (odd term really) out of one of their players and then turning to the camera with one of their ears ripped off and still in his mouth., either than or pulling out a gun and shooting one of them favela style. need to play our best squad , get to 4 nil and then remove key players , if he is fit maybe bring back Deeney to lamp somebody in the 93 min, thinking about it if Gray and Success where Red Carded for hitting someone after the final whistle wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen.
I just lol'd at that. What a way that would be to see out his Watford career haha. Could you imagine the scenes?
Years ago we flirted with Southend as rivals. That was just as daft as this Bournemouth nonsense but at least it manifested itself in genuine menace. Bournemouth away is a fun day out. It makes me weep to think for some it represents rivalry. The fact that we don't play them much hasn't diminished my dislike of Luton. In fact, watching them drop out of the league and their subsequent hilarious attempts to get back gave me as much pleasure as any Watford result ever
Went on hols with my third wife a few years ago and flew from l***n airport. As we took off I let rip with a chorus of ‘if I had the wings of a sparrow’. Took a while to explain and am not sure I’ve ever been forgiven. But it has to be done. They will always be scum to all O’rns
Even that had a comic element of which there's been no shortage from them in recent decades - didn't they look odds-on for automatic promotion back to the old Division 1, only to finish 3rd and **** up the play-offs by losing in the semis to a Crewe side they'd beaten 6-0 in the league?
12.30pm? Beggar it! That is the ghost of David Evans securing that time and punishing me for using their souvenir of that stolen cup win as ticker tape. To the crows!
I was at this game and it was the most packed terrace I experienced at the derby. I was spending Xmas elsewhere, so arranged to meet friends on the away terrace, but there was no way we could make our way towards each other to stand together because it was so full. It wasn’t until afterwards that we could meet up - and then as usual we had to escape the area.
I have just had a quick look at the Outlaws forum for the first time. The structuring of it is a complete mess.
Norwich have a board (Wrath of the Barclay) that is structured the same old-fashioned way but it is a lot more professional looking. On Outlaws you don't even have to sign up to post a message, meaning that anyone can pretend to be a scummer or a rival fan and troll the hell out of them or someone can just flood the forum with spam. Amazed that such a forum still exists in 2021, it's like the earliest days of rivals.net.
After Saturday we won’t be playing Luton or Muff in the league for a long time , so it’s irrelevant who are rivals or not .
We still have to beat them. The closer to Saturday we get the more nervous I get. They seem pretty confident on the Brentford board that they can make up the difference, partly because they think Luton are up for this.
That's because Brentford fans have a deluded perception of their teams ability they seem to think that they are much better than what they are. I think too many of them believe the hype about them.
We are going to smash them 4-0. Men will be imprisoned in Bedfordshire after an outbreak of civil disorder caused by the meltdown of seeing such a chastening defeat the likes not seen since Tommy Robinson cancelled a book signing in the town last year coz he had the sniffles. Children born in Watford in January 2022 will be called Andre after the hat trick hero on the day of this great victory. A historic reminder of the last time we will ever have to play these ***** in a league game again. It's going to be glorious. It's going to be easy. Lootown Town are getting smashed on Saturday lunchtime
Muff will win the PO final so we will be playing them next season, unless we finish 3rd and they beat us in the POs. At least we’d then still have the real derby to look forward to in the champ.
Yes hilarious that many just assume we will comfortably win at the weekend. I’m not sure if it’s bravado or trying to make themselves feel more confident ? They will be up for it after their managers comments last time. I think 50% win, 25% draw, 25% defeat sounds about right.
I can say, without hyperbole, that this is the biggest game of the season. We absolutely, positively, undebiably need to win. And there's an end to it.
Not really. It was a long time ago but I was taught that it had to do with internal bleeding and faeces. A symptom of shock/internal bleeding is you **** yourself. The majority of the colour of pooh is due to the excretion of 'waste' iron compounds (iron is extremely toxic and our body has major issues in storing /using/recycling it). The severity of the beating means more internal bleeding leading to more colouring of the 'stools' quickly evacuated by the bowels. The first shade o'shyte would be 'normal' pooh coloured, subsequent ones would be radically different (and more liquid). The final ones could be pure blood.
Their 20/21 prediction thread is quite funny, lots of ‘Top 2, nailed on’ comments. A few saner heads do point out that Norwich, us and Bournemouth will likely have a say in things.
Classic example of "a 10 pointer". Ps does your post mean I have been spelling my moniker incorrectly all these years ?
I remember that one well. I got in to the ground about 2 mins before kick by which time all stairwells up to the terraces were well and truly blocked. Stuck underneath the terracing structure when the match kicked off I genuinely felt that the whole thing was about to collapse on my head under the weight of the fans jumping up and down. What the pic doesn't show is the bricks and bottles that were being lobbed at us over the wall behind the terracing. Great days
