"Here they come; the dreaded Muff. The over-staying guest at the Premiership party. The league's lingering fart. Have they still not got relegated? Well it must be this season, surely..."

Makes you laugh, but so desperate to reply to it.

Lingering fart? This season? Have they seen the table and how many points they are on too!
 
I'll make a point of telling any Watford fans willing to listen that we've been in the same division as them more than anyone else, so they can't have been a bigger club than us very often.
 
Got no time for winey Watford but the fact we have both been in this division for four years now kinda puts to bed that old cliche line about the Championship being an “easy “ division the year we got promoted .
Would be interested to know last time the top two teams both survived in the Prem as long as we both have .

Newcastle and West Brom 2010.
Newcastle lasted 6 seasons and West Brom 8.
 
Not sure what they put in the pies around Watford way...the forum is awash with some of the most....well I've scanned the Oxford Dictionary and Encyclopedia Britanica to find a word to describe.it...it can only be then ..a Badge of Honour for us!
At least I now know that Callum :dev: is the Devil and Adam is not the Biblical one.
Shame really..Watford are such a nice little club too. and the world's tourists are fighting each other to visit the delightful town!!!

Tomorrow is going to be Hell me reckons :taz::bounce::wahey::banana::guns:
:tank:....for them? And I'm not sure they will fall in love with Jeffo or Brooksy if he plays!!

This is brilliant. Their detest of us is absolutely hilarious. Who would have thought a bit of media bias and a last minute sheff wed goal could cause so much disdain.
 
...to be fair we had a similar experience at Tranmere when Doncaster snatched the title from us....(in fact if you throw in Doncaster losing to Cheltenham to relegate us a few years earlier and we should detest them...wherever they are!)

The worst fans to deal with at Dean Court too according to a high up insider ...

Only one answer to that....well done Doncaster ....they stuck the ball in the net.. So did Cheltenham. and we all.move on.
 
Could the (not to happen) stadium/training facility news have any impact on morale tomorrow? I hope not of course. But if a club is a 'family' and if a family have had their hopes of a house moved dashed, might their be some feeling a little unsettled?
 
All I remember was walking past allotments near their ground back in the 1960’s

Eddie answers that in one of his interviews.

Basically the answer is no.
 
Think he was our first player manager.

Like the third para of story below, when as Watford manager he tried to buy himself back from the Cherries.

Still, the Huddersfield man was only 28 and continued to excel on the domestic scene, despite his club suffering relegation in 1956. Thereafter he spent five more years toiling nobly in the Second Division - including a three-year spell under Bill Shankly - before becoming player-manager of Third Division Bournemouth in March 1961.

Having played 363 games and scored 25 goals for the Yorkshire club, and earned renown for his dynamism, McGarry was billed as a potential miracle-worker at Dean Court and he almost obliged in his first full term, in which the Cherries missed promotion by a single place.

In July 1963 he took over as boss of fellow Third Division club Watford and, bizarrely, spent much of his first season trying to buy himself, as he was still registered as a player with Bournemouth. At Vicarage Road he lost no time in revealing the abrasive management style for which he would become famous, as Oliver Phillips wrote in his excellent history of Watford FC Watford Centenary (1991):

Perhaps half-a-dozen players were in dispute over their terms and they were given appointments at five-minute intervals. Less than an hour later, McGarry announced that all would be re-signing. He then lined up the professional staff and walked down the line, staring into the eyes of each individual and giving curt, not always pleasant summaries of their careers. When he came to Charlie Livesey, McGarry goaded the striker, jeering at his descent from "boy wonder" to his request to try out at wing-half in the reserves the previous season. "You used to be a star, Charlie," said McGarry.
