Raw and unedited - As the news was breaking we fired up the Twitter Spaces to judge peoples reaction to releasing Bilic and as the Phone In continued to the appointment of Chris Wilder. Whilst people understand this replacement there is a deep concern at the issues remaining at the heart of the running of Watford FC. COYH! A huge thank you to our Patreons who help us to much of this daft nonsense: Chris Giannone RichWFC2 Steve Holliman Ian Ball Paul Fiander Turner Lee Anselmo John Parslow Mark v...

Well we really wanted this to be an upbeat and hopeful post match phone in, but the game and performance were so low on quality, coherence, game plan or anything to really get us on the edge of our seat, that it ended up as a post mortem of the game and potentially Slaven Bilic's tenure at Watford. After 26 league games and a further transfer window are we in any better shape? This was the game when we had pretty much our main players back and with some game time in their legs but it fell well s...

A strange game an exciting end to end first hour and then the substitution of recently returned Imran Louza see's us lose our rhythm and balance. Throughout we look ok at the back and in midfield with Hamza working furiously throughout but we seemed to lack spark or creativity in the final third. What chances we create fall to Keinan Davis who fails to work the Blades keeper. With the Moroccan international off though the Blades start to really get some momentum but even then it is a set piece e...

The initial slightly confused reaction as a chaotic game ends in a win at the Vic. Some see the three points and others see the performance and substitutions.

PART TWO - POST BURNLEY CHAT Josh has someone try to get in his car, Caity looks forward to Burnley suffering in the Premier League next season before not quite denying she’s been on the ash at Uni, John insists the fog is a metaphor for everything and then calls on Bilic to start trusting the defence and look at the positives including Burnley bouncing back against those guys up the road.

Part One of a marathon post match phone in. Gutted by the last minute equalizer at Turf Moor leaves honours even as The Clarets remain unbeaten at home but we end their 10 game winning run. A game of contrasts as the team staunchly defends but looks lacking going forward. Tom Cleverley's pre match injury is covered but the hot topic is the late substitution and whether it helped or hindered. We would have all taken the result before the game but on the 94th minute you would have hoped we would h...

As we travel to Turf Moor to take on the Champions elect - Vincent Kompany's Burnley we talk to Natalie from the "No, Nay, Never!" Podcast. We discuss what it is like to support a team who havn't lost all season and if they win against us will set a new Championship record of 11 straight wins! We find out how the Clarets have transitioned to free flowing football after a long and successful stint under Sean Dyche and Natalie really tries not to be as unpleasant as we would be if we were in the s...

Part Two - hears some of the Paul Holly stories set up by Neil S in part One and we extend the conversation around the imbalance between liking Slaven's demeanour and the results and performances all set against the past behaviours of our owner when not everything seems settled. We hear more tenuous connections to the club and therefore we hear about stretcher bearers, Battochio water colours, Lee Nogan and Spaghetti Bolognaise and not recognising international forwards!!!

PART ONE - We here from Jimmy and Nick who have flown in from the US for the game. Whilst the game was a bit frustrating it sounds like the lads had a great time including Nick getting drunk with Carl's mum. In the meatime we found out what people thought of the game and Porteous and Hoedt at centre back came in for praise, some didn't and Wendover Horn introduced us to his Mother in Law who was in the car. We asked for peoples tenuous connections to the club and we had some doozies involving th...

They say that a 2 goal lead is a dangerous lead and it certainly turned out to be here, however despite letting that lead slip away along with 2 points there were some positives here in terms of impact from newly acquired players. Here we hear the first part of the reactions and whilst some call for Bilic's head, many others think this is the time to calm the ship rather than jettison yet another manager. Carl calls in whilst Jason has an altercation with another driver in the Reading car park, ...

Justin and Pete talk to Ben from "The Tilehurst End" we talk about the issues that poor recruitment, being saddled with long expensive contracts and football agents can do for a football club. We discuss a certain striker who is frankly a pain at the beginning and end of matches and try to work out whether or not we want our players on the beach in March or not. Carlos is elsewhere so Pete has try to make a prediction for once and probably gets it wrong! COYH!!! Huge thanks to our Patreons: Nipp...

PART TWO Jason joins us from a quiet coach one heading south after what sounded like a thoroughly frustrating afternoon in the stands at the Riverside and a long journey home still to go. John thought we all need a reality check and now need to look at things going forward as a 20 game season to the play offs and beyond. Ellie comes on and talks pancakes and a lack of organisational structure. We go through the five word and longer reviews before Carl materializes right at the end to say he want...

First half of the Twitter Space Phone In after an incredibly disappointing afternoon on Teeside. Caity confirms that we are not Leicester, Uncle Ron locks himself in a toilet before suggesting that Bilic should go, we start to vote what Chinese dishes Greg should have for his takeaway tonight and Jack calls in from the US with some fabulous quotes worthy of Winston Churchill who Jack also suggests we should re-animate as next manager. Neil questions the lack of continuity and the impact that the...

Justin, Carl & Pete discuss the transfer window to date - especially Henrique Araujo and all agree none of us can pronounce his name. Most of the podcast we discuss and try to come up with some suggestions in response to the reports that flasks and food are now being searched for and prevented being taken into the Vic due to safety concerns. If food and flasks are now banned then we look at the quality and cost of the food provided with a more critical eye. This action taken by the club duri...

PART TWO More fan reaction after the 2-0 Blackpool triumph that saw the most poignant goal of the season scored in the most poignant moment of the season as 17 year old Tobi Adeyemo put Watford a goal up on the 72nd minute - the very minute we celebrate the life of the greatest individual the club has ever known - Mr. Graham Taylor. Apologies to Mal and Alex but the signal/car noise wasn't great so had to (begrudgingly) not include your calls - do go to the Twitter Space recording for those. COY...

Here is the Opposition View with Blackpool – well sort of…. Pete asked for the tale of the Oyston family ownership and what followed was, depending on your position, a cautionary tale about ensuring club ownership is not allowed to operate unchecked or the biggest "be careful what you wish for" - or very possibly both. There's also a succession of nonsense per normal including what Bloomfield Road and IKEA have in common! Plus, we find out what Pete would bring to the midfield in the event of ha...
