Punters questions are mixed amongst your hosts normal meandering nonsense and Tommy is polite enough to play along. We cover Liverpool away - collars down, blades of grass in medal cases, living on a desert island, injury nightmares, Hive Live during lock down, marriage proposals, calling people during lockdown, what Jamie Moralee and Chistophe Dugarry do and don't have in common and who you'd rather be fouled most by out of Robbo and Jonno, how much Tommy enjoyed that game up the road and lots ...
In part 2 we look at the 1998/99 Season in detail. Peter gets his 6's and 7's and all mixed up, we discover Alan Smarts middle names but most of all we find out about a group of players coming into the Championship and not being fancied to do well who with hard work, determination, impeccable leadership and a team bond went on to create history - if that isn't a big enough metaphor for this season then we don't know what is! Some people say that you should never meet your heroes. Those people ha...
Few players have been taken to the hearts of Watford fans as quickly or so intensely as Tommy Mooney. He was kind enough to give us an entire evening.

It's never dull following the Hornets! Rob Edwards joins as Head Coach for next season and after Roy Hodgson Wave-gate on Saturday we host Everton in a nil-nil draw that he is high on work rate but short on quality! Most people seem pretty happy about both! Whilst boo's didn't happen at the Vic the empty seats were enough to register a sizeable protest vote against Roy, the regimes performance in recent seasons and the teams performance in this season - but the lads who played put in a shift and...

So where to start!?! Well, we were relegated and Roy Hodgson didn't wave to the Watford fans even though he's employed by the club and had just presided over the final nail of relegation being firmly nailed into this seasons coffin. This was because the Watford fans were too far away (those pesky Watford away fans!) where as the Palace fans he was happy to smile and wave to! Then Carl was bitten by a Horse called Hercules who was the size of Cyprus but had bad teeth - I appreciate the story has ...

After the disappointment of the stoppage time defeat at home to Brentford the Hornets travelled to the Etihad to face Guardiola's expensively assembled team that were looking for a 15th consecutive win over Watford. The 5-1 defeat put the supporters in both a reflective as well as forward looking mood. Most would agree the end of the season can't come soon enough and the hope that a fresh start in a more forgiving environment than the Premier League will make next season better, but others were ...
VAR has been called into play and a re-match has been ordered to correct a great injustice.
