PART ONE of the fan reaction following a very tepid display against Cardiff who took all three points back down the M4. Rich is very upset so we let him rant to avoid taking the mood into Mrs WFC2's birthday evening, Uncle Ron is in a car somewhere in Florida and is as you might imagine, Wendover wants to "two up" which was and wasn't an innuendo, Danny says play the kids at Southampton whilst Nellie who is usually so positive feels really flat, not having seen the result or the performance comi...

Charlie warns supporters that if you break everything down, next season losing parachute payments and loan players we could see ourselves next year in a similar position to Wednesday! We have an ongoing fight to get to Alex’s question which we finally get to, but we get to speak to Neil from his 44 tonne truck (being used an aerial to good effect!) and points out the transfer window is very quiet throughout the market, before we chat to Kevin who got all the way down from Scotland to the game an...

Alan chooses to focus on the positives in that Pollock is getting his chance and seems intent on proving his worth and cementing a place in the starting eleven and looking at the away form which is unbeaten in seven! Pete calls out the number of central midfielders is below the “two players for each position” threshold leaving TDB and Kone looking very leggy which whilst still working hard did affect the quality of their use of the ball. Wendover agrees that the players looked tired and asks why...

We chat to Ben from "View from the Ninian" and discuss all things "Cardiffy" - including current form, past managers, Neil Warnock, Vincent Tan, Red Shirts and badge changes, losing a generation of support, weird games, was Kaba really Sorry? Also we discover why Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a lettuce! The prediction videos are strange as we have Tommy Mooney's stunt double and Ben and Jarvis appear to have gone very French Avant Garde cinema style! Fortunately this makes no sense, so very little cha...

Pete and Justin chat with Ash from The Wednesday Week about all things Sheffield Wednesday and quite a lot of random nonsense as well. We hear about the new manager they do like and the old one that they didn't plus an owner that makes the Watford regime look calm and reliable!!! We relive the semi-final of their play off triumphs last season and how they are now lining up and playing before we descend into the inevitable confusion that is the prediction league. Carl is completing dry January in...

Kevin joins us from Scotland and talks about “that Barry Endean goal” and Pete invents a player called Ron Wigg when he meant Ray Lugg who crossed the ball for that famous goal. Kevin gives us some first-hand reports of how Pollock got on and was very well considered during his time at Aberdeen and we discuss Meils point about having to replace the qualities Mattie does have. We get an update on St Johnstone and start the debate as to what Scottish team (excluding the Old Firm) the podcast shoul...

PART ONE Rich is pleased with the performance but, in what would become a theme – frustrated that we didn’t take our chances when presented. Neal thinks a win at St Mary’s is inevitable and then we’ll be off to Anfield to finish Klpp’s FA Cup ambitions. Chip Shop Terry wonders if the wingers coming off was the wrong move for the match. Brett having sat with Pete during the game and discuss what was so good but where it went wrong with the substitutions and a first sight of Dennis shows us that h...

Yes we're finally finishing!!! Hooray!!! Pete talks about the Spanish Tax charges and we talk about the investors linked via the Athletic, before we finish in the shambolic manner that has become our hallmark (with Carl wanting to eat and go to the toilet - its an odd USP for a podcast we do grant you!).

A range of questions were asked, debated and then probably no answer really given! Subjects include Watford players presenting Homes Under the Hammer, Half men and half goats again (entirely the fault of Barry and Carls 50 mile conversation), Jam & crumpets plus Justin nearly burns down a hotel, defecating inside football grounds, Chocolate Brownies again, whatever happened to "Harry's 50/50, whatever happened to Harry's wife?, Half time entertainment Hunger Games or Gladiators.

We explain why we held on to the rumour until it broke elsewhere about the return of the mercurial Emmanuel Dennis. A polarizing figure for sure some will be wary of his reputation others will remember what he did in the first half of the season with us and others will remember the second half of the season he was with us. We also talk about Louza and Healey departing and ask will we be getting better value for money (if the rumours are true that Dennis is dropping his wages by 70% then we sure ...

Carl, Justin and Peter ended up chatting about a range of subjects for a long long time, so we thought we would put out a series of mini pods so you get to chose what topics you want to hear about. We start with a an update on the Stewarding and Matchday Experience from nearly two weeks ago and Carl's take (as he was at the meeting but not available for our previous podcast) and our reactions to the experiences that listeners have told us about since that podcast. Pete re-iterates that "there ar...

After a couple of false starts we get to speak to Kevin living in Scotland who had been to Airdrie vs St Johnstone who gives us a report Dan Phillips now at St Johnstone and is immediately given Ambassador status for Scotland and gives us a tip for a Hearts striker looking to leave who will be a free agent in the summer!! A fine start ambassador! We finally get “Badly Drawn Watford” on having gone head to head with Banksy in Bristol (Banksy bottled it) in the artist shoot out and on the football...

Part One of the fan reaction following the 1-1 at Ashton Gate. Most seem fairly pleased with 3 defeats in 18 games now but some wonder - was this one that possibly got away? Asprilla missing an opportunity in the first half may or may not have been the turning point however the second half saw some more great saves Hamer and goal line clearance from Livermore that have seen the home side snatch - so perhaps a share of the spoils is enough improvement on Boxing Day! We hear about half human half ...

David joins us from the Forever Bristol City podcast having only just chatted before Xmas we stat off as badly as we finished last time. Manning seems to be doing ok but the league form has faltered since our Boxing Day clash but everyone is rather pleased about the West Ham cup result, we chat Nigel Pearson and Pete comes up with yet another new segment that will probably prove as bad as all the others! The prediction league sees a clash between Banksy and Badly Drawn Watford plus Die Hard and ...

WARNING This one is very sweary! - Richard Honey joins us once again with QPR (again) bumping along the bottom (again) and in desperate need of a win (again) Have the you spotted the worrying similarities to last season yet? We cover off the players who have played the most for Rangers and find out why Richard enjoyed the 4-0 defeat to the Hornets back in the summer when we all hoped (if not thought) we might be world beaters after the first 45 minutes of the season!

PART TWO Ian joins us having enjoyed the game and hails TDB as MOTM but thinks overall – we got away with one there. Rajovic potential is agreed with. Chris joins us and feels we had a “big Ken shaped hole” in the team and squad. We talk about the team never putting the ball over the top because there seem to be no runners from midfield looking to run beyond the central forward. Chris feels guilty about calling Rajovic out when not scoring and we wonder if the management can develop those other ...

PART ONE RichWFC2 joins us after an afternoon of remembering not just Graham Taylor but also Chesterfields John Duncan and Captain Tom Sawyer with an emotional contribution from Luther and Tom’s father Martin accompanied by Tom’s mum Sue. A poignant day. Looking at the football Rich calls out the differences in the two halves and asks if the “TDB at right-back experiment” could please end now. Playing against (an admittedly very good) 5th tier side he bemoans the lack of effort displayed in that...

After a pulsating game in Devon we chat with some who watched remotely and some who braved the elements (1459 Watford fans travelled on New Years Day - Heroes). Rich is frustrated to have scored 3 goals away but not defended well enough to take 3 points, Alan is aghast that anyone wont have loved that game, Wendover is more content but feels that our Danish forward may be beyond economical repair. Paul joins us on a club coach in Plymouth where a motor cyclist is trying to have a fight with a co...

Part 2 of the fan discussion after a heart warming display following a Bayo red card that saw us wrestle a point from the visitors from the Potteries.

Part one of the fan reaction following an interesting game versus Stoke City where Bayo's red card saw us all fear the worst but a tremendous effort from the Golden Boys saw us claim a point.

We cover good Plymouth players this season alongside very pleasing butter analogies, self-imploding defensives and who can score the best own goals! Pete’s ongoing resentment towards Brendan “Integrity” Rodgers comes up (again!), Aaron does the decent thing and slags off Ian Holloway (always a popular move on THIS podcast!), Justin takes the piss ...

Without Carl or an opposition Justin and Pete moan about the congestion caused by the over officious stewarding in the family stand and briefly discuss legislation on its way to ensure safety at events.

A shorter Boxing Day Spaces and differing opinions are at the heart of whatever this thing is. Here everyone was frustrated but after a series of improving performances a few of the potential weaknesses all came home to roost. Wendover picks over a disappointing set of performances but hopes the transfer window might be used to bring in fresh faces and legs in January.
