1 last chance to win a game at home for the season!!! Ant joins us from Sunderland trying to out grump Justin and Carl for the "can't the end of season be done already trophy!!". More dogs than usual and a lack of trust appear in the prediction league as both Justin and Carl are upset at Pete's recent handing out of points deduction and the removal of 1-1 as an option (this happened at the start of the season but Justin is still not forgiving him!) COYH!!!! This Podcast has been created and uplo...

Ant from our friends at "To Hull and Back" joins us once again to talk about Hull City - the play offs so near yet so far and how the manager has done and how dependent are they on loan players? The Prediction league takes an exciting turn as points are docked and unexpected substitutes appear. Finally we do the 1 in 10 nonsense for Hull and the winner is unexpected and yet thoroughly understandable!! COYH!!! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

PART 2 The remaining calls and reviews etc... Alex is gutted about the circumstances around the last minute goal, Alan sees encouragement in the spirit being shown and has hopes for the Hull game as he wont be there, Ron feels that winning 1 game in 6 is another way to look at the stats but feels TC has not done a bad job before Jack joins us from Scotland to warn us of the experience of VAR North of the border as well!!!

PART ONE We discuss the final minute defeat to Southampton after what looked like a comeback to preserve Tom Cleverley's unbeaten run. Rich comes off a cruise boat to Norway, Charlie fear TC might be poached by another club, Mike thinks we perhaps have to reset our expectations, Greg says we are now eating hamburger rather than steak and John thinks that things are going well and would like to see TC making plans for the Hornets pre season!

The lads chat with Rich from Inside the Orange/Yellow* (* delete as appropriate) about this years walk to raise funds and awareness of Autism and associated charities about the fantastic work they do in combination with Watford FC and other clubs. We hear about the impact that the sensory room can make and the work of charities such as Anna Kennedy Online plus what can each of us maybe do to make life easier for those people and their families?

PART ONE The second 0-0 in as many games – but aa very different feeling. The defensive performance certainly made the game feel different from Saturday. Martin extolls the virtues of Wes Hoedt and jumps off his sofa at us nearly scoring at the end! Alan joins us (not from Daventry for a change!) to point out how much he doesn’t care about Leicester’s fate this season! Paul joins us and gives an appraisal of TCs first five games and wonders what the squad could be with a quality signing or two i...

We chat to Fraser from Southampton FC News and discusses the Saints manager and whether he is fiddling about too much with the team. We talk about the Saints keeper who provided us a point earlier in the season and the south coast sides chances of making promotion automatically or via the play-offs. The prediction league race for the title reaches new giddy heights of disinterest as a man with dice and 1-1 move to the top of the table whilst Weedy Pidgeon Carlos is sickly again!!! The dog goes p...

PART TWO Nellie joins us and Pete cajoles him into revealing the secrets of spinach and Vegetable Thali’s before Nellie drags Pete back to the football, Kevin Jackson joins us from North of the Border querying the attendance when there appeared to be many empty seats and talk about players who have started at a club but improved over time. Rob joins us and heralds the enjoyment to be had at non league grounds having seen his local club Racing Club Warwick (Ben Foster’s former club) and doubts th...

After a more than disappointingly dull game versus Preston where neither side appeared to turn up we pour over the performance and the position the club currently sits in with no threat of promotion or relegation – plus we talk a lot about food – which says a lot about the lack of incident during the afternoon. Mike shares his thoughts on Rajovic and Wedding Food tasting, Justin joins to talk about a steward chasing a balloon, Uncle Ron comes on and debates with Peter what was worse home form – ...

Justin and Pete chat with Dave from the "Blue Monday" podcast about Ipswich Towns last two seasons, a manager that will presumably poached at some point but doing just fine for the moment thank you! The squad still mainly intact from a promotion winning campaign from League 1 has been supplemented with a few January window loans giving the manager in game options and we discuss how this combination has helped see Town have a second straight campaign of success getting points and goals from subst...

We get to speak to Ollie from the Butter Pie podcast about all things Preston and how their managers past and present are regarded at Deepdale! Has he Championship been devoid of quality and what things do we miss about football - Carl misses drinking beer in his seat even though he has never done it!! The prediction league see our Americans roll dice in a pub and Jarvis gets a pep talk from Ben about his recent performances!!! Meanwhile at the top of the table a couple of draws has taken the ex...

Part Two of the fan reaction 5 word and long form reactions plus haiku's and limericks!!! More fan reaction from a result that saw us drop two points at the end but find perhaps a liking for the team and management style that Tom has bought since taking the hot seat. Some want him in permanently now whilst others think letting things calm down might be advisable - but either way just enjoy the ride for the rest of the season. Lots discussed as always. COYH!!!! This Podcast has been created and u...

A performance we would have taken at any point this season and a result we would all have taken before the game, however at 2-0 up you have to have a look at how the game gets away from us and ends in a draw. As ever fans balance out views and opinions and some put a large percentage of the blame on one player but others are of the view that we win, draw and lose as a team and that for the second game running our first choice strikers when removed leave a gap in terms of restricting the oppositi...

The general happiness continues with Pete and Alan going off on one of their meandering discussions on all things football from St Albans to Vicarage Road to the play offs and Alan being very happy that his neighbours in Leicester are having a hard time!!! Blue Cheese Brett wondering why everyone isn't as delighted as he was prior to the game at the Clevs appointment - he recounts a conversation with Carl that only those two could have!!! Martin finishes the happiness having skived off at work t...

Clevs first game at home and despite an 85th minute equaliser (almost) everyone is in good spirits having seen a "front footed" performance against a top of the table team. The undoubted good will towards the current interim manager see some call for or at least be well dispositioned towards making it a permanent appointment. Wherever you are, it feels like most have been heartily impressed by how TC (which also now stands for Top Cat apparently) has conducted himself so far whilst in the hotsea...

Joined by friend of the pod and DNSYE ambassador to the EFL Kev from “Where’s Kev” joins us to talk about the Bank Holiday trip to his beloved baggies!! We find out about who and what has been the driving force behind Albions charge for the play offs and we find out about some former hornets. In the Prediction League, John both jumps and falls over on a small green trampoline with its safety features removed, in order to manoeuvre multi-coloured dice to try to catch Carl at the top of the table....

Finally the end of the international break is in sight and we can get back to moaning about Championship football again! Hurrah!! Major Tom's first home game is against the League Leaders Leeds United. We chat to Darren from LS11 and hear about how their season has gone and which players we should look out for. We cover off their last few managers in 1 in 10 and move on to the prediction league with Carlos looking like he might run away with things - however like Leeds - nothing can be taken for...

As an alternative to international football or watching paint dry your hosts chat on many things with little or no knowledge of any of the subjects. The latest share ownership news is as insightful as Justin's story of Monkey World, Forest, Gardens or Wooded glades! We chat about the revelations in the "Wobbly Obs" from William Troost-Ekong (who we still think shouldn't have ducked!!), Pete and Justin squabble over Boothroyd (yet) again as Justin suggests he might be our second greatest manager ...

Part Two sees us examining Maps and Lloydinho goals before finding out about both players representing Jamaica and the issues with altitude, rivalries, odd refereeing and heat playing against some big footballing names in the CONCACAF area. The lads choose their best 5-a-side from their playing colleagues – neither choose many defenders and the Maps makes a late sub!!! Pete thinks that a time to pilot a feature is when we have two legends in attendance by trying to recreate “Player In Focus” que...

We chat with Adrian Mariappa and Lloyd Doyley about how they started their careers at Watford “Centres of Excellence” that turned to Academy set ups during their formative football years. Tales of determination, setbacks and fighting back to keep progressing both their individual games as well as their journey to first team football are lessons that todays aspiring footballer could do well to listen to. The importance of seeing the pathway to the first team & how reserve team football was th...

After the Opposition View we just kept chatting about things and went from one subject to another. Carl has a fractured skull and has recently been in a coma but Justin and Pete have no such excuse! Questions from X or Twitter were discussed, the social media turmoil of the last few weeks came up and Pete went off on one again, Protest scarves, Indian, Mangalese and Persian food preferences, what is the vegetable that goes into Mogo, pool diving and the Premier League finance deals came up plus ...

Tom Cleverley is set to lead the team as the Hornets travel to St Andrews but we talk to Sam from Blues Focus to hear about a season that has involved John Eustace, Wayne Rooney, Tony Mowbray for a fortnight (Get well soon Tony btw), a takeover involving an appearance from Tom Brady and Jay Stansfield! The prediction league sees Jarvis learn to talk and John go very Sci-fi on us - and then he starts SINGING!!! Justin is for throwing in the towel but is forced to continue - begrudgingly and then ...
