POST MATCH PHONE IN - PART ONE - MIDDLESBRO 0-1 WATFORD

POST MATCH PHONE IN - PART ONE - WATFORD 0-4 LEEDS UTD

Part one of the fan reaction following the 4-0 home defeat to a rampant Leeds United. While the visitors were clearly the superior side a self inflicted initial goal, a breakaway and a deflection left the halftime score line to feel disproportionate. The second half how saw Leeds, despite scoring only once completely dominate proceedings until the last 5 minutes of normal time. A very congenial protest and other thoughts are also covered. COYH!!

PART ONE At the end of a difficult week and the end of the January transfer window, we got a performance and an "oh so near" result!

In discussion with...... Tom Cleverley & Scott Duxbury

We have a habit of chancing our arm and so in the aftermath of the transfer window and after a few difficult weeks of rumours and results we found ourself at the training ground with the Chairman/CEO - Scott Duxbury and the manager - Tom Cleverley. We had a number of questions for them and wanted you to hear how and what we asked and how those questions were answered. As ever we do not seek to change anyone's opinion but to give you the questions and the answers given and allow that to inform yo...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Sunderland (Away)

Prior to the disappointing end of the transfer window we sat down with the 4th unofficial member of DNSYE Ant from Sunderland and talked about award ceremonies, stealing Belgian football shirts, cutlery and Sunderlands rather excellent season before moving on to the prediction league and then during Justin's local attraction segment we find out the myriad of things that Sunderland Chip Shope might sell, discover that baked beans might be a dip and that there is such a thing as a Chicken Kiev Piz...

Twitter Spaces - Shine a light and other nonsense

Pete along with Justin tries to explain the idea behind the request that on 72 minutes we shine mobile phone torches at the directors box - to remind those that have had 24 manager appointments in 13 years, went through 3 technical directors last season, 4 assistant coaches this season (and its still only January!) that as supporters we are looking at them and not just the man on the bench. Some ask for clarification and that is absolutely fine - most of our ideas are rubbish and often involve p...

We chat with Adam from the Pink'Un who has tolerated us before yet come back for more! We hear about Norwich's similar season to us, we hope Kenny McLean isnt given the freedom of Watford this time round and we hear which of their loanees they would like to keep. The prediction league sees the dog bark and John go to the pub and Justin predict another gloomy defeat before Carls World of Fact & Fiction returns to explore Parsnip based theme parks and delve into another towns crime statisitics...

#SHINEALIGHT

After a couple of very strange weeks where many supporters have banded together together and sent emails to the club expressing their support for the Manager and asking the owner to support him. On Saturday we received a tweet from the owner saying that had supported all along. We ask what now? It's great that the statement is made but what does "support" for the manager look like? On Saturday we face Norwich and it is an opportunity to "shine a light" on the owner and the board - asking exactly...

POST MATCH PHONE IN - PART TWO - COVENTRY 2 - 1 WATFORD

The second part of the post match phone in was interrupted by Twitter having technical issues.

Part One of the Fan reaction after an emotional 2-1 defeat at Coventry but other things are on the fans minds following an unprecedented week culminated in a statement from Gino pledging support all along for Tom Clev's despite having only Abankwah to show for 25 days of the transfer window despite a thin and injury ravaged squad. In the meantime Rich takes on more difficult to pronounce names, Adam cooks organic chicken and Carl wants to be Greg's first customer when he opens a bank!! Part Two ...

CLEV'S ON THE BRINK PHONE IN

The club have announced that Tom Cleverley will be in charge of the team for the visit to Coventry City. We suspect he will do this because despite how he and many managers before him have been treated he has more class than our owner who at no point has considered that HE just might be part of the problem. Didn't want to release this but have been asked to - there is no adverts other than the start and finish. Listen if you wan the complete picture and for the excitement as Pete's uncharged pho...

More utter gumph from the experiment to find out what happens when idiots are given microphones and recording equipment! This time our frantic detour takes us to Coventry to remember Mark Robbins before he departed, Frank Lampard and how he's going, prediction leagues shenanigans, an audio trip to Stratford upon Avon, before Justin finally pulls one out of the hat with a local attraction segment that sounds plausible with a number of chip shops near by (plus a Tesco but that's not important righ...
