Why engage the child? He's thick as shit.

Let him get back to his homework you bastard, you keep making him scribble outside the lines.

Ah sorry, SATs are important n'all.

We passed the ball better than you during some periods! Your number 12 was banana passing it over to De Laet every time he had the opportunity? If we were shite then so were you, I said it the other day, we were separated by a wonder goal- you passing it sideways until Vydra got pressed off the ball is not domination, sorry.

Had far more chances, far better movement. You matched us more evenly when Nugent came on but first half was utter domination. I dread to think what would have happened to you had Forestieri come on.

And as if Lloyd Doyley (Number 12) can pass a football, he can barely control it.

I can certainly understand the jealousy concerning our owners ability to fund a football club by clever sustainable means. Most clubs are basically bankrupt financially and clueless on how to run a successful business. The Pozzo's have run football clubs for over 20 years with some outstanding achievements.

The major alternative to their method is to simply rely on foreign sugar daddies, this only works until they get bored and find another 'cause' to lose money on.

I can see why Stu said Watford was crawling with fanny on nights out.

All the lads are in their mum's box room of a weekend trolling the forums of bigger clubs and masturbating furiously over pixellated Japanese genitalia.

It must be like shooting fish in a barrel if you have social skills.

If you think whats happening at Watford is sustainable then you are very much mistaken.

Watford is a tool for your owners to manipulate for their other football interests.

I've no complaints with this by the way. You're right in saying they are very clever in bending the rules in the way they have to boost your promotion bid, however, the way you're operating is completely short term. If you go up (which I hope you do instead of Hull), you wont survive. There's not one of your players that could stand up in the premiership. Same goes for Cardiff and the rest of the play off wannabees.

The long term planning would pretty much depend on how many decide to sign pernaments deals like Forestieri did in January.

If a good number do then it would set up the future nicely but ofcourse it will pretty much depend which league we are in.

They might look to stick with Udinese or try to move to a bigger club in a higher league if we don't go up - they are modern footballers with agents afterall!

Promotion and we'll probably have more of a chance to keep the likes of Abdi and Ekstrand

I agree if we just relied on loan players each season and they kept coming and going that would very short term thinking,.

Our biggest loss will probably be Chalobah when he goes back to Chelsea ironically enough!

I agree as the league has proven with everyone being so inconsistent any promoted sides will have a lot of work to do..I just wouldn't want to do a QPR and risk the club's future.

I certainly would not want to go up relying on the players that Leicester currently have!!!

Unfortunately for us, that's not a problem we'll need to concern ourselves with next season. And sadly for you, I don't think it will be something you need to worry about, either. Come back and gloat in a few weeks, if you get there, and we'll all (well, some of us), say a genuine well done to you. But for now, you're nowhere. Unless making the play-offs was your only aspiration ?

Posted

That would be because you did...you were shite.

Yes, we are, that's why Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall both did what you did and win at our place.

Hardly something to gloat about or a special achievement.

Fook off feeder club boy.

Only just got back from Skeggy. Not read any of this thread but I assume the Udinese B bellends are all smug and smiling with their shandies.

I thought Leicester put in a decent effort yet ultimately we paid the price of NEEDING three points against the best counter attacking side in the league. We've got a good base but ultimately we come up short where it matters. Not a single area of our team is good enough. The defence is leaking goals for fun and how it's preserved this "not conceded more than two in a game" stat is beyond me. We about conceded three in as many minutes. The midfield just don't win enough, good footballers but all too similar, there definitely needs to be a new bloke in there next season because we simply haven't had a strong midfielder for years. The attack, we don't present our best finisher with enough chances.

Their first was the standard piss-poor 'defending' from set-pieces us as fans have had to endure for most of the season. Once again the ball bounces in the box, do they ever even work on it? It's appalling. As usual falls to their bloke and he can't miss, a typical goal that we concede and the type that we never score.

Their second was one of the best goals that ground will ever see, simply world class. Again though, ultimately punished for failure to close down/intercept.

We kept trying to force an equaliser but we simply just don't have the bottle. Wood can finish but why do we not present him with chances?

Left ourselves needing a total miracle to get in the play-offs now and when we were 2nd in February that's inexcusable. We as a club just seem destined to fail, no matter what, it never ever ends well for us anymore.

Embarrassment of a season for the third year running, stealing Cardiff's crown of 'bottlejobs' off them and probably the most embarrassing side in the league other than Wolves & Blackburn.

Dan - How can we practice it if we don't have anyone who can take a decent corner? That'll be the reason we always concede and never score them as they can't practice it in training!

Just kidding.

Thought we were more than a match for Watford for most of the game and to show the attitude we did after going 2 down (and almost 3) so close to half-time showed signs of promise.

Forest not in amazing form and hoping Blackpool do us a favour and :fc: we might just get in the playoffs...

How about you all stop feeding the troll? This guy's life is obviously sad/boring enough that he's still posting here trying to wind you all up and you're all letting him.

Teams win and lose football games and I think it's strange how we can either feel bruised or proud of results none of us actually have any control over.

The Watford fans I know are lovely blokes who are honestly just enjoying some good footballing times for their club while it lasts, dont judge a whole fanbase based on a few ****** who come here to bizarrely boast about an event they had nothing to do with.

We may well be shit but at least it's our team !!!

Do you feel devastated when Michael Kean or Harry Kane play for us because they're not our players?

Watford have used the loan system well, those players will go back and they'll have to rebuild their side ahead of their Premier League or Championship campaign. They've not done anything wrong and they've got no reason to feel guilty about using the loan system that pretty much every other club in the Championship uses. We weren't complaining when we had the likes of Vitor, Yakubu and Naughton under Sven or Cleverley and Davies under Pearson, even though most of the clubs in our leagues at that time couldn't have got players like that on loan.

Firstly Watford have done something wrong as they are now under a transfer embargo.

Secondly Watford are outside the sprit of the loan system. When a player is brought on on loan by one club and passed on stright away that is taking one

Finally so much for banter

As a foot note the loaning of players for their development is a lot different to what has occurred at Watford

Yakubu is probably the only player that other clubs in the division couldn't have gotten and that's only because we paid an absolute king's ransom for him. Vitor was brought in by Sousa and was possibly due to his connections as a fellow Portuguese, so maybe other clubs in the division couldn't have gotten him. The rest of those players were all just young lads who needed to go out on loan to get experience, hardly unobtainable for anyone else in this division, it's just that Pearson and Sven identified them as good players and brought them in.

No-one can legitimately argue that Watford have utilised the loan system in the spirit of which it was intended to be used - Watford have not 'used the loan system well', they've used it in a way that no other team has had the opportunity to, they've found a loophole in the system and they've exploited it to their advantage. It's now up to the relevent authorities to close that loophole.

The fact that the football league see it as a problem goes to show that they believe it isn't very fair, and they're making moves to amend the rules:
