nlukka Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Really pleased for the lad. I know we win as a team and lose as a team but after 'that' moment I think the win and the goal was extra special! It's like it was written for him to score today. Absolute carnage when he scored, mental scenes in the stands. I know players kissing the badge doesn't mean much (a la Beckford), but I genuinely feel like he has a lot of affection for the club and the fans. Think his goal today eclipsed the Forest away moment! Also, it serves Watford right for showing the penalty on the big-screen pre-match. And their bloody mascot and PA giving it the big-un prw-match. Now sat on a packed train surrounded by Watford fans. Never been more proud to be wearing my City shirt!

wattolcfc Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Legend is probably a bit premature, he's still a long way off being a complete, consistent player for us.

Monsell1976 Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 I was praying he would score, love the bloke, has flair, and work rate to match. He is on his way to becoming one of our greats
Fox92 Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 He isn't a legend yet, far from it... I am pleased for him, but I'm pleased for all the players, and, us fans.  A 3-0 away from home at any level is excellent, but the sweetest thing is the fact that we had the bitter pill since May and had to endure all the 'abuse' from the Watford fans that signed up here.
nlukka Posted 2 November 2013 Author Posted 2 November 2013 Yep thin my use of legend could just be me getting carried away, but if he does stay here for a few years I'm sure he will be well on the way! And yes, Watford milked it pre-match. Their mascot placed the ball on the penalty spot at our end, pretended to miss and then did a one-man reenactment of their counter attack and goal. He then came back to our end and sat on the pitch pretending to be Knocky crying. Think we all know who had the last laugh...
TJB-fox Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Brilliant yes but eclipsed his forest goal? Hmm not quite
Guest Bilo Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Imagine if he'd scored at the other end and celebrated in front of the Watford fans like Chris Wood did!
Danno Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Just seen a tweet from some Watford supporting bint that she printed a picture of Knockaert crying and wanted him to sign it. Jesus Christ small time or what.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 He's abit of a cult hero due to the Forest goal, still far from being a legend though. He's superb though, fantastic for him.
Kitchandro Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Imagine if he'd scored at the other end and celebrated in front of the Watford fans like Chris Wood did! Â If he had done that I might have understood him being booked. What the hell was he even booked for? Celebrating in front of your own fans is a booking now?! Â So pleased he scored, made victory all the sweeter. Great moment for him. And it was great he got to share with our fans.
Kitchandro Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 BTW I don't think the term legend in the title is meant entirely literally. Â I hope he does become a club legend though, he's got the talent for it, and he's already scored some goals that will be remembered for many years.

Â He didn't take his shirt off, etc.
Simmo86 Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Imagine if he'd scored at the other end and celebrated in front of the Watford fans like Chris Wood did! Â If you watch the replay of Wood's goal. Knockers runs in front of their fans jumping and shouting abuse in their general directionÂ
Deucalion Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Who didn't know Izzett was going to be a legend after watching him play a few times? Â So long as Knockaert stays at the club, he will be a future legend.
Super_horns Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 If he had done that I might have understood him being booked. What the hell was he even booked for? Celebrating in front of your own fans is a booking now?! Â Â Is madness -and I did think whilst that is the line a ref has to take its very harsh - Â yet players generally don't get anything for goading fans etc.
Kitchandro Posted 2 November 2013 Posted 2 November 2013 Is madness -and I did think whilst that is the line a ref has to take its very harsh - Â yet players generally don't get anything for goading fans etc. Â The thing is, I understand you do get booked these days for jumping into the crowd (which in itself is a disgrace) but he didn't even do that. He just celebrated in front of them and a fan grabbed him.
ozleicester Posted 3 November 2013 Posted 3 November 2013 Who didn't know Izzett was going to be a legend after watching him play a few times? Â So long as Knockaert stays at the club, he will be a future legend. Â The lad has the talent, excitement and passion. If we can keep him...and get promoted. He is well on the way to legend status for me.
