sdb Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Watford infuriate me for several reasons. - Their complete abuse of their ownership & loaning players of other clubs they own (outrageous, to me) - Troy Deeney - annoys me greatly - Their PA and general attitude before the game in Sept/Oct - Booing Knocky...I might've done the same but I think he got his karma for the fall pretty quickly
Sharmania Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I wouldn't have cared about the other team because I would have wanted to celebrate with my own set of fans. Who we were playing wouldn't have mattered, and I wouldn't even remember who it was because I'd be so overcome with emotion, unless it was the Scum. That goal probably helped us though. We look so much stronger this season (to state the obvious!) and the heartache for the players plus another season of experience for a lot of 21-24 year old's has gone a long way already. I feel more ready for the Premier League, IF we get there.

HEGGSY Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 Watford with their far superior individuals, of which all would walk right into our squad, where as none of our awful two-bit side would dare be part of their great side. I mean.... Ekstrand :w00t: Deeney :w00t: Mcgugan :w00t: all vastly superior to dross like Vardy, James and Morgan that we have to watch every week. Give me their side over ours any day, because a team of "quality" individuals in 13th place are much better than a team sitting at the top of the table 10 points clear. Obviously.
Grewks Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 It was not the celebration of the goal itself....but the continued celebration to this day. I saw posts recently on your forum claiming they would rather have scored that goal, than be in our position in the league this season. That is an example of what winds up our fans, not the fact you won, the way you won or the way you celebrated at the time. But the way you continue to go on about it, especially when the goal proved as irrelevant as all of your goals this season which have taken you to mid-table. Tin-pot club, tin-pot reaction i suppose.

Have no problem with him, and the fact he said the best atmosphere he saw last year was at our ground in the play-offs says it all really, especially considering he didn't play.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 The thing that pissed me off the most was the way you showed the replay before the game in November, and the way your mascot re enacted it. Horribly, horribly small time. Good job it backfired horribly
CosbehFox Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 It's football, it's full of irrational dislike. The dislike of Watford is a bit like our dislike of Stoke. At your worst moment, a set of fans were there to rub it in. So you naturally react to that. Cardiff playoff was very hard to take but they didn't really set it as one of the greatest moments in their club (and on our next visit play a video and have a wanky mascot reacting it). The game also had a bigger scapegoat. Ask Watford fan a set of teams he's dislikes he will stay palace because of the playoff final. Stoke thing with us is ironic as a lot of them for cup game didn't get why we disliked them. Well after losing a playoff semi final in their backyard, Stoke hated us until they returned to the second tier. Similarly Pompey hate us after we did them out of a semi final playoff game and we were 20 points behind them in 6th whilst they were 3rd. That's football. It's full of irrational dislikes.
Sharmania Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I have to disagree about the deeney bit though. Have no problem with him, and the fact he said the best atmosphere he saw last year was at our ground in the play-offs says it all really, especially considering he didn't play. When we played Watford last season one of our fans went to the front and spoke to Deeney for a few minutes and Deeney gave him his shirt and clapped out fans. You can't blame him for doing his job and scoring a goal. EDIT In the 2-1 loss in the league I mean.
FuriousFox46 Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I was 'pissed off' with how your club decided to take the piss when we returned in November.I have no gripes with Deeney for scoring, who wouldn't have loved to have that happen to their club?But to try and rile us up, despite it getting you nowhere is silly and cost you dearly.FYI: Reading your forum, I have to say some of your fans are audacious to say the least, bemoaning the way our players celebrated our goals at yours earlier in the season, what do you expect when your club and a large share of your fanbase acted with such classlessness?
Basingstoke Fox Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 To be fair to Deeney, he was actually very gracious after the game. Also, I think that's a decent post from the Watford fan. I imagine I'd feel the same in your situation. However, when Knockaert scored that goal earlier this season, that was so f**king sweet!
MooseBreath Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 lol Can't believe Watford fans are still going on about that. It was the best part of a year ago. I can barely remember what happened. They scored a latr goal, big deal. What a pathetic club you must be for an ultimately inconsequential late goal to become such a point of obsession.
CosbehFox Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I personally sprinted to Nugent to scream in his face asking the score, purely because I vividly remembered him equalising and celebrating in front of the Rookery,You're a twat then. I still respect your players as over the course of four games, they proved themselves to be excellent players. Big fan of Abdi for example and felt very sorry for him last Thursday night. What you did I was stick the dagger in on a professional at his lowest point. It's like if you had made a massive cock up at work and some passer by laughs at you. With sport, I respect the opponent on those occasions. Zola and Pearson know the score with their actions.

I do love our inconsequential goal against Forest though! But there's something between us two clubs. Watford are just a club down the M1 we happened to play.
Lewiswylie Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 There missing matej vydra quite a lot, but fair enough to this guy

CKB Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 birds suddenly appear? every time you are near.....
Poznan34 Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 It's the Udinese link that I don't like personally.
Brooksy Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 As if I've seen some Watford fans saying they'd take that Deeney moment over being in our position this season. Complete bollocks.
XLM Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I think the problem a lot of fans had with Watford's success last year is how they went about their transfer business. Owners of two teams freely sharing players is a not a desirable concept in football, and football fans in the championship were generally displeased at how well it worked for you last season. Needless to say you might call it jealousy, or even 'finding a loophole', whichever way you look at it, if you were top this season people would certainly be gunning that same transfer policy. As for a rivalry, I think Leicester fans were more hurt by the fact that we lost to a team full of loaned players. However, as a life-long Leicester fan, I would now like to thank Troy Deeney for knocking us out of the play-offs. We weren't ready for the Premiership and as the current table depicts, it's been a blessing in disguise.
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 The transfer policy thing doesn't really bother me, no point blaming Watford for that, better to blame the system that allowed it But what irks me is there obsession with knocky, as if there players wouldn't of tried to win a pen in that situation?
Finnaldo Posted 4 February 2014 Posted 4 February 2014 I do find it funny though. In the last game of last season we scored last gasp, away, against our traditional rivals, which was the first win at their place in decades, whilst also just sneaking into the play-offs at their expense, and yet we haven't mentioned it since August. Watford score a last minute goal, against a team that's indifferent to them, which sent them to a final which they lost. Yet they still go on and on and on about it. It was on the counter attack? So what. How many goals do you see after a corner/free kick up the other end. Watford had a great team last year, even if it was exploiting a loophole, with a decent manager. Troy Deeney scored a good goal to send you to Wembley. I don't mind stating any of this, but you stayed down, you lost the final and now you're lower than us. I'd say more than anything that goal helped us. We weren't ready, we'd just scraped 6th after a catastrophic collapse. But now we're top and your 13th, and you still go on about it as if we were your biggest rivals and it was part of your rise to the Premiership. Even if it was one of those I'd give it to you, but it's not. It generally makes your club look small time especially when you start sprouting shite that you'd prefer the goal to being top. It's quite embarrassing actually.
