City Vs Watford (FA Cup) Post Match Discussion Thread

[glen glen]

Hi Watford fan here...had high hopes of a big upset today because believe me we have a good side and i have high hopes of returning here again next season. Dont listen to embarrassed watford fans saying they are appalled by the utd chants.It was to wind you up and by the sounds of things it did. We hate Luton and was a double blow them winning today...if more of your fans had known that you could have hit us back with that.
Ive registerd on here because so many city fans acusing us of being Utd fans. we are Watford fans !!! We were given 6000 tickets and only one ticket allowed per season ticket holder if you had given us more then you would have got more plastic fans.
Have you been at the top of the premiership, so long in the prawn sandwich league (that we crave to be in) that utd chants hurts so much ? ......We see kids walking about in watford in Man Utd shirts and I would put my life on the fact that nearly every Watford fan there today would prefer you to win the league than Man Utd. Dont agree with the chants but your moaning makes you sound like your getting more like them.... Do some of your fans actually believe that chant was because we just couldnt controll ourselves any longer and had to let it out ?
Met a lot City fans before and after the game made us feel very welcome great laugh and very friendly , was disappointing but enjoyed my visit to your city...this is the internet so not to be taken seriously but had to send msg especially after reading about horrified watford fans ..had to put the record straight. Good luck for the rest of the season and hope you beat the red side of the city to the title.

Number 41 and 39 looked like pretty good players. 41 in particular, ball stuck to his feet as he dipped one way and turned the other then made a decent pass... Silva-esque.

Yeah,41 is one of the udinese lot,forestieri.nicknamed 'fessi' by us because well ,kinda obvious, but I think he has a long long way to go before he could cut it at the top level.And 39 will be Chalobah from chelsea,very composed on the ball and only 18 years old!

[/quote]Yeah I agree Eustace is about at his level, enthusiastic, combative, agricultural, but necessary. You did look dangerous at times, but whenever you neared the box, it seemed to wither, but we did have pretty well our best defence out today.

As I said good luck for the rest of the season, I can't say I want Cardiff coming up, and I can't stand Middlesbrough, and I'm not a lover of Selhurst either, plus you away is a home game for me (30 minutes from home, and 10 minutes from work), but if you do come up, don't start with the £50 ticket crap like Norwich (and worse like QPR), because I won't be coming.[/quote]

Absolutely, Watford pride themselves on being a family club and doing their bit for the community and I'd hate for us to become one of those clubs.And if it's any consolation about the 'United' chants, I used to support the cunts,then saw the light and realised its pointless supporting a team the other side of the country!

At the game today and thought we played decent and worked hard.

Dzeko didn't do himself justice after being given a start.....pleased for Lescott, thought he was solid enough. Mario looked sharp........maybe will start at the emirates

Why was the goal disallowed...........anyone know???

Offside pretty straight forward decision for a linesman who knew laws of the game unlike when we lost in cup to Notts County many years ago.

these flags look fantastic, is this the citizens ???? at work

we need more of these flags

no it was the blue alliance in 109. there's a flag that says "citizens manchester - cm11" but don't think that group the citizens exist any more

Did anyone behind the flags whinge when they were waved? Remember some comments on BM where people threatened to punch anyone waving flags in front of them (LOL). I thought they were immense and added colour to the ground, should bring them to every game and it could encourage others to make their own.

It's laughable isn't it. We need more flags like this!!! Glad we are looking at the European style of support

As a Watford fan there today, i hated the United chants. Granted, it was for banter etc.. but, really?

We never sing, other than "Yellow Army" and "Deeney, Deeney.." purely 'cos anymore than 2 words and things get confusing for some. Proud of the numbers we took today/yesterday however! If we stuck the one on one chance we had to i think level it(?) then the atmosphere MAY have picked up.

But oh well, back to taking 200 to away games to the likes of Barnsley! Good luck this season and beat those reds to the title!

Thanks for that Watford Dan, I was talking to your mascot after the match and saying how good it was to see such a great turnout, didn't mention the chants about the quiet neighbours, and he was saying that the welcome he had received at our place was great and how well we had looked after him. Also wished us good luck for the rest of the season as well. Seemed a nice guy. Wished me a safe journey home........... when he had the longer journey really!!

Good luck for your season as well.

Gianfranco Zola is my second favourite manager!! If you look on our tunnel cam thread on the main website I loved the way he high fived all your player escorts and then went back down our line to high five ours as well. Such a gentleman, as we applauded him after he had been over to your fans he applauded us as well. You are lucky, but not quite as lucky as us, we have Roberto Mancini. Loved the way the songs for the two Managers kept over lapping each other!! :-)
