Watford (H) Pre-Match Thread

[cibaman]

Watford are 7th and are a very good team, if inconsistent. I'd be worried about playing them if we were 10 points clear at the top.

I worry about whoever we play. But my main hope tonight is that we return to our best form, or something like it. If we do the score will take care of itself.

About to take the missus to her first match. If we keep a clean sheet I'll get her a season ticket.

I had a bet with a mate of mine on how long it would take our supporters to turn on Pep—I had that we weren't like the other riffraff of the league, were level in our expectations, understood the challenge Pep faced, and would give him a full season (at least) before people started questioning his ability, if they ever did.

Obviously I was very wrong... and I'm disappointed I was.

Paddy Power is offering even odds on Tugay buying his missus a season ticket.

I'm not entirely sure what this means but I instinctively hid my wallet.

Our support is no different to anyone elses,it consists of people from every walk of society,as such its bound to attract a percentage who have a higher degree of self entitlement and/or a lack of patience - not for one minute did i think any other scenario would be evident should we hit the rough patch we're currently experiencing.

I look forward to the next part,the humble pie chapter ;-)

He's been searching all day. Earlier he said how his excluding Yaya until getting an apology had undermined his authority in the dressing room.

She, dear!!

If any of you had bothered to read my post properly you would have noticed that I said about the players being scared of doing anything without looking over to the sideline for instructions, once the player is on the pitch he should be able to get on with the game, yes the manager should be able to give instructions, but not micro-management. As for the managers you mentioned I don't actually watch them, apart from Mancini and he didn't micro-manage, I support Manchester City!!

Sadly there are clearly a number of slapped arses who are showing themselves to be as bad as the Rags in so far as they expect everything to go smoothly from the off and expect the league won by Christmas.

Apart from the corruption and shit refereeing performances, ruining my enjoyment of the game, some of the posts on here are just downright pathetic and disappointing.

I know what you're saying. Actually, the general consensus on the board last season was that we would struggle this year due to the squad he was inheriting. Most of us could name no more than 3 or 4 that were "Pep players". But I think the frustration is due to the start we made, followed by a regression to Pellegrini football. Had our season been flipped the other way - yet still on the same points - we'd be happier. It just feels like we're becoming less of a Pep team every week rather than getting better. I think that is the greatest gripe people have.
