Abraham Romanovich Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 A good read especially for those who enjoy dry humour . "and have a good record having won the second and third tier titles in their past, they really are the stuff that dreams are made of." "well it has a dock, and we are not talking a dodgy dock like Portsmouth that is full of sailors looking for prostitutes" http://wfcforums.com/index.php?threads/bristol-city-vs-watford-fc-25-11-2020-7-45pm.57795/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 The only small point is that someone appears to have stolen Monday and Tuesday which is a bit of a blow as I had a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday morning.

The only difference being that the very worst posters on here literally disappear until the next match (when we are winning) but will literally appear again the very next match we are either behind or playing badly. It's bizarre for either a "supporter" or a "fan" of a football club to act like that and be so negative of their own team imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturdays victory showed that we have a minority of fans (too large a minority, mind) who are literally only happy when they are slagging the club, team, manager, coaches, individual players off. I said a couple of weeks ago that many people follow football yet show no evidence at all that they enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go a goal down to Watford tomorrow I could easily name you posters who rarely appear at any other time but who will be the first to respond and bellyaching like babies..........again. You do wonder whether one or two of them are Gas but I wouldn't credit Gasheads with that kind of thinking having met a few. They tend to obsess from afar.

Chairman Mao Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 To be honest, despite our trophy cabinet being about as full as a Millennials bank account there is a bit more material to work with than the other way around! Only thing I know about Watford is I'm fairly sure the HMS Belfast's guns are trained on it because that's their maximum range?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I've seen City at Watford around a dozen times and always found their fans to be friendly. Especially when walking through the allotments to the away end as it was where there was plenty of distasteful ammunition! It's also a ground where I've seen a match without City being involved. It was back in the eighties with the Hammers visiting. Now this was probably the height of the hooligan and racist problems. WHam having always had a portion of fans who slagged their own black players let alone the opposition. The only place I could go in the ground was in the away end. The major Watford stars were Barnes and Blissett so you can imagine the atmosphere after 25 minutes with Watford leading 3-0 with 2 by Barnes and one from Blissett. Tasty to say the least. Ended 5-2 with only about 10% of Hammers fans still there, with most having climbed over the wall to get out. I'd prefer it to be away as our record there is pretty good. With one notable exception. Remember 2-5 when we ended the game with only 8 left on the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work in Watford many years ago, and, whenever I went to Vicarage Road, I always found it devoid of any atmosphere. If I recall correctly, the City match to which you refer (Wayne Allison et all) was that of the fantastic Ray Atteveld own goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
