Silvio Dante Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 I’ve also got a silly question. Looking at the below photo, it seems like Joe has the “Mansion Bet” logo on his shirt, as do others, but some are logo-less. Is it because some can’t wear betting logos due to age, is it because only the first team squad have the logos on shirts and we’re not rotating kits due to Covid, or is it a Spurs cup final thing? Just looked really bizarre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to know the ages of the Watford players in comparison. Dennis Wise son is 21 who scored their goal. 2 first year scholars, 4 second year scholars and then 5 players on pro contracts, 3 first year pro's, a second year pro and Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason they wouldn't be allowed to sponsor them providing it was a reasonable rate though. I know but when clubs like Derby and Sheffield Wednesday sell their grounds dubiously above market rates and either nothing or a token punishment is meted out (those 6 points were always going to be given back to Sheffield Wednesday at a later date the very second the 12 points were deducted in my opinion)..............funny thing is that we are EXACTLY the type of club the EFL would make an example of..........no tradition, not considered a big club in any way, shape or form, should just be happy to be in the Championship season after season etc.!!! On an unrelated note, given the circumstances behind Derby's pitch on Saturday (ground staff not paid and not working on it, heat lamps not being used to save money, trained on it twice during the week knowing the damage it would cause) they should be deducted the three points from Saturday in my view (nothing given to us, either, just no points awarded at all).

Lrrr Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 No Towler essentially confirms (barring injury...) he's in the match day squad for tomorrow and we haven't needed him on the bench recently with a back 4 so guessing we're mimicking this (getting Sessegnon practice at WB) and going back 3 tomorrow.
