Match Thread: Watford v bristol City

There's nothing wrong with blind optimism guys. I predicted 4-0 I had a hunch it was wrong but it was nothing against your club. The form book is never one to go by in football I usually put the first score that comes into my head because it's a bit of fun. That just happened to be 4-0. If I looked at it objectively and studied the 'form guide' I probably would have plumped for a draw or a narrow win either way. Don't take offence guys. There's two rules to my predictions in work. I'll always predict a City win and always predict Baadiff to lose! You won't get relegated this season and neither will we Good luck for the rest of the season except for your trip to the Gate

 

i can relate to that..i never predict a Watford loss, nor a Cardiff win ...Good luck too...

 

Matt on the return fixture, dont forget to remind Jamo to give us a goal like we gave you

 

Watford away was never going to be easy and no city fan would genuinely think it would be. We had some luck with the own goal - but remember, we have Jamo, so strange things happen between the sticks for us too over an entire season!!
I'm pleased with a draw tbh - we haven't played in the wet under McInnes before and I admit I was a little nervy!

 

Your best player by a country mile was Kightly and he's not your player.

You could have been 4-0 up at half time? Well I didn't see that. (shots and free kicks off target are just that!) your second goal seemed to dip bizarrely (I haven't seen a replay) so I cant really see what your on about!

You never answered why the sky reporter said we were the better side by miles and there was only gonna be one winner?

Oh, and I always tend to judge performances over a whole game, one half is irrelevant!

 

Or to put it another way, five penalties ago Brendan Rodgers was reasonably popular at Vicarage Road.

 

There were 3 what looked stonewall pens that I saw 2 for us and 1 for city! the worst was right near the end city centre half pushed Deeney whilst he was jumping to meet a cross!

 

Yeah, and what of it?? Kightly is on loan to us. What difference does it make that he is not ours?

David James mad a couple of saves in the first half and Yeates free kick was only inches past the post. So we COULD not should but could have had 4 if all the shots had gone in.

I have no idea why they said that. As i said the stats show a balanced game. Even your manager said you weren't your best. So why Sky said that is beyond me.

I tend to look at the two halves individually. Both are relevant after all if we only played the first half we would have won, and if we had only played the 2nd then you would have won.

 

Four teams play in yellow : Norwich, Watford, Burton Albion and Torquay. Between them a grand total of four penalties have been scored this season.

 

You could be on to something here! The cones in the retina which provide colour sensitivity are concentrated in the macula - which happens to be a yellow spot in the centre. Could it be that they are therefore insensitive to all things yellow? Should we revert to our blue strip from days of yore?

Any eye experts out there?

 

interesting theory! There has to be a reason the refs are missing the blatantly obvious, and if it's not them, it has to be the colour of the shirt...doh! Why didn't we think of that before! lol

 

It's a fix, put in a complaint

 

I think its more the problem of low quality refs with low quality eye sight more than shirt colours

 

"David James mad a couple of saves in the first half and Yeates free kick was only inches past the post. So we COULD not should but could have had 4 if all the shots had gone in"

FFS, You could say that about all games and all teams?

"I tend to look at the two halves individually. Both are relevant after all if we only played the first half we would have won, and if we had only played the 2nd then you would have won"

But its not, its played over 90 minutes, I take it you haven't been watching football very long then?

 

Yes you could! Well done.

I know its played over 90mins, but as any pundit will tell you and any fan will tell you, its a game of two halves.

I have been watching matches for 7 years.

 

Whatever the Sky pundit said, I felt that if any team were to win it would be us. No idea how we were "dominated" ???.....

We had the better chances....end of the day you got a point because we made a mistake.

 

I was not going to point out that we gifted them the point.

 

Gift wrapped with pretty ribbons

 

It certainly was an early Christmas present.

 

City always get a point because they were lucky. Thats the nature of their dirty football side, cheat, luck and pure filth
