Match Thread: Watford v Southampton

Well we don't deserve promotion then.

 

Do you? It's becaue you've never experienced being favourites.

 

.

 

But who says who is favourites??

And it means nothing. You of all teams should know that. Lost to Bristol ****ty, and Doncaster. Im not religious, but lets remember David and Goliath.

 

We are the favourites though.

 

Look, all I'm saying is teams on form and challenging for promotion, like we are, should be expected to beat minnows like Watford.

 

I know you will be. But that means little. It will be a good match. The last game i saw, we won 3-1 with Darius Henderson coming off the bench with 30mins to go and scoring winning goals.

I think he was happy

Thats fair enough. I am just pointing out that that means nothing.

 

the bookies actually, strong favourites.

 

It does mean something. It means we have superior quality to you and if we play well should win comfortably.

 

lmao...oh dear, this is going to be one of those threads.

I did used to love coming to Southampton singing "your ground's too big for you"...funny how you've suddenly filled the seats with a bunch of glory hunters....nice ground btw...lacking atmosphere, but nice

 

business end of the season now so need to be winning these away games against bottom half teams. they don't have a weak home record but its deffo not amazing. they also let in a lot at home.

will be a tight a game with only a goal in it so im going for a 2-1 in either teams direction.

like i said need to be winning as we're much stronger.

 

Banterrrr....

.... Our atmosphere is great I'll have you know. The glory hunters will come back once we're in the PL. Our attendances are pretty respectable in the current economic climate.

Oh, and at least we have glory hunters, you just genuinely barely have any fans.

 

With success comes an increase in attendances,this happens to almost all clubs.
Your ground is too big for you aswell...
Once we get into the PL our stadium will be 99% full.

 

But it doesnt, it means that you have done better against other teams, on other grounds under completely different circumstances. We cannot predict the future, we can only guess. Our team has changed since we last met and so has yours no doubt. So no-one knows what will happen. Least of all the bookies, they look simply at the last games results. You could have won the last 2 based on incorrect decisions or luck, not because you were the best team. Therefore, bookies odds and favourites means nothing.

 

and theyre in such a strong financial position they can turn away fans and just have empty seats every home game

 

The last game I saw we dicked you 4-0... This season.

 

you must have been having an off day when we came down your way this season. Didn't notice the 'atmosphere' to be honest. I will leave it to one of our statisticians to point out the fan to resident ratio...i'm not good at that, but i'm sure you'll find that thankfully Watford are very well endowed with local fans...that argument never washes though other clubs do try and make out that we are an unsupported club sometimes, makes me chuckle.

 

how is our ground too big for us?? We have only 3 sides! lol

PL? i wonder what season that will be...

 

i think youll find bookies odds are determined by people betting on them actually...
