Match Day Thread Watford v Swansea City

I’m glad he’s not - he was bloody good!

 

If I remember correctly he scored in that 3-3 thriller at a jam packed Vetch at the end of the 77/78 season when we both got promoted.

 

I think so - I was on the North Bank that evening - almost directly opposite the Players’ Tunnel

 

I'm certainly in the " minority " when it comes to serially insulting and demeaning the manager of the club you purport to love so much.

You, of course, revel in the insults hurled at Cooper, as evidenced by the spineless thread you created in his name.

If Cooper is " clueless ", then thank goodness he is else he may have ended up being a keyboard warrior on here and contributing absolutely nothing to the club's cause.

Have a nice day now.

 

Me too, great match. Watford were terrific in those days under Graham Taylor.

Jenkins was a real menace.

 

It came down to two options : Squibbery or Squibage. I think I made the correct choice.

 

We walked the Coastal Path yesterday from Mumbles (Dairy Car Park) to Caswell and back.

On the way down, we passed Conor Hourihane - he was waiting to turn into Sainsbury’s at around 9.20am.

 

Great write-up as ever Taff..

Just wondering, as Sky have Derby v Weds on live & all the kick-offs are at the same time i.e. 12:30. Does anyone know if the rest are all available on the 'red button'??

 

I don’t think so

 

Think we were 'All shook up' a few weeks later, when he jumped ship to the Reds..

 

Fvck me, another of my 'not the finest investment of £10 on Swans TV then..

 

I think he explained that it was Now or Never....

Stronger team than I expected - surprised to see Ayew selected.

 

Never.

 

Surely you weren’t Crying in the Chapel?

 

I was, she turned up.

 

That's an awful lot of information , then again I suppose not if you're either the police or a stalker

 

It was almost 'Return to Sender' (Brendan) a couple of years later, if Huw had done the deal..
