The non-Watford football thread

I see that little twerp got off to a great start, in his new job.

 

Poor you, Barry. By then you will be too old to play for them.

 

At nearly 43, I already am especially as you don't see any keepers who are only 5' 4".

 

Could be a far worse draw for England there but would have prefered to avoid Wales.

Poor Ireland

 

Yes - Wales could be difficult - but chance for revenge for Rugby Union

 

I wonder how many times that will be mentioned in the run up!

 

Bournemouth beat a very under strength and disjointed Man Utd. I wonder how long Man U will stick with the current management?

 

For all the money spent they are a very poor side really by Man U standards.

The fact their performance against us was considered very good says something..

As for England/Wales - its at 2pm on a weekday afternoon so there will be a few workers going sick!]

Think Wales will get 3rd actually - not so good for the Irish.

 

Thoroughly enjoyed watching the Leicester - Chavski match. Entertaining and it's always good watching chavski lose...

 

Hang your head Fez - what ever happened to rooting for the underdog?

 

Kinda lost a taste for it since we've stopped being underdogs

 

Its 20 year since the historic court case which changed the transfer market for ever and gave players real power.

Twenty years ago on Tuesday, Bosman emerged from the European Court of Justice with a win that turned Europe's top divisions into glorious expressions of multiculturalism and added a new noun to sport's lexicon: the Bosman.

From that moment, players at the end of their contracts - David Beckham, Sol Campbell, Steve McManaman and many more - could move without a transfer fee.

No longer would a player from the European Union have their opportunities in the single market curtailed by rules limiting the number of foreigners clubs could field.

I remember Luca Vialli brought some really expensive rubbish like Ramon Vega and Pierre Issa.

On a positive note Gomes was a free and proven to generally be a vey reliable and experienced goalkeeper and Craig Cathcart too.

 

Nice to see that despite all these Premier league results today, we have not changed position in the table.

 

On the other hand, given the resurgence of Norwich, Bournmuff and potentially Newcastle, we may need more than 40 points this season.

 

Yes - I had mixed feelings about the results but if we are good enough we can do more than enough ourselves.

 

Indeed - I don't want any teams in that bottom 8 going on decent runs until we are safe. On the other hand, a win tomorrow...

 

According to the Mirror (spit) a BBC "legendary" presenter has asked for a refund on his Man Ure season ticket after they were beaten by lowly Norwich!

A free pint and packet of crisps to anyone who can name this "legendary" presenter without looking it up!

You can't believe anything in left wing rags, you should stick to the Daily Mail!!!
