We knew a win for you last night and a win for us Saturday would have done it. Strangely if you win your early game you are actually in a better position, if we win that takes you clear of Watford by 4 again and if we lose you close the gap to us to 4. So thanks for putting all the pressure back on us lol. As you are well aware getting Watford out of it is the way to go. jck
1. Hull City 2. Sheffield Utd 3. Turf Moor 4. Complete fcuking misery 5. Nuff said about GD not being relevant
Well said, GD is very important. I don't think anyone who can remember the above facts doubts that for one minute.
IF Hull City win on saturday that puts massive pressure back on Watford as i can see Cardiff City wanting to wrap up the title ASAP. CC can play pressure free now and i fully expect Cardiff to beat Watford and then Barnsley on tuesday which is there game in hand. Watford wont enjoy there next 2 away games @ Peterboro and Millwall for sure.
I was listening to 5 live and heard the fans singing "come on u ull" The commentator said "those are the Watford fans you can hear" LOL.
That's not true, we've had far better noise levels with far worse teams that have scored far less goals in the past.
Except that's not true. The East stand started off loud. At kickoff the place was rocking and every time we went forward everyone was excited and cheering the team on. But when you're a goal down, haven't scored yourself and are spending large portions of the game trying to break the other defence down it doesn't help. There needs to be some kind of flashpoint to get the fans going. Football is a unique game because it's so low-scoring. People get all excited for a game like last night and spend the whole day thinking about it only to find there isn't a single goal to cheer in the 90 minutes. I'm not saying it's ideal, it's just what happens. I love it at away games when fans just blindly back the team and go crazy regardless of the result, but there isn't a single team in the 92 who do that at home games.
So it came down to it once in the 80s. It won't come down to it this year. Even if it did, it'd be because Watford had picked up more points than us in the run-in, so that would be the problem rather than the GD.
Most clubs have a section of the home support who love to moan. In recent seasons we have acquired a number of fans who seem to think they are watching a game between neutral teams and they have no personal stake in events on the field. They rarely shout or get angry, just spectate in a passive way. For whatever reason, HCFC seems to have an unusually high proportion of these.
