    Only one rule : You MUST put a reason for it.

    You can of course Baz and other evils in as many times as you like...




    A prize will be issued for the best submissions

    Remember where it all started:
    The book 1984 by George Orwell...Room 101, introduced in the climax of the novel, is a torture chamber in the Ministry of Love, in which the Party attempts to subject a prisoner to his or her own worst nightmare, fear or phobia, with the object of breaking down their resistance.

    "You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world."

    — O'Brien, Part III, Chapter V

    Enjoy!!

    ;)

    One of many reasons:

    Immediately after the 1-0 Play off final defeat to Palace defeat, local businessman Bassini sent several gloating text messages to Frank Smith, deputy sports editor of the Watford Observer.

    Bassini said: “How is the feeling in the town now? Ask Anthony (Matthews, the group sports editor) because for me the feeling is amazing.

    “What goes around comes around. This is my happiest memory of Watford. Print this in the paper, Laurence Bassini. I have to go now and open the Champagne. All my love to Watford.”

    He followed up this classy exchange with: “Can’t see any Watford fans on telly. They must be in Watford town enjoying the feeling with Anthony.

    He then added: “Put me on your website tonight; every word I have quoted.”

    Well you orrible oik.... what goes around does indeed come around ... Bye bye......

    With apologies to anyone who may know him but I would put Douggie Brimson in there for associating our club with hooliganism.

    Anytime a player dives, sorry can´t deal with it and this will cause some controversy - FF WAS THE WORST FOR IT!

    The steward who 6/7 years ago threatened to put me out of the ground (retired and well into my 60s) for protesting too vehemently about two WFC fans behind us who had loudly abused their own team throughout the first hour or so of a game to the extent that one chap with his young lads left at half time and two fans in front us threatened to punch their lights out, climbing over seats to advise them of this. The steward in question suggested to the two loud mouths in question that they concentrate on enjoying the game!

    Nathan Levi Fontaine Ellington who was without a doubt the biggest waste of money the club ever spent. I am tempted to put the manager who bought him in there as well. How an ego could believe that it would make a footballer out of this apology for one defies belief. Adi was lucky to gain promotion in my view, but his record since that one season has been awful. Yes, I think they should go in holding hands as a dreadful duo.

    Rob Styles Referee

    Sent off John Eustase for very little and got him a 5 game ban which I believe cost us promotion

    Red shorts. Not to mention a fair smattering of horrific away shirts that would not look out of place in some poncey Jackson Pollock wannabee art gallery.

    You and I will not be discussing kits or art and coming to an agreement any time soon then... and this season's home shirt is the worst since Petchey held the reins never mind the away kits!

    Roger Milford for his sending-off of Wilf Rostron at L*t*n that cost him a place in the Cup Final and GT to say "I never thought I'd come here, win and feel sick....A great chance of Wembley victory disappeared behind Wilf as he walked down the tunnel at L*t*n" and two years later it was the same man that gave Liverpool a controversial penalty with 4 minutes to go in the quarter-final replay when we were 1-0 up. They won after extra time and went on to clinch the double that season.

    Can we just have referees as a catagory as there's rather a lot of them that have done us wrong over the years!! :)

    It's amusing how our grudges won't go away...whatever's happened since! Has anyone ever got over one?

    You beat me to that one Jersey, so I give you:

    Mike Williamson;
    Lee Cook;
    Martin Samuels; and
    Whoever thought it funny to portray the thoroughly decent GT as a turnip.

    Good call, Saxet!

    I'd add Andy Gray for getting away with it in 1984.

    I think we can allow referees... if only because they have caused us all so much pain... and so we can get our own backs here ;)

    So all refs are consigned to Room 101 which does often seem the best place for them but, that being the case, who shall we put in charge of games from now on or should we let the players just get on with it? If she was still with us I'd suggest my late grandmother...no-one would have dared argue with her or suggest any kind of criticism!
