Hope we go down.

I remember Nicky Wright falling flat on his arse. What a day.

I don't know, offside rule should apply as normal when the ball is in your own half, but once you have the ball into the opposition's half, then it doesn't apply. This would perhaps ward off overly hoofball-style football as well as implementing the openness to the game whoever's proposed this seems to crave.

Well I hope their either wound up today or they get the 9 points deducted, it's gone on for far to long now. Bit harsh?

What did you expect? Standard Watford crowd. You were 'ok', really good at times, but silent for ages, but then that match hardly provided much to shout about for anyone (other than anyone shouting AT the officials).

Bitter.

Get over it tbh.

What a shit game that was.

It's a shit show.

Also can't believe they chose what is most likely the most boring game of the afternoon as their 'first game'. FFS.

They showed all of your chances. Didn't show all of ours. Bastards. Steve Claridge talking shit, as we had 2/3 chances in the first 5 minutes... took ages to get going, right. Watford - relegation battle? Yeah guys, don't forget the fact that we've two games in hand, both of which are home games. Twats.

Why do you think it was a while before I came on? I was outside the ground queuing for my copy.

Very very fair point. I remember feeling similarly disgusted by how poor and boring they were last season.

That's two FA Cup finals we've lost now, our one and your one.

Yes.

:horse: Obsessed. Your FA Cup final, mate (who are you, anyway?).

Nothing spectacular, but a few chances created in open play from the team clear at the top of the league would've been nice, maybe? Or perhaps a few decent passing moves, only a few? Too much to expect from any team that looks to be 'effective' in this league, I guess, the likes of Swansea, WBA, Doncaster etc. play pretty football, but don't grind out the results.

Fair assessment really. Would've got a better idea between the two teams if we'd not scored straight away as we could rely on 'being less shit than the opposition' tactics a lot more being 1-0 up. Our defence was solid though. Apart from the goal, could never your mob scoring and even that was fortunate. We created about 3 chances in open play, you created one. Neither tally is massive, neither side ever looked like scoring, you were fortunate we have only one player in the squad capable of defending set plays. I'm trying to work out why you were far less impressive than expected (seeing as we seemed sub-standard also), the pitch looked a little worse than usual, but that shouldn't really be an excuse for such an awful game (from all parties, especially the officials).

So guys, this was your FA Cup final, yes?

Seriously, what was the difference between the two teams today? Two set-pieces. Neither side had many chances, nor dominance of play, really. Was just pure shit, can't see how you can claim vast superiority, especially when half of you claim this is a 'standard win'. It's pretty poor really, you need to strengthen massively over the summer. Only players that looked 'up to it' were Colo and Gutierrez. Sure, Carroll wasn't too bad, but against better defenders, doubt physically imposing himself would have much effect. (Harper didn't do much, so can't really comment, though conversely, Loach looked really dodgy today)

I'm not here fishing and I've just had an excellent dinner (and a nap from 3-5pm) with good company. Just giving my opinions. Disagree with them if you like, I was der, know what I saw.

Want some lemon with your bitter? No, I'm not being bitter. You weren't very good. Neither were we. Usually, when I appear bitter, I'm trying to get a rise out of something/someone, but tonight I'm not too fussed. More open towards giving an honest unbiased (as much as I can be) view of the game, thought you lot might appreciate it. I dunno though.

Aye Harley should've been sent off. So should Williamson. I'm certain our goal was offside, also, but meh.

One being an elbow to a man's face when he was the last defender.

Worst game I've seen all season. Two shit teams not playing anything decent. Shit officials. Shit crowd. General yawnfest.
