TWITTER SPACE - PART 2 WATFORD 0 - 0 PRESTON NORTH END

April 07, 2024 14:26 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MB

PART TWO Nellie joins us and Pete cajoles him into revealing the secrets of spinach and Vegetable Thali’s before Nellie drags Pete back to the football, Kevin Jackson joins us from North of the Border querying the attendance when there appeared to be many empty seats and talk about players who have started at a club but improved over time. Rob joins us and heralds the enjoyment to be had at non league grounds having seen his local club Racing Club Warwick (Ben Foster’s former club) and dou...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 WATFORD 0 - 0 PRESTON NORTH END

April 07, 2024 13:15 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

After a more than disappointingly dull game versus Preston where neither side appeared to turn up we pour over the performance and the position the club currently sits in with no threat of promotion or relegation – plus we talk a lot about food – which says a lot about the lack of incident during the afternoon. Mike shares his thoughts on Rajovic and Wedding Food tasting, Justin joins to talk about a steward chasing a balloon, Uncle Ron comes on and debates with Peter what was worse home fo...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Ipswich Town (Away)

April 06, 2024 17:03 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MB

Justin and Pete chat with Dave from the "Blue Monday" podcast about Ipswich Towns last two seasons, a manager that will presumably poached at some point but doing just fine for the moment thank you! The squad still mainly intact from a promotion winning campaign from League 1 has been supplemented with a few January window loans giving the manager in game options and we discuss how this combination has helped see Town have a second straight campaign of success getting points and goals from s...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Preston North End (Home)

April 03, 2024 12:08 - 48 minutes - 44 MB

We get to speak to Ollie from the Butter Pie podcast about all things Preston and how their managers past and present are regarded at Deepdale! Has he Championship been devoid of quality and what things do we miss about football - Carl misses drinking beer in his seat even though he has never done it!! The prediction league see our Americans roll dice in a pub and Jarvis gets a pep talk from Ben about his recent performances!!! Meanwhile at the top of the table a couple of draws has taken t...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 2 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2 - 2 WATFORD

April 02, 2024 10:47 - 1 hour - 55.1 MB

Part Two of the fan reaction 5 word and long form reactions plus haiku's and limericks!!! More fan reaction from a result that saw us drop two points at the end but find perhaps a liking for the team and management style that Tom has bought since taking the hot seat. Some want him in permanently now whilst others think letting things calm down might be advisable - but either way just enjoy the ride for the rest of the season. Lots discussed as always. COYH!!!! This Podcast has been create...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2 - 2 WATFORD

April 01, 2024 22:55 - 1 hour - 57.9 MB

A performance we would have taken at any point this season and a result we would all have taken before the game, however at 2-0 up you have to have a look at how the game gets away from us and ends in a draw. As ever fans balance out views and opinions and some put a large percentage of the blame on one player but others are of the view that we win, draw and lose as a team and that for the second game running our first choice strikers when removed leave a gap in terms of restricting the oppo...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 2 WATFORD 2 - 2 LEEDS UNITED

March 30, 2024 12:00 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MB

The general happiness continues with Pete and Alan going off on one of their meandering discussions on all things football from St Albans to Vicarage Road to the play offs and Alan being very happy that his neighbours in Leicester are having a hard time!!! Blue Cheese Brett wondering why everyone isn't as delighted as he was prior to the game at the Clevs appointment - he recounts a conversation with Carl that only those two could have!!! Martin finishes the happiness having skived off at wo...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 WATFORD 2 - 2 LEEDS UNITED

March 30, 2024 10:38 - 42 minutes - 38.8 MB

Clevs first game at home and despite an 85th minute equaliser (almost) everyone is in good spirits having seen a "front footed" performance against a top of the table team. The undoubted good will towards the current interim manager see some call for or at least be well dispositioned towards making it a permanent appointment. Wherever you are, it feels like most have been heartily impressed by how TC (which also now stands for Top Cat apparently) has conducted himself so far whilst in the ho...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - West Bromwich Albion (Away)

March 29, 2024 23:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MB

Joined by friend of the pod and DNSYE ambassador to the EFL Kev from “Where’s Kev” joins us to talk about the Bank Holiday trip to his beloved baggies!! We find out about who and what has been the driving force behind Albions charge for the play offs and we find out about some former hornets. In the Prediction League, John both jumps and falls over on a small green trampoline with its safety features removed, in order to manoeuvre multi-coloured dice to try to catch Carl at the top of the t...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Leeds United (Home)

March 27, 2024 00:16 - 38 minutes - 35 MB

Finally the end of the international break is in sight and we can get back to moaning about Championship football again! Hurrah!! Major Tom's first home game is against the League Leaders Leeds United. We chat to Darren from LS11 and hear about how their season has gone and which players we should look out for. We cover off their last few managers in 1 in 10 and move on to the prediction league with Carlos looking like he might run away with things - however like Leeds - nothing can be taken...

DNSYE - MORE BORED OF THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK NONSENSE

March 26, 2024 14:27 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MB

As an alternative to international football or watching paint dry your hosts chat on many things with little or no knowledge of any of the subjects. The latest share ownership news is as insightful as Justin's story of Monkey World, Forest, Gardens or Wooded glades! We chat about the revelations in the "Wobbly Obs" from William Troost-Ekong (who we still think shouldn't have ducked!!), Pete and Justin squabble over Boothroyd (yet) again as Justin suggests he might be our second greatest mana...

DNSYE - MAPS & LLOYDINHO SPECIAL PART TWO

March 22, 2024 00:01 - 48 minutes - 44.1 MB

Part Two sees us examining Maps and Lloydinho goals before finding out about both players representing Jamaica and the issues with altitude, rivalries, odd refereeing and heat playing against some big footballing names in the CONCACAF area. The lads choose their best 5-a-side from their playing colleagues – neither choose many defenders and the Maps makes a late sub!!! Pete thinks that a time to pilot a feature is when we have two legends in attendance by trying to recreate “Player In Focu...

DNSYE - MAPS & LLOYDINHO SPECIAL PART ONE

March 21, 2024 12:54 - 48 minutes - 44 MB

We chat with Adrian Mariappa and Lloyd Doyley about how they started their careers at Watford “Centres of Excellence” that turned to Academy set ups during their formative football years. Tales of determination, setbacks and fighting back to keep progressing both their individual games as well as their journey to first team football are lessons that todays aspiring footballer could do well to listen to. The importance of seeing the pathway to the first team & how reserve team football was t...

DNSYE - ANOTHER RANDOM STREAM OF NONSENSE 2 OR MAYBE 3 (we've lost count!)

March 13, 2024 11:46 - 1 hour - 55 MB

After the Opposition View we just kept chatting about things and went from one subject to another. Carl has a fractured skull and has recently been in a coma but Justin and Pete have no such excuse! Questions from X or Twitter were discussed, the social media turmoil of the last few weeks came up and Pete went off on one again, Protest scarves, Indian, Mangalese and Persian food preferences, what is the vegetable that goes into Mogo, pool diving and the Premier League finance deals came up ...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Birmingham City (Away)

March 12, 2024 10:05 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MB

Tom Cleverley is set to lead the team as the Hornets travel to St Andrews but we talk to Sam from Blues Focus to hear about a season that has involved John Eustace, Wayne Rooney, Tony Mowbray for a fortnight (Get well soon Tony btw), a takeover involving an appearance from Tom Brady and Jay Stansfield! The prediction league sees Jarvis learn to talk and John go very Sci-fi on us - and then he starts SINGING!!! Justin is for throwing in the towel but is forced to continue - begrudgingly and ...

DNSYE - SUBBUTEO SPECIAL

March 11, 2024 10:18 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MB

Pete talks to Helen an artist who specializes in bespoke Subbuteo players via a "whatsapp" voicemail chain about her work and Justin and Pete wonder all over the place (again!) remembering Subbuteo, defunct toy Watford shops, Cigarette lighter and ashtray combination sets, Egg Flip and Soda water dispensers!!! Pete comes up with an overly elaborate plan for a competition (at least it doesn't involve dogs for once thank goodness!) for listeners to help select the kit and player for a unique ...

DNSYE - VAL GOES! CLEVS TAKES THE HOT SEAT!

March 10, 2024 01:21 - 56 minutes - 51.5 MB

In the aftermath of the home defeat to Coventry City we all pondered how long it might be before the Management at the club took steps to prevent the slide in form being replicated on the league table. We spun up an X/Twitter Spaces and took the temperature of what people were thinking late on Saturday night. The Coventry Post Match Phone In pods will be up on Sunday COYH!!!

TWITTER SPACE - PART 2 - WATFORD 1 - 1 SWANSEA CITY

March 07, 2024 23:26 - 42 minutes - 39 MB

Part 2 We hear the rest of the calls form the midweek draw with the Swans with a couple of great debut calls asking for us to consider how we talk to each other online, provide support and also rueing elements of the season. 5 word reviews, long forms, haikus and limericks are not all about honey!!!

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 - WATFORD 1 - 1 SWANSEA CITY

March 07, 2024 15:27 - 1 hour - 56.1 MB

The reaction to the 1-1 home draw with Swansea also saw a rather disturbing and contentious week thus far of social media commentary. Carlos makes a come back having got out of hospital(thank you everyone for your thoughts and comments) and then we get into half football half social media contention and hopefully put it to bed for a period......oh who are we kidding this is Watford FC!!! As ever a massive thank you to all contributors. COYH!! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by ...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Coventry City (Home)

March 06, 2024 23:00 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MB

We chat to our friend David from Coventry who once again dons a quality garment for the occasion. We find out how Coventry have bounced back from play off disappointment but how things aren't too great at the minute, we talk about Sheffield Wednesday and "that" Kasey Palmer incident and agree that one idiot does not define a club, we get onto the Coventry Manager "1 in 10" which is going swimmingly with David doing all the right things, like ignoring the rules, until we get to Boothroyd and ...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Swansea City (Home)

March 04, 2024 01:03 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

Luke from Swanscast tolerates Justin swooning over his voice again in order to let us know how their season has gone and how the new manager is coming along. We find out if a former Home Secretary ever did play and manage the Swans plus we discover why Brendan Rogers is 10/10 and Elvis int he Principality during "1 in 10"! The prediction league sees John Jarvis turn in contrasting style videos and the Hornets hopes are pessimistic! COYH!! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 2 MILLWALL 1 - 0 WATFORD

March 03, 2024 12:48 - 1 hour - 94.7 MB

PART TWO is long but eventful We pick up with Ambassador to Dubai John, and he discusses draining boards, Troy and Millwall TV commentators and asks is there any point changing Head Coach before getting Pete rambling on about takeover discussions and the new deal for the distribution of Premier League money to the Championship, League 1 and League 2 clubs. Sean joins us and ask “what is happening with Andrews” and asks has he perhaps been sold already? (This is later demonstrated not to be...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 MILLWALL 1 - 0 WATFORD

March 03, 2024 00:12 - 1 hour - 59.4 MB

Pete gets all carried away first with a button that plays the “Duff Duff’s” from Eastenders and secondly,    he starts talking about Washing up and draining boards. Callers insist that he pull himself back to concentrating on the football. Terry asks why we seem to be getting worse in terms of results and performances since Boxing Day. Alan joins us and wants to talk abo ut the washing up as a preference to the game but eventually get back to looking down the league table and asking where th...

DNSYE - TROY SPECIAL PART 4

February 29, 2024 23:30 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MB

PART 4 By this time we had been talking so long with Troy that his family were probably worried about his safety! We discuss relegation, what that meant for players, the managerial appointments in a season played almost entirely behind closed doors, coping with injuries but trying to contribute before turning to Watford strikers currently and Troy's thoughts - which will possibly surprise a few. Finally we come to the "Do Not Scratch Your Eyes" goal and what it is like being in the middle ...

DNSYE - TROY SPECIAL PART 3

February 29, 2024 00:01 - 41 minutes - 37.8 MB

PART 3 We progress through Troy's Watford career by managers chronologically and discuss how he got in with some of the big personalities in the squad, the game shifting to a single striker up front, the pandemic impact and a whole lot more in between! Plus what did or didn't happen in that West Ham United dressing room? Troy sets the record straight in a way that only he can. COYH!!

February 28, 2024 18:09 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MB

Chris from "That Millwall Podcast" joins us to tell us about a season with 3 managers and what will be the home coming of Millwall talisman Neil Harris!! We hear about the one game under Harris so far - a very creditable away win at Southampton, as well as the season story thus far. The prediction league is its weekly triumph as always with Jarvis predicting a win and Johns Backgammon involving a recycling bin and a sinister alleyway in Rickmansworth with solar lighting and climbing plants...

DNSYE - TROY SPECIAL PART 2

February 28, 2024 00:01 - 54 minutes - 50 MB

Part 2 of 4 We ask Troy for his "one word review" for all his managers and whilst they are telling they lead to more words and stories covering some of his managers, teammates and food related stories from behind the scenes during the first half of his time at the club. No Haribo's were harmed during the making of this podcast! COYH!! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

DNSYE - TROY SPECIAL PART 1

February 27, 2024 18:28 - 46 minutes - 42.6 MB

Part 1 of 4. Troy was good enough to give us his evening to discuss his time at Watford and to respond to questions submitted by supporters.

Here we discuss the early days, the early influences as he went through non league to Walsall and some interactions with a certain Mr. Tommy Mooney. Part 2 out tomorrow COYH!!

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 - WATFORD 1-2 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN

February 25, 2024 09:35 - 57 minutes - 53.1 MB

PART ONE The fan reaction after a home defeat where two right backs are on the bench and central midfielder is playing at right back, two central midfielders are substituted on 26 minutes with rumours of disquiet in the dressing room and then a dysfunctional performance - in any other season this would result in the raising of the corner flag, what does everyone think today. Also the delicate subject as to whether national flags are now political and should they be displayed inside the grou...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Huddersfield Town (Home)

February 21, 2024 09:58 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MB

Tim points out that previous players have been limited who have scored goals for the Hornets and asks that we stick by the team and offer some patience, Ray joins us again and asks that our big Danish forward to really commit himself in challenges and headers and Chris asks if we could see Dennis earlier - perhaps from the start. Pete Ryan then joins us on his way back and makes some great observations about Rajovic ...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 - ROTHERHAM UNITED 0 - 1 WATFORD

February 18, 2024 00:19 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MB

PART ONE After four straight defeats an oddly poor game with one shot on target from either side sees the Hornets grab the three points but how does everyone feel about that? Some are not euphoric and ask searching questions about identity, progress and a meagre squad where as the positive side of the debate are also not euphoric but feel a more pragmatic view of the result turning around a poor run of results was the priority and that has been done. Whilst Ismaels in game substitutions ha...

DNSYE - Q&A (not very) SPECIAL

February 16, 2024 15:56 - 50 minutes - 46.1 MB

Pete finally gets the new recording microphone working (having spectacularly failed last time) and, before the Leicester game, asks everyone down the Bunker where they think Watford will finish this season! We also find out about a group who have come over from Madrid to the Vic and have manged to find the Bunker!!! The roving mic will be a new feature which roughly means, it won't improve but we'll keep doing it anyway!! We deal with some of the questions left on X/Twitter and Pete bangs ...

PART TWO Rob starts off part two with strong opinions on players and our direction, Danny calls in a gives his opinion on the night having travelled with his dad to Carrow Road, Adam joins us from Florida where he was watching in the office (well done indeed!) and we are able to see what a long range effect “being Watfordy” can have! We speculate what the four year contract for Ngakia might consist of, and ask “is this a rebuild?” Nellie points out being older he is able to have experienc...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 NORWICH CITY 3 - 2 WATFORD

February 14, 2024 13:01 - 55 minutes - 50.4 MB

PART ONE A worldy from Asprilla completes a comeback for Watford, except Norwich didn't read the script and with the Hornets seemingly stopping, came back into the game and grabbed another 2 goals. A frustrating night sees Dylan start us of with the post mortem before Ant asks why the results and performances have dipped so much since Xmas. Alan takes the opportunity to remind us what a prat Stuart Attwell continues to and is scathing about the lack of effort in the final stages of the game...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Rotherham United (Away)

February 13, 2024 23:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MB

Matt joins us from @NewYork Talk and describes supporting a club going through an abject season with only 3 wins so far this season (this should fire a klaxon warning for Watford as we all know!), we cover off the 5-0 win at Vicarage Road and the subsequent departure of Matt Taylor and the slow but eventual recruitment of Leam Richardson as a replacement. We find out what the Millers fans might hope for from the season ahead of what looks like an inevitable drop into League 1and we look at ...

PART TWO Danny starts off part two – expanding on the difference in tone of the defeats and looks forward to replicating elements of the performance into the next three games if we are to get the season back on track before Dylan enthuses over enjoying the spectacle and reminds us that we have three points waiting for us at Carrow Road (we hope!!) 5 words, Long forms, Haikus and limericks plus Martyn joins us to cover things such tik Tok and Babycham, all of which Pete fails to understand!...

PART ONE Nellie comes on and thinks that the centre forward problem may have been solved, Wendover joins us frustrated that we didn’t get on the front foot earlier and didn’t enjoy Leicester regularly lying down, Petes phone collapses again before Neal joins us to confirm that the penalty was indeed a penalty and SteveO calls in from the Emerald Isle to offer hope for the rest of the week. All in all a very balanced view focusing on the performance positives and short falls and not just the...

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Norwich City (Away)

February 10, 2024 21:00 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MB

Adam joins us from the Pink 'un to talk all things Norwich City this season including David Wagner's ups and downs, the transfer windows ins and outs, Carls liking of mustard, Jonathan Lowe Norwich academy product seemingly destined for the top flight one way or another and we get into our "1 in 10" section to quickly rate and characterize the oppositions previous managers. A dreadfully organised prediction league sees Carl and Justin get to predict before the dog or backgammon videos but t...

Accounts & Strategy (Not so) Special

February 09, 2024 10:48 - 38 minutes - 35.7 MB

Pete provides a stream of consciousness following the release of the accounts and asks what does it all mean for our strategy going forward when early player sales allows us to turn an operating loss of £500,000 per week in to a very tidy profit! We ask can this be repeated if we are not able to attract investment to make the player recruitment/trading model to be sustainable in the long term and will further cost cutting measures be needed? COYH!! This Podcast has been created and uploade...

TWITTER SPACE - SOUTHAMPTON 3 - 0 WATFORD

February 07, 2024 11:11 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MB

We spun up an X/Twitter Spaces after the 3-0 away defeat in the Cup that no one other than those in the ground were able to see - fortunately (for us) Pete Fincham and Doctor Dickie Sutton were there and phoned in to give us first hand accounts of events and proceeding. Some now think that the last week feels like a straw breaking the camels back with a third game with no efforts on goal and 5.5 games without a goal from open play, but for many this is not a knee jerk reaction but a culminat...

TWITTER SPACE - PART 2 WATFORD 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY

February 04, 2024 11:58 - 39 minutes - 36 MB

PART TWO Some less regular callers make some great contributions, Taylor starts us off asking for Dennis (when fit) to play through the middle possibly alongside Bayo as it’s in the final third that we need to improve that final ball, Guy joins us traveling home after a very frustrating afternoon and summarises our position as a club and the day wonderfully, Rob wonders if his ticket for the Leicester game was really a good idea and disagrees that the times we have now can be compared to th...

February 03, 2024 23:34 - 45 minutes - 41.5 MB

Rich is very upset so we let him rant to avoid taking the mood into Mrs WFC2's birthday evening, Uncle Ron is in a car somewhere in Florida and is as you might imagine, Wendover wants to "two up" which was and wasn't an innuendo, Danny says play the kids at Southampton whilst Nellie who is usually so positive feels really flat, not having seen the result or the performance ...
