Watford squad cost approximately 60 x's ours to assemble
They have one player that cost £40million
There wage bill is 25x's ours
They get millions this season in parachute payments

We got a well deserved point and could/should have been three points.

Robins ,Vivash and the squad deserve a massive pat on the back

Anybody who thinks different is clueless.

It makes it so frustrating that it feels like 2 points dropped.

Before the game I would have bit your hand off for a point.

My Arsenal supporting mate said 0-3 Watford.... That was a highlight today

Not at all, I made criticisms as well, I'd have had Gyökeres on much earlier for one.

If you genuinely didn't mean it in the way you expressed then you shouldn't be using it.

EDIT* I've just seen you've done it again


To retard something & for someone to be a retard are very, very different - suggest you look it up.

I grew up in a family with two severely disabled siblings, I know exactly which way it can be used, which is again why I find it bizarre people are trying to lecture me on it.

I have given a lot of credit to Robins in the past. He has done a remarkable job. That doesn't mean he is exempt from criticism. His use of substitutions is quote: 'retarded'.

I expect Watford would like MR and AV as there management team
They are both highly regarded and we need to keep progressing and investing or they will be off.

Every time I come on here you’re thong’s in a twist. I watch the game and comment at half time or afterwards. Why is that so mystifying?

Ahh... ‘Virtue signal’... your go-to. I don’t care so much that it’s inaccurate, it’s getting fucking boring. Try something different, like ‘Moral Grandstanding’ or something yeah?

It isn't mystifying, it is clear as day what you do.

Equally, what you are saying is nonsense. I'm really not sure why you bothered getting involved.

Having lions share of possession, playing the better football & having created more chances we should all feel slightly disappointed not to have won that game.
The difference in winning & drawing today was simple for all to see, we’ve not got a recognised striker who can hit the back of the net. As others have said Godden or Walker would probably have made the difference not just on this game but that against Forest too. What I will take from it is a clean sheet & not looking as shaky at the back.

For the fist time in a while, you’re right. I admit it was piss poor attempt to stop you making yourself looking like a twat.

Would have been pleased with a 0-0 looking at current form and positions, but really disappointed we created chances but didn't put them away. Opportunity missed.

Teams around us picking up points, now only 3 above the drop. But have to take some heart - they're taking them off the "better" teams so it's not impossible. A clean sheet and if we play like that and have Walker and Vic fit, I'm sure we can scrape some wins.

So, if MR and AV are no longer our management team who would you "realistically" have in their place and why do you think they would do a better job with the resources available?

Ww don’t have any player with championship quality but when you’ve got a number 9 whose not even proven in league 2 and the others are injured you might try something?

We did bring in a striker on loan, and he should start ahead of Max

And that number 9 is injured and keeping out a recently signed Swedish international

Just goes to prove that Biamou is not as bad as Grendel thinks.
But, of course, Grendel knows more about football management than MR and AV

To be honest I don’t disagree with Grendels opinions on Max. Unfortunately he’s not up to the level. Can’t knock his effort but ultimately when you miss sitters regularly we need better to survive

I agree that Biamou is not a championship player and neither is Gyokores.
Biamou is our number 3 striker to come on at 80 minutes
He gets paid accordingly,so why knock him
If Godden and Walker are fit he barely makes the bench but no need to keep slagging him off as he has "his place" in the squad.

You’ve now openly said you want him sacked so drop the posturing about recruitment made in a heavily depleted squad.

He has been helpful/worth listening to some other times. Just on this he’s blinded by wanting the manager sacked for ages
