Bromby best against Potters

Leigh Bromby. Picture: JANE PARR

Leigh Bromby was your star performer in Watford's goalless draw with Stoke City on Saturday.

The centre-half polled an impressive 8.6 in the Watford Observer's online match ratings to emerge ahead of fellow defenders of Dan Shittu (8.3) and Jay DeMerit (8).

The whole team showed plenty of skill,no-how and resolve.
Anyone else fed up with the snide propaganda from other clubs about our so called bullying tactics?
The latest whiner is the B City chairman, the implication being that they somehow play 'pure' football and we're just a dirty team of strong arm merchants.
I think that Aidy should take these guys on. If you look at the official websites B.C. have 60 yellow and 3 red cards this season. Watford have 62 and 2.
Moreover B.C. have a plus goal difference of 2 - hardly the credentials of a team suited to life in the Premiership.

Love to see the purist football teams like BC, WBA, Ipswich all plying their trade in the Championship again next year.... that Will tell you a lot!

That is why stoke fans call wba West Brazil albion as they are sick of hearing about pure football.

Whilst we do not play enough football I still think that it will be;
1 Stoke
2 Us
3 WBA
4 B City

provided that we can actually win home games v bottom teams.

WBA 2 games in hand are away where their record is very poor.

Also all 4 -not just us- are doing badly over last 5 games.

Interesting three highest markings go to defenders!

Tend to think you may be right in your predictions sage..similar to mine but i had allowed for us to win last saturday and lose at Hull...now I am hoping for draws at Plymouth and at Hull.

But as you say we need to win home games. Unbelievable the way we all had a reasonable run followed again by a poor points gathering run...whoever hits a decent run will go up...we seem to be playing better but with few points to prove it.

I felt that LB & JJ were joint top v stoke--LB has brought compusure & anticipation to defence-a great buy--JJ was in & out v Bristol but v Stoke he was great offensively & defensively--clearly a star in the making--strength-pas
sing-tackling- goals-height-good engine.

I strongly disagree re-b0llocks of postre, look at the sequence u tool- -JJ is not the player u think he is, he's no rooney and def not finished article, yes he has strength re long hair.

what a waste of time you are! Silly little childish tossa with no insight to offer just antagonistic postings constantly.

Your life must be very empty if you take pleasure in this stuff rather than attempting anything rational.

I suspect that your only sexual experiences were curtailed once caller I D was introduced to the phone system & CCTV reduced your opportunities to snatch underwear from washing lines.

Then again you gypos dont wash much so its probably a stolen car ride to find your nearest source of gratification.

NeNever done anything-never been anywhere-never will--only complete failures behave as you do.

What about Hull? It is a five horse race, not just the four mentioned above.

They have only lost two out of their last 12, and at difficult venues like Bristol City and Cardiff!

Of the other ten, they have WON seven! They seem to be the only top team turning draws into victories!

They are also scoring lots of goals now, and their goal difference is improving with every game.

They also have a comparatively easy run-in, so watch out for Hull and dismiss them at your peril.

It makes our game there in two weeks even more vital.

Second dumb post from VOR `s altar ego--already gave yourself away on previous posting--nothing about foot ball then?

I hesitate to intrude in a circular private fight but does this forum have any value with this continually pointless,infantile & irrelevant rubbish?

Whilst Chris The Vic,Tiger Bay Boy,Roger,Sage,Hexha
m Hornet and a couple of others, tend to see some things the same as me and each other,they also disagree without rancour.

Sage for example gave reasons why Williamson is not the answer "ball watching" & chris the Vic & Hexham point out Hendersons goal threat or lack of with some stats.

There have been counter arguments put and accepted/rejected--p
ersonally I disagree about Henderson faults and I am a "Half full" Darius fan believing that in our systenm he does very well & that In Ellington (the player not the half wit using his name on this site) we have been "conned" by WBA.

However I enjoy the debate, all the people mentioned at least are grown up enough to argue reasonably,which brings me to my main point,which is

why do Vor & OZ bother at all?

Have you ever seen such drivel?

Have they ever posted a well thought out contribution?

grow up & go way please before the better posters give up in disgust.

My prediction.....
Watford and Stoke automatic, Hull be promoted via playoff if not automatic, there is always one that comes up with a really strong finish and they are doing just that! WBA cup exploits will be the undoing of them! (GOOD)
Glad to see Ashley Youngs younger brother given a contract, he always said that his brothers were potentially better than him, if they are then that would be a real plus, pleased about Liam Henderson aswell....Henderson & Henderson up front!!!
Posted by: tiger bay boy, mill end on 9:10pm Wed 19 Mar 08
not sure where you're all coming from with the 'Stoke for promotion' angle. Without Liam Lawrence they are very one dimensional and were outplayed by the 10 men. Hull will probably now find that getting there is the easy bit, other teams will now see them as a scalp. did you notice how good Watford looked when we actually got the ball down and knocked it about in short spells saturday, surely the way forward Aidy. The mix of long and short football in that 10 minute spell was as good as anything you will see in this division. Long may it continue. Plymouth away? another stalemate im afraid.

Oztwat a couple of points:

1. I think you have made EXEMPLARS point somewhat don`t you?

2. Why do you keep trying to entice men to your gay bar? many of us like women. Just `cos VOR has become your b***h do not think that you are irrestible!

Enuff of dealing with morons!

TBB, stoke run in is better & that is why I predict them & us--Hull will not do it I feel.

Great post by EXEMPLAR. This site should be for WFC and football related issues.

Glad to see VOR has responded with a decent post this time. Keep it up VOR, and forget the Sage baiting. He is a fan and deserves better.

As for Hull again, dismiss them at your peril. Their run-in is Leicester (A), Watford (H), QPR (H), Barnsley (A), Sheff Utd (A), Palace (H), Ipswich (A).

Not a bad set of fixtures! Although I would not fancy going to Ipswich on the last day of the season if promotion depended on it.

We should still be okay for automatic, but it really does depend on us taking max points from our home games. They look comfortable on paper, but the reality is often very different.

Over the past few days Sage’s ‘well though out counter arguments’ have included the following:

“my bet is you are more a receiver than a giver”

“Arse!”

“questioning my secretary about her underware” (sic)

“bad times in the showers @ borstal”

“did they really make you dress as little bo-peep?”

“5 of them used both orifices”

“was that you, johnboy & Vor taking turns on each other?”

“TWATT!”

“arse hunted by a pervo”

“DROP DEAD U NONCE!”

“that`s what you said whilst bending over”

“snatch underwear from washing lines”

Personally, I find the ‘pointless, infantile & irrelevant rubbish’ quite entertaining – just my opinion and I look forward to reading lots of ‘well thought out counter arguments’ in response.

Well researched Prof. Still Neville and 'Exemplar' thinks he is worthy of merit despite the quotes you showed. No doubt Sage will give the schoolboy answer 'well they were nasty to me so i was nasty back'

For some reason these people are sycophants for this egotist excuse for a human being.

Back to the posting though. LB was outstanding against Stoke , closely followed by JJOT and TS.

I believe Stoke have an easier finish that us , WBA and BC. I fancy them and us to go up.

No dishonestly researched Prof & John boy!-I thought about including you pair in my post but wish I had now.

Selective quotes--and even then these seemed to be in response to attacks (inc from you 2)

I have to agree with sage that JB is too dumb to understand things and PP thinks he is too clever

just when VOR may be growing up you pair decide to take his nursery place....ridiculous dishonest fools!

MORONICF IMPOSTER!

-just think this knob must have to run from one internet cafe to another to keep posting as others--what an exciting life!


just when one hopes for sanity up pop prof Prat & his faithful arsslicker!

anyone with half a brain ( sorry to exclude you on those grounds Jboy but them`s the breaks thicko) would see that I have agreed with a couple of prof pedantics posts & even taken the penalty stuff in good part--but he thrives on discord & dishonesty so he produces EFFECT but omits CAUSE.

Oxtwat awaits you @ his gay bar prof so go there -in fact go anywhere but just GO!

I see that nothing changes,imposters should be banned & at least look credible.

I also find this rubbish a waste of life,with the idiots involved using the site to get as close to football as they ever have.

Thats because we are the same person. I cab't help having multiple personalities. Eachone is really small.
