AUDIO: 'I don't give a ***** what Watford are doing' (From Watford Observer)

Quote... "We played against a better team than us who did everything within the rules of the game..."

Mr McCarthy knows a loophole when he sees one; this is not a loophole, it's what the rules state. I think Hull have followed the same route with their recent Egyptian goalscorers, so what?

Assuming WO reporting is accurate I'm struggling to identify which 5 letter word would have been used in the context here and required 5 asterisks - any suggestions? :)

Great quote and well said. Anyone remember the slagging he gave us a few years ago after we abused pat van den hauwe when we played millwall?? We spent the whole game coming up with Mandy smith chants!! Must have been one of the funniest nights at the Vic!! I still remember most of the chants. Best one was "if you've all sh****d Mandy clap your hands" and the entire Vic clapped in unison!! Quality!!

I think someone needs to bring a tape measure on Saturday so that we know that the lyrics are factually correct.

Right ok, I have just received the official meaning of the five stars but have been told not to swear in sharing it with you all. So, here goes. Whilst if it was four stars, it would be a lot easier to predict, there being only two likely options, putting an "e" on the end limits it to one of those options by arriving at a derivative of that option.

And I see Martin Samuel is spitting yet more bile about our loans in the Mail today. According to him we could be promoted "at the expense of another championship rival that the Football League had a duty to protect". I think this man is mentally unstable. He is now paranoid about WFC and no amount of reasoning or comments such as those by MM of Ipswich will lead this guy to believe he has got it wrong. The man should be sectioned but I doubt there's a cell big enough for someone as fat as him.

Agreed, but you would only expect as much from him. More disturbing is that there are BBC television presenters still banging on about exploitation.

Keep up the good work Manish!

The problem with Holloway is if he doesn't hear his own voice he's worried people will forget about him!

Nice to hear normal mangers like Clarke and McCarthy come and say well done to the better team.

Keep up the good work GFZ and the Pozzos's.

Am i alone in being concerned about this negative reaction to our situation (aka envy) amongst other clubs and media? If there was a vote on this over the Summer (which will happen according to sky sports) and the FL voted to change the current loan system what would the impact be on us? Would the Pozzos sell if that were the case? Is there any sort of back up plan?

As usual the press can't get their facts right and it has only taken an intelligent business football man to make use of the system. If the rules are changed so what? Just means that between all three clubs there will be free transfers. So will th FL then try and restrict the number of players being sold from one club to another and fall foul of EU regulations on free movement of people?.......I doubt it. This is a non issue highlighted by some people in the press who can't spell and have the inteligence of a newt and seem to be envious where businessmen shows success can be achieved without spending thousands or millions on players.
The only thing they could probbably moan about is that in the past 80% of our squad had to be made up of our youth players because we had no money. Now this is down to more like 20% with the rest of the squad being made up of experienced British Isles players and International players. This is how a team should be structured. They don't expect little Watford to do this and they don't like it.
So I say to them 'two fingers'. We are not breaking any rules.
I hope Watford are successful and do go up not only to prove a point but to show some press people or so called pundits they have all the answers to football's issues.

I have something very constructive to say on this subject. I am without vitriol and my thoughts are in no way prejudiced by the fact that The Daily Mail was, is, and probably always will be a load of reactionary junk. These are my considered thoughts: Martin Samuels, and anyone who concurs with him, and echoes his unfounded and bitter sentiment, has b0llox4brains

Yes, good to hear from you! I spend 50% of my time in the Middle East and 50% in the UK, trips worked around the WFC fixture list! Most of the time I am in Abu Dhabi although now, as I type, I am in Doha. We should meet up.

A Middle East supporters branch sounds good. I'm based in Dubai but spend a day every week in Abu Dhabi and a day in RAK. Would be happy to meet for a beer and discuss how great the hornets are!

Yes, found it, thanks. I'm sure his "You can’t beat commitment like that" line is a sarcastic jibe. What a nob.

What, Francowatford's? I thought that was quite funny - I was expecting it from someone! I think in most cases, it's best not to! The only way is as I have suggested I think. Anything to further the Watford cause across the world. One day we'll be like Man Utd with football academies, etc, in Dubai and China. The opposing supporters will be singing "we support our local team"!.....or am I just getting carried away with the current euphoria?
