Do Not Scratch Your Eyes

In this episode we discuss #ParlaciGino and why we think it's important for the owners of the club to talk to the fans, a new sponsorship initiative that we are implementing, recent form and of course, pickled onions.

The wonderful Barry from the Progress with Unity podcast returns as we cover Wigans financial situation, their season, a management appointment so bad that ever Watford wouldn't make it, Nathan Ellington is remembered fondly (not by DNSYE) and we all like Sir Ben Watson and remember his FA Cup winning goal for the Latics which is coming up to its 10th anniversary. No Wigan kebabs were harmed in the making of this podcast

PART TWO. We carry on with the calls after the win over Birmingham, we get corrections on our bad Italian pronunciation from Jimmy Pesto (Chris) around the #Parlaci Gino and we promptly promoted him to head of swearing for DNSYE (how we had survived without this appointment up til now astonishes me!), Alan gave us a damning critique of Sky's Red Button commentary including anger inducing commentary remarks about (the lack of) replays!!

We start to cover the 5 word reviews and then we joined by Pete Fincham with the tale of his evening, his daughter Grace's 18th birthday and some heart rending but joyous comments about the nature of the club, the community and what it all means. He left many of us in tears.

Then we went to Uncle Ron who compared Chris Wilder to Michael Caine in the bathroom scene in Escape to Victory!

None of this makes sense, all of this makes sense - but hey that's Watford!

#Parlaci Gino

72 hours on from a disastrous performance Chris Wilder made some changes which were in part forced but the performance we saw was one to warm the cockles! Not perfect but a seismic leap from the weekend. That being said we are determined to yes enjoy the result and the performance but also to acknowledge the troubles that the club still has. So we discuss the "Parlaci, Gino" campaign as well as bathe in the warm glow of three well constructed and taken goals - even Britt's less than graceful finish!!! Part two will be out tomorrow with some genuinely lovely moments (don't worry they don't involve Carl!)

As we look to welcome back two former Hornets captains in legendary talisman Troy Deeney and inspirational John Eustace with Birmingham City we speak to Zac from Blues Focus Podcast about how they are getting on at St Andrews. We also discuss big haired players, blood oranges, stadium issues and Blues faltering form and wishes for the future. We also note that Zac looks a bit like WD18 Sam Ucko in a similar small room (but you cant see that so you'll have to take our word for it!).

We hope that the manager bounce will have started at Loftus Road but as we recorded this before the QPR game - who knows. Well you do now of course but we didn't!! Amazing isn't it - we have found a way of being even less informed than normal!!! Plus we talk about some old Hornets who were also Blues but Zac hasn't heard of any of them (God we are old!!), Pete doesnt guess the Blues Starman and Carlos delightedly points this out. The predictions, you will be pleased to know, are as bad as you have come to know and loathe!!

Part Two and as ever some great callers talking about the culture at the club and the fact that many feel disenfranchised so much that they have made the decision to walk away - then Terry came on and started talking about going down a Tiger Slide and we all thought it was a metaphor but no - he really went down a Tiger Slide!!!

All the 5 words and Long form reviews and comments.

Than you to all contributors, listeners and lurkers as always!!

So we capitulate to a QPR side that is devoid of its best most creative players, who have one once since the end of October - how Watfordy is that! The answer is very but that doesn't go far enough to describe the abject and disparate nature of this performance which was as far removed from a "new manger bounce" as you could get! Everyone is upset, Carl dislikes Pete and Justin's sofa's for being comfortable and warm (we suspect Loftus Road was neither of these things) and for Uncle Rons call that the manager (Slaven Bilic) was to blame. Ron replies but there are many other calls in the first part of a post mortem for a game that insted of feeling like a start of something - felt like levy breaking. Pete's hope that we might recreate the home atmosphere created at Loftus Road is given short shrift as the supporter base see the play offs, if not slip out of sight, certainly see hope of getting close to them evaporate. Mr Wilder the taks before you is now starkly clear.

The mics are open and the opinions are flowing in this bonus episode. The new manager is discussed, we appear on the BBC, we kick around some unpopular opinions about Watford FC (yellow shirts, the 'cult' of GT, would Silva have become our best ever manager?) and then we are entertained by a song!

This Saturday sees Watford make the short journey up the A40 to QPR. We chat to R's fan Richard Honey about form, injuries and how we sees the match going. He's not confident, put it that way!

Raw and unedited - As the news was breaking we fired up the Twitter Spaces to judge peoples reaction to releasing Bilic and as the Phone In continued to the appointment of Chris Wilder. Whilst people understand this replacement there is a deep concern at the issues remaining at the heart of the running of Watford FC.

COYH!
