From The Rookery End - A show about Watford FC

Watford banished the memories of a disappointing derby day in the best way possible with a perfect performance at promoted Norwich.

It was therefore an understandably upbeat trio of Jason, Mike and Jon that gathered at the final whistle to discuss a dream showing at Carrow Road.

The boys keep a lid on their emotions long enough to talk through the game, which was seen through in expert fashion with a team featuring a number of changes from the weekend.

You can also hear from Arlo, enjoy a chat about who Watford should break away with for their own version of the Super League, and gasp at the boys’ limited grasp of Mathematics as they try to work out what results are required to secure that sought after promotion spot.

Nearly there. Come on you ‘Orns.

It was a derby day to forget at Kenilworth Road as Watford slumped to a lacklustre defeat against their local rivals.

Results elsewhere meant the damage was limited in terms of the promotion race, but it was an understandably downbeat trio of Mike, Jason and Jon that gathered to discuss what went wrong.

Adam also calls in from the ground, providing some detail on what the experience was like in the ground.

There is something to lift your spirits though, with a brilliant look back at the memorable 0-4 victory in 1997, told by the fans that were there. We promise it will put a smile on your face. It’s as brilliant as the most recent game was disappointing. Certainly worth listening for.

Win, lose or draw, this is From the Rookery End. Onward.

He is one of the most popular signings of the Pozzo era, a free kick master who could pick a pass, all with an unmistakable glint in his eye. He is of course Almen Abdi, and in this bonus episode of From the Rookery End, you can hear from the man himself.

The Athletic’s Watford correspondent Adam Leventhal spoke to the influential midfielder and this is your chance to hear some of that chat.

Jon, Mike and Adam also discuss their favourite moments and memories of the Professor, in this bonus episode of From the Rookery End.

Watford got back to winning ways with a hard earned victory against Reading, so it was an increasingly confident quartet of Mike, Colin, Jason and Jon that gathered after the game to discuss the archetypal game of two halves.

As well as discussing the Friday fun at the Vic, the boys look forward to the eagerly anticipated trip up the M1, while there are also chats with Geoff Wicken, one of the co-creators of the incredible “Watford Treasury, and Jacob Culshaw of WD18 Fans, who talks about what it’s been like to interview the likes of Tom Cleverley and Philip Zinckernagel.

3 points, 2 goals, 1 podcast. This is From the Rookery End. Enjoy! Come on you ‘Orns!

With the busy Easter period in the books, Jon, Colin and Mike got together to discuss two games in four days; performances that extended the Hornets’ unbeaten run and maintained a healthy gap between them and the chasing pack.

The boys discuss the Wednesday win and the point at Middlesbrough, while also sharing their views on the news that Watford continue to look at a potential new home.

There’s also a very special edition of Michael Parkin’s son, with Arlo taking the opportunity to turn from interviewee to interviewer!

It’s been another busy week. Another intriguing set of results. This is another From the Rookery End. Six games to go. Come on you ‘Orns.

After (trying, and largely failing!) to give themselves a break from thinking about the Hornets, Jon, Jas, Mike and Colin are back to talk Watford ahead of what promises to be an entertaining, exciting and nerve shredding run in.

Your hosts look at the final eight games from a number of angles including a comparison with the successful 2014/15 campaign, the impact of the international break, they even try to work out what clichès we’ll be sick of hearing by the end of the season.

Hold on to your hats, it’s about to get real. This is the final straight. This is From the Rookery End.

It was a thoroughly professional performance that saw Watford head into the International break with a ninth win in ten games; their fifth in a row.

It was therefore little surprise that it was an upbeat Mike, Jason and Jon that gathered to talk about the Hornets comprehensive win over Birmingham City.

In what was a pretty efficient team performance there was specific praise for the majestic Francisco Sierralta and a rejuvenated Nathaniel Chalobah, with the latter turning in a stunning Man of the Match performance.

Heading into the International Break the boys try to come up with their “best players to be capped while playing for Watford XI” so be sure to share your thoughts and suggested teams in the comments below!

It’s another win! (Yes, another one!) It’s another From the Rookery End. Come on you ‘Orns!

Xisco’s Hornets’ made it 8 wins in 9 with a thumping away win against Rotherham, so it was triumphant trio of Jon, Mike and Adam that gathered at the final whistle to talk through the devastating display.

Phillip Zinckernagel’s impressive form was one of many positives from a professional and ruthless display, with Watford finishing the evening in second place in the table.

You can also hear audio from Adam’s chat with one of the all time greats; he talks to Dennis Bergkamp about his son Mitchel who is attempting to forge a successful career with Watford.

It’s another big win for Watford. Relive it with this, the brand new From the Rookery End podcast!

It’s been a long time coming, but after five years without scoring from a free kick, a late set piece in Cardiff sent Watford back into the automatic promotion places. It was therefore a very excitable Jon, Mike, Jason and Colin that gathered to talk about the Hornet’s latest win.

There is praise for Chalobah, Sarr, Kiko and others, but this was a genuine team effort, so kick back, relax and enjoy a podcast that unashamedly basks in the glow that only a last minute winner can provide!

It’s another huge win. It’s another From the Rookery End podcast.
