Ineptitude of VAR? I call it karmic retribution. The pigs deserve the butt end of every decision, call or judgement.

Plus at 0-0 vs Palace they had a goal against them overturned by VAR - with just about everybody baffled as to why But still, as long as VAR keeps getting the big decisions right as we were assured it would... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I wnted Villa to go down just due to the schadenfreude of seeing them deal with the financial repercussions but after Watford sacked Pearson with two games to go I am more than happy for them to go down, I also would like to see Deeney at a bigger club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a local what’s your view on Watford’s season? The decision to sack Pearson with two games left looks barmy. Can only assume something has kicked off in private there.

Rogers Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Wanted Villa to go down, but they've got West Ham, whilst Watford have Arsenal. Out of interest, what would happen if Watford lost to Arsenal 1-0 and Villa lost to West Ham 2-0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the squad they have there is no way they should be in this mess But it started in pre season with players being bought who the manager didn't want - and that caused a rift - especially when the manager wouldn't play some of the new signings and when he had names that should be playing "suggested" to him he ignored that too Watford had built quite an attacking team under Gracia - but with the fallout they had an horrendous start to the season which was compounded by bringing back the ultra defensive Sanchez-Flores Pearson did get them back to playing a system that suited their players - playing much more on the front foot and they started picking up results and an impressive escape looked likely Losing Delefeou for the rest of the season was a crippling blow - but they still looked favourites to beat the drop Then the latest fall out could have completely derailed them again.

The local supporters are presumably now resigned to their fate? I can see Villa winning at West Ham on Sunday and winning away at Arsenal is a big ask even if they have nothing to play for. With the squad they have you would at least fancy them to bounce back next season. Up to this point the club seems to have been very well run.

NorfolkNChance Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Needless to say it’s going to be another absolute w*nkathon Liverpool fest tonight. Extended free to all coverage I believe put on by Sky Sports, with the old red brigade in the studio. Kenny Dalglish handing the trophy over with a pyrotechnics show played out to an empty stadium. Whoop. Incidentally when Chelsea won the Premier league back in 2004 that was their first league title in 50 years......don’t recall any media love like this back then, in fact it was more well this is the end of football and Jonny foreigner taking over.
