I just had a read on their website... They're a bit of a deluded bunch I must admit... Almost as deluded as Brighton fans!!... And f*** me do they not like us!!... Ive always found them a pretty irrelevant team really. Shock, horror they felt Capoue challenge was a yellow... Most wished it had done some damage to Zaha which is astonishing that people would wish that on another player. Let them enjoy it while they can... They are a good side but they will soon cone crashing down to earth.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

It was totally premeditated and there now must be a call for retrospective action if the ref reviews it post-game. As for the scummy "fans" on the Watford forums who defended the assault because it was Zaha, they are a disgrace to football. Wonder what their opinion will be when Pererya is taken out

Janmaats attempt to get Zaha would be laughable if it wasn't such a disgrace. Why would a professional footballer try to get another one sent off (especially as Zaha is sh**) according to the forums. Another who should have seen red, he should have got booked for his foul on PVA.

Watford have no real skill or ability, what they do have in bags is energy and aggression. I am sure after the bad tackle on wilf, and then the yellow, it was on his mind about injury or red. They got to him and the ref let them. But either way, if Benteke starts the next match i may well switch off early (not really, but just having the thought is a step in the wrong direction).

I do wonder since Steve Reid has left the club if that extra opinion and influence is missing on the bench. I know Hodgson rated Steven Reid highly and so did the players. Interesting theory. Some of the great managers have needed their trusty sidekick. Clough/Taylor etc. We've seen with Wayne what changing the backroom staff can do. We're still playing good football in patches. Cabaye was always going to be difficult to replace and maybe Mayer can grow into that role. I think with Tomkins we may have cut out both those goals. Luka and Townsend were woeful on both. I think with Tomkins (and AWB) we'd have snuffed those out. At the other end I hope Ayew is match fit as I think he will add a new dimension instead of hoisting it to Benteke and hoping he's remembered what he used to do 3 years ago....

He jumped towards Wilfs achilles and put downward pressure into the area, not scraping down, that is not a rake and he was trying to seriously injure him. I know what a rake is having played at a reasonable standard in the 70's and 80's. Edited by johnno42000 (26 Aug 2018 10.18pm)

Wonder what their opinion will be when Pererya is taken out There can be no retrospective action because the referee saw the incident and decided that a yellow would suffice.If he hadn't seen the incident then it's a different scenario.
