Funniest thing I experienced at Wembley was walking back to the station after the play off and there was this copper who was about 6’8” and built like a brick s***house directing fans and saying Premier league this way, Championship this way. The Watford fans loved that, not, but funnily enough said nothing. I would have gladly paid that copper’s overtime that day myself.

Love that picture. Looks like Troy has just stuck his thump up the other guys @ss

I too particularly dislike them. Every time I see them on TV their fans always seem to be singing the exact same ones that we do. I know its common in football, but they do it more than everyone else. Their main home stand behind the goal comes across as very club sponsored and fake with all their matching flags. Similar to Leicester and their free clappers really.

The reality is that we are clubs of similar size but it feels like they are jealous of us (for some reason!) and are Palace wannabes. I think they were in awe of the Palace fans following the 2013 playoff final and it's stemmed from there.

Their stadium is alright, it has some character and I'd take it over a boring Southampton/Leicester boring bowl. It's about as good as ours, which is a sh1thole, but its our sh1thole and I wouldn't want it any other way.

Controversially, I actually quite like Troy Deeney. I find him refreshing as he tells it how it is. I find his interviews honest and entertaining (I am aware of his past). He's a decent, passionate striker too. The sort you'd love if he played for Palace.

I feel, personally the most rivalry to watford, out of any club. It's personal.. their captain has come out and said they took turns in kicking lumps out our star man? We witness them do it... the fans have an agenda with us, the mascot even gets involved - shows it's not just tabloid or pub talk - from the captain down through the stands to the mascot they have issue with us and i personally want us to dish it right back where it hurts.

Charlton, we'll never see the clowns again...
Wimbledon - they aren't the club we knew.
Brighton - no one really cares... they've gone on to bigger better things, so have we - the cup attendance said a lot - they were always jealous of us and now matched us and don't care.
who else... other london clubs?? hmmm...

so yeah, watford - wannabe london club that is punching above it's weight.

This was once a quality forum....

If Watford do what they do and if the referee has made himself aware of their nasty tactics in advance then there may well be a sending off this afternoon.
If he is weak or decides to turn a blind eye then Wilf himself may well be in trouble.
I just hope Roy and his team mates have told him to keep calm - it's going to be a rough afternoon.
A win today would see us in a good place at 5pm tonight and a loss for Watford would be a joyous occasion - I dislike them intensely!
Dear Referee - remember Souness's words after the game at their place when Wilf was taken out badly in full sight of the referee - "the referee either knows nothing about the game or he bottled it"!
You don't want that ringing endorsement this afternoon now do you!
