Posted on Friday, 27th January 2012 by Harry Hotspur
Good morning and welcome. And I’d like to extend my very best wishes to those now consoling the call centre staff at Virgin Media who this morning discovered that having Malcolm Tucker screaming at them would be like listening to the soothing song of a contented angel compared to me asking when they are fixing my broadband.
The Watford are giving it what for on the old terrace chants front. My favourite by a country mile has to be, ‘One man & his dog went to Monaco’. Other winners include:
“Paid all your taxes. You should have paid all your taxes” – “Whats that coming over the hill, is it the taxman? Is it the taxman?” - “One man and his dog went to Monaco…” – “Arry give us a bung, ‘Arry ‘Arry give us a bung.”
I like the FA Cup and more precisely I like to see us in the FA Cup. Being a fully paid up member of the Stuck Record Society I submit to the house that we should play a side worth paying good money to see and go out to beat the other lot.
Prediction? 0-1.
This video is for the Holocaust Memorial Day. If you have a minute, you might give it a click. I thought it was quite good.

Arry told me last night that he is looking to BUNG Freiedl in goals, with Dawson and Kaboul in the centre which he feels will help us to AVOID conceeding, but saying that it all really depends on who writes out the teamsheet, so it’s anyones guess…..

Has anyone on here asked for Arry’s autograph? What happened – did he scribble his name in child like form, draw a stick man, or did he write a dyslexia induced RRyha PknapDre? Or did he just point you at his accountant…” ask him he wipes my Arsenal for me”.
If he can’t write a team sheet how does he pick the team fer chrissakes… do they all stand in front of him shouting “pick me, pick me, sir”. Ip dip birds shit out goes tom tit (well that’s the ditty we used round my way)

Maybe it’s just me, but opening a bank account in a foreign country, and then not telling the very person you supposedly rely so heavily on for all your other financial activites seems rather an odd thing to do.
Then again, I’m sure we’ve all opened and forgotten about a bank account or two after one too many sangrias.

Bit surprised at the lack of width in that eleven.
Not surprised we are putting out a strong side as with Man City already out and Liverpool or Man U to get knocked out in this round, we have a decent chance, especailly if we get some kind home draws.
[Reply]
January 27th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
Wrong team. No need to play Modric and Kaboul. It’s criminal (geddit?) to play VDV and Parker (both could do with a rest, especially with Wigan and LIverpool coming up soon). Bassong, Krankie, Pienaar, and Pav need games or we’ll be saying they look rusty when they have to step in for a big game.
It’s only Watford, ferchrissakes.

I agree. Both Modric and Parker looked gassed in the second half against City. After that run of 6 matches in 3 weeks, ‘arry should be looking to rest more players or we are going to have a lot of dead players later on this season.
Although, maybe he is thinking that with Thudd and Sandro back in 2-3 weeks he will get a great chance to rest our mids then?
