DO NOT SCRATCH YOUR EYES - BANNERS, BIN/KEEP, ALPHABET F##K!

Here is the Opposition View with Blackpool – well sort of…. Pete asked for the tale of the Oyston family ownership and what followed was, depending on your position, a cautionary tale about ensuring club ownership is not allowed to operate unchecked or the biggest "be careful what you wish for" - or very possibly both. There's also a succession of nonsense per normal including what Bloomfield Road and IKEA have in common! Plus, we find out what Pete would bring to the midfield in the event of having to play and Carl tells us a lot about concrete DNSYE is part of the TalkSPORT fan network.

On the eve of the 6th anniversary of his passing we wanted to put together just some of the memories of Graham that were told to us during player interviews (there are an awful lot more scattered over the interviews we've done) where players remember things about the great man from first impressions through to why it was so important that he was nice to Alan Smart (on a completely human level who was fretting) over his possible transfer to the Hornets. Some people won't remember but in one of his programme notes he responded to a fan who had shouted out "Sort it out Taylor!" (or words to that effect) - his notes were that he had been at the club for a while and that surely we should all be on first name terms - so here are some memories of Graham. Best wishes to his family - always. COYH! DNSYE is part of the TalkSPORT fan network. This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

With the squad decimated with injuries an incredibly young squad travelled down the M4 to take on the Royals. A goal at the end of each half settled it leaving questions about Okoye in goal but few questioned the young players effort or determination. Also on show was another youngster making his debut in Ishmael Kone transferred in from Canada and once again the reviews are mainly positive in reference to him. Also discussed was an interview with Ben Manga which appeared in Kicker Magazine and this might prove far more important moving than exiting this seasons FA Cup. Some normal nonsense ensued as Twitter crashed midway through, Justin kept asking about the food kiosks, Pete was very pleased with his IKEA joke and Carl was determined to let everyone know that after last weeks "Wedging" incident - that he had got free of this weeks car park!

Carl, Justin and Peter get together to discuss the transfer window in light of the injury crisis which sees the Hornets with a pretty strong squad residing in the physio room currently. Going through some of the rumours and some players on a Championship wish list at no point do they allow their lack of knowledge get in the way of their opinions! They cast their eyes to the FA Cup this weekend which sees the men travel to Reading on Saturday and the Women at Crystal Palace on Sunday and we ask has the sparkle gone off the FA Cup?

All the fan reaction to everything that the Millwall and Swansea performances were not, without a recognised first team midfielder in the squad the much maligned Gaspar and Bacuna worked really hard in the centre and Gaspar especially was a revelation. 3 at the back worked much better and a breakaway goal caps off a truly professional, hard working away performance and takes 3 points. However the injuries keep racking up and discuss the recurrent hamstring injuries, the other injuries and the suspensions and we all know we cant get carried away but most of all we focus on the warm glow of seeing a Watford side go out and put in a shift, show some character and we say well done to Slaven, the team and the away support that started 2023 in magnificent form! Well done all. COYH! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT Hosted on Acast.

PART TWO of the bumper Post Match Phone In on Twitter Spaces - The Andrew French section is available as a separate pod as it failed to record - however here we see more fans reactions questioning the ownership and the players but also questioning the management/coaching as the team seem to offer no visible pattern of play. Sorry it took a couple of days to get up online for you all. Thank you so much for all the support through 2022 This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

After the 4-0 defeat to Swansea, Andrew French rang us on the Post Match Phone on Twitter Spaces. He had been to the press conference, was staying in a Swansea hotel overnight and wanted to share and emote with other Watford fans. Unfortunately Twitter Spaces made it very difficult for some people to hear him and even the recording did nt work - so we did the next best thing - we called him this morning as he was heading back up the M4 and got his take on things after the game and as we approach 2023. Andrew has been outstanding since returning to the Watford Observer and has returned the local paper to the must read category.
