Big Night Out special guest chat - Matthew Stirling

Justin and Pete talk to David from Stoke City Podcast "Wizards of Drivel" where we compare amongst other things, who has signed the best son of a famous player, how and who to play out of position when you have no wing backs and, very pleasingly, we compare which club is the most cursed! Plus, all the usual nonsense, Justin being grumpy that he has to predict last and never gets to select 1-1 and Peter recalling the Watford career of Jack Bonham!

So, with Justin off on his holidays, Carl and Pete call in the podcasts own "Red Adair" in BBC 3CR Radio Host, entertainer and all-round good guy Andy Collins to pick over the pieces of Rob Edwards firing. We try to understand the politics of the WFC boardroom, who supported Rob and who didn't, if there is a boardroom split, why we have so many left footed players, we ask again about the culture in the dressing room, we look ahead to Belgian court proceedings and ask just who is Mr G and where are the bodies actually buried?

Fresh from putting on the "100 Years at the Vic" exhibition an intimidating tag team of Neil Dunham and Sarah Priestley take on Carl! Does Carl have a chance, how much power does the fateful question set B really hold and does anyone really care!?! Surely a Watford memorabilia collector and co-creator of "Watford Gold" alongside Watford Museum curator will make mincemeat of Carl! Carl once again refuses to understand the term "multiple choice", Sarah and Neil disagree and one of them disappears for a while but returns with a potential prize, Justin loses track of how quiz scoring works (again!!), we find out why Shrewsbury owe us a trophy and we ask the question who John Stirk is?

We don't like international breaks - we get bored and start doing silly things - thus season 2 of "The World vs Carl" is back to be concluded during the World Cup!!! The quiz that absolutely no one wanted to continue - continues, and we start with Watford Observer legendary reporter Andrew French!!! Subjects include Mickey Quinn, Gary Penrice and a generally begrudging level of involvement from Carl who despite having had a full preseason appears to not have signed the necessary Right Wing Back of Watford based trivia knowledge required to be a success at this nonsense! Also, Justin gets confused as its past his bedtime and no can remember the Full Members Cup? COYH! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

At the end a 2-2 draw against the Black Cats from the Northeast. However conceding a late equalizer feels as bad as the early goals we have been conceding and patience with the ownership is running thin as Watford fail to take advantage of a game that felt like it should have been there for the taking. Keinan Davis is the high point scoring his first for the club, but his removal with 10 minutes to play surrendered the initiative to the Mackem's who without the occupying forward stormed through a static Watford midfield time and time again and but for the linesmans flag could have been taking three points back up North. A dark hallmark of Rob Edwards management so far has been a lack of coherent in game management and whilst his squad is ill balanced some are asking after 10 league games - should we be scrutinizing Rob's decisions. The consensus is yes we should but that doesn't mean we don't want him to stay, improve and succeed. Thank you all so much to everyone for your reactions to Carl's sad news it is hugely appreciated and says more about being a club than anything. COYH! Learn more about your ad choices.
