Do Not Scratch Your Eyes - Benjamin Bloom Special - S2 Ep23

PART ONE of the fan reaction following a second consecutive defeat under Slaven Bilic who is realising the poison chalice he has been handed. The verdict for many is in that the time to make voices heard beyond the online environment and inside or outside the stadium in terms of the treatment of the managerial model overall, the transfer situation over several windows, the Technical Director and "Super-Agent positions, the level of debt leveraged on the club, in part to the owner and of course the seemingly knee jerk reaction to jettison the previously stated level of support for Rob Edwards by clearly not supporting him with the squad and not providing anything like the level of time required to change the toxic culture that clearly exists at the club - plus it would be nice if ALL the players even pretended to care! PART TWO out Sunday 9th October by noon COYH Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here's the preview of the Blackpool game where Pete momentarily thinks the opposition forecast is a solid locked down affair - but Justin bursts that bubble!! Carl is stuck on the underground so everything is even more dishevelled than normal (it really is!). Pete and Justin try to remember who we're playing and agree that some managers definitely begin with "C"!!! Always we discuss what was possibly the most mulleted forward line the club have ever had.

What a strange night!! After the euphoria of Sunday away at Stoke, the Swans under Russell Martin present a very different challenge. Superbly skippered by Matt Grimes who was previously linked with us a couple of seasons ago (in fairness who HASN'T been linked with us at some stage) the Swans were everything that we weren't in the second half - imaginative, hardworking but also quick and simple and free of the stress and anxiety that seemed to the plague the Hornets. Bilic now knows the task at hand and we discuss this and more besides - a number of first time callers 2 Paul's, Dan and Duncan make great points with three talking one after another about the importance of culture, direction and what the club means to each of us. A huge thank you to all the listeners and of course the lurkers!!! Blackpool next! COYH! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

Carl is in a car park, Justin is in the Canaries and Peter is in a flap. The lads try to podcast and video record at the same time, but Pete staunchly refuses to be able to multitask. Add to this Swansea are a no-show but instead we have another "Potted Unofficial History" of our opponents to endure!! Carl tells us about Stoke, bed sheets and the long road to the potteries. Justin, sun tanned and wearing his third shirt resembles a badger but thinks he'll be able to make it to the game because he's got all excited after the last game!!! COYH!!!

So in Slaven Bilic's (soon to be known as Slavic according to Ellie) first game in charge we discuss a 4-0 away win at the potteries and all are quite stunned at how well, especially in the second half, we play. Some think Gaspar wasn't great in the first half, some say he was, but all agree that by the final whistle - it didn't really matter. The departure of Rob Edwards and the ownership issue is very raw with people and we will see if it remains so moving forward if Slaven's team can take this one game, and turn it into momentum for the season.

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?
