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.

Ahead of Saturday's game against the Black Cats at Vicarage Road we speak to Ant from the Roker Report and compare injury crises! Carl is having to take a bit of time away, so Peter has to actually put a prediction forward whilst pretending to be Carl and does so upsetting Justin at the first opportunity. We discuss football documentaries and why they shouldn't be made about your football team unless Peter Reid is in it and swears a lot! We also discuss a bargain basement discovery from Watford who became a legend at Sunderland who may or may not have had a hair transplant! COYH! Learn more about your ad choices.

All the reaction after an abject display at Ewood Park against a far more economically produced Blackburn side. Lots of understandable disappointment but we debate where the responsibility lies between the boardroom and dugout after 1 win in the last 7 games and lack of cohesion so far this season. No one has covered themselves in glory this evening other than those fans who travelled wanting something to support. Some words were exchanged after the game, but we ask what it will take to support our young manager from the hierarchy and from the stands when we face Sunderland on Saturday - there must be a reaction, surely and Keinan Davis improved fitness might play a large part in it. Injuries to Kamara, Hause and this evening, Sarr and Ngakia will need to heal fast. Fingers crossed! COYH! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

After the sad postponement at the weekend action returns to the championship and we catch up with Ian from the BRFCS Podcast and find out amongst other things why Rovers closed season felt like the Tory party, why Sunderland for them is now a warm or a grudge fixture, we discover that Carl has purchased a new green unlucky shirt and Justin feels confident and so wanted to update his prediction from a draw to another draw! Normal nonsense but all good fun. COYH! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
