I worked with a big Watford fan in the late 80’s. His brother was in the same school year as George Michael in Bushey, Watford.
Watford were seen as a little team then, even though they were in the top flight.
He was humble and amazed that they were playing in the top division, they were like a Wigan Athletic of the day.

I even went to the odd away game to see Watford, saw them play at Port Vale in the FA Cup.
Standing with the Watford fans was a real culture shock.

They had quite a lot wearing scarves and colours, where as our lot in the late 80’s hardly wore colours at away games.
There was quite a few women and children, where as our our away crowds seemed to be 90% Male.
Also no swearing in the Watford end, where as our lot in the 80’s were a bit rough and angry swearing all the time.

The Watford chants used to be “come on you Golden Boys”
And whenever they had a corner they’d chant “oh it’s a corner..oh it’s a corner”

We used to sing that at corners! It then went to the Gu on then chant which died out to my dismay!
 
Banana skin for us if we don’t approach it with intensity
 
Bad time to play Watford.

I'd prefer it if they were midtable rather than rock bottom.
 
Unfortunately they'll turn us over because we can't finish off chances

Agree.....a reason for our success is that opposition fans have all underestimated us.....would imagine opposition players will also think we’ll be easier opposition.
This game is more important for Watford than it is us. If they lose they are in deep trouble and the relegation alarm bells will be well and truely ringing.

Suspect Watford players fans and players will treat this like a cup final. They won’t underestimate us and will be up for it.
Would take a draw if offered. Will be really surprised if we win.

I hope they treat it like the last Cup Final they played in.
 
I spoke to a Watford fan. He said

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine AM
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home

About parking etc also we exchanged our thoughts on our respective teams for this season.

He is no longer a season ticket holder (since he moved to Edgware, I think) but still goes to Vicarage Road occasionally and watches livestream matches. Confidence is low at Watford and my mate says he would be surprised if Watford win a game soon (their last win was April). He isn't happy with the constant change of managers. He doesn't think the current one should have come back to them as he believes in "never go back" because a "fresh face" would fire up the players more especially the ones that played under him. He said Craig Dawson is a poor signing and the defence is worse than last season's although he is glad that Cathcart has just returned. JanMaat is good at attacking but poor at defending (something for our left side to exploit!). He says Hoelbas is a poor left back. Capoue and Doucouré are good central midfielders and the recently returned Cleveley is reliable. Winger Sarr was bought for £23 and hasn't done much this season. Deulofeu and Pereyra can be either brilliant or terrible. Welbeck is trying to make an impression and my mate feels he will come good. He says Watford have been relying heavily on Deeney who wont be back till next month at the earliest.

I told him that our last away defeat is last January so I fear that this Saturday's match is our "banana skin"

All these managers eh? They need some continuity. They need to get ex-Hornet Kenny Jackett in charge. :D

Top, lesser-spotted version of this (need to ignore shit video though):

 
Keef Chedwyn said:
My strongest memory of Watford is from about 2005 when a kid sat a couple of rows in front of me did the worst wanker gesture I've ever seen, before or since.

It was a limp index finger and thumb effort with the other fingers splayed out like an OK gesture. Then it hardly moved at all. It was more a vibration than a stroke.

Really terrible. And he was sat with his dad.

This is excellent Keef.

We need more of this on the forum; the description, date entry, complete lack of acknowledgment of why you were all there - top draw.

For God's sake buck your ideas up everyone.
 
Memories of Watford, may 1st 71 Blades 3 - 0, signed Scullion off them in the summer, what a team that was. I tell you this team we have now is,nt too shabby either.
