    A teams own players can be in the box during a goal kick and the 'keeper can pass to them. The opposition can't enter the box until the ball is played.

    Bizarre. Gracia did a good job last season. They've chucked him because they're bottom after four games, but they've looked alright tbh. Their problem is that the defence is championship standard.

    Does a bad 4 game run mean an automatic sacking then?

    I thought for Watford having racked up 365 days as manager was enough.

    Well before Newcastle where we stole a draw, we actually lost 7 games in a row against premier league opposition. Since the fa cup semi final we only beat a terrible, relegated Huddersfield side.

    This season we have been pretty awful despite what Dino says. I've had the displeasure of watching every game. We had our moments in the games against West Ham and Everton but when you look like conceding every time the opposition is on attack and don't fix the same mistakes it is hard to say 'we've looked alright'

    The crux of the issue as it is with most sackings it the inability to change. Using the same players in the same formation and ignoring other players who have been screaming out for minutes. I've been frustrated with him since April but was on the fence about the sacking until the Newcastle game. We went up there and timewasted from the first minute. We left deulofeu, sarr and welbeck on the bench and gave 5 minutes in total to them despite them being fit enough to play in the week. It was a mess and a case of a manager who has completely lost his way and run out of ideas. Newcastle are terrible, they looked awful and were there for a straightforward 3 points. Only then was I confident he should leave.

    Granted our defence is championship standard at best. It has been neglected since the first season in the Prem and it is ridiculous how little we spend on it. Dawson is the latest penny pinching signing and has looked the championship level defender we signed.

    The same old 'watford sacking their managers regularly thing' is as tired as hell nowadays. Have a look how many managers we have had compared with other teams who are a similar level since returning to the premier league. We are not abnormal, teams like Palace and Southampton sack their managers with far more regularity. It's actually a decent yardstick for Watford fans, anyone that mentions that doesn't actually know anything about the club.

    Resigning QSF is lol though. Watford have always felt like they have a direction since the Pozzos took over. This appointment, I'm not so sure. He played terrible football last time but had far worse midfield and attacking options so we will see. He organizes a defence far better than Gracia ever will be able to but he is potentially more stubborn and certainly isn't as good with the players. Add to that he probably has a worse back 4 than last time he was here (which is unforgivable by the Watford heirarchy) and he may be in for a tough time. Our midfield would suggest we are 'too good to go down'. I'm not so sure, I hope QSF does a good job.

    After all of the wanking the media has been doing over Harry "Best penalty taker in the world" Kane over the last few days, that was the most predictable miss of all time.

    Maddison called up and doesn’t play a minute the lad is absolute quality.

    Maybe it signals true BIG TIME status as me and a lot of Leicester fans I know are more pleased with no minutes in the legs for one of our stars than being slighted that guys like Barkley and Mount get preferred over our boy.

    According to his social media, he is.

    Speaking of social media, honoured to have been invited to Igor’s Leaving do he set up on Facebook.

    Shearer was crocked for his testimonial, but he limped on and bobbled in an injury time penalty from what I recall.

    lol at 'Manchester City Legends'. It makes me think of this.

    They should stop doing testimonials. The players don't need the money anymore (I was under the impression that Matt Le Tissier ruined it for everyone giving his to charity, but apparently not [unless he had two?]), and charities probably only end up with about a fiver once all the costs are accounted for (and even then they could all just chuck money in and save regular saddos the expense).

    There should be some type of all-star game every year though. Or even better, Best of South America vs Best of Europe like they used to have back in pro evo 2

    The Pro Evo with Adriano on the cover had the best mode ever. You chose 4 teams and it would give you a random amalgamation of 25 players to build a team out of. If one of them brought that back I might buy it.

    A game for nothing in which nobody would want to play, it would be like every third place playoff ever.

    I think it's a bit Aston Villa/Sunderland, the core is so rotten that it doesn't matter who you put in the team or how they line up. They're beaten before they even come out.

    Olly McBurnie isn't some flash luxury player that doesn't like to graft and even he thinks it's beneath him. There's got to be something wrong at the FA level.
