    THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Leeds United (Home)

    THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Leeds United (Home)

    Finally the end of the international break is in sight and we can get back to moaning about Championship football again! Hurrah!! Major Tom's first home game is against the League Leaders Leeds United. We chat to Darren from LS11 and hear about how their season has gone and which players we should look out for. We cover off their last few managers in 1 in 10 and move on to the prediction league with Carlos looking like he might run away with things - however like Leeds - nothing can be taken for granted!!
    COYH!!!!

    DNSYE - MORE BORED OF THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK NONSENSE

    DNSYE - MORE BORED OF THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK NONSENSE

    As an alternative to international football or watching paint dry your hosts chat on many things with little or no knowledge of any of the subjects. The latest share ownership news is as insightful as Justin's story of Monkey World, Forest, Gardens or Wooded glades! We chat about the revelations in the "Wobbly Obs" from William Troost-Ekong (who we still think shouldn't have ducked!!), Pete and Justin squabble over Boothroyd (yet) again as Justin suggests he might be our second greatest manager ever! We advance to the second stage of the Subbuteo competition and Carl throws his toys so far out of the pram that they resemble a shot by Andre Gray.....speaking of which! Finally we get onto the touchy subject of redesigning and decolourizing dealing with the England shirt and Coldplay in one (rather sweary) fell swoop!!.
    Other subjects include 12th century Genoa and what Stafford Phil is called when he's in Stafford and the two laws in Pete's house!

    DNSYE - MAPS & LLOYDINHO SPECIAL PART TWO

    DNSYE - MAPS & LLOYDINHO SPECIAL PART TWO

    Part Two sees us examining Maps and Lloydinho goals before finding out about both players representing Jamaica and the issues with altitude, rivalries, odd refereeing and heat playing against some big footballing names in the CONCACAF area.
    The lads choose their best 5-a-side from their playing colleagues – neither choose many defenders and the Maps makes a late sub!!!
    Pete thinks that a time to pilot a feature is when we have two legends in attendance by trying to recreate “Player In Focus” questions from Shoot magazine (presumably available in the 1970’s!). We cover cars, player favourites and “Come Dine with me” guests!
    Needless to say. we meander all over the place along the way.
    Massive thanks to Adrian and Lloyd who were great fun in the face of the almost overwhelming level of stupidity of the questions and the fact that one of the hosts again had previously stalked one of our guests (fortunately no Aston Villa toilets were involved this time).

    DNSYE - MAPS & LLOYDINHO SPECIAL PART ONE

    DNSYE - MAPS & LLOYDINHO SPECIAL PART ONE

    We chat with Adrian Mariappa and Lloyd Doyley about how they started their careers at Watford “Centres of Excellence” that turned to Academy set ups during their formative football years. Tales of determination, setbacks and fighting back to keep progressing both their individual games as well as their journey to first team football are lessons that todays aspiring footballer could do well to listen to.
    The importance of seeing the pathway to the first team & how reserve team football was the perfect stepping stone to, eventually first team football. We find out which players was “dropped” for Lloyd’s debut!
    We go through the “1 in 10” of Assistant Managers at Watford and we get to find out with former Assistant Manager might be considered “harsh” – its probably not who you think. We get to understand a little bit more about the position that supports the team as well as the manager. 
    PART TWO OUT SOON

    DNSYE - ANOTHER RANDOM STREAM OF NONSENSE 2 OR MAYBE 3 (we've lost count!)

    DNSYE - ANOTHER RANDOM STREAM OF NONSENSE 2 OR MAYBE 3 (we've lost count!)

    After the Opposition View we just kept chatting about things and went from one subject to another. Carl has a fractured skull and has recently been in a coma but Justin and Pete have no such excuse! Questions from X or Twitter were discussed, the social media turmoil of the last few weeks came up and Pete went off on one again, Protest scarves, Indian, Mangalese and Persian food preferences, what is the vegetable that goes into Mogo, pool diving and the Premier League finance deals came up plus would GT survive the Pozzo era.
    We then get on to Clevs being in the hot seat, his support team and various other nonsense before we come to a new competition lined to Subbuteo - keep your eyes peeled!!!

Jon Haverwood ,

Great podcast

Great guys, not afraid to say it how it is. Excellent content and some added nonsense chucked in for good measure!

OakleyPokley ,

Addictive Listening

A sublime mix of analysis, insight, banter, madness, humility and exasperation.

Woody_TW1 ,

Chaotically Brilliant

Without doubt, the best Watford podcast out there. Often talk about a “variety” of subjects (food features quite highly) but utter brilliant whatever the subject matter.
