Post match interview with Potter.

Recognised that Watford would pin us back, recognised we need to counter. Slap bang 2 pacy players and the job’s a good’un!

Nice one. [emoji106]

Not really much point signing them if not going to use them

too soon

Excellent thanks.

Montaya is pure class, he proved it back in Barcelona and I'm happy he now finally gets to play in a team with similar playstyle. I think he could be player of the year.

Cheers, goosebumps on the Maupay goal.

The background roar of the Albion fans makes it even more special.

Just about to post that until i saw you had.......could play that third goal over and over ...get in

Reminds me of the ultimate Cantor commentary .... Dunk’s winner at Craven Cottage.



Will love that forever.

TSB bellend status grows, if that was even possible.

I'm saying nothing.

Only just occured to me that Ali J didn't even make the squad today.

Not worried as he obviously wasn't needed but it doesn't say much about his chances with us this season not to have even made the 18. I know it's only 1 game and he may well get his chance but if he doesn't get much game time by January I wonder if the club will try to move him on.

Just shows our relative strength now that even though he had a poor season last year, a £14m player for us can't make the match day squad.

Transfer window in Europe is still open, no point risking a saleable asset.

I'm curious, are you just hanging about on here waiting for if/when something goes badly wrong so you can pass judgement on sacking the man you love so much?

90% of albion fans are not disrespecting CH, in fact we also love him for what he has done for us.

There is no need to continue to bleat on about how bad you think Watford were, most of us know it.

Having said that we are adapting extremely well to a new system and took them to task.

Very good caller on 606 made the same points.

Incidentally, after that the programme degenerated. Sutton is an ignorant sneery bully. He launched the season by moaning about the Murray pentalty disgrace, only for a former ref to tell him it wasn't a pen. Talk about stirring imaginary shit. My recollection of his taxi disgrace and snivelling accompaniment still brings a smile to my face. I actually switchd 606 off after he and his pygmy pony side kick degenerated the thing into personal banter. FFS BBC get rid!

And he is too small a cock to warrant a special new thread about him.

Just saw this from yesterday on Watford's forum. Made me chuckle.

Good, clinical win. Maupay took his goal extremely well.
Got away with the handball.
Watford comically bad.
Swallow. Summer. etc

What's your real account? Nobody can be such a **** after that performance and mean it

There's me thinking we were very good today, shows how little I know.

 

[The Rivet]

Cantor’s commentary today for goals 2 and 3 gets better and better each time you listen, allied to the huge roar (twice) of the Albion ‘legions’ there.

Where do I find this?

Never mind....found it.

Key match stats (other than the obvious) last year's fixture vs today:

2018 today
Possession W53% B47% W47% B53%
shots on target W5 B0 W3 B3
shots W19 B6 W11 B5
passes W437 B385 W415 B442
corners W8 B2 W5 B2

Key is shots on target. Woeful display last year, like so many away games. This season matched SOTs, and converted.

I don’t think they can avoid it. I’m Diying, had various feeds on, HT round up on Talkshite, and everyone waxing lyrical about us. Would be shocked if we weren’t heavily featured given even our most optimistic fans wouldn’t have expected that.

Talkshite have us down for relegation........muppets

West Ham did, 0 - 3 to Brighton

Lovely to destroy over-inflated egos.
