  • The best Watford podcast

    Football chat is measured and fair , the off field talk is fantastic and really sums up what watford fc means to us all . Some great interviews but my favourite was during lockdown when they did the imaginary run in with commentary for 90 plus mins , at the time where we were we were in a strict lockdown and that kept me going through those times

    Can’t thank them enough for that

    I’m a big fan of Watford FC and I appreciate the dedication and professional level of production and discussion of this wonderful club. HOWEVER there is one guy who is a miserable soggy whinger. Even after a victory he can’t suppress or even limit the amount he complains and moans. Great pod otherwise. Support your boys! Come on you ORNS!!
