Show Notes
Swansea away. On a Tuesday night. Obviously. We preview another delightful dash down the M4 by speaking to Luke from Swans Cast, who appears worryingly optimistic about Swansea’s summer recruitment, their new signings and Alan Matos’ developing side. Meanwhile, we successfully establish that the transfer window definitely closes at some point. Probably.
Both sides seemingly want to press, counter quickly and preferably let the opposition have the ball, potentially creating 90 minutes of “No, after you.” We also briefly revisit the Peterborough cup debacle, question Watford’s squad depth and wonder whether Alessio Dionisi might eventually receive the centre-backs he keeps asking for. Radical recruitment strategy, admittedly.
Finally, it’s the DNSYE Completely Rubbish Prediction League, featuring predictions based on actual football knowledge, optimism and — in Backgammon FC’s case — a water bottle and a three-pin plug. Luke fancies Swansea, Justin devises a cunning plan, and absolutely nobody should consider any of this remotely useful betting advice or advice in general - especially if you are wondering what to do with a water bottle and a 3 pin plug!!

Well, it had been a quiet week at Watford Football Club. Apart from two spectacular collapses, an intervention from Sir Elton John, an increasingly heated debate amongst supporters and Gino Pozzo deciding to have a chat with Roy Moore. Justin, Carl and Peter finally get together to make sense of it all, which may be asking rather a lot of three people who occasionally struggle to agree on what day it is. Still, with so much happening off the pitch, there's certainly no shortage of things to discuss oh ....and we beat Charlton.
It's Wolves away, and we're joined by Connor of the Molineux View, who appears to have commandeered Molineux itself, switched on the floodlights and settled in for a chat. We revisit that extraordinary FA Cup semi-final, compare the rather familiar frustrations of two clubs whose owners seem particularly fond of selling their best players, and discover how Wolves are finding life back in the Championship. Misery, it seems, enjoys company.
Well, that wasn't quite what we were expecting! After two thoroughly miserable defeats, Watford somehow rediscovered the concept of playing football and dispatched Nathan Jones's Charlton Athletic 2-0. The threatened protests failed to materialise, but the players certainly turned up, with a change of formation, some previously much-maligned performers earning deserved praise and the rather unfamiliar experience of enjoying a Saturday afternoon at Vicarage Road.

Hear Carlos do a passable impression of Justin by thoroughly depressing friend of the podcast and all round good egg, Andy Collins about ongoing events!!!
