From The Rookery End - A show about Watford FC

Show Notes

Watford served up the full emotional buffet this week — from the genuine high of a feel-good win over Wrexham (and that moment), to the all-too-familiar frustration of a stop-start, slightly baffling 0-0 with Leicester.

Outside the Hornet Shop once again, Jon is joined by Jason, Mike and Kieran to try and make sense of it all — from players who look like they might just be “a thing”, to others who definitely aren’t (yet), and a referee who somehow managed to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

There’s also a bit of nostalgia thrown in, a nod to why we keep coming back even when the football tests our patience, and a reminder that sometimes it’s the unexpected moments — not the league table — that make it all worthwhile. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
