Show Notes
West Brom away, so we welcome back Kev — a man dragged into the DNSYE universe years ago when another guest failed to turn up and an innocent phone call suddenly required him to predict Leeds v Watford. He inexplicably continues answering our calls. We discuss James Morrison, renewed Baggies optimism and the revolutionary concept of signing players from Britain.
West Brom have refreshed their squad and, more importantly, assembled an outstanding collection of names, with Jimmy-Jay Morgan already making a compelling bid for DNSYE’s Silliest Named Signing award. We discuss the new-look Baggies, Black Country rivalries and eventually wander into whether modern football is slowly replacing its traditional crowd with a rather better-behaved audience. It gets sweary.
Finally, the Completely Rubbish Prediction League returns as Kev confidently backs West Brom, Justin wins a coin toss yet somehow still avoids making a decision, and Backgammon FC is officially renamed The Gods of Backgammon after Brett abandons dice for double basses, three-pin plugs and random strangers. Football analysis this is not. Consumer advice remains equally unlikely.
COYH!!

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!!!
