Watford played Boreham Wood, Barnet, Hansa from the German third tier, and Fiorentina. That would appear weaker than our pre season. I think people are reading too much into a couple of individual errors. We had enough chances to win on Sunday.

Anyone questioning Dobbin after so few minutes, I would suggest going and looking at, say, page 8 of the Azaz thread.

Two minutes and fifteen seconds of ads at the beginning, with the intro/patreon shout outs it didn't get started until five minutes in. This was on Spotify premium if that makes any difference.

Felt like an awful lot of adverts today?

Sell ons are normally a percentage of profit, so if we sell for less than we paid I don't think we'd owe city anything. I still can't see why we'd sell him for less than £25m though

From what I've read, the basic rule is that the name and number need to be easily readable. If you have stripes, you either need a plain back or you stick a square on the back. The exception to this is if the two colours of your stripes are similar in the colour spectrum, and they have ways of measuring this. I think this is why Bournemouth wouldn't need a plain back, as the contrast between a dark red and black isn't too bad. Blue and black stripes would be the same. Some clubs get round this by having a different kit for the players and supporters, but I suspect this gets quite complicated as a lot of fans want names and numbers on their shirts

We mainly play 4-2-3-1, so we've already got 4 players attacking. Anything we get from the 2 holding midfielders is a nice bonus. Jander did get a couple of goals last season, and as others have said he contributed a lot by winning the ball and triggering attacks. His tackling ability is fantastic.

Good idea, I'd accept that

Uefa have announced that they will boycott all FIFA competitions unless this idea is abandoned

At least Eddie Howe is available now in case we need a replacement.

Yes there is, which is equally stupid. If we can't have refs from countries we've had wars with, there's not many options left 😂

Quansah given a 2 match ban for his red card, would also miss the semi final. It's almost like FIFA want Argentina to go through. Also just saw an interesting story on the athletic, that Michael Oliver isn't allowed to referee Argentina games because of the Falklands war, which was before he was even born....

The stripes are a nod to shipping containers according to the club. What a load of bollocks....

The teaser doesn't really seem to fit with the fairly standard shirt in the leaked image. They seem to be leaning heavily into the heritage angle here.

Or apparently you can go in as late as possible, play the game before your body realises it's at altitude (24-48 hours) and then leave again straight after the match according to something I was reading.
