DNSYE - AIDY BOOTHROYD SPECIAL PART 1
We are joined by former manager Aidy Boothroyd who was only the second manager to get us to the top flight! We hear about his initial football memories and him starting his coaching career following injury before Carl dials in from holiday to say hello and thank Aidy for his time!Once Carl leaves to top up his tan, Aidy goes through his memories of the make up of the Play Off core squad and the common threads be it development or first team football of helping players to achieve individual and collective goals. Innovation is a word that often comes up when talking to Aidy’s former players and we go through some “different” things that went on at the time from working in the shop, penalty shootout practice, board breaking and fire walking!! We discuss getting managers jobs and how Keith Burkinshaw came into the equation and why he was Aidy’s mentor even before the Watford job!! Part 2 out soon as we talk memories of the play off season, semi final and finals and much moreCOYH!!!Huge thanks to all our Patreons:Chris Giannone,RichWFC2,Steve Holliman,Paul Fiander Turner,Sean Gourley,Lee Anselmo,John Parslow,Mark von Herkomer,Neil Silverstein,Steve Brown,Dave Lavender,Kasey Brown,Nipper Harrison,Boyd Mayover,Colin Payne,Paul Riley,Gary Wood,Karl Campion,Kevin Kremen,The Big Le – Bofski,Greg Theaker,Malcolm Williams,Bryan Edwards,Peter Ryan,Luka,John Thekanady - Ambassador of Dubai!!Jack Foster,Jason Rose,Michael Abrahams,Ian Bacon,Ken Green,Nick Nieuwland,Colin SmithAnt!!!!!Wesley WheelerDave Mullins,James McNamara Jim Cuthbert& PDF Hosted on Acast.

We discuss the atmosphere situation at the Vic and wonder how to get the singing going and Pete comes up with having "an away end at home" - we didn't understand it either!

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Southampton (Away)
We chat to Fraser from Southampton FC News and discusses the Saints manager and whether he is fiddling about too much with the team. We talk about the Saints keeper who provided us a point earlier in the season and the south coast sides chances of making promotion automatically or via the play-offs.The prediction league race for the title reaches new giddy heights of disinterest as a man with dice and 1-1 move to the top of the table whilst Weedy Pidgeon Carlos is sickly again!!! The dog goes potty with VAR and music mixes and we hear about the Southampton Brick Works museum and Fraser advises us IF there is anything of more interest other than RihWFC2 coming back from his holiday. Pete and Justin squabble about Emmanuel Dennis this time.Usual piffle – different day! COYH!!!This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

TWITTER SPACE - PART 1 WATFORD 0 - 0 PRESTON NORTH END
After a more than disappointingly dull game versus Preston where neither side appeared to turn up we pour over the performance and the position the club currently sits in with no threat of promotion or relegation – plus we talk a lot about food – which says a lot about the lack of incident during the afternoon.Mike shares his thoughts on Rajovic and Wedding Food tasting, Justin joins to talk about a steward chasing a balloon, Uncle Ron comes on and debates with Peter what was worse home form – the current season or that 11 game losing streak in the Premier League! Ron asks - where is the club currently going.Wendover joins us to talk about takeaway curry, eggs and spinach before Alan’s thoughts are that Wendover bottled it – describing Greg’s Dhansak (the George Graham of curries) as the “Chris Wilder” option having promised something new and then gone for the tried and tested! Alan is also quite unsure as to how to take a compliment from Uncle Ron! COYH!!!!This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Ipswich Town (Away)
Justin and Pete chat with Dave from the "Blue Monday" podcast about Ipswich Towns last two seasons, a manager that will presumably poached at some point but doing just fine for the moment thank you! The squad still mainly intact from a promotion winning campaign from League 1 has been supplemented with a few January window loans giving the manager in game options and we discuss how this combination has helped see Town have a second straight campaign of success getting points and goals from substitutes (including some who Watford may or may not have been hoping to bring in) ! We take time to disparage Crystal Palace before looking at the domino effect of manager movement in the Premier League and asking why Sarmiento has Pete's Nan's hair!We introduce Dave to Prediction league where John includes a dump truck and farm theme and Jarvis wrangler finally makes an on screen appearance! Carl is off getting drunk at an award ceremony but makes time to give us his prediction (presumably towards the end of a victorious evening!).Finally Justin's somewhat disappointing local attraction segment shows signs of life including the Hilly Ridges of Suffolk, the collective noun for alpacas, Brown Bears, Justin's continued dislike of Ely City and all whilst Pete keeps banging on about a character from 1970's sit-com "Porridge"!!COYH!!!!This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.
