Homepage Article Wat’s A Rival?

[Moomin]

They might ‘think’ they’re our rivals, but let’s have it right;

We may not have won anything for 24 years, but Watford have spent 18 (EIGHTEEN) of those years in either the Championship or lower.

Rivalry?

Liverpool fans could say the same about us.

Liverpool fans could say the same about us.

And for once, I would agree. We haven't laid a glove on them in almost a decade, that has to change if we want to be taken even half seriously.

This nothing club is desperate to start up somekind of 'rivalry' with us. Anyone else on here see that gang of beauts walking up Spellow Lane before the game singing 'we're going to have a party when Marco Silva dies'? Christ, back in the feisty 80s you'd have been launched for singing something like that on our patch.

Watford using us to try and become relevant,
The RS is a local rivalry, the last out of town rivalry we had was city for obvious reasons

 

[Wat Tyler]

I’m not a rival, more of a chilled out entertainer really.

One amongst a series of 72.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Not Watford or West Ham, hate when our fans became embroiled in petty scabbles with them on Twitter.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

A rival - its the opposite gate to departures...

Well that 0 0 at Goodison was nice, in hindsight.

But wtf is this thread about? A rivalry with Watford? Holy smoke.

A good read that highlights the gap between us and the "top 6" and how the only way we can bridge it is through European football.

 

[Walken]

Sounds like an abbott and costello joke

 

[Death]

We certainly gave them Wat for(d).

Great post and thread.

I was going to bring up this very topic last Friday when the BBC trailed the upcoming fixture.

Trust that 'kin rat McNulty to write the piece for the BBC.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER are Everton to be confused as "rivals" with no mark clubs like Watford.

That is just a piss take of epic proportions.
