Not a good look for INEOS at Man United, keeping Erik ten Hag on only to sack him, pursuing Dan Ashworth for longer than he was at the club, hiring Ruben Amorim despite Jason Wilcox’s reluctance and then firing him for… lashing out against hierarchy.

🚨 NEW POD OUT NOW! 🚨 Matt, Jordan & @tombodell.bsky.social discuss the end to that 280-day wait for an away win ⤵️ 👑 King Kayembe 🤕 KB KO 🧤 Baxter herds flock 🔂 More changes 🐶 LK9 ➕ Much more #WatfordFC pod.fo/e/359241

Briefly back on Bkuesky to ask for insight into travelling to the east coast of #Canada. Heading to #Montréal in October for a fortnight with no firm plans thereafter. What should I do? What should I avoid?

@bidetofevil.wtf Hello mate, can I pick your brain on Canada once more? We fly into Montréal next month and were weighing up some combo of there, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia + PEI. Wisdom welcomed!

Weirdly more optimistic since Paulo Pezzolano was appointed than I was a week ago. Getting the head coach in is half the battle: now we need to see requisite backing in the transfer market. #WatfordFC

🚨 NEW POD OUT NOW! 🚨 Matt, Jordan & @tombodell.bsky.social discuss WBA… and some other bits 👇 🔁 Similar issues 😮 Ngakia attacking! 😭 Standard Sissoko 🧤 Super Selvik 🍛 Tom’s dinner plans pod.fo/e/2c846e #WatfordFC

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗣𝗢𝗗 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗪 🚨 Matt, Jordan and @tombodell.bsky.social discuss getting schooled at Oxford 👇 🐦‍⬛ Strikerless selection 🤷 TC’s dilemma 😤 A woeful display 🟥 Abankwah sees red 🔁 Subs take forever pod.fo/e/2ba958

🚨 NEW POD OUT NOW! 🚨 Jordan & @tombodell.bsky.social attempt to pick apart defeat against Millwall ⤵️ 🤯 Second-half capitulation 😠 Tom Dele drops a stinker 🤦 James Abank-woe 🇲🇦 Dependence on Louza 🤕 How big a loss is Doumbia? ✍️ Cleverley's secret contract ❓ Your questions pod.fo/e/2b70a6

Can’t get over how much Ivan Jurić looks like a budget Robert De Niro.

Crystal Palace really reaping the rewards of sticking with Oliver Glasner after a slow start to the season. So many exciting attackers, getting numbers from Jean-Philippe Mateta few would have expected and recruitment regularly seems to hit.

Imrân Louza captained #WatfordFC to victory over Luton on Sunday. A sentence that would have seemed ludicrous last summer 🤯 Some thoughts on his remarkable redemption arc. Your views always welcome! bit.ly/4bhiqWg

Finally catching up on #MOTD. Nothing underlines where #MUFC are at the moment like Manuel Ugarte giving it the big one after levelling at Everton with 10 mins to go after playing awfully. A Sir Alex Ferguson side would have grabbed that ball out the net and tried to find a winner. Mediocrity.

Needless to say, we rather enjoyed this one. Props to Tom Cleverley for making some bold calls… and getting them absolutely right! 👏

Fascinated to see what Tom Cleverley does this weekend. I think only Selvik, Abankwah, Dele-Bashiru, Louza & Chakvetadze are guaranteed starts. Does he bring Pollock & Bayo back in? Does Larouci keep his place after impressing at Boro, or does he go with solidity of Ngakia? #WatfordFC

Almost seems wrong there are - checks notes - six further games at Goodison Park after that.

Nice to talk about some positives for once. #WatfordFC seem to be better vs the better teams - some notable exceptions aside!

Lots of positivities to discuss from a dramatic afternoon on Wearside 🎙️ Got something to add? Let us know 🤝

If Rocco Vata isn’t fit for #WatfordFC today, I want Mamadou Doumbia to start. Tom Cleverley says it was his choice to run with two strikers for 16 games so let’s see what we’ve actually got in Doumbia 🔎

It’s never dull at #WatfordFC and Scott Duxbury ensured that this week. My thoughts on *that* interview 👇 bit.ly/4guDTvR

Our man @tombodell.bsky.social was invited onto the @sunderlandechosafc.bsky.social's The Roar Podcast to discuss Saturday's game 👇 pod.fo/e/2a9200 #WatfordFC

A disastrous January that has somehow left #WatfordFC weaker than when it opened is finally over. Thoughts below 👇 bit.ly/4gy1f3z

🚨 NEW POD OUT NOW! 🚨 Matt, Jordan & @tombodell.bsky.social tried to tempt fate by recording while the window was open. It didn’t work… ✍️ Window wrap 🧤 Egil Selvik 🇺🇸 Caleb Wiley 💙 Travis Akomeah 👋 Ryan Porteous 🇹🇷 Festy Ebosele 👑 Ken Sema 💛 Norwich #WatfordFC pod.fo/e/2a81b9

While undoubtedly true, we’ll hopefully lose some big names through the playoffs. Great to see Villa, Lille and Leverkusen progress automatically - albeit they could have in the old format, too.

I’ll say this here because Blue Sky is a much more balanced and less reactive place: Has anyone ever thought that the reason we’ve not seen mass anti-Pozzo protest at Vicarage Road is because the majority of #WatfordFC fans are OK with where we’re at? Social media is only a % of the fanbase, guys.

A truly insane few days in #WatfordFC world - but was it enough to change anything? Are we at the point of proper mass protest? My thoughts...

A lot to unpack this week and that was before getting to Coventry! Cleverley sent to Coventry but he came back - thankfully. We tried to unpick a very nuanced, difficult subject and not everyone will agree with our assessment. Keen to hear yours, #WatfordFC fans!

One has to wonder if Pep has a Simpsons-style wardrobe full of that weird chunky knit down puffer hoodie. It comes out every winter. #MOTD

It was always going to end in tears between Tom Cleverley and #WatfordFC. Gino Pozzo has done stupid things before and he will do stupid things again before we’re finally rid of him. The wholly unconvincing ‘statement’ - it was a tweet - backing TC does what it says on the tin. He gets Saturday.

🚨 Post-PNE pod out now! 🚨 Definitely NOT an EMERGENCY pod but one we wanted to do regardless @tombodell.bsky.social & Jordan discuss: 🇪🇸 Pacheta 😦 Tom Cleverley ⚪️ Pitiful PNE display 🧤 Jonathan Bond 🚑 Injuries ✍️ Incomings?! 👋 Tikvić tribute #WatfordFC pod.fo/e/2a2ce7

So we’ve got Paris Fashion Week vs Oasis in the #UCL. Can they both go out? They can?!

Last night was more the just a third straight home defeat for #WatfordFC. The season is on a knife edge - what does Pozzo want us to be? bit.ly/42nquCw

West Ham offering £57m for Jhon Durán after SEVEN Premier League starts is as insane as it is desperate.

Watched #WatfordFC v Derby back in preparation for the pod yesterday. A few thoughts (days after everyone else): 1. Mattie Pollock was the bollocks: the bloke is a proper old-school CB. Afraid of nothing, wins everything, and his shirt by HT showed it - covered in mud. A few iffy weeks, vanquished.

Loads to cram into this one given some brilliant displays at Pride Park, lots of rumours, scooped on Ken Sema + your questions! #WatfordFC

Penny for Ivan Jurić’s thoughts? He was Roma manager - albeit in a time of crisis - earlier in the season. He’s going to end it on the dole or relegated with one of the worst Premier League teams ever. All while looking like a budget Robert De Niro.

Do all Premier League managers shop at the same place? These jackets with the little sun logo on the sleeve are everywhere!

Liam Delap is going to cost so much money this summer.

Everton spending £17m on Jake O’Brien - in their financial/PSR position - to only give him his first Premier League start after Sean Dyche was sacked is wild.

Leicester surely aren’t going to stick with Ruud van Nistelrooy. Second bottom since his appointment, wide open defensively and I’m sure the underlying data is more unkind.

These three Man City signings - are they for now or the future? Rarely works out when you chuck youngish players from another league in mid season with huge expectations. Marmoush, at 25, perhaps exempt. Khusanov (20) & Reis (19) surely for tomorrow?

Just catching up on #MOTD ⏪ Jean-Philippe Mateta has proper 2025 Barclaysman vibes. Genuine long-sleeved shirt, tucked in, playing for a mid-table side but clearly a baller. He will be remembered well in 15-20 years.

Important pod on #WatfordFC finance with the best in the biz (Kieran, not me!). Snapshot is that we are trending in right direction but it’s not a good financial picture going forward. Can we sustain this and how?

What breed of cow is this?

Suddenly a lot to talk about re. #WatfordFC even though there wasn’t a game on Saturday!

We pod tonight 🎙️ Matt, Jordan & @tombodell.bsky.social at 18.30 🤝 On the agenda: 👀 TC 🇹🇷 Destanoğlu 🇫🇮 Joronen 🧤 Travers 👋 Porteous 🤕 Dwomoh 🏆 Fulham 🍒 Jebbison Questions? Drop ‘em below 👇

Nice to see Raúl Jiménez doing so well in the autumn of his career. He’s had such a strange career and it doesn’t seem that long ago he was being linked with a big-money move away from Wolves. Making up for lost time at Fulham. (Just spare #WatfordFC on Thursday, eh?)

Tried to bring some balance to the #WatfordFC debate after three consecutive defeats. The season is on a knife edge. We're either going to come through this and get our unexpected playoff challenge back on track, or slide into mid-table mediocrity – which was a best-case scenario last summer.

West Ham seems like the sort of job that could really restore Graham Potter’s reputation. Big club, resources, a deep sense of ‘the right way’ to play football. He’s just got to get them safely into mid-table this season.

That’s another £10m, McGuire 🤑

✅ @tombodell.bsky.social, Matt and Jordan have picked their starting XIs for the Blades’ visit Whose are you taking? 🤨 #WatfordFC
