    Leeds score. They’re going down, but were they to survive, would their ****ehawk fans still sing “You’re not fit to wear the shirt!”? Their players should win and then walk straight down the tunnel. Scummy fans.

    Didn't think for a nanosecond that neverton would be relegated. I blame Brighton.

    Putting rivalry aside and a positive, but probably irrational, dislike of the town (I'm not wildly keen on Watford as a town if it comes to that!) Luton do seem to be a well run club. Given their resources they have done very well, but given their lack of resources I would expect them to perform much like Barnsley, Swindon, Blackpool etc next season

    Giving them 1 too many there !

    Was a total disaster.

    Must have been painful .

    2 goals in injury time denying promotion!

    Yes think the owners were badly hit by COVID as they are in the airline trade (in Asia )

    3 Watford players liking posts about Luton, our arch rivals getting promoted. Just one of the many problems with this rotten club.
    Any player that understands this club would never do that. Get all three gone and anyone else who does the same.

    Oh dear. A footballer who appreciates the success a small club with minimal finance. Succes achieved through togetherness, team spirit and will to fight. I applaud
    @LutonTown
    for their achievement - and I wish
    @WatfordFC
    could display some of those same qualities.

    You’re not a proper Watford fan you nonce, applauding that lot for anything. Get in the bin. Most likely don’t even go to Watford games.

    Are there any rules about WFC fans fighting each other?

    I don't think so - and this will probably cause a few -
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/2397313697094699/


    I'm a little surprised at one of the players - maybe he was unhappy at having to spend a loan season at York?

    But as for the other two, I don't think we should ever have signed them - both underwhelming really and I doubt the fans would want to see them 'in the shirt' again.

    And one is out on loan whilst the other played a lot under Edwards and had an International teammate playing for Luton .

    Not a great look PR wise but they are footballers with as you say no love for Watford .

    Maybe Forde is a Luton fan ?!

    David James was/is.

    I bet there were a few ex players and coaches happy for Rob after the way we “dumped” him .

    Unfortunately it’s got very toxic and some of the behaviour and comments particularly on Twitter made are more akin to what you might expect at a Millwall or West Ham tbh .

    Looking on Twitter and WFC forums there are loads of our own fans who seem pretty pleased that Rob Edwards got promoted and even congratulating Luton themselves!’

    Mainly as a tool and means to criticise Pozzo which is understandable but some of it has got personal and certainly caused a divide between fans .

    More penalties at Wembley?

    Championship, League 2 and National League Final all went to penalties too .

    EDIT: No - late late SW winner .

    So Yorkie gets rid of one Sheffield away day, to have it replaced with another one.

    I suppose that when you're under contract you're expected to play - but I find it odd that he had no contract extension offer, is now basically clubless, but was still selected.

    Can't say that I remember him playing against us, but, as a free transfer, could he do a job for us?
