Justin and Pete have a chat with head groundsman Scott Tingley whilst looking over the splendid playing surface at Vicarage Road. We find out about his introductions to sports surface preparation, football and Heurelho Gomes!!! We talk about why the pitch is dug up in May when it still looks great, not knowing the cost of a bag of fertiliser once but now researching silicon grass couplets, intercontinental awards, why dogs and robo...

Pete and Justin are joined by Louis from Charlton Live to relive the memories of good addicks days and some bad. Which player is the equivalent who signed for Charlton in the 80's where for a period they became nomadic!! The Completely Rubbish Prediction league returns to manageable levels and we look at the squad ins and outs through the summer.

The gruesome threesome come together with inadvertent good timing and discuss new players and how Derek Payne might pronounce them, friendlies, speedo's and other forfeits if we win the league, our favoured pie flavours and lots of Q&A's and assorted nonsense.

Justin, Carl & Pete start the season off with the exciting launch of the kit that has been oddly received, primarily because of the colour of the sponsor logo. Pete has had a chat with the founder of MrQ and tries to give their perspective and we discuss how many previous sponsors deviated from our core colours (it's more than we remembered) and then we talk about the Dominican Republic and we have the attention span of a goldf...

`The gruesome threesome come together to discuss the first bit of the transfer window and what might come next before moving onto more questions some as inappropriate as ever and Carl turns out not to like protesters so much we think he might start protesting (and then he can dislike himself as much s we already do)! A squabble ensues when challenged to come up with a particular Watford eleven and Pete is accused of being technical...

In part three we go on a ramble through questions submitted on X/Twitter and for once none were about food (other than porridge!)

Another one bites the dust, but this time it isn't just "another one". Tom was classy as a player and as a guy, so much so that he was elevated possibly too early to deal with the pit traps and politics of Watford's regime. On the other hand he was well versed in it having been with us pre Pozzo and then since 2017 (even though Pete says 2011 at one point - it's been a busy day) so knew all about the club under the current owners a...

Part Two: All the rest of the fan discussion as Watford's season draws to a close. Technically an improvement in points tally but surely the real achievement is doing that on close to 50% of last years playing budget. Includes 5 word reviews, long forms and assorted poetry!!!

Thank you so much to every listener and contributor.

We are joined by Dan from That Wednesday Week to discuss owners, that game where Bayo turned up, Nathaniel Chalobah, pubs in Chiswick, pubs in Sheffield, Police/sheep dogs and other assorted nonsense. The prediction league goes into its final round of fixtures with the same level of apathy that it all started with and Ben shows us his musical talent!!!

Part Two of the fan reaction and we hear about fans reaction to the day but also to the form guide and the resistance to placing young players into what was, from Watford's perspective essentially, a dead rubber.
