Watford, chill. Some outrageous statements on that forum. Let's get it right -
You are a mid-sized football league club experiencing a purple patch. You have no history of success to speak of but have started this season well, converting last year's momentum as many promoted sides have shown is possible in the past before sliding into the bottom 10 in the second half of the season, something which I fully expect to happen in your case as well.
You play aggressive, route one stuff which can be both fun to watch and effective and you have shocked some 'footballing' sides this year (Hi Liverpool). Maybe you expected Spurs to be one of them? Unfortunatley for you that expectation was misguided. Our Manager had watched you and set up to frustrate your two centre forwards (easily your best players, Ighalo in particular looks like someone who will probably be playing for a big club next year) with three sat in at the back. The game plan worked to a point and our pressing and refusal to roll over clearly upset some of your players, two of whom should have been sent off for violent conduct.
In the end we had some good fortune with the offside goal but over the course of the game we had been the better team as we have been and will be over the course of the season and indeed over the entire course of human history, even factoring in that rather small time deliberatley conference standard pitch of yours on the day.
I think we will see a different type of game at the Lane this year which will, for those of you planning to make the big trip to our nation's capital city to watch, be even less enjoyable.
In closing, you may 'hate' us all you like but please understand that your football club is not in any way significant. Please also refrain from ever attempting to classify Tottenham Hotspur as your 'rivals'.
Please feel free to come back and pipe up again when you are also one of the most succesfull clubs in the country with over 20 domestic and european trophies in your cabinet.
Regards
