Ex-Leicester star Knockaert launches rant at 'unstable' Watford fans

Knockaert was livid after constantly being reminded of his penalty miss against Watford in the dramatic 2013 Championship play-off semi-final.

Probably been saving it up til he retired so as not to be fined or suspended for having a go. Fair enough I reckon. It's just a shame he wasn't still here to be part of the title team, then he could really let fly & wave his arse in their faces. **** Watford.

"One of the most memorable footballing moments of recent years" Yeah. Right. **** The Mail too.

I seem to recall there was another memorable moment involving one of those teams not long later. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Watford. Nothing memorable has ever involved Watford.

He was a terrific player.

How many assists for Guppy in that reel? Ha ha. Football was proper back then, wasn't it?

Jumpers for goalposts, marvellous etc

So glad I got to experience that period

It makes me think modern football is even more shit.

Scary, but in 25 years, will people look back and say about how great the football world was in the 2020's?
I fear that may be the case.

 

[Singapore Fox]

That goal against Grimsby never gets old

Yeah of course. The wind down of the Messi and Ronaldo era, the trillion-pound Chelsea relegation squad, the collapse of Manyoo, Wrexham in the Premier League becoming part of the MCU, and Kazuyoshi Miura becoming the first man over 50 to score a goal in the AFC Champions League. Legendary.

On its current trajectory, people won't be talking about football in 25 years.

Most fans I know are totally disillusioned with football and the direction it's taking.

I mean..... They really will, though.

I'm watching Gillingham v Carlisle, and Jacob Wakeling has just put Gillingham 2-0 up on his debut. I didn't even realise he was playing until he scored, Carlisle have completely dominated and had by far the better of the chances.

Thanks for confirming.

But seriously, wouldn't be shocked to see it end up like Boxing.

Oh my goodness

Jonny Evans’ penalty, everyone

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Haha Evans the **** missed. Little knicker-sniffing bitch.

Ruled himself out injured when we got relegated. When we needed him and some leadership. Then miraculously was perfectly ready and fit when season ended and Utd came calling.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

The truly great thing is the embarrassment of it happening in front of thousands of fans and millions of viewers. Serves the little ungrateful and disloyal prick right.

Also found out today Matt Jones is Wales U-21 coach and just had contract extended, doing pretty well in qualifying

OG for Lewis Brunt, putting SheffU ahead (despite the lumbering Harry Souttar at the back for them)
