Do Not Scratch Your Eyes

So the new came out that Tom had go the Head Coach gig permanently - we get the reaction from supporters who whilst encouraged wonder what this means in terms of support and patience from within the club for the popular former midfield star. We look back at previous successful young managers and wonder who might act for Tom in advisor role? COYH!!!! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do...

Carl, Justin and Pete get together for the 500th episode of award losing podcast and announce the venue and date of the Big Night Out! Plus we cover important questions Aldi's middle line and ask what kind of shopper each of our partners is before Pete goes off on one about Die Hard if it were based in Scotland for some reason!!! Do we like or care about former players? We get all angry about the...

1 last chance to win a game at home for the season!!! Ant joins us from Sunderland trying to out grump Justin and Carl for the "can't the end of season be done already trophy!!". More dogs than usual and a lack of trust appear in the prediction league as both Justin and Carl are upset at Pete's recent handing out of points deduction and the removal of 1-1 as an option (this happened at the start o...

Part Two We hear the rest of the calls after an entertaining 0-0 and ask about our combinations up front, Tom's future manager chances and the five word and long form reviews. Thank you to everyone who participates in the general post match nonsense!!! COYH!!!! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

Part One After the third 0-0 draw in four games we look back at what most saw as an entertaining game and a sensational halftime!!! Dan Bachmann's performance is discussed as is our inability to offer threat in the final third and our record of no home win since November!!! Pete asks who is our best keeper (excluding Tony Coton) in peoples time watching Watford. COYH!!!! This Podcast has been crea...

As ever thanks so much for the questions and suggestions for nonsense to chat about!!! We discuss - sofa's, agent fees, philosophy, kit combinations, super heroes and other nonsense - plus Keep or Bin where Justin sacks the whole squad and Pete tries to not over enthuse over Mrs Hoedt and fails!!! Plus news of look a likes and the Big Night Out we are trying to plan to raise money for a good cause...

Ant from our friends at "To Hull and Back" joins us once again to talk about Hull City - the play offs so near yet so far and how the manager has done and how dependent are they on loan players? The Prediction league takes an exciting turn as points are docked and unexpected substitutes appear. Finally we do the 1 in 10 nonsense for Hull and the winner is unexpected and yet thoroughly understandab...

PART 2 The remaining calls and reviews etc... Alex is gutted about the circumstances around the last minute goal, Alan sees encouragement in the spirit being shown and has hopes for the Hull game as he wont be there, Ron feels that winning 1 game in 6 is another way to look at the stats but feels TC has not done a bad job before Jack joins us from Scotland to warn us of the experience of VAR North...

PART ONE We discuss the final minute defeat to Southampton after what looked like a comeback to preserve Tom Cleverley's unbeaten run. Rich comes off a cruise boat to Norway, Charlie fear TC might be poached by another club, Mike thinks we perhaps have to reset our expectations, Greg says we are now eating hamburger rather than steak and John thinks that things are going well and would like to see...

The lads chat with Rich from Inside the Orange/Yellow* (* delete as appropriate) about this years walk to raise funds and awareness of Autism and associated charities about the fantastic work they do in combination with Watford FC and other clubs. We hear about the impact that the sensory room can make and the work of charities such as Anna Kennedy Online plus what can each of us maybe do to make...

Part Two of the calls after a fabulous rear guard action to keep a clean sheet at Portman Road and see Tom Cleverley keep his undefeated record so far intact! COYH!!!! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes. The views in this Podcast are not necessarily the views of talkSPORT. Huge thanks to all our Patreons: Chris Giannone, RichWFC2, Steve Holliman, Paul Fiander Tu...

PART ONE The second 0-0 in as many games – but aa very different feeling. The defensive performance certainly made the game feel different from Saturday. Martin extolls the virtues of Wes Hoedt and jumps off his sofa at us nearly scoring at the end! Alan joins us (not from Daventry for a change!) to point out how much he doesn’t care about Leicester’s fate this season! Paul joins us and gives an a...

We chat to Fraser from Southampton FC News and discusses the Saints manager and whether he is fiddling about too much with the team. We talk about the Saints keeper who provided us a point earlier in the season and the south coast sides chances of making promotion automatically or via the play-offs. The prediction league race for the title reaches new giddy heights of disinterest as a man with dic...

PART TWO Nellie joins us and Pete cajoles him into revealing the secrets of spinach and Vegetable Thali’s before Nellie drags Pete back to the football, Kevin Jackson joins us from North of the Border querying the attendance when there appeared to be many empty seats and talk about players who have started at a club but improved over time. Rob joins us and heralds the enjoyment to be had at non le...

After a more than disappointingly dull game versus Preston where neither side appeared to turn up we pour over the performance and the position the club currently sits in with no threat of promotion or relegation – plus we talk a lot about food – which says a lot about the lack of incident during the afternoon. Mike shares his thoughts on Rajovic and Wedding Food tasting, Justin joins to talk abou...

Justin and Pete chat with Dave from the "Blue Monday" podcast about Ipswich Towns last two seasons, a manager that will presumably poached at some point but doing just fine for the moment thank you! The squad still mainly intact from a promotion winning campaign from League 1 has been supplemented with a few January window loans giving the manager in game options and we discuss how this combinatio...

We get to speak to Ollie from the Butter Pie podcast about all things Preston and how their managers past and present are regarded at Deepdale! Has he Championship been devoid of quality and what things do we miss about football - Carl misses drinking beer in his seat even though he has never done it!! The prediction league see our Americans roll dice in a pub and Jarvis gets a pep talk from Ben a...

Part Two of the fan reaction 5 word and long form reactions plus haiku's and limericks!!! More fan reaction from a result that saw us drop two points at the end but find perhaps a liking for the team and management style that Tom has bought since taking the hot seat. Some want him in permanently now whilst others think letting things calm down might be advisable - but either way just enjoy the rid...

A performance we would have taken at any point this season and a result we would all have taken before the game, however at 2-0 up you have to have a look at how the game gets away from us and ends in a draw. As ever fans balance out views and opinions and some put a large percentage of the blame on one player but others are of the view that we win, draw and lose as a team and that for the second...

The general happiness continues with Pete and Alan going off on one of their meandering discussions on all things football from St Albans to Vicarage Road to the play offs and Alan being very happy that his neighbours in Leicester are having a hard time!!! Blue Cheese Brett wondering why everyone isn't as delighted as he was prior to the game at the Clevs appointment - he recounts a conversation w...

Clevs first game at home and despite an 85th minute equaliser (almost) everyone is in good spirits having seen a "front footed" performance against a top of the table team. The undoubted good will towards the current interim manager see some call for or at least be well dispositioned towards making it a permanent appointment. Wherever you are, it feels like most have been heartily impressed by how...

Joined by friend of the pod and DNSYE ambassador to the EFL Kev from “Where’s Kev” joins us to talk about the Bank Holiday trip to his beloved baggies!! We find out about who and what has been the driving force behind Albions charge for the play offs and we find out about some former hornets. In the Prediction League, John both jumps and falls over on a small green trampoline with its safety featu...

Finally the end of the international break is in sight and we can get back to moaning about Championship football again! Hurrah!! Major Tom's first home game is against the League Leaders Leeds United. We chat to Darren from LS11 and hear about how their season has gone and which players we should look out for. We cover off their last few managers in 1 in 10 and move on to the prediction league wi...

As an alternative to international football or watching paint dry your hosts chat on many things with little or no knowledge of any of the subjects. The latest share ownership news is as insightful as Justin's story of Monkey World, Forest, Gardens or Wooded glades! We chat about the revelations in the "Wobbly Obs" from William Troost-Ekong (who we still think shouldn't have ducked!!), Pete and Ju...

Part Two sees us examining Maps and Lloydinho goals before finding out about both players representing Jamaica and the issues with altitude, rivalries, odd refereeing and heat playing against some big footballing names in the CONCACAF area. The lads choose their best 5-a-side from their playing colleagues – neither choose many defenders and the Maps makes a late sub!!! Pete thinks that a time to p...
