Do Not Scratch Your Eyes

We discuss a disappointing result from the Potteries and analyse some of the performances, areas lacking or weak in the squad and find out what 2 or 3 positions supporters would strengthen in following Ismael's comments yesterday. Part Two out soon 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....

We speak to Dave from the "Wizards of Drivel" about all things Stoke and quite a lot that wasn't really about Stoke at all! How excited is Dave with their new approach of signing "exciting foreign players", how do they like their manager, Financial fair play and who is at the opposite end of the football spectrum to Ben Pearson, who is at the opposite end of the player name spectrum to Joe Gubbins...

PART TWO Uncle Ron and Pete get in their time machine and complain about strikers not being signed in 1994 as a simile to not having signed the big number 9 as yet but nostalgia’s not what it used to be as Justin and Ron beat Pete up about his wafer thin Smiths/Morrissey knowledge! We hear from Jack and a jazz band in a park in Washington DC that seem to get louder the further he walks away from t...

Part One We talk to the supporters after the 0-0 draw against the Pilgrims. Wendover is his usual positive self and Pete drops him in it with Mrs Wendover over an unannounced potential dinner guest, the still holidaying Rio Woolf about taking our chances when we get into the areas to deliver a shot or a final ball into the box and consider is this a good point or two lost and hear from Aaron from...

We chat to Aaron from the Green & White Pod about the Pilgrims recent good times following some precarious brushes with extinction, the championship year and the why does the manager who finished second seem to have a bigger reputation than Argyles own Steve Schumacher? We discover why teams in East Anglia should both love and loathe Plymouth in equal measure and who is and who isn’t a local rival...

PART TWO We speak to Rio who’s o holiday in Crete, Sean makes a great debut call and asks if we have ever scored a quicker goal, we try to talk to PJ in Ireland but the technology gremlins mean that we will have to continue that conversation next time, Martin talks about heart palpitations with our goalkeeper and captain distribution behaviour but reserves special praise for Jeremy Ngakia, Andy se...

No one, it is said expects the Spanish inquisition - but NO ONE expected this!!! 33 seconds and 1-0 to the good and 4-0 up at half time!!!! Wow!! We all reconvene for the first match at the Vic and the first Post Match Phone In after thrilling performance against the R's who did the double over us last term. Yes the opposition weren't good and we mustn't get carried away - there will be stiffer te...

Its (sort of) local rivals QPR coming to the Vic for the opener because their pitch isn’t ready – we ask all the important questions like – where do old scarfs and shirts actually go, why has Justin got a QPR shirt and does that make him a traitor, how do QPR fans remember former Hornets player and manager Glenn Roeder who played for Rangers in the early 80’s, how is Gareth Ainsworth considered af...

Part Two of our get together in the run up to the start of the season, we discuss amputee football, what do we need, are things that bad and how hot is it in the Spanish Islands and Florida at the moment and no one seems to know if the Bunker is open on Saturday or not - so everything's back to normal then! COYH!! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes. The views in...

With the season kick off on Saturday we ease back into Twitter Space world (to ensure that Elon hasn't broken everything) and ask questions about semi final goal scorers, away kits, is it Ismael or Val (Pete still doesnt know!), why is everyone so upset that other people might think something different, why is pre season almost all behind closed doors these days, do we think we will sign anyone be...

In the first part of two we look ahead to the new season with EFL analyst and Vicarage Road good luck charm Benjamin Bloom. Which teams are doing the business transfer wise, which players should we be looking out for and could we all stop insulting him before recording starts?

The boys get together in order to fail to answer questions submitted, have a look at the 5 word reviews for the closed season so far, talk about the Borehamwood game that some saw and the Arsenal game that was played behind closed doors, the gaps in the squad, the players released, what we suspect might be a strong championship, balancing costs/wages vs being competitive, is sharing starters or ch...

Three grumpy old men convene to moan about pretty much everything! Subjects include (but are not limited to) Elton John anthems and Z-Cars, not Coldplay, Gwynyth Paltrow scented candles, Justin sings - The Lion King, Jimmy Hill's song writing capabilities, Who likes, loathes or is still emotionally processing the home shirt and ask where the red has gone, Barnsley's new home shirt (REALLY!), fixtu...

What starts as an earnest attempt at a podcast descends into eleven final minutes of kicking ideas around about creating a baking vlog with delusions of grandeur. We do touch on the M1 rival's promotion and the alphabet rears it's head, but it's really all about the baking on this one! COYH!!

We give an update on Parlai Gino, well Pete goes off on one about the event now scheduled for 15th June, We talk about them up the road getting promoted and those from the Prem coming down and a little bit about butterflies with Uncle Ron and we talk Helen Ward, female role models, murals etc... before Alan joins us having seen Leicester relegated and the players ignore all the young fans :-( COYH...

We look back on Chris Wilder's short tenure without very much to admire on the pitch but appreciate the managers candour and honesty in terms of the lack of cohesion which was a theme throughout the season. Andrew describes some conversations with the former Sheff United Manager about his thoughts on the games, the team and the club and of course the reaction post Luton on April fools day. We talk...

We talk with Andrew about following the team all over the country and segue of twitter and Friday Night curries, we criticise the combination of Curry, chips and prawn cocktails (including brown bread triangles), we dissect Slaven Bilic's reign, our lack of consistency linked to the culture in place and Andrew's discussions and reflections of the Croatians time at the club. The up and down of the...

The lads are joined by Mr Andrew French who has now completed his first season back at the Watford Observer and we go through the season starting with the undoubted good news story of the season with the Womens team winning not only their league but also promotion via a play off against Northern Premier Champions Nottingham Forest on a fabulous afternoon at Stadium MK! Also who has provided the mo...

A bit of a hotch potch really - we talk a bit about the Play Offs possibilities, Pete goes off on one again about Parlaci Gino meaning that for once Justin isn't the most grumpy one on the pod, We go through some more excellent A-Z's and finally put to bed the sickly animal that was this seasons prediction league and then start to plan how we can make it worse next season!!! This episode is sponso...

Ahead of the Promotion Play Off final Justin, and Pete talk to Player of Season Megan Chandler about how she first got into football, how she developed her game via the Charlton Athletic School of Excellence and ended up in the US on a Football Scholarship for 4 years. Now in her fourth season at Watford Megan has amongst many of her team mates had an outstanding season but she has also been playi...

Ahead of the Play Off Final, Justin, and Pete chat with Women’s team manager Damon Lathrope. We hear about hear his playing career cruelly cut short otherwise he might have met Watford in a notable cup match, his move into academy coaching and his introduction to the Womens game at the start of the season and his initial impressions. Damon talks about the exceptional playing, coaching and support...

48 hours after our disappointing season concludes Pozzo &/or Manga waste no time in bringing in brining in a new head coach - former Barnsley and West Brom manager Valerien Ismael. We take a barometer check on initial fan reaction and here from some that it is a Pozzo appointment and others that it is a Manga appointment but either way everyone agrees that unless he's backed he will be out by Octo...
