@AllegedlyR Never believed a word they were saying. They talk in their own riddles and I think believe they’re being genuine. Standard Pozzo appointment, yet still want to feel 💯 wrong and it works 🙏🤷

The devil in the detail is "Polish titles." The Championship is a very different beast. I honestly despair man.

Niels Frederiksen is close to being named as the new Watford boss. He's led Lech Poznan to back-to-back Polish titles.

The new Netflix documentary “Untold: Jamie Vardy” is an enjoyable take on a remarkable football story, on the underdog who bit back. Vardy’s rise up the divisions is well depicted. The tale of Leicester City’s 5,000-1 title season is both uplifting for the very real band of brothers narrative, captured in players’ own footage (especially in Vardy’s kitchen), and also dispiriting when you look at the mess Leicester are in a decade on.
Rob Tanner proves a sure-footed guide through an extraordinary season. Great insight is also provided by Andy King, the most eloquent and perceptive contributor to the doc. Vardy’s agent, John Morris, also comes across well, trustworthy, loyal, a friend to Vardy as well as an occasionally exasperated guiding light, tracking him down in pubs, urging him to reach for the stars not the vodka-soaked Skittles.
The story of Jamie Vardy is partly a story about who he trusts even before stepping from anonymity into the limelight. The doc is good on the what and the when, less good on the why. Why was Vardy such a clinical finisher? Why wasn’t there more on his 26 England appearances and two tournaments, one wretched (Euro 2016), one moral-restoring (2018 World Cup)? Why didn’t he go to Arsenal in 2016?
Why was his relationship with his parents so complicated? Vardy isn’t shallow. He’s shy, wary, a mixture of pain at rejection and total belief that he’d score, that he'd win. The film could have gone deeper on the human story. He could have been challenged more on the affray incident, the drinking and the casino discrimination incident. Promising lines of questioning are started but not pursued.
What does comes over very strongly is Vardy’s total reliance on his wife, Rebekah, and her stabilising influence. But there’s no mention of the Wagatha dramas and how a family got through that. But as a well-crafted 90-minute celebration of an incredible football story, "Untold: Jamie Vardy" is definitely worth watching.

Goal of the Day
There's not loads of footage of John Barnes in his #WatfordFC days.
Here he scores for @WatfordFC against Chelsea in 1985 as The Hornets won 3-1.

As a kid I dreamed of scoring at Wembley.
Can you imagine doing it with a goal like this?
@NickWright11 achieved it in 1999 for @WatfordFC in the play-off final vs. Bolton.
