Brilliant bit by Watford fan on football365:
There’s something reminicent of secondary school romance in this whole Marco Silva to Everton debacle. Silva is the one that all the clubs think is really pretty, and Watford, bless them, never really had much luck with managers.
All of a sudden though, spotty Watford with questionable BO is going out with Marco Silva! How’ve they managed that? For a while, it seemed Watford and Marco were actually hitting it off. Then, rumours start going round that Marco only wanted to get with Watford so he could get close to their mate Everton (who’s got a six-pack and gets beer from their older brother).
Everton has been messaging Marco this whole time behind Watford’s back, which everyone else in school thinks is out of order. Catching wind of this, Watford gets all upset and breaks up with Marco, because ‘all the trust in the relationship is gone’. No-one will be friends with Marco now that he’s been caught out and he has to keep his head down for the rest of the year.
Meanwhile, everyone is upset with Everton because they ‘snaked’ their mate Watford, and they end up single for over a month (which is a long time for them). It seems Everton just can’t stand being single though, and no-one can quite believe when they start going out with the ugly lad from three years above who always starts fights, Allardyce. There’s also a rumour that it was him who did the poo on the chaging room floors that time. Everton trudges along with Allardyce, even though deep down they know it’ll never last.
In the end though, Everton and Allardyce break up. Over summer when everyone’s away, they get with Marco after all. Come September no-one really bats an eyelid… except poor Watford, alone in the corner, wondering what might have been
Why don’t the pretty managers ever want to go out with the nice clubs?
