Aseason-by-season journey through Watford FC's turbulent, brilliant, sometimes disastrous decade — told by two lifelong fans who were there for every minute of it. From the Great Escape of '91 to the Premier League, this is the story of a club, its people, and an era that changed English football forever.
Eleven season reviews, five thematic specials. Sixteen episodes that take Watford from the post-Taylor wilderness to a Premier League dawn.
Two friends, one club, ten seasons. Why we made it.
Oh My Word began as a question two old friends kept asking each other: what actually happened to Watford in the nineties? Not the headlines — the texture of it. The players you half-remember. The seasons that should have been glorious and weren't. The ones that were, against all odds.
Over sixteen episodes, Matthew and Michael worked through every season, every twist, every promotion and relegation, building a portrait of a club navigating one of the most transformative decades in English football history.
A lifelong Watford supporter and a man fond of a spreadsheet or two — he can give you the final league table for every season in this series, and probably the attendances too. Brings the data, the numbers and the receipts.
