Justin, Carl & Pete transfer their inane utterances from Watford towards England as we head for the Euro's this summer. Having fallen sceptical of England and the endless friendlies and Nations League games Justin and Pete need Carlos to help regenerate some enthusiasm for the three lions.It transpires amongst other things that the government stopped Carl traveling to Japan, Justin knows astonishingly little about the Premier League (other than he doesn't like Crystal Palace) and Pete doesn't know how the Chile national anthem really goes - but other that this is a reassuringly underwhelming start to our England coverage!!The Sceptical England Fans Podcast is a DNSYE Podcast.This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

We come together to try to finish off 23/24 by going through and revealing the winners in the various season long competitions and start a couple of new competitions at the same time (but not very well)!!!! On the way we talk about the Fury/Usyk fight, teams coming down from the Premier League and those coming up from League 1 and get to realise how detached from the goings on at Oxford United Justin has been for the last 30 years! We also find out what we all think of podcasting bearing in mind we haven't spoken about the subject before! Go figure!!COYH!!!This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

You might not want to listen to this - you have your view of the podcast for good or for bad (and we don't want to change that), but we get something out of doing this to find out what people like and what they don't like and whilst we can't change everything for everyone (madness lies there) we take all feedback on board!Thanks to everyone who does and who doesn't like the podcast but gives it a chance - it is all appreciatedCOYH!!!This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

We find out what the Plymouth Marine Aquarium, Vicarage Road pitch lamps and the Aurora Borealis have in common plus Justin tells us about Icelandic naming conventions and the hosts announce their Icelandic names with varying degrees of certainty and pride/shame before Carl takes us Ghanabound!! It’s fair to say we didn’t start this pod very well!!!Eurovision is discussed and Justin’s opinions are trampled on as we take a guided tour round the history of Bucks Fizz and find out just who is Rita Crudgington, the old TV show Eurotrash and Pete turns on the French and their sporting opening ceremonies, before discussing our best and least appropriate “Dad jokes”, Udinese and that lot up the road! We discuss the new Sky deal, the 3 O’clock TV black out and the effect that this will then have on kick off times and travelling supporters, we also find out why Carl would charge Justin and Pete to come round his gaff to watch a game! We then settle the question on clingfilm and tin foil before Carl explains that an NVQ (Level 3) in doesn’t cover how to turn on a vacuum cleaner! We speak to Sharon from the Pump House and Watford Fringe Festival of which we have inadvertently become a part before we reflect on Justin’s recent chat with former Chelsea and Palace players on the subject of mental heath.COYH!!

In the final part of our season review of 23/24 with friends, Pete asks some stupid questions and gets some stupid answers about the highs and the lows of 23/24? What is the hope that might kill 2024/25, what are you 3 wishes for Watford (excluding player signings and finance) and what stars or well known characters might star in "Watford - the Movie"?COYH!!!!This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

We continue our chat and look at the squad depth away from the midfield, into the defensive line and final the keeper situation.
