Social media can be a dispiriting place when Town lose. But after the 4-1 victory over Watford it was a delight to see the tweets roll in. Here are some of my favourite tweets about yeterday’s game.
Will perfectly reworks Wham’s Christmas hit
“Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away… This year, to save me from tears, I’ll give it to David Wagner” 💙💙💙 #htafc pic.twitter.com/squoOex9bx

Reece Dinsdale shows how football fandom spans generations
On Dec 16th 1967, 50 years ago to this very day, my dad took me to see @htafcdotcom for the first time. We lost 3-0 at home to Bristol City in what was the old 2nd div.
Today we beat Watford 4-1 away in the Premier League!
Some things just take a bit of time. 😉
Thanks Dad. x 👍 pic.twitter.com/KK4EysKXzF— Reece Dinsdale 💙 (@reece_dinsdale) December 16, 2017

How does he do it?!? He looks like the most inept footballer I’ve ever seen, at the same time as being a complete game-changing genius!!!!!! 💙💙💙

Which would look a bit like this:
Even TerrierBlog.co.uk was (sort of) complementary. Maybe not, but it’s an improvement on saying he’s got cricket bats for legs which he’s previously said about Big Col.

It may be getting boring to say this every game, but Town fans outsang Watford and made an incredible din.
#htafc fans are without a shadow of a doubt, the best set of supporters to come to Vicarage Road since we came up a couple of seasons. Class support.

I’ve seen a variation of the above Tweet after nearly every Premier League match this season. We’re building a great reputation for ourselves.

Huddersfield have scored four goals in an English top-flight game for the first time since 1956.

OK, there’s a lot of games left to play, and points to win, but when every pundit picks Town to go down despite the fact we’re currently mid-table it feels like a conspiracy. I hope they look pretty silly in May 2018.
