+ loads of others that I'll add as I remember them/you lot produce obscure players from the 1940's who were loaned from one club to the other and made 1 appearance.

Match Preview;
Watford sit third in the league, having not lost in four, and have a decent looking strike force in Deeney and Pedro, who both have six goals. Pedro is only 19 years old, and seems to have been snapped up by Watford before he'd even played for his first club, Fluminense, in Brazil. Imagine that, paying for a scout to fly all the way to Rio De Janeiro to watch a kid who has never played, and then signing a contract for him to join your club...madness. Makes far more sense to blow all your money on a 30+ year old who is nearing the end of his career .

As for us, we now face the rest of season with no BOS and Eze long gone, but on a positive note, Chair has signed a new contract until 2025. I do think Chair, Austin, Dykes, Bonne, Willock and Bonne offer enough of an attacking threat for us to be ok this year...but nothing more than ok. Going into Monday night, when we are also live on sky, I am just hoping we can make the game scrappy, stop them from playing as they can...and maybe get a draw. Not too hopeful though.

I'll add team news when it is on the official, and others can add what they know.

Enjoy those who will be watching and as always...COME ON YOU SUPER HOOPSA!!!

The win for promotion is obviously the highlight of any memories but loved the 4-2 win there when Balanta unexpectedly played.

 

Tony Currie. Again.


Cheers Dave.


We’re losing this one.

 

Alex Bonnot

 

They got held to a draw by Millwall. Lets go for the win!

 

Oh ****tu obvs.
Furlong.

 

I hope this is on the fugging red button

 

Even better than that so we probably get Andy Hinchcliffe reading the same factsheet as last time.

 

It's probably the live game isn't it?

 

Ah, yes, Monday night match.

 

He does seem a regular fixture...we might get a draw...I agree, not likely though.

Good skills remembering this one.

Disappointed I forgot these two.

 

David Bardsley (quite a biggie)

 

I wonder if we'll have a clear penalty not given in this one.

We will probably be in blue & white hoops

 

i will see if the girls will get changed

 

So you should, as the official girls kit man you are responsible for getting it right.
Making us look at stunning girls in various kits WILL be tolerated this once, however if it happens again it will be tolerated again.

 

The mighty Samba Diakite is one you've missed Dave (only four loan appearances for Watford though, so don't take it too bad!)

Clive has put together a piece and a half on his time with us....when you read this you remember how totally bonkers he was!

According to my very unreliable sources, it was actually 6 appearances for Watford.

 

Afraid Samba always reminds me of this video...where he doesn't come across well at 1:30, and Barton doesn't come across well at 2:10...
