    Radio 5 live this morning going on extensively about Man U's 3rd defeat in a row and reasons thereof rather than the fact that they have been beaten by 3 better teams last week.

    Before the match I was so concerned about the officials.
    I needn't have been - 2 comedy moments, the ref intercepting a United pass into the box and setting us up on a breakaway in the first half. Then in the second the linesman tripped a United player as he looked to break out!

    TF1 the main TV station here has come up with this.

    Watford, une équipe qui monte
    Leicester a créé la sensation la saison dernière en remportant la Premier League. Avant de revoir une surprise d’un tel acabit en Angleterre, il faudra sûrement attendre de longues années. Watford ne dispose pas des mêmes armes des Foxes mais a de quoi séduire. Walter Mazzarri a instauré son fameux 3-5-2 avec des joueurs qu’il connait parfaitement. De Naples, il a recruté Britos, Zuniga et Berhami. L’équipe s’appuie également sur de jeunes talents comme Tommie Hoban, Abdoulaye Doucouré et Jerome Sinclair. Mazzarri peut aussi compter sur le soutien de joueurs d’expérience tels Younès Kaboul, José Holebas et Ben Watson. Cet été, le club n’a d’ailleurs pas hésité à débourser 13 millions d’euros pour recruter Roberto Pereyra à la Juventus Turin. Un joueur capital pour l’Italien : « Si on me donne à choisir entre Pereyra et Pogba, je préfère Pereyra. Pereyra est un joueur qui court pour toute l’équipe et qui a beaucoup de qualités. C’est le joueur que je voulais, et si je devais choisir, je le choisirais. »

    Watford affrontera successivement Burnley, Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Swansea et Hull City en Premier League. Si Etienne Capoue se maintient à son niveau, les Hornets pourront certainement espérer mieux que le ventre mou du championnat, et, pourquoi pas, l’Europe. Le milieu de terrain, capé à sept reprises avec l’Equipe de France, pourra alors envisager un éventuel retour chez les Bleus. En attendant, la route est encore longue, mais les applaudissements du Vicarage Road seront là pour l’accompagner.

    Man Utd today put out an urgent alert that two of their "star players" hadn't been see at the training ground following the defeat at Watford. It was reported that both Ibrahimovic and Pogba would be fined several weeks wages, but were let off when the Watford kit man rang up Man Utd and told them that he had found Pogba and Ibrahimovic in the pocket of Berhami's and Prodl shorts respectively!!!!

    Few things in there are wrong, and the language in it is all broken? :huh:

    It's amazing that French newspapers are writing about us though <laugh> <yikes>

    You're not wrong - since when have we been relying on Tommie Hoban, Abdoulaye Doucouré and Jerome Sinclair?

    I love this, can watch it over and over... That pass from Amrabat was sublime.

    Someone... <whistle>... was slagging him off earlier in the game... then that pass was made:
    "Oh yes! Who was that? ... Cut it back! Go on! YESSSSSSSSSSSS!"
