    Mornin' all. Like the optimism Hornette but I'm saying 2-2. And I'll bite anyone's hand off who will offer that now :grin:

    Goals: TC and Deano

    Well hope you have a great day Yorkie. Forecast looks good, dry, cloudy and shiver me timbers. <cheers><cheers>

    And of course Merson has us down to lose 3-0. It's always 'Watford are in a good run of form, but..,' . COYH!

    But in the Guardian's 'Ten things to watch in the Premier League', amazingly they focus on Watford, so credit to them...

    'Back in September, Watford dispatched Manchester United 3-1 at Vicarage Road. The picture has improved for United since while Watford, newly confident after wins over Arsenal and Burnley, remain one of those sides from which anything seems possible. There is certainly an extra sharpness to their attacking play and while M’Baye Niang, the impressive loanee from Milan, has made early headlines, the role of Tom Cleverley, pulling the strings in midfield, cannot be discounted. Cleverley, back at Watford for a second spell after spending a successful 2009-10 season there while contracted to Manchester United, has instantly looked at home and may feel he has something extra to prove at Old Trafford. The 27-year-old has had a curious career, never quite coming up with the kind of substance he has occasionally promised, but may provide the kind of mobility and continuity Watford’s midfield has lacked and has proved an effective partner to Étienne Capoue so far. When Cleverley is fit and confident he looks a more than capable Premier League player; perhaps Watford bring out the best in him, something that he would presumably not mind underlining if the Hornets provide a sting in the tail on his old stomping ground.'

    Tx for that OFH. Looks ok but I'm surprised Success and Okaka both on the bench.

    Guess we will get a better idea about Zarate and Niang. Best of luck to both.

    Assume from Yorkie being quiet he is there. C'mon u'orns

    Afternoon all, I'll be happy with a good performance with 100% effort. Will we end Man U's run, if we do we might get a little mention....

    The opinion on 3CR is that we will line up with a 4-2-3-1 formation.

    Just opened a bottle of "Perfect Storm" IPA, brewed in Scotland, sold in Aldi. Lets hope the storm blows the right way.
