Watford Short News Items

Can't say I blame them really - but nothing there actually appeals to me. I'd far rather have an enlarged, framed photograph of his goal to hang in my mancave. One of Barry Endean's goal against Liverpool would be handy to hang alongside it.

 

Those Leicester fans are still bitter.

I don't think it's the actual 10 year anniversary yet - wasn't it May 12th or something?

Guess they actually went on and achieved some quite special achievements afterwards but as a moment will always be remembered.

 

It was the twelfth - forever after to be known as 'Deeney Day' or 'The Glorious Twelfth'.

I think the Leicester fans are just cranky because the threat of relegation is still very real for them - and they don't fancy playing at The Vic again next season.

 

Another take on it.

 

Having watched it again Knockheart should get an oscar for that dive.

CHAMPIONS! Well done to all involved.

 

Congratulations!

Great season .

Time for revenge v Forest in the play off final .

 

Hopefully revenge will be sweet.

I see the three goalscorers were Wilson, Baptiste and Davidson - three very good players who caused Forest plenty of problems in that Cup final. Hopefully they can hang onto them for next season regardless of the outcome.

 

Bit of a match report - I must admit I did wonder how they became champions. Oxford were ahead of them on points before the start, but contrived to get themselves beaten by Ipswich. Thanks Tractor Girls...

Final U21 match of the season underway - 0-0 after five minutes.

And Shaq Forde is back...

 

And now leading 1-0 courtesy of a James Collins goal.

 

Whoops - now losing 1-2.

 

After a Collins equaliser, Burnley scored again to win 3-2.

That's almost it for the season - all eyes on the women's final game against the Florists.

 

Sad news.

Eddie Plumley has died .

RIP.

 

Seems Okoye has had an arm operation.



Hopefully not serious and he can get back to competing against Bachmann next season.

 

I'm not so sure that he competed against Bachmann this season tbh. He was on the bench 3 or 4 times - the last a couple of months ago, so maybe his injury is recent.

 

True and had to be left out at times because we had too many non HG players .

Did cost 6 million so the club will hope he can make some impact .

 

Or retain some resale value?

 

I really didn't understand spending so much on a goalkeeper when we already knew Bachmann is fine at this level.
