    These are supposed to be the cheapest season tickets in the Championship. Watford no longer at the cheap end.

    For adults I presume obviously.

    Not gone up in a while so guess others haven’t either .

    There was a split between two sets of fans for a bit but glad they have managed to come together and create this deal which is great news for all Bury fans .

    Fiorentina vs Stam. You're not missing anything much.. Fans are better shots with the beer beakers... awful game.

    Meadowlark Lemon has signed for Fiorentina. Surprised it took the ref six watches.

    The Wet spam game is on a rather obscure French TV channel. The mainstream have been spared.

    Well done to West Ham and Moyes.

    Very impressive.

    What a time and way to win it too .

    Shame a few idiot fans spoilt the evening to some extent for the majority.

    Spared ET. You don't like watching some things that are unpleasant, but you find yourself drawn to having a sneaky peek. Well done to Moyes, but is this really a major trophy as some are describing it?

    Guess it is for a side like West Ham.

    Bit like the league cup .

    No one is that bothered till they get to the latter stages .

    Thing is they will probably moan about too many games next season now !

    We would love to win something like that, the Watford pond would be empty in minutes

    Both this and the league cup are simply money making exercises. If you think back to the start of the league cup, it was designed as a means of giving teams knocked out in the first round of the FA Cup some additional income.

    All of it, not many fish if any in it now, more of a glorified water fountain

    Including the Pozzi's, the plan was to be an established Prem club in 5 years (tick), then Euro football, came close with the FA cup but no cigar, then the downward spiral that we are still attempting to reverse

    It's becoming a major trophy Frenchie. The winners automatically go into the Europa League in the following season. In the olden golden days we had 3 European competitions - European Cup, Cup Winners Cup and EUFA Cup and all were seen as worthy. But with the Champions League not being reserved for champions and having up to 4 clubs from some countries (5 in extreme cases) the other two have become 'losers cups'. The Champions League has devalued nearly all other competitions including domestic ones. Personally I preferred the old European Cup to the present format.

    They should probably re-name it though - Conference League makes it sound so 'fifth tier'. I'm not sure if other European countries use the term but England certainly does - and Scotland nearly did until yesterday, when the planned introduction was scrapped as clubs and fans across the country overwhelmingly rejected it.
