Why don't you come back to us when you've fully recovered from your charisma ( look it up!) bypass operation?
Well its all going on at Watford, Zola has bought 7 new players, looks like we're playing a team thats never met!
From what I've read 5 of the new players are loans from Udinese, which the new owners also own. Apparently the Watford supporters club are worried that they will become a feeder club for them.
Walker played against Liverpool so he seems fine, not heard anything on VDV though. Anyone else staying up for the game tonight?
Its on at 9am Sydney time so i am recording it to watch when i get home from work. Hoping for a good display from the lads.
The match tonight is NOT postponed as is being reported on BBC etc. It has just been put back 5 minutes so it is being played at 00:05 on Wed 01 August rather than at 24:00 on Tuesday 31 July. And yes YV, I will be staying up to watch it.
Apparently Tainio might be injured, shame cos I was looking forward to rolling back the years watching him play.
Him being injured is also quite a lot like rolling back the years to when he was with us though, YV! Good player when he was available, though. Probably still best remembered for this and his goal against West Ham in the 4-3: [video=youtube;-wf5yuE7G38]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wf5yuE7G38[/video] Still funny.
What's new? His frequent injuries were surely the only reason that we sold him. He was a class player.
Fair point guys, I'll always remember him as an integral member of the "lets play a right footed cente mid on the left wing" sides of the Jol era Quality vid, PNP Halsey was definitely on the wum too!
I liked Jol's insistence on the 'front 6', and that we don't need two wingers, backed him all the way on both those judgements. But thought when it came to the big games, for whatever reason(s) he was a loser. His stupid idea of playing Keane and Defoe v Grimsby also bugged me big time, as did .... I'll leave it there
Here's tonight's team - Gomes; Walker, Dawson, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto; Huddlestone, Livermore; Bentley, Sigurdsson, Lennon; Bale. Does anyone recon that AVB is telling DL that we need a striker or two or is he going Spanish?
Have we just found out why Bale's been wearing number 9? Tainio and Cahill start for the Red Bulls. Henry and Marquez don't.
