I am looking forward to watching you tonight as well, from the comfort of my armchair. It's the only ticket I could get, and that cost me enough in bribes for peace and quiet tonight. Hopefully Palace will turn up to play and not park. Could be quite a classy attacking game for the neutral. Good luck
Nice one Saxet - 5*'s from me. BIG game tonight and to state the very obvious, a real 6 pointer. But TBH, every game in the run in is now massive. Not an easy game and will hinge on how well we settle into the game - but I am going for a classic 3-1 Watford win. COYH
I am pleased to be playing a good side - if we are serious about promotion then we will be playing sides a lot harder next year so we should not look forward to all those easy points from the likes of .... Bristol City ???!!!!!
This site is advertising that they will stream tonight's game. Last time it was very good, but if I remember Yorkie tried the HD link and finished up in trouble. http://www.firstrow1.eu/sport/football.html BBC5live extra is also supposed to be giving commentary.
I always use this site for streaming; http://www.wiziwig.tv/competition.php?part=sports&discipline=football Apparently you will have 16 options tonight, so hopefully find a good stream from one of them; http://www.wiziwig.tv/broadcast.php?matchid=189216&part=sports
From the BBC: TEAM NEWS Watford will check on the fitness of defensive duo Joel Ekstrand and Nyron Nosworthy, but Tommie Hoban is fit to deputise following an Achilles injury. Ekstrand has a sore knee and Nosworthy has been away on international duty in Mexico with Jamaica. Crystal Palace skipper Mile Jedinak has a broken nose and cheekbone but midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi is back from Africa Cup of Nations duty. Midfielder Andre Moritz will have a test on an ankle injury. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head • These sides face each other for the first time since opening the season against each other at Selhurst Park in August, when Watford came from behind to win 3-2 and complete their first victory in seven league meetings with Crystal Palace. • The Eagles have won two and drawn one of their last three league trips to Vicarage Road. • Watford have only done of the double over Palace three times since their first league meeting in 1921, and only once in the last 77 seasons (2001/02). Watford • A fifth win in six league outings will lift Watford to second in the table, eight points behind Cardiff. • When the Hornets last had as many as 52 points after 30 games in 2007/08, they went on to finish sixth in the Championship and missed out on promotion in the play-offs. • Lloyd Doyley is on the verge of his 350th career league appearance. Crystal Palace • Crystal Palace need a first win in eight away league games, and a first league goal on the road in 2013, to also climb to second in the table. • The Eagles came from behind to win for an unrivalled fifth time in the Championship this season, with last Saturday's 2-1 home triumph over Charlton. • This match pits the two highest scorers in the division; Palace have netted 52 goals in 30 outings, Watford 58.
Official #watfordfc ‏@watfordfcsays Pls get to #watfordfc as early as you can - KO won't be delayed as on Sky. VR open from 1830, inc. V Bar, for those after pre-match drink. What's an after pre-match drink - one you have during the game?
so excited...but scared as well..and wishing i could be there. Second opportunity to go second, so let's hope we don't blow it this time! I can see us winning, but Bristol City taught us that we can't take anything for granted. Still, saying that..we'll win 3-1 and Vydra will be close to another hattrick lol (though i suspect he won't play the full 90). Great thread Saxet, thanks so much
Nervous anticipation from this part of the world. I hope I can watch in peace but being in sole gharge of a 5 year old and a two year old suggests not. Perhaps a DVD is in order, just don't tell Mrs NZ. She doesn't approve of DVDs for breakfast!
Strongest line up out. Zola means business. Good news. Only Nos out but Hoban is a decent replacement. Top two to terrorise Palace, Vydra not to last the 90 IMHO, but good to have him start.
Nos must be like me when it comes to jet-lag. It wipes me out for a few days. Which is nothing to do with the amount of in-flight Gin and Tonics consumed. Oh no sireee.
