Nice one AK. I think we'll continue our good early form but find it hard and win 1-0. Enjoy the game to those who are goin.
Nice one AK. Im really looking forward to this match. I cannot wait to get back to Vicarage Road. Although I am nervous about my first performance as the drummer of the 1881. I really hope the group is a resounding success.
Looking forward to it but got to get there first. Trying to get back from a holiday in the South West and having to persuade the very uninterested mrsghost to set off rather earlier than she was expecting!
Will be there today. Hoping for a good performance, and a comfortable result... What I think will happen is a tense affair with one goal winning it... Hopefully to us.
This site appears to claim live streaming for the match - http://www.livestream24.co.uk/uk/nik56260819/watford-bournemouth-live-stream - remains to be seen though. They also appear to be predicting a 22-1 win for Watford.
It is good to welcome Bournemouth back into the Championship - they famously were deducted 17 points in League 2 in 2008-9 - but unlike another club whose name I cannot think of they survived despite the points deduction. Well done to them.
Good luck Ghost, I failed with my attempt last week. Really looking forward to this. Hoping for a good game and a Watford win. Setting off in 5 mins COYH
Nice one AK - 5*'s from me. Will revert back to my usual 3-1 victory - and no disrespect to Muff intended in my prediction!
I cannot find any of the normal streaming sites that I use showing the game. It will be interesting to see if this one does. I will no doubt listen into HP with Jon Marks. I wonder where his tower will go when work starts on that side of the ground?
