Watford v Bournemouth. This Saturday´s match pitches the best two in the Championship last season against each other but this time in the Prem. Fortune has favoured QSF´s team as the Hornets sit in 9th place and on 36 points in the table. The Cherries, on the other hand, are in 15th with 28 points. Off the back of an uninspiring yet victorious cup win against Leeds, the starting 11 will undoubtedly be changed for the visit of EH´s relegation threatened side. Who, having been knocked out of the FA Cup by Everton, can now "give it their all in the league." There are 12 games to go in the league and Watford are 4 points off the magical 40 point mark , a win this Saturday and well, you´d hope we´d get a point from the remaining 11! After seeing the reverse fixture, where Watford scraped a point and Bournemouth missed a late pen, well we can´t play that badly again, surely? ¡¡COMMENTS WELCOME - ENJOY THE GAME !! ¡¡COYH COYH COYH !!
2-1 win I reckon to keep the Cherries fans quiet because they will no doubt remind us about what happened on the final day of last season!
Nice one Mex. I hope with smash them and get a couple of dodgy penalties. I am getting in with MY ( yes my usual H) usual 3-1.
It would be good to see Watford score a few and win by a big margin . Have been impressed with Bournemouth this season , they might have been above us had they not suffered those early long term injuries . Like their attacking play and hope they stay up . My guess, a 2.2 draw .
Thanks Mex, great stuff. Well, this is a big'un! I would love to smash 'em and wipe the daft grin off EH and that really irritating chairman of theirs! Yep, still don't like them and can't help but be a little smug that karma has been biting them on the bum all season. Still, until we are safe i won't be too smug and have a bad feeling that this one will not go the way we'd like it to! (Karma perhaps? ). So...obviously it'll be a 3-1 home win, despite the fact that w_y keeps nicking my (yes, MY) prediction lol. 3 points will be good enough, let's grab 'em! COYH!!!
EH is a rare creature , ie a young English manager and also a local lad . He does come across as incredibly smug ..Maybe when he grows up he will be OK . Need to beat Bournemouth and Man.Utd , to enable us to "rest" our senior players . Would like to see our youth team or ladies out against Leicester .
Yeah, I will be there. Getting the train up in the afternoon (very environmentally friendly) and staying the night before the train back in the morning. So will be in some pub near Deansgate during the afternoon!
Nice one... This is the one I want us to humiliate the oppo... Howe is as popular with me as a bad case of the trotts on a long haul flight.The muff supporters seem to see themselves as better than us when in fact they could and should be out of business... Jumped up pensioner haven that they are should go back to their zimmers...
I don't agree with all those uncharitable souls who want us to humiliate them. I'd rather win 1-0 with a very, very dodgy 1st minute penalty that sees Bournemouth reduced to 10 men.
I think EH is smug as he knows that he's probably the most secure manager in the PL - he wasn't so smug when he was at Burnley.
They do seem to think all the refs hate them and are useless whereas us and the Norwich fans seem to think generally the refs are this level at better. Wonder why... I am sure if we play well we will win - they haven't got a great defence and whilst Afobe looks decent think ours can deal with the threat. Hopefully learnt from the game at Bournemouth where we were under par and caught out a bit. What would you do regarding the full backs - start Ake and Holebas?
