You did have a good team out that evening but actually Keegan was out injured - he did play in the first leg which probably accounts for the 4-0 scoreline! To make you feel a little better, we did beat the then European Champions Nottingham Forest in the next round 4-1...

..."His teams played exciting, effective football. They'd play it long because one didn't need ball-playing midfielders for that kind of game. Just a big centre-forward and support striker. It worked..." I have to chip in at this point. If you had seen the number of Watford games that I did in...

As I have already mentioned your assessment of his career is idiotic - I wonder how much you have achieved in your life?

That is the most idiotic statement I've read on Not606. So useless that he took Watford from Div.4 to Div.1 in 5 seasons, then from Div.3 to the Premier League in 3 seasons, took Villa back in his first season and then finished runners-up in his first season back at the top level - pretty...

The "extra something" that Taylor didn't have as England manager was decent players available to him.

Well you obviously never saw Watford playing in their prime then - hoofball it was not. In fact in at least half the Taylor years at Watford it was a midfielder that won Player of the Season. You could not call Blissett a beanpole striker - especially from a club who had Crouch as a striker...

"Never recovered" to the extent that he took Watford from the 3rd Div. to the Premier League AGAIN in 2 seasons in 97-99...

...and how many Watford or Villa games did you see Gil? I know a waste of a good foreskin when I see one eh Gil....

Pot calling kettle black eh Bill. You obviously didn't know him - you would have given your right (****ing) hand for him as a manager instead of the procession of ****wits you've had over the years....

As opposed to a lot of a dick like you....

I would go as far as to say that is a pretty nasty, snidey stunt - one on a level just above the Holocaust comment earlier in the year from the same firm.

How is Joe Hart the regular English goalkeeper? There must be a dozen keepers in Leagues 1 & 2 who are better than him. If he said what Arnason alleges, then he deserves everything he and the other members of the squad will get.

The formation was interesting. I would have expected 3-5-2 or 4-3-1-2 or something similar. But we got 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1....

You may be right Mark, it could have been our boots!

Hah! Another exit from Europe. It's been a real good few days for our green & pleasant land!
