Taylor died two years ago at the age of 72 and the club want supporters to mark the occasion by raising a glass. Chairman and CEO Scott Duxbury said on the club's website: "Saturday's home fixture provides our chance to remember Graham as we mark two years since his passing - so we're delighted to offer our supporters a complimentary drink in order to toast the many special memories he created for Watford FC and the local community." please log in to view this image Forgive me if I say little about the match ahead, I am sure that it will follow, but I would like to spend rather more time thinking about our Graham. Even as I produce this I still have a tear in both eyes, as he did so much for my club, the one I supported since I was eight years old. In our minds we all have a piece of Graham and he delighted in that fact for, despite his England days and times with Aston Villa, he always wanted to achieve something at a club that had never been achieved before. He did not want to duplicate a club’s past history but to set down a benchmark in achievement, and also style and culture. It is now left to the Watford of today and tomorrow to equal the fact Graham created the finest and most dedicatedly talented team in the club’s history when it reached second place in the top flight, but there was so much more than that. There was the family club, the professionalism, the fair play awards and the embracing of the community. We were all in that together. Thanks to Ollie for some of this. Team News Javi Gracia is resigned to being without Will Hughes this weekend, but is ready to integrate the fit-again Andre Gray and Christian Kabasele back into the matchday squad. Hughes came off early at Selhurst Park with concussion and he has not trained so far this week in preparation for the visit of Burnley. Burnley winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson (thigh) is facing a late fitness test, while Robbie Brady serves the last of his three-match ban.

They will probably come with the same mind set as Newcastle - get a goal and defend so important for us to get in there first I think.
Caught a stinking cold from a fellow Hornet (who had no business being out in public the state he was in) at palarse last weekend so, at the moment, I will not be going
'Lawro' has us down to lose. Should be a walk in the park then. 3-0. And a big thank you to Ms. Saxet for booking the car in for a service at 9 AM (3 PM UK time). Tsk.
On the London train.. Meeting Hackney then up to the game. Looking forward to remembering GT too.... COYH.... Sent from my F8331 using Tapatalk
Cathcart (knee injury in training), Doucouré (knee injury at Palace), Hughes (blow to head at Palace)
Good afternoon all from a chilly Scotland. A flurry of snow last night but we really havn't had a big dump, so disappointing. Looking forward to a good game which I hope will be a tribute to GT - I must get a drink. Enjoy the game all and I will post a stream if I find one.
Afternoon all from my sofa.... manflu riddled so absent from the match. I'm streaming... no I mean I am streaming, so not much point trying to watch the game....
