    My apologies. I should have written Rupert (and not Richard) Murdoch. You had written that "I'm much too poor(and unwilling) to support Mr Murdoch but did save up £2.50 to listen.on I Follow,as I do for some other matches". My error with his first name does not negate the fact the Murdoch no longer owns Sky because he sold it in 2018 so you would no longer be supporting him if you subscribed to Sky..

    You are obviously being facetious when you ask "Who owns Sky now then ,Musk ?Zuckerberg ? Pozzo ??". The Sky Group is now owned by Comcast and none of those individuals.

    I'd quite forgotten Murdochs first name anyway,yes the suggestion of current Sky owners was a bit of a jape.Saw the pocket money he earned from the sale of Sky,now understand how he attracts Wives at his tender age

    I will not subscribe to sky as I don't want to pay an extortionate sum to feed their Obsession with owning all sport. Also I don't like to pay to watch adverts, if I pay then I don't want adverts.

    Glad that you are on the road to recovery, oldfrenchhorn. Watford dominated the first half and played some good football. Both goals were scored in the first half. The first goal followed a mix up between the Luton goalkeeper and a central defender. Doumbia nipped in to win the ball and was fouled by the goalkeeper. Dele-Bashiru scored the penalty with a shot placed in the corner. Chakvetadze dribbled past a defender and crossed along the ground (in front of the goal) for Kayembe to run in and score the second, which was a very nicely worked goal. Watford sat back in the second half, but they were never really threatened by Luton. Three of Watford's bsck four had to be substituted (due to injury) in the second half and these changes probably disrupted Watford's team play. Luton looked a poor side and one could see the reason why they are bottom of the Championship.
