    Yes it's a match day thread. I've made it which means an inevitable loss.

    Well this is a true heavy weight bout

    packed full of class and all the silky skills one would expect from such a titanic class of footballing super powers.

    I'm going put my neck on the line and say we win. Failing that scrape a draw as we have no forwards. None.

    Interesting facts about Watford:


    The Characters Will McKenzie and Simon Cooper better known as half of the Inbetweeners, live in Edinburgh Drive, Abbots Langley.


    Simon Le Bon, lead singer of Duran Duran, was born in Watford.

    Watford is referenced in the following songs: The Prisoner by The Clash, Albion by Babyshambles, Lesson One by Just Jack, Watford John by Badfinger and I Love London by Crystal Fighters.

    Well this match day thread is different <laugh>. We've settled in to the Premier League pretty well (certainly better than I had feared) and I'll be watching tomorrow in hope more than expectation. Sure your injury list must be a worry for you but I'm not going to get carried away with it as I daresay you'll have something for us to worry about!

    Safe journey to those of you making the trip.

    I am actually coming toward Watford today, as am coming to London for the weekend where hopefully I can avoid being bombed

    So no striker then. Should be entertaining.

    The game being entertaining is a foregone conclusion. A veritable footballing dream of attacking sideways football.

    I can see UTD scoring 4, as we have no strikers fit

    hhh used to be dull when we had strikers .. now we are even without one
    I can see him playing Fellaini .. so expect lots of long balls flying around

    Fellaini is injured so no chance of that happening ;) Long balls v/s passing on the floor. Whatever he does LVG can't win.

    I can see some hard to watch 75% possession football in the first half. Second half, better tempo and 1-0 from a Mata pen. he says hopefully.

    No but I suspect he wont play despite my dedicated avitar. Depay will be up front imo.

    Unless Young plays up front. No chance of getting a pen if he does :(

    Lawrenson says Man Utd like to defend deep lol has he even watched any United game in the last 18 months? Man Utd play a high line and press from the front.

    Jones, Young and Blind all starting. No idea who is playing where across the back 4. Darmian and Rojo on the bench.

    Depay up front, Wilson hasn't made the bench.

    I'd take a 0-0 draw.
