    Almunia dodgy hamstring

    Close their defenders down at goal kicks so he has to smash it

    Bond broken nose

    Get an early corner and get Wes to clatter him

    Bonham butter fingers

    Shoot on sight

    <ok>

    Exactly what I was thinking! Would be telling our attackers to close their defenders down in open play as much as poss if almunia is playing to force pass backs

    Well done Prod, you do of course now realise that their dodgy keeper will play and have a complete blinder. <doh>

    Id rather they didnt have their best players, dont care if they bleat as long as we beat them.

    No doubt they are bleating about their bad luck that stopped them getting the auto spot.

    ... certainly were some 'heated' exhanges with Leeds fans on their board - revolving mostly around their keeper's injury and how Poleon nudged Anya into the keeper on purpose - many hornets brought out the 'dirty Leeds' tag, seemingly in denial that it was one of theirs, Troy Deeney, who got a red card in the game... responses from the Leeds fans thereon rather predictable LOL

    How important to all watfords loan players who WONT be there next season is this game ?

    Not as important as it is for Leicester City players who may have chance of premier league football in my opinion.

    Leicester City WILL be in the final .

    Come on You Foxes do it for everyone on not606 Leicester City.

    You could put a spin on it that the Watford loans are looking to earn a permanent contract at a prem club, although they probably know there will be less repercussion if they don't make it.

    He didnt "nudge" him, he gave him as hard a shove as he possibly could. Intending to cause a collision and for the ball to be spilled. Thats what has annoyed us so much, he intended to make the two players collide and therefore its dangerous. Most of us accept that Deeney getting sent off was the downfall, however we also know we should have had a penalty before that even happened. That would have made it 1-0 and they would have had 10 men. It was a game changer.

    Shows how little you know. The club are going to sign those players who are good enough to play for us and they all care more about the club than most players these days. You can see it and hear it when you talk to them.

    It was 'just' a nudge.

    But the speed they were running at, along with the goalkeeper rushing out (not showing any sign of taking control) meant that a slight arm in the back was all it took.


    If anyone was at fault then it was probably the keeper.

    Are you thick??? Bond at fault?? He had the ball in his hands when Anya collided with him!!! How was he not showing sign of control?? He made the one consistent move towards the ball.

    He put his whole body behind it intending to make the two collide and possibly spill the ball. He then has the nerve to walk up to Bond, who is lying curled up (possibly unconscious) and nudge the ball as if he thought he could play on.

    Watch it properly, without your yellow-tinted specs.


    Bond shows ZERO sign of control. He doesn't make any commanding movements. He's waiting for Anya to clear it for him. If he'd rushed out rather than sort of jogging not knowing what to do then the ball would have been cleared and nobody would have been hurt.

    He put half an arm behind it and he's perfectly entitled to try and get the ball. The referee didn't blow his whistle.
