    I was there, the first of our 3-0 wins, before that a couple of 2-0 wins and before that a 1-0 Endean v Liverpool

    Every one of them were great days to be a Hornet

    Just received the 100 Years at Vicarage Road book. If you have the chance to get your hands on a copy, it is well worth it. The photographs and recollections will bring many memories back, or if you are younger, show what things were like in the past. The early days of floodlights show how gloomy it was then, but we thought they were wonderful.

    Both he and the team really. After he had shown some real early promise too. So what do we do now - start Ismaël Koné tomorrow (not to mention Martins)?

    Apparently it is against EFL rules for Watford to field a team of 11 fit players, players wearing surgical boots are also excluded as the opposition players may hurt themselves while trying to cripple the the injured Watford players

    And it actually feels like I am not joking

    No - but I was at the reverse fixture earlier in the season. Six of us stood behind the goal in the home end, oblivious to the angry looks from disgruntled home fans as we made their team look distinctly second rate.

    Pretty sure I was. I missed Birmingham, Swansea, West Brom, and Sunderland away that season. That's it.

    No. Kenny Jackett at the end of the first half.
    I was there when Sherwood scored though, the following season.
