On Tuesday, St George's Day, Saints are playing under the floodlights for the last time this season against the might of Watford FC, a team whose honours include: League Division four champions 1977-78 League Division three champions 1968-69 League Division two champions 1997-98 We’re coming into this with nine points from the last six games but fresh from a 3-1 defeat at St James’s Park on Saturday Possible team line up for Saints is eleven players chosen from the current squad. Possible team line-up for Watford is similar. Note that Troy Deeney, whether he looks like he’s eaten another player or not, counts as only one player. Troy was born in Birmingham and is a former bricklayer, for you pub-quizzers out there (you know who you are). Match officials: Referee: Mike Dean Assistants: Ian Hussin, Dan Robathan Fourth official: Lee Probert With a bit of luck they might come with their glasses on this time and be able to see if anyone punches the ball into the net. Unless it's James Ward-Prowse now that he's gone over to the Dark Side. Most of the information below is from the excellent Watfordopedia, the indispensable global repository for Watford facts Watford is the home town of: Michael Bentine out of the Goons Cyril Fletcher, him from That’s Life Phil Glenister out of Life on Mars Vinnie Jones the footballer/thug turned actor Geri Haliwell Dirty Spice out of the Spice Girls Simon Le Bon sun-bleached front man of Duran Duran Sarah McColl whom I fancied immensely at university but never asked out Rotary photogravure was first used in Watford.
Interestingly Watford lost the appeal against the 3 game ban but the ban wasn’t increased. Don’t understand that.
Bans only get increased for stupid appeals. For example if Deeney had punched someone in the face or head butted someone.
It only takes one dodgy result to bring me down to Earth As I said before I can see any result happening, but I am sure we will get some points out of the remaining games but feel unable to pick which ones.
I always think of Watford as something you would say if your low sports car got waterlogged and stuck whilst going across a stream...
