Three in a row? Pozzotively. No sting in this tale!

I wish I could still get moved to anger by sport.

I follow so many guff sides/teams on the slide that I can't get moved to anything more than that cold numbness of inevitable disgust.

But we're doing well lately. So against better judgement The Seer predicts a loss this week.

Sorry :(

A bit more than "seems to be"
P11, W1, D3, L7 - in league competition.
Only win 2007 in the Prem (and one win in the cup in 2006)
Amazing how some teams have the hoodoo on others.
Yep, just discussing that at work today: thanks to a last-minute overhead kick this weekend, St Etienne haven't won a home Derby du Rhone against Lyon in 20 years.

Went to that game. Ran out of petrol on the M6 on the way home. A nice way to finish a great day out. :roll:

Cautiously, I'll predict an against all odds win. Narow, maybe, but a win anyway.

My only trip to Watford was many moons ago in a League Cup tie. Bournemouth game aside, it was the only time I ever saw Paul Comstive do anything of any note. A late equalizer that sent us through on aggregate.

I'd be happy with another draw next week

This was where I saw my first away win, on about the 26th attempt.

That's actually a very good call LLS, went to the Palace game last season and that was a good game but ended 0 - 0 no good reason as to why this game wont be similar iMO
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

There's every reason Dan. What has Palace got to do with us playing Watford, got to do with this game? What's last season got to do with anything?

I credited the wind for those 2 goals against Bournemouth.
His late miss against Tranmere at Wembley was notable as well, for all the wrong reasons.

Went to that one too. It was something of a giant killing at the time. :?

I remember that '93 result well too. i was lying on my mum and dad's sofa dying of teenage man flu. At 3-0 I felt well again. After a series of sickening GMR updates, I felt decidely unwell again.

Are you better yet ???


I was painting window frames outside, ogling the 30'odd year old gardening opposite from me, was aware it was 3-0 and believing all was well with the World as I turned the radio on for the final scores. I blame James Alexander Gordon to be honest.

Moments like that are only available to fans of certain clubs. Others simply wouldn't understand.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Anyone see btw that Chungy captained South Korea and scored the winner against Switzerland in their friendly?

Bet he comes back knackered and jetlagged though :(
