    Complete breath of fresh air.
    I don’t think Watford are/were relegation material. They got off to a bad start (could happen to most teams), and then took the ludicrous decision to sack Gracia after just four (4!) rounds. Gracia took them to their best PL position ever, and to the FA cup final last season. They then appointed Flores, whom they’ve sacked before, and did so again.

    So bad decisions by those in charge and injuries to key players (Deeney among others) explain why they were bottom of the league, imo.

    That said, I think they perform as you’d expect them to now.

    I can understand what you are saying SB but when they trashed Bournmouth to jump two places and out of the drop zone that to me was what we could be enjoying, dont think Watford are a better club and their man management leaves something to be desired....(wait for it)....for sure...

    You make some good points there. It's one thing for a new manager to go into dressing room of talented footballers and get more out of them quite another to quite another to sustain it over a full season and continue to get the best out of them (think Solskjær as just one example of many similar.) That said they have made a fantastic start and if it helps relegate our neighbours........

    I haven’t got a clue about cricket, to me, totally inexplicable. They play for days and no one wins... 😎

    It's all very straightforward. Starting with the easy stuff here is how to bowl a chinaman.

    When you've grasped that we'll move on to the difference between silly mid on and silly mid off, short leg and long leg.
