Assuming Riza lasts until Sunday he will be returning to Vicarage Rd where he was a coach under Valérien Ismaël. Riza left the club after Ismaël was sacked following the defeat to Coventry mentioned above. Watford have not lost at home since.

Is the game live on Sky? I didn’t think it was and it’s not listed on the TV football site I use. Not listed on Sky’s own website either.

No red button games for the 3pm kick offs so I presume same rules as if a Saturday 3pm.

That's a relief.

I do not believe Sunday's 3pm EFL games are being shown on "red button". The early kick offs are. The Leicester City v Man City premier league game is being shown as in Rangers v Millwall.

Can we keep it below 6 ?

I'm not sure now. I based that on info when Sky first announced the TV games. I've changed the list.

Believe it or not, but bookings have been brisk today, to the point of putting on another coach (that’s a bus like coach, not a coaching type coach) :xmashehe:

Can I give them 14 quid on the inevitability that we’ll be 4 down and I’ll be leaving at half time

Public hangings used to be popular.

5-1 and that's me being positive and that doesn't happen too often.

They'll be on a high after their turnaround against Portsmouth

9 wins and 0 defeats from 11 at home in the league this season, puts them 2nd in the "home table", we of course are yet to win away from home

All signs pointing to a Cardiff victory...

My lad and his mate have just coerced me into going as its 'pay on the day' but it's cash only. Anyone know the cost so I can take enough shekels out of the hole in the wall?

City quite helpfully have taken that off their website.

My tickets online were £35 for an adult.

Went to Watford away, around this time of year, must have been about 20ish years ago, can’t even remember the result, I’m guessing we didn’t win.

Yeah, it's not being unduly pessimistic, it's just being realistic.
I don't think we'll be thrashed by 5 or 6 goals, simply because no Championship side has shown themselves to be clinical in of goal.

Just looked at the Championship table and Watford have conceded more goals than us :xmashehe:

Still going to be 6-0

Chambers starting in MIDFIELD
it’ll be more than 6 ☹️☹️☹️☹️

We need 32 points from 60. We need to start the charge soon… why not tomorrow???

Stranger things have happened, Trump??

Trump was nailed on when you consider the laughing hyena the daft orange c### was running against, plus Americans are thick.

we will not get 31 points from 160 games with this lot.

Alnwick
Kpakio Goutas Daland Bagan

Robertson Siopis

Ashford Colwill Robinson O'Dowda

4-2-4 just go gung-ho.

Chambers IS starting in the midfield 😨😨😨

There's nobody else I guess. Rino playing makes sense, anyone but Fish it seems :hehe:

It's shocking but I've literally given up on this season. I have absolutely no idea why Chambers hasn't been axed and continues to play.

Are Fish and Dalaand that bad? If so how much have we spent on those 2 and Tsunoda?

If only we had a highly rated young right back to play there

I’m going to be ridiculously optimistic and go for a 1-1 draw, with Watford equalising in the 9th minute of injury time

I'm going 6 nil as well.
