    Well that was surprisingly great - apart from conceding another goal a corner, that was beautiful.

    Started the season with Deeney in my fantasy team every year for the last three - gave up on him this year, gets a goal and assist GWK2 :(

    Excellent win. I know what people will say, they'll bring up Burnley and the fatigue from playing Thursday, but they did rest quite a few players. They did look poor, but we deserve massive credit for dominating them second half, given how they've looked in other games, I think they'll be alright in the end.

    We really do play some excellent stuff, this could be our year (whatever that means) if we avoid the injury plague we've suffered last two years

    Just watched the interview with Dyche on Sky Sports. He’s really embarrassed himself and actually came across as quite bitter on a few topics. Unfortunately for him he’s reached the ceiling with that team and is showing signs of cracking.

    I bet Jug Ears on MOTD blames Europa Cup fatigue for Burnley's defeat. They were playing seven men who did not play on Thursday, but let's not let the facts get in the way. God forbid he might admit Watford were the better sidr.

    I think they should express an interest in approaching Marco Sssssilva

    So, if Brighton beat united by two goals and we beat brighton by two goals does that mean were four goals better than Man U?

    Yes I would think so. Man Utd at time of writing scored three conceded three - gives them a zero goal difference. Add ours against the 2 vs Brighton.

    Your right, then get the person sitting next to you to give you a hand under the blanket on the coach.

    That's the second week in a row that relegation certainties Watford have made a fantastically well run club, managed by an excellent 'young' English manager, who made some great summer signings and are definitely destined to finish the season in the mid to top half of the table, look sh1te. What is going on? Please tell us Jug Ears, Lawro, Merson, Murphy etc etc etc

    I said we needed 7 points from the first three games. 6 points from two games is excellent.
    Yet another headed goal scored against us. Foster was at fault. He must dominate the 6 yard box, this he failed to do.
    We need a central defender asap. We all know that.

    IMO: Two year deal for Mariappa? A crazy decision. League 1 is his level.

    I am sure Deeney is having a pop towards the end of that celebration. Maybe he reads this forum

    Great win :)
    Negative point: Look how many headers Burnley win in our penalty box. Far too many. We have not addressed this issue at all.

    Ha ha! Reassuring that even after back to back wins and two cracking performances there are those prepared to dig deep to find something to grumble about. Keeps our feet on the ground

    On the way home on the M1. That ridiculously early start was well worth it, days like this stay long in the memory.
    Watch out for me and my lad after Deeney scores!

    EIEIEIOOO up the football league we go. Thought Deeney was looking sharp and his commitment was immense. Great to win away again and still yet to see Gerrard and Chalobah. You can only beat what’s in front of you and we were fortunate Burnley never took those chances in first half. But overall solid defending they were put under a constant bombardment today. To go there and score 3 only spuds have done that recently I’ve read today is awesome. Who predicted that score? I fancied our chances but not by that much. Have to hope Javi doesn’t get his head turned by manure.

    To put into context our fine start the points total for the previous three seasons of our first three games!
    are 3, 1 and 4 respectively, this just shows with Palace to come next Sunday what a fantastic start we have made!
