    What a coincidence. The Grove have a 4am firework display planned. I hope that doesn't disturb the City team too much.

    Hopefully Warner Bros studios do lots of massive explosions tonight.

    I am a great believer in the premise that history doesnt repeat , but it rhymes.

    And so Im predicting that Andre Gray will elbow their keeper in the neck whilst scoring from a cross.

    Just need to Ederson to change his name overnight by deed poll to " Stevre Sharwood"

    Cant like this enough.

    The Japanese have the craziest sense of humour. Absolutely brilliant

    Using ultra-negative, Mourinho-esque tactics seems quite the reverse of "over confident" to me. Very surprising from City. Hopefully it's a good sign that they're nervous.

    Does anyone know if 1881 will be decking out our third of the stadium in flags again? Or should we bring our own?

    To be pedantic, Sharwood & Sherwood don’t exactly rhyme unless you have a North Lancashire accent.

    So if they win, they’ll be out on the razz in Watford!

    Does Bailey’s still exist?

    To be even more pedantic, surely Sharwood would be a West Country interpretation of Sherwood

    Guys at work were talking about how many goals man city would get. they were talking 4,5,6. Being the only Watford fan in the room I said "Watford can win but they would have to take all their chances and if they do I think they will win 4-3". They thought I was smoking something but I said you never know in football.
    Then I had a bet on the scoreline at 400-1. lol. had to really once I said it. ;)

    Two of my favourite quotes about hope:

    Norman Cousins - ''The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.''
    Samuel Smiles - ''Hope is the companion of power, and mother of success; for who so hopes strongly has within him the gift of miracles.''

    Everyone at my office (spurs, man utd and everton) were convinced we would do them. They all felt City have a defeat coming.

    It could also be that they're utterly afraid of saying anything that might upset me.

    Thanks mate. An inexplicable belief that something glorious may happen survived the journey.

    Welcome to blighty, but hasn't your living in the US coincided miraculously with Watford soaring to new heights?

    Yeah. My only Pozzo games have been a despicable Boxing Day defeat against Wolves under Joka, and then the sickening flop at home to Swansea during the dog **** days of Silva.

    Not looking great is it. My optimism remains though. All terrible runs must end at some point.

    David, the saving grace is that no graphing will be necessary tomorrow.

    I wonder who our forum Dahlberg is?
