Hameur - Sur wurt chance orf curp glory fur zee golden boys? Aidy - Hameur. I have had a dream, a crazy dream of a match report. What can it portend?....... Sound of harp strings - Aidy dreaming GOLDEN GLORY IN FA CUP FINAL TRIUMPH. WENGER GETS KICK UP THE ARSE. It was yellow glory all the way as Watford deservedly triumphed in the 2017 FA Cup final. The match, played in Cardiff as Wembley Stadium failed to meet the deadline to be ready, was a classic as the Hertfordshire heros outgunned their more illustrious rivals. The match was a personal triumph for Aidy Boothroyd freshly returned to the club following the heights of success at Leeds and his catastrophic reign as England supremo which ended in the shame of 'Hendogate'. The event had everything including a touchline bust-up involving former striker, turned motivational speaker, Marlon King and an assistant referee, who claimed to have been abused by the former hornet hotshot, a charge less than hotly denied by Watford fans on that side of the pitch. The Yellows were fast out of the traps with top scorer Theo Robinson a constant threat. Robinson saw a snap shot sail just over following a centre by England full back Jordan Parkes. On 20 minutes the golden boys were ahead as former gunner Cesc Fabregas silenced Arsenal taunts of 'you're past it reject', by sliding Robinson in for number 1. The Hornets weren't to keep their lead for long. A pass from a french bloke to another french bloke, a brazilian bloke, a polish bloke and then on to a nigerian bloke led to the ball being walked into the net by the gunners. A knock to the goal scorer led to an intervention by the only english member of their squad, a fella with a sponge. The second half was an even affair but it was the Hornets who took the initiative when Ashley Young's little brother crossed for Robinson to head home from close range. From there on in it was an Arsenal onslaught as the Hornets defended too deep, a failing that left Boothroyd bemused after the game - 'we've never done that before and it won't happen again'. Finally the Gunners broke through with a spectacular bicycle kick cannoning off Watford captain Dominic Blizzard's head and finally going in off Adrian Mariappa'a backside. The tension was too much on the sidelines and eventually a bust up broke out on the touchline between an angry Wenger and a belligerent Boothroyd that soon engulfed both benches. A shocking as this was it was still funny enough for the PA announcer to put on the Benny Hill music to accompany it. Order restored Boothroyd made his last and decisive move bringing on veterans Anthony MacNamee and Darius Henderson. Warhorse Henderson, who had not scored since the 2006/07 season, was to prove decisive. The ball was played out to Macnamee. The tricky winger, who has been battling weight problems, made light of his reputed 15 and a half stone. It was like the old svelte Macca as he jinked past two defenders and placed a pinpoint cross on the head of Theo Robinson. Robinson's knock back was perfect for Henderson, but the striker, two yards out ballooned his shot. Luckily after a bit of what Neil Price could only describe as 'Bibbly bobbly' the ball fell for Robinson who completed a memorable hat-trick. After the final whistle there were scenes of yellow euphoria as Boothroyd and his assistant manager Tommy Smith ran onto the pitch. Smith said after 'Its been a triumph for all of us at the club and for me its especially memorable to do this with the club I have spent most of my career with and love deeply'. Smith confirmed that he would be at St James Park on Monday to take up the position of assistant manager. :]] These are the rules then, just predict the 11 starters and 5 subs for the Plymouth game and 300 horns could be yours!
