    The railway is totally shut between Euston and Hemel. There aren't trains at all at Watford, Harrow, etc. So it's central London and then the Met Line.

    Sounds like Clive’s old hombres are doing their bit for the Orns.

    IF we win this surely JG is going to be at the forefront of being manager of the season?

    He would almost certainly win the Watford manager of the season award, coming well clear of second placed Paulo Unremarkable brought in from Serie C in Italy in December, who in turn will be well clear of Alan Pardew, appointed in February.

    Remember the Watford Manager of the Month comp?

    Wasn’t Sannino the top performer?

    Excellent. May get the met line on Sunday for a bit of egg & chips baiting.

    Tough game to call, we always play well against them overall but for some reason they seem to get the result over us, be it
    from a dodgy ref call or a scruffy goal. Deeney, Gray to start again and if we score early then keeping the pressure should
    see us through.

    I would probably take a draw here, which would suit both teams this early in the season as every point counts in this
    league, but if we really do have title ambitions we have to win home games against relegation certs. :p

    Manager of the Month to be avoided at all costs. Death knell to our form if not always our manager. Might need to pray for a 1 - 1 draw now! Also cousin GT are we now the NEW Stripey Nigels with our natty strip?

    With Knockeart and Zaha appearing so early we've got no hate figures left to look forward to - apart from Silva, of course. Have I forgotten anyone?

    Unless Troy has been briefed on their seat number beforehand, all should be fine.

    Manager of the month whilst his highness on the south coast is in the hunt? Don’t make me laugh.

    Was reading their forum because I'm sad, was interesting to hear that their lot that dress in black in the corner have disbanded - something about not being able to move into the middle behind the goal and move season ticket holders.

    You had me sold at "Stripey Nigels".
    Would be very pleasant to get a result against our arch-rivals here. Especially as our points potential looks limited for the next couple of games.
    Hopefully Deulofeu is in the squad, I think we'll look more balanced with him on the right than Hughes (though I am a big fan of his in a more central position).
    Slim-fit Deeney will cut through their defence like a hot knife through low-calorie sunflower spread and Gray will shin in a hat-trick.
    Zaha to grab a controversial consolation, of course, then be dead-legged by Holebas who will shockingly escape with only a caution.
    3-1 to the orns.

    Yes, a possible contender. More of a low level irritant than a full-on hate figure though, I think, but he does have the potential to develop his role

    Not concerned about the trains, but is there anywhere to get egg and chips ?

    Bus replacement service between Hemel and Watford Junction, just concerned that the bus will not be able to take all the passengers, beings there's football on.

    I hear the Wetherspoons might be a good place to head for some egg and chips, you can wash it down with a pissy tasting fosters as well.

    We play like top 4 contenders the first half of the season and relegation certs after Xmas.

    It’s the Watford way.

    As it’s still before Xmas we’ll win this 2-1.

    There was reference to this last week https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/17/roy-hodgson-holmesdale-fanatics-crystal-palace
    Palace fans also on twitter saying the lack of noise was noticeable against Liverpool.
