Fake memory, I think, in this case. Kelso definitely exists. He went to Watford and Ricky Grammar Schools and he lived and worked for a good many years in Scotland. Including, I believe, Kelso. Last time I saw him, earlier this year, he was living in Rickmansworth.
Travelled up on my own from Wiltshire for this one, it's bloody freezing. Shotgunning red wine so I don't feel the cold. Watford 0 - 1 Cardiff.
How are Cardiff doing in the Welsh league? Will this inter-league cup match give Javi a moment to rest some first teamers?
I think he was working at the club. Has he left the forum or was he pushed? Or did @wfcmoog just feel he’d developed the character as much as he could?
Cleverley's in the match day squad. Be good to see him hopefully make the bench. Does make you wonder though what will happen to Chalobah with Capoue returning next week and the emergence of Quina.

On the plus side, when we inevitably lose this to some sort of calamitous defending from a corner we won’t have to pay the ludicrous £6.50 toll to go and see us try and get our win back at their place. Still doesn’t make Wales in the least bit appealing though.
Wtf 3 great goals, totally dominant , how did they score 2 (one was a great goal though) We looked superb , but it might have been them making us look good, who knows. I thought their goal keeper was man of the match
Their 2nd shouldn't have stood according to SSN. Clear offside apparently... Becoming a regular thing these decisions (at the risk of sounding like HB1)
The last 10 minutes aside, I thought we were absolutely superb today. Almost a complete performance. Three brilliant goals, not sure which one was the best, they were all worthy for goal of the month. On to West Ham now, would love it if Quina popped up with another winning goal. That'll go down well. Big big win.
Officials really have had it in for us lately - Bamba was miles offside for their second goal. Thankfully this time we didn't pay for a bad decision. Quina - what a promising player, has a bit of everything. So composed on the ball, he's really showing up Doucoure's inconsistent and limited passing alongside him. Also, it's amusing when the commentators keep going on about him perhaps being hindered by his age and lack of physicality, at the same time as he's getting stuck in and winning tackles here, there and everywhere. Has to keep his place for his return to West Ham. Capoue in for Sema. Three great goals, all of which passed Deeney by (as did the game in general). Success was disappointing after coming on though. Deulofeu seems to have remembered how to finish right at the same time as Pereyra seems to have forgotten. Still, getting back to winning ways is what matters most. We go again!!
Biggest surprise of the lot...thought Sema had a pretty good game today. Much quicker than usual. Maybe there is a player in there.
Played well, defending was pretty awful for the goals...that result completely flattered them. Quina was amazing Delofeu was very good, still needs to be aware of what's around him. Take the 3 points but not elated as they are a pub team.
Yep in the build up to their second, one of their forwards was about a yard offside. Nothing even marginal about it. Great game for Deulofeu and Quina. Looks like we're starting to see the best of Ken now too. He's getting up to pace. It looked like he was really enjoying himself against some less-accomplished defenders than we usually come up against.
Doucs was generally poor today, yet again. He must have given the ball away 20 times. I have been his biggest fan, but he needs to get dropped in my opinion. I think Chalobah needs to come back and get some game time, with Capoue back and Quina keeping his place. It won't happen though.
