Yes, I'm thinking Argyle need to be brought down a peg or three.

Come on Watford!!!

Christ on a bike we made hard work of a draw this afternoon - thought we were dead and buried at half time; defensively we were all over the place. Should be an exciting tie at the lane Monday week.....

Well, not exactly a classic tonight, but as a Watford fan, who cares? Did what we had to do and we're in the hat. Cracking goal by Hamster as well. Pick that out!

Just about! I'm sure we can turn them over in the replay though, avenge the earlier premiership defeat

Watford didn't look like a premiership side at all - Lucky is how I would describe it. Foster is your biggest asset, and he's only on loan.

Still, we'll look forward to getting six points from you next season!

Well, as a Watford fan I'll be cheering on Middlesborough as we'll get absolutely stuffed by United.

(Probably get stuffed by Boro as well)

So frustrating watching Watford - I absolutely hate the style of play and quite frankly, it's embarrassing in the Premiership.

Looking forward to the day a Watford manager actually tries to get them playing to feet. Can live in hope.

Anyway...up or 'Orns!

It's not how, it's how many :-)

We're not a Premiership side and never will be, we're just a side (fleetingly) in the Premiership. Not as if we were going to turn round after the playoff final and say "you know what, we're not good enough to compete in the Premiership, so let someone else go up". Considering the mess Leeds are in, I don't suppose they'd have survived had they won instead of us, yet they're supposedly one of these "big" clubs that are good for the game. I just view it as a season long bank raid which is securing the future of the club (stadium redevelopment, better squad and so on) after some very lean times post the Vialli debacle. I haven't been to a single game this season, having previously had a season ticket for about five years and doing pretty much every away game for several seasons as well. Just don't enjoy the Premiership. Costs too much, there's too much hype and nonsense, a vast amount of arrogance amongst the fans and a generally feeling that people have lost track of reality. Going down will probably get me motivated to get back to the games, oddly enough.

We played awesome football to feet last season, why did we suddenly decide on this awful, awful tactic of hoof and hope mixed with not keeping possession at all this season?

On Sunday night we were decidedly 2nd fiddle and looked average 1st division at best.

Ok we've lost Carlisle, King and Young - but where's the ethos?!

Is anybody actually surprised that Chelsea / Man U were kept apart? It all seems a little too coincidental to me, especially considering that the same thing happened in the rehearsal draw. The stage is now set for the ‘dream final’ at the new Wembley.

Wouldn't exactly be too difficult to fix would it, even if the draw was live.

To be truthful it doesn't really matter, I'm just bitter that Blackburn didn't get Watford

How shite and diluted has our game become,i remember back to 1970 and the Chelsea v Leeds Utd final,there were so many more great charachters on the pitch and the game was full of events.
Totaly opposite to this over hyped rubbish ime watching at the moment.
