Re: The Watford match
In a word, No. They aren't particularly in form whilst we are playing well and getting good results. Hopefully have JBG back as well and I am quietly confident of getting a result down there.

Re: The Watford match
Burnley 7th in the form table v Watford 13th.
Leicester 8th in the form table v Newcastle in 9th.
The Geordies will get a point.

Re: The Watford match
Any score predictions?
I will go with a 2.1 win to the Clarets. That and a Leicester lose would be quite something!

Re: The Watford match
I'd be happy enough for Leicester to finish 7th - as long as we finish 6th and Arsenal 8th.... how good would that be?

Standard 2-1 Burnley win hopefully.
Re: The Watford match
My main worry is that ref and if Watford try the same antics as they did at t'Turf. Some of which was the most blatant fouling and diving in one game I've seen for a long time.

Re: The Watford match
Only worry was Richarlison back then but he didn't seem to fancy it when it was about -26 on the Turf. Hopefully we can keep him quiet. Him, Mahrez, Hazard and Shaqiri should be fun to deal with in the next few weeks.

Re: The Watford match
Watford will be a lot tougher than the woeful virtually relegated West Brom and also that toxic West Ham game where WH simply imploded . Both teams had good chances and if their confidence hadn’t been shot to pieces things could have been very different .That said we’re playing confidently and truly have Europe to play for as opposed to Watford who have only Troy and Andre’s “ two Watford players 1 cup” end of season party antics to look forward too

Re: The Watford match
Hell of a turn out that day for Waddle's first game against a team with Micah Hyde and wonder-kid (pre injuries) Gifton Noel-Williams. I think we left deflated but still full of hope, it took a short while longer for that hope to disappear.Herts Clarets wrote:Looking forward to a 4th win on the bounce.

My first visit was 1971/72 season, lost 2-1 with Jeff Parton making his debut in goal. I think Frank Casper got a late consolation goal for us.

Re: The Watford match
I remember the boiling hot day and the dire performance. And the home fans only pub on the corner behind the away end there was a little set to outside. One of their brave boys inside the pub decides he will give it the Gareth Hunt Nescafe shuffle sign at a Burnley fan walking past the pub, who promptly smashed his fist through the window.Lancasterclaret wrote:Aye, that was my first visit as well.

Re: The Watford match
Remember getting back to the car after the game in ridiculous temperatures and I had a nail in a tyre. I had my next door neighbour with me who was a lot older and had suffered a stroke and my nephew and his mate who were both kids. That left me to do the wheel change on my own. I wouldn't have minded had we won.

Re: The Watford match
Was it 7 games without a goal? I also went to Southend where we lost without scoring. And Brentford where we lost to a last minute Raply goal but at least scored. I at least got free tickets for that one - a bloke I knew through work was related to Ron Noades so got me a couple of complimentaries.ClaretTony wrote:Hell of a turn out that day for Waddle's first game against a team with Micah Hyde and wonder-kid (pre injuries) Gifton Noel-Williams.

The only Sun that came out that day would have been a newspaper. I was thankful i hadnt travelled that far,though my mate Steve Baldwin had come down from Burnley for the weekend. I am guessing that was late 2000 or early 2001?Shappie wrote:I can remember going there and it being called off at 3.15

Brentford? Mark Ford goal?
I was on a bus back to Ealing broadway full of celebrating Brentford fans. I was quietly fuming and staring into space.

That was the one. Sure that Kevin Rapley's winner was an overhead kick infront of the away fans. I lived about 10 minutes away from Ealing so managed to get away from the ground and home in no time.Lancasterclaret wrote:Brentford? Mark Ford goal?

Around November 2000 and we won 1-0 when it was finally played with Gareth Taylor's first Burnley goal.Shappie wrote:I can remember going there and it being called off at 3.15

I wasn't feeling too well so came out of the pub and got into the ground before the rain came. I've never seen anything like it and the players warming up had to run for cover. It was finally called off but had they left it another 10 mins or so they'd have been able to play with no problem. The rain disappeared as quickly as it came and out came the sun.

Re: The Watford match
Just to add to the link. Today is our 15th wedding anniversary and on our wedding day Burnley were at home to Watford. In between formalities someone asked if i had heard the score, this being pre internet phone days. It's Burnley 4........ I thought not only are the weather gods smiling on me with 20+degrees of Devon sunshine, so are the footballing ones. Then the Watford score was revealed.ClaretTony wrote:Disgraceful behaviour Herts
