On a complete sidenote, I think "bet of the year" is in Segunda Division today. Sure, Cadiz already got their promotion secured and Girona is chasing a playoff spot... but 7.50 on a league leader to win is something you wont see many times..

Current Form:
Cadiz P6 W2 D2 L2
Girona P6 W3 D2 L1

Girona only lost 2 home matches all season

I wonder if the fans on Watford forums are arguing over the definition of a must-win game like on here?

For what it's worth, I'd classify this more as a must-not-lose game for them. A draw still puts them 4 points clear and I can't see Bournemouth beating Southampton, who have been one of the in-form sides since restart.


I think with the possibility of them leaking goals against City and Arsenal, there GD might not be enough to protect them from a WD from either Villa or PLB.
They would still be in with a good shout, but if Plucky pick up a point against Saints, then they need to keep the score below 3 against City and hope Villa lose against Arsenal.

Watford win for me, please. It could set up a dream end of season game, loser loses all, between Villa and the dildo brothers' mob.

I believe you don't have a soul, if you don't want West Ham relegated. :lolol:

Yeah about 22 years in my case - obviously you mean that bloke isn't wearing a wedding ring and therefore not getting nagged to turn it over to Coronation Street.

Watford win for me.
Then plucky beat Saints, Villa beat Arsenal, Watford lose to Citeh and West Ham lose to United.

That would leave West Ham, Villa and Bournemouth all on 34 points going into their final games with Watford 3 points ahead on 37, West Ham and Villa both have to go for it but hopefully it ends in a draw, while Bournemouth score an injury time winner at Everton to send Both West Ham and Villa down.

Watford would still be heavy favourites to stay up with a 4 point advantage over Villa and Plucky though, so tonight isn’t must-win for them.

Erm ...... we play B’Muff next season and form says we’ll be lucky to get a point. Where as with West Ham, you always imagine 6 points is possible.

This is a massive game for both clubs.

Although a draw would edge both teams ahead, i think they both have to go for it.

To be honest, I can't call it but obviously a WH win would be my choice.

Absolutely. Which is why I’d like to see Watford get a point tonight, as Saints seem to be in good form so I’m fairly confident that they will beat, and relegate, them on Sunday.

With the form Antonio is in, I would be very surprised if you don't win.

I hope you and Watford stay up. You are both;

A, Nearer

B, Tend to give us points. :thumbsup:

C: Aren’t Villa and their arrogant fans

D: Aren’t managed by Smug.

I don’t know if I’m just getting older and grumpy but this ‘catchphrase’ is so cringeworthy.
