    I've said it throughout the season so I'll say it again, I think it could well have a lot to do with WM's training methods and the sacking of Richard Collinge.

    Training methods yes, Richard Collinge, not so much. They bought in the Italian doctor, so the injuries are basically down to lack of recovery time.

    If this is not a rhetorical question Philippine, then I think the answer is 'No'

    These odds for a home team are not common, the scenario is not common, but these odds for this scenario are common :p

    Got to agree with you Norway, Citeh have started to put some performances together over recent weeks I'm pretty sure they will go for all 3 points to secure 3rd place and save themselves that early season qualifying champions league fixture. Hopefully we can say farewell to Wally with a bit of dignity and not boo him, and the players put on a no fear performance and don't get stuffed

    If we keep it under six, we will have done well.

    True but it's also rare to have a side with no centerbacks whatsoever

    I am interested to see the crowd's reaction to Nutty Walt and the team today.

    I hope we remain respectful towards Walt,as whilst I don't believe he is "more sinned against than sinning" he certainly shouldn't be scapegoated.

    How will Holebas obtain his inevitable booking?

    Throwing the ball at Silva,kicking Augero,kicking Deeney,kicking a ball boy?

    With all of our CB's out/knocks/fitness tests, what's the plan? Stick Mapps and Britos in and see how long they hold out? Or go for a wonderfully ill disciplined pairing of LWB Holebas and CM Behrami....

    Going up against a 'motivated to come 3rd' Aguero/Silva/De-Bruyne /Jesus/Sterling with no defence to speak of, A French winger who doesn't want to be here, a captain who hates the guy in charge and a manager that has already been sacked.

    Hard not to be lumping money on an absolute battering today.

    Quite excited about this game for a change.

    Even if we get battered seeing the likes of Silva, Jesus, Sane, De Bruyne & Aguero in full flow is going to be beautiful!

    Win, draw or lose, I think this might be Mazzarri's last game in charge.

    Janmaat, Behrami and Holebas at centre back. Hilarious.

    Bahahahaha. At least we're playing the kids. One of them. Fairly sure Success was left out just out of spite.

    All I hope now is that he puts Gilmartin upfront on the 80th min and Holebas gets his 15th booking. Judging by this team he's picked, we might as well kick the crap out their players, get the game abandoned for too many red cards and automatically lose 3-0. That scoreline will be more respectable than the one that is about to get handed to us if we play the full 90.

    I bet Guardiola hasn't drilled them for this Watford line up. 2-1 the 'orns.

    Gilmartin on the bench? Does Mazzarri hate 3CR as well?

    I thought this was a bad joke when you wrote it. Massive slap in the face for every non goalkeeper not picked in the team.

    The Watford twitter just posted... MAZZARRI ON KEEPERS: "We needed to cover a hole and Gilmartin is an exceptional guy so he can be on the bench." #watfordfc

    He really doesn't give two...

    It's like he's seen the chance to earn the club a few million trying to move up the league and stuck 2 fingers up at Gino, the players and the fans haha.

    Hahaha, I can see Mazzarri sticking his middle finger at the Rookery as we're 7-0 down.
