    Agreed...must start as you mean to go on. Nothing should clash with home fixtures. Leaving holiday cottage this morning to ensure back in good time for build up tomorrow. One small tip - ensure you take the earpiece for radio commentary out before you say your vows! All the best mate for tomorrow and looks like you'll have good weather for the photos etc.

    Who the hell gets married in this day and age? Will you be feeding a hundred parasites out of your own pocket too afterwards?

    Are you doing all the God nonsense?

    Drive thru in vegas with a chinese elvis delivering the vows for me, or nothing.

    I suspect nothing will be the likely outcome.

    I'd be very careful about what you type if I were you. I am regarded as a highly dangerous individual and am capable of dastardly levels of violence against my adversaries.

    She's up for the parachuting elvises and would also like RC to come and do a reading.

    Sounds like a keeper.

    Like Gilmartin, she'll probably give you expert commentary on what you're doing wrong.

    Cheapskates.

    They should at least bring their own, instead of borrowing Chelsea's.

    Does anyone know when the last time we won in the game before the international break?

    It seems that we always seem to win the game after the break but lose the one before.

    I think...stress...think, the first international break last season. After that it was defeat on each subsequent break.

    Last season we lost to Arsenal before the first international break. I believe the last time we won a match before an international break was February 2016 when we won away at Crystal Palace.

    I have quite a bit of respect for Brighton & Hove, their fans have been through a lot and many stuck with the club through some very dark times. They lost their Goldstone Ground because of incompetent ownership, had to groundshare miles and miles away at Gillingham (lord have mercy), and played for years at a poorly converted athletics track that was wholly insufficient for league football. I can only imagine what it must have been like to finally get to move into Falmer after so long without the basic amenities enjoyed at other clubs.

    Of course, I'd still love to beat them on Saturday, but I truly hold no animosity towards their club and indeed sympathize with them over their difficult history and their constant need to defend their LGBTQ population from the abuse of other fanbases. I think we can manage three points here, I believe Silva has the coaching ability to get the best out of our players and having Doucouré and Chalobah back in the starting lineup will be a huge boost to our chances. I can't decide if I'd rather see Gray or Okaka up top, as I think it depends on the likelihood of Okaka being able to outmuscle and push around the Brighton defence. As long as it isn't Deeney we stand a chance of a result.

    The left-back quandary is an interesting one. On one hand, I would prefer the relative experience of Djedje even if he is more naturally positioned on the other side. On the other, Mason may not get another game this soft to earn a start in the Premier League. Brighton are incredibly poor going forward and I can't think of another situation other than Brighton at home that is best suited to easing Mason into the backup LB role.

    My prediction: 3-0 to the Hornets. Goals from Richarlison, Gray, and Femenía.

    I may be wrong, but I believe the plural of Elvis is Elvisae.

    I'm 2 out of 2 just not predicted the correct score so far. I'll hopefully be right with the prediction again this week and not the correct score again, I'll go Watford 1Brighton 0

    I like Brighton, their fans are friendly and not up themselves, I like Houghton, I like the ground, I like the town.

    But if they think they will survive with the likes of Bruno, Duffy etc then they really need to think again. Vydra and Deeney were running rings around these two 5 year ago.

    Can't see past a home win. Especially after the Bristol fiasco, Silva doesn't come across as the forgiving type.

    Don't badmouth the parasites - they usually fund the honeymoon these days. No more cop outs with the Yogurt Maker or the AA Guide to British Villages...

    Not only is Iriney a defensive midfielder, we also sold him. No chance of him playing in a front three m8.

    Noticed Brighton didn't complete the deal for their new striker - he failed a medical.

    A win tomorrow will put us top of the league for a good 30 minutes or so. Buzzing for this.

    1-1, Chalobah, and a late equaliser from Dunk.
