    Thanks TVoR.
    By the way, after the results of the other matches it's now official that we are safe.
    Even if we lose last game and end with other teams with same points, we are better in all head-to-head matches (which is the discriminant in case of same points, not goal difference like in Premier).

    Okaka was very helpful since he came and I hope he stays. We were missing a striker of that sort, not very prolific with goal maybe, but very physical, useful in keeping ball and in helping the team.

    Pleased to see you safe.
    I have the feeling you could see 1 or 2 more Watford players in the summer.

    In that case maybe you should send Okaka back to us after all, but can he last 90 mins? As that was his main problem playing for us IMO

    Sherlock, how does Pozzo assess his investment approach to Udinese each year?

    Just sufficient to stay up?

    Spent all the money on the stadium?

    How does your wage bill compare in Seria A?

    Any lessons for Watford?

    Solid 12th for Udi.

    Fantastic result!

    Excellent to see Wilmot get 6 mins & use one of them to get booked.

    No Okaka!

    In cottonwool for pre season?

    12th with Stef & Z Man equates to top 4 with a normal team.

    Tudor was called as coach in April 2018, with Udinese fighting to stay up.
    Had 4 games. 7 points gained. Safety obtained. Mission accomplished. Not confirmed for following season.

    Called again in March 2019, with Udinese fighting to stay up.
    Had 10 games. 18 points gained. Safety obtained. Mission accomplished.

    This time the Pozzo's have confirmed him and we'll see him for a whole season (hopefully) and with him at helm in pre-season.
    I'm really curious and hopeful about him.
    It's all about finding a good coach, as you well know after seeing what Gracia did.

    Do you think Udi will take any of the Watford squad?

    Hopefully Udinese can secure Champions League football once again.

    It’ll certainly soften the blow of our impending relegation and subsequent plunge down the football league.

    I hate those monstrous kunts udinese as much as the next man, but it seems way too harsh to impose any of our hapless terds on them.

    Udinese winning against AC Milan.

    Ken Sema has just come on. Probably glad he left the bunch of losers that are Watford

    At least one part of team Pozzo know how to win.

    100% record.

    Maybe WFC should be enquiring about available talent.

    Not necessarily on a permanent basis.

    Uncle Ken helped them...

    They had a crap season last time whilst we did well so maybe its roles reversed.

    It's no coincidence that this time last year we had Ken, now he is weaving his magic on the little zebras. Is there a break clause in his loan agreement for January ?

    I am in Italy in the lakes, obviously drinking wines from fruili, plenty of juventus shirts, I want to call them robbers for stealing your kit. Am I right. Need the correct insult and pronunciation.

    Udinese getting an absolute tanking from Atalanta at the moment.

    Okaka put Udinese's ahead after 11 minutes but they now trail 1-5 after 52. Atalanta also had a penalty awarded which was subsequently overturned via VAR. Udinese had a player sent off after 32 minutes.
