    Mr Integrity is coming back to the Vic.

    Not confident about this one, Leicester look half decent.

    Can't argue with this.

    The Hornets were wide open down the flanks at Anfield. Tactically I could not believe what they were doing, allowing Liverpool's full-backs to run into space all night.
    If they defend like that again against Leicester, they are going to struggle.
    Lawro's prediction: 0-2

    Hopefully ‘Mr Integrity’ will receive Silva-esque levels of abuse. If anything I dislike him even more than the Snake. No doubt fatty Moss will f*ck us over, so reluctantly I’m saying away win. Would love to be proved wrong though

    Similar to the Muff game.

    I'm confident JG will address the issue although Lesta tend to play it more through the middle, don't they?

    Hoof over the top to Vardy who sprints past treacle treading CB is how they won the title.

    Jon Moss is the referee, so the match is a bit pointless.

    Paul Merson....…..stuck record man. Other confectionary is available.

    Watford vs Leicester (Super Sunday, midday, live on Sky Sports Premier League)
    Watford are a bag of revels. They go into the Liverpool game on a bit of a run, and get completely blown away.

    I do fancy them in this game, but I really like the Brendan Rodgers appointment at Leicester. For Claude Puel, you can't be having those results and expect to keep your job.

    Rodgers has played some counter-attacking football in his time, and I think it will suit Leicester at the moment. I think Leicester have had a result there.

    PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (17/2 with Sky Bet)

    Is it wrong of me to say I am not confident about this one? After Cardiff I thought we were world beaters, but after Liverpool I now think we're back to being a League One team. There is no way I am your typical fickle prawn sandwich eating football fan.

    It is astonishing to think that Merson (and the hundreds of other pundits who come out with similar tripe) get paid for producing this rubbish

    What's more astonishing is that ******s keep them employed by reading it week after week.

    I like the orange but not the coffee.We can trade.
    Brenda is unspeakably vile but from the little I've seen of Foxes they've been a little unlucky in certain matches.
    Mr IBB has a friend who is chums with Puel and this chap had dinner with him on Saturday night and poor dull Claude knew he was sacked then apparently. At least Mr IBB's friend could take him back to Monaco I suppose.
    I too fear the worst.
    I'd be very happy with a draw.
    It would be nice to see RP come out of hibernation.

    All the revels are lovely, though I think the round plain one could offer more. A crispy shell, darker choc maybe.... just feels like a bit of a missed opportunity.

    We’ve generally been pretty good away from home this season, it was the home form that cost Puel his job. We aren’t nearly as direct as we were a couple of years ago, though judging by the one game we’ve had since Fraud went the shackles have been slightly loosened. Tielemans can play some lovely passes but Vardy doesn’t make the same runs as he used too, I think if we’re going to do any damage it’ll be through Barnes and Gray on the wings.

    I’d expect Rodgers to play the same team that he saw on Tuesday;

    Schmeichel

    Ricardo
    Evans
    Maguire
    Chilwell

    Ndidi
    Tielemans
    Maddison

    Gray
    Barnes
    Vardy

    Lots of pace but flakey under pressure, the teams lacks a leader at the minute so if Watford fly into us, which I expect they will, we probably won’t cope too well at first. I’m hoping with the **** KO time we can slow the game down and play on the break, it’s still when we look our best even though there’s only Vardy left as one of the outfield regulars from winning the league.

    Tough start for Rodgers, I’m predicting 1-1 with not a lot in it.

    I disagree.
    I like the disc chocolate one.
    Simplicity itself.

    I like both the coffee and the orange, less so the maltesers and the minstrel ones.

    1 - If I wanted maltesers or minstrels, id buy a pack of minstrels or maltesers

    2 - The fun is in not knowing what flavour before you bite it, but i can tell the larger maltesers apart and the minstrels are a piss take.

    So i think Merson is talking about a level of depth beyond most watford fans tiny brains, little bit of schrodinger and a little bit of socrates mixed with hawking.

    Have you decided what shoes to wear, and whether to give your snake outfit another footy treat?

    I respect your opinion.

    I’ve always had a slight problem with Revels in that their USP is having several different flavours in one bag and were even advertised with a sort of Deerhunter Russian roulette pastiche IIRC. They need to make them all look identical so you don’t know which one you’re getting, imagine the thrill of popping one in your mouth and not knowing if it’s the orange one you’ll likely want to spit out or a lovely milk choccy. I think being able to single it out as the plain one, the flavour you’re most familiar with, well it loses something for me.

    Having said all that, can I eat a full Cinema sized pouch by myself in one sitting and thoroughly enjoy it? I absolutely can.

    There is no minstrel one. It’s a chocolate disc. Completely different experience in both taste and texture.

    The arses at Mars replaced the peanut ones with raisins. Fruit has no business being dried and it especially has no business being covered in chocolate and pretending to be something nice until you bite into it. The orange ones are also vile.

    1-2 new manager bounce and we're **** on TV.

    Meanwhile, back at the football, I was wondering on behalf of our younger forumites if anyone could comment on the recent form between the sides.

    Is there any footage of matches in, say, the last 6 years which would put Sunday's fixture in context?

    Vardy to exploit Mariappa’s dreadful ball anticipation skills and get behind time and time again.

    0-2.

    0-3 Lesta.

    Mahrez scored a lovely one at the Vic on the way to us walking the Premier League in 2016.

    Celebrated by buying 10 bags of Revels and just eating the coffee ones.

    Vardy is a nightmare. Gray (theirs) is a nightmare. Fortunately I think that Johnny Barnes is not as quick as he used to be so there may be some respite there.
    Must win game.
    1-3 to the former champions.

    Cadbury's dairy milk with nuts. Large bar, snuck into a strange cupboard so my daughter doesn't get a sniff, consumed in its entirety before 12 hours is up, maybe quite a chunk during MOTD.
    For God's sake, my mouth is watering now. Pavlov would understand.
