    Isn't 2 x hat-tricks, plus a couple more = 8 goals?!

    So you're anticipating Sheff Utd could also still get 5?

    Nice! I’m sure it’s how GT would have wanted us to carry on.

    Is it too much to expect optimism from someone called ‘Optimistichornet’? :)

    When I created the account back in my youth I was optimistic….over the years I’ve slowly become realistic. Next stop pessimistic.

    Pretty sure he has/had a brother on here, I could never figure out who it was though. I seriously do hope he’s ok though.

    1-1 Sheff Utd lead at the break. Edwards pep talk and we pull one back second half.

    I think after the final operation to remove what little sense of humour he had left was successful, but also resulted in dreadful additional complications, he's come back reincarnated as LaClusazSki.

    Got my ST but will firmly be a plastic watching this one on the box I think.

    Living just off Sheffield means leaving work early and well over 2 hours to get home after the game on a good clear day let alone with thousands of the away lot all going the same way!

    2-2 I reckon.

    Can't wait to be back in the stadium, agree with comments above that we're probably not fully ready. Expect Sheff Utd to be up there so would take a positive performance, and a draw.

    Hoping to seeing Asprilla in the flesh, and for a good atmosphere. Need some positivity early doors to help air out the stench of last season.

    I'll be trying to find a pub in Mostar to watch this one.

    I think the people I sit around will think I've given up as I won't be there and they last saw me storm off giving the players a 2 fingered gesture and a shout of "f*** off" when Leeds scored their third, not been back since. I have renewal though.

    I've never forgiven these ****s for the way they celebrated when they drew with us on the final day of the 14/15 season and we blew the title.

    Into them early please so we don't have to hear that ******* of theirs band droning on all game.

    I have to admire how you seen and see the issues at Watford while wearing rose tinted glasses.
    We are not rebuilding- yet. We have the same players and l am not sure they are up for a long season in the Championship or that they will show us any passion. Too many mediocre players willing to just tread water.

    I noticed that you didn't take umbrage with the scoreline.

    We’ve looked well drilled, hard working, energetic, organised and surprisingly solid(ish) at the back preseason, but with all the firepower of a nerf gun that’s been in the attic for a decade, that some kids put a bit of plasticine in it and bullets where the end has fallen off.

    0-0

    You’ve misunderstood what I said. Again.

    Given how bad we have been over the last 12 months, losing 4-0 wouldn’t be us ‘out of sorts’ - it would be par for the course.

    I appreciate how you admire me though, thanks.

    Simply dreadful line up.
    4 - 0 to Sheffield United.
    A long season ahead. Mid table at best to flirting with the the relegation places.
    Edwards to stay as manager TBC
    No summer clearout, awful transfer window so far and the clock is ticking financially for Watford FC.
    Enjoy the game.

    You really do have to be a pathetic misery guts to somehow perceive that even the generally negative Burnsy wears "rose tinted glasses".

    Considering I've probably had more arguments with Burnsy than anyone else on here that also seems mistaken.

    With Sarr and Dennis in full flow this will be the most devastating attack on Sheffield since Threads.
