    Although Perreyra wasn't as influential, he only needed to do one thing...make a forward run and pick out a pass...he's a game changer and something we've missed.

    I've supported Watford for 40 years now and I can truthfully say today has been one of my happiest and proudest days doing so.

    After 14 straight defeats, or however many it was, it's great to finally beat United.

    It's also terrific to get a win against one of the big boys, and to now total 7 points from what some feared would be a pointless opening five matches.

    It is to be hoped that those who've spent the last few weeks pontificating on how we would never win games set up as we are, or criticising every move made or not made by the manager (I bet they were at it again today when Zuniga came on!) will have the good grace to acknowledge what a terrific 8 days it's been.

    Well done Watford. And Well Done Mazzarri. Today the donkey became a thoroughbred I think Jose :)

    Following on from my wedding last Sunday, this has been one of the best weeks of my life! We finally beat, sorry smash, Utd! Happy days, I'm going to get wasted tonight!

    No offence to man Utd they tried their cup final but we really should be beating the likes of these. Sad to concede but guess it was a lucky goal.

    Exemplary winding up of Pogba incidentally. I thought he was going to get himself sent off after that push on Berhami.

    Some of our players today stepped up an alarming level. Something needs to be done.

    Iggy reassuringly **** though

    Could've been Prodl, Behrami, Capoue or Holebas.

    Hope janmaat isn't too badly hurt. He was superb until he did his shoulder.

    How classless are Man u fans? We recognised Young with applause yet they didn't even acknowledge Cathcart. So he bossed them.

    Not sure Pogba still is.

    Incidentally you could buy 15 Capoues for one Pogba.

    We only looked like losing for about 15 mins. Madness, didn't just beat them, we did it rather easily!

    Lots of contenders for MOTM but l give it to Mr Oliver. Didn`t blow his whistle once incorrectly. Even helped Deeney up after booking him - something you don't see every day.

    Joes is just fantastic, he mentioned Gomes's save and said he can't do anything about luck! Basically blaming the other team for being better.

    United were crud though weren't they?

    That backpass from Cathcart should have been put away easily - great defending/keeping to stop that.
