    Watford vs Leicester

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs5yxozm_84 Truly one of the most remarkable things I have seen in football. As an ex-Leicester Uni student this was yet more heartache following Leicester three years ago and Southend last year.
  4. Roots Hall

    Now that maybe we will be going to a new ground sooner, rather than later, i was looking up the history of Roots Hall. I was surprised to see that, opening on 20th August 1955, it was then the youngest football ground for 33 years, until Scunthorpe opened Glanford Park in 1988. Must admit i was...

    Would you take "Couldmynamebeanylonga" on loan again?

    Just to put it out there for next season, would you take "Britt" for another season providing we could? He might not be the complete deal but he is only young and can only get better so my vote would be "Yes". I do however fel he will be onloan at a higher league 1 club nearer to watford!

    South(north)end united football club

    Is Phil Brown northern bias ? Since he's been the gaffer Smith (northerner) has replaced Bentley(southerner). Cresswell (t' northerner) immediately installed as captain. He took off at half time then dropped Reeves (southerner) Put Mohsni (northern France) in midfield alongside Hurst,Lund...

  13. West Ham get Olympic Stadium

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21889864 Why is it that West Ham are receiving £60m of government money in order to convert the Olympic Stadium for their use? This is bad news for us. If, in August 2016, kids are given the choice of either watching League 2/1 football at our place, or...

    Who should we be looking to sign in the summer?

    Obviously apart from Ronaldo, Messi, Joe Hart & Pique, what type of players should we be looking to bring in come the summer? Personally I think we need another centre back to play with Cresswell, a holding midfielder in the Grant mould to tidy up, a creative winger to fill the Ryan Hall shaped...

  16. Could this become one of our best ever years?

    Could this turn out to be one of our greatest years ? I freely admit to be a ‘glass half full’ kind of person , and I would much rather look on the positive side of things if possible so bear with me- as I know this goes against the gran for some :winking: · We are going to Wembley...

    Biggest achievements by season

    We've had some great seasons and not-so-great seasons. In every season though we have had one game, or one player who has made it worthwhile. So, let's list the best things to happen per season. Promotions/title obviously beat everything else. I'll start 1906/7 1907/8 . 1949/50 - highest...

    An Afternoon At Boots & Laces

    Prior to yesterday evening, I toddled off with a few others to Boots & Laces for the youth team's League Cup match with Watford. We all saw something pretty special. Here's my take on it. As ever, there's mildly bad language, but nothing too bad...
