22nd December 2001- New Division One, Watford 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 1

Vialli talks about the League Cup defeat at Sheffield Wednesday, the game where he lost the confidence of many Watford supporters. 

When you think about it, Jonathan Ross is a complete tosser. Actually, you probably don’t need to think about it all that much….

Watching this game was a reward for ministering to my two sick children while they emitted green and yellow fluids and solids from both ends, for the past two days. Frankly, if we’d been playing Norwich, I don’t think I could have stomached it. But allowed out by my wife, at the possible expense of an Arsenal ticket in a couple of weeks, I hoped against hope that the Charlton spirit would see us right against a team everyone knows are unlikely to finish as low as seventh yet again.

BSAD: The one criticism that can be levelled at the management with respect to this afternoon is the ongoing mystery of the selection of substitutes. With Robinson in the centre of the three rather than as wingback, there ought to be space on the bench for cover should any of the defenders pick up a knock – not least the apparently forgotten James Panayi, so impressive last term. Apparently not, however, so Heidar Helguson made his entrance as the Hornets were forced to revert to four at the back with Helguson and Smith playing wide either side of the pivotal Noel-Williams for the remainder of the match.
