28th October 2006- Premier League, Watford 0 Tottenham Hotspur 0 Leave a Reply Watford remained winless in 10 league games after a lively, goalless draw against Tottenham at Vicarage Road.

Or indeed, if the excellent Tommy Smith had been able to nudge an incoming cross under rather than over the bar from six yards out when it came to him in the first minute.

2nd October 2006- Premier League, Watford 3 Fulham 3 Leave a Reply Ashley Young’s dramatic late volley salvaged a point for Watford after an extraordinary climax at Vicarage Road. Watford had looked on course for a much-needed first Premiership win of the season, and an escape from the relegation zone, when they led 2-0 with only 19 minutes remaining, but nerves got the better of them and they were eventually thankful for Ashley Young’s late equaliser after conceding three goals in a nightmarish 16-minute period in the second half.

16th September 2006- Premier League, Watford 0 Aston Villa 0 Leave a Reply Watford keeper Ben Foster and his Aston Villa counterpart Thomas Sorensen stole the show as their two sides had to settle for a draw at Vicarage Road. Aidy Boothroyd’s team are still confronting the Watford gap. It is a daunting prospect, despite the manager’s protestation that “performance-wise we’d be near the top of the Premiership.
