‘I have to give massive credit to the players because they were outstanding’

This time a fine away performance in the north-east Tees up a victory

Fran’s Watford Blog: It was joyous at the end of the game. After the pleasantries with the opposition players and the officials, the players gathered in front of us. Sissoko was beaming as he conducted the crowd singing his name. Then, as Cleverley’s name was sung, Kayembe decided to lift him off his feet. He gestured to them to calm down, but I think he was frightened of being dropped. The players continued to applaud the crowd who were lustily singing their support.

From the Rookery End: After 1-0 win away at Middlesbrough. Jon, Jordi and Adam gathered to react to the win and how the Hornets might have started to revive their season at the Riverside. With one eye on next weeks derby match against Luton, they discuss how a new foundations seems to be forming in Tom Cleverly’s Watford squad with a new centre back pairing and the continued redemption of Imran Louza. Tom will have some hard decisions to make, but has Doumbia shown him enough to cause him headaches for who should be starting up front.

A selection of images from Watford’s FA Cup win at Queens Park Rangers

Watford reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the second time in four seasons after a hard-fought win against battling Queens Park Rangers.

As four minutes of added time were shown at the end of the first half, Capoue swept the ball home after a mis-hit from Tom Cleverley and it proved to be the winner.

Queens Park Rangers had to wait for this moment. Their previous appearance in the FA Cup fifth round had come at Wimbledon in 1997 and it is doubtful whether any club has since endured a more dismal record in the competition. The London club had won only four ties – each of them in the third round – before this season.

Prior to kick-off there was a minute’s applause for Gordon Banks who passed away this week. It has to be said that nobody waited for the referee’s whistle to start the tribute.

WFC.Net goal commentary: 1

BBC: Watford made it 10 points from 12 after beating Middlesbrough in a game in which both sides finished with 10 men.

BHappy: The penalty and the two red cards took place within the first twelve minutes of the half. They left whopping great craters all over whatever gameplans had been in place, and if we’d looked anything but impressive before going ahead what followed was an absolute masterclass in navigating the revised landscape.

Every series of Masterchef – mmm, topical – has an awful lot of contestants. That being the case, a helping hand is provided in the shape of a short, simple label for us to remember each one by, a three-words-or-less summary of their entire existence prior to having their life changed by cooking scallops with a minted pea puree for Greg and Jeff. (I know it’s not Jeff, but I can’t be bothered to look it up.)

15th February 2003-FA Cup Fifth Round, Sunderland 0 Watford 1

Watford piled on the agony for Sunderland boss Howard Wilkinson as they dumped the Premiership strugglers out of the FA Cup at The Stadium of Light.

This was always going to be A Good Day. Irrespective of the result, a big cup tie away at a fine stadium against a Premiership club with a big travelling support guaranteed… and this allied with the assurance that this Watford side so very rarely lets you down when it comes to effort and application. All valid arguments in answering the “Why on earth do you do this?” question that many will have faced last week.
