Lee Williamson grabbed his first goal for the club as Watford maintained their 100% start to the season with a narrow victory over Sheffield United.

BHappy imageBHappy report: Six points from these two league games without playing terribly well is a bit of a result.

Another man having a bad day was Alvin Martin. He was reporting on the game for Sky and really could have picked a better spot to stand than directly above the Sheff Utd fans. ‘Stand up if you hate West Ham’ and ‘Cheap suit from Matalan’ were among the chants during his broadcasts. We responded with ‘there’s only one Carlos Tevez’ Full marks earlier on though for the Sheff Utd fans who pretty much to a man all appaluded Don Fraser getting his throughly deserved Barclays Supporter of the Year award.

13th May 2007- Premier League, Watford 1 Newcastle United 1

This was an emotional day for those in Watford’s goal. Ben Foster played the final game of his two season loan spell from Manchester United. He was substituted in the 90th minute for Alec Chamberlain who came on for the last game in a career that spanned 25 years and 678 appearances, over 250 of them for Watford. The one minute cameo made Alec the second oldest Premier League player ever at 42 years 327 days only beaten by Manchester City’s John Rudge who was 43 when he played for them in 1995. Alec continued to work at Vicarage Road as a goalkeeper coach until 2017. Ben Foster, of course, would return to Watford in 2018.

21st April 2007- Premier League, Watford 1 Manchester City 1

Watford became the first team to be relegated from the Premiership this season after drawing with Manchester City at Vicarage Road.

Watford manager Aidy Boothroyd admitted his team ‘did not have enough’ after today’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City meant they were relegated to the Championship.

Your one-word match report is:fitting.

BBC: Gavin Mahon and Tamas Priskin scored their first Premiership goals and Hameur Bouazza bagged a brace to keep Watford’s slim survival hopes alive.

Guardian: Rather like the Woody Allen creation, Zelig, there is a chameleon quality to Portsmouth’s football these days. Having raised their game to match and defeat Manchester United on Saturday they came to Vicarage Road yesterday and proceeded to be more like Watford than Watford themselves.

BHappy: Your one-word match report is:crikey.

24th February 2007- Premier League, Watford 0 Everton 3

Everton romped to victory to keep their push for the Uefa Cup on course and leave Watford in desperate trouble.

Three successive home matches offered Aidy Boothroyd’s side a genuine opportunity to close the gap on the teams immediately above them. But the failure to overcome 10-man Wigan in midweek, followed by this setback, suggests the chance has been lost. Although there is still Charlton to come next Saturday, Watford have that sinking feeling.

Boothroyd must already be examining Plan B – the one to take Watford back up next season. Goals will come easier in the Championship. Some will surely fall to the Hungarian forward Tamas Priskin, the second-half substitute who deserved one for effort alone after a shot and two headers in the space of five minutes.

Your one word match report is: Eurgh.

21st February 2007- Premier League, Watford 1 Wigan Athletic 1

An extremely unusual event preceded Watford’s Premiership match with Wigan on Wednesday. Minutes before kick-off injured Watford striker Marlon King wandered on to the Vicarage Road pitch and, microphone in hand, made an impassioned appeal to the club’s supporters.

Your one-word match report is: insufficient.
