We’ve won impressively and deservedly against intimidating opponents. But we’ve not won like this. It’s not that we merited the win; that’s beyond dispute but not unique. It was the way we crushed Southampton between our jaws. The way that, more than merely deserving to win the game we were much, much better than our opponents. Play this game a hundred times, we win ninety nine times. Away to Southampton, a side who it could be argued are a reasonable target for our ambition in some ways. The victory is absolute, awesome, magnificent and magnificently straightforward.
After the game each encounter with a fellow Horn started with “How good was that?” Watford had completely dominated the game against a team that I would consider to be one of our main competitors.
BSAD report:I know Mooney has his critics and I can see why on occasions – he can look clumsy and uncoordinated – but when he’s playing like this it’s impossible to criticise.
