Pilko

He was taking the piss out of the Mackem commentators who were creaming themselves that they had been linked with him, he said something like "The coach said get changed, the Sunderland deal's fallen through... Torquay have stuck in a bid instead though."

He can't be any worse than Carroll up front.

Another young, pacey, talented player with potential to improve. Would be great if we could get him.

Fucking hope so!

Chavez? Typical Ashley signing tbh. Srsly though. Another defender is good.

Taylor > Hall.

Ranger needed that, one at home.

What a finish by Derry. Mint ball by Routledge, great finish Ranger.

yes

Cheers pal. But we've had over 5 minutes after the break and they're still wittering on about the Premier League games. Weyyyyy, back to the League Cup. Weyyyyy, back to the Premier League and the Everton game.

Dave: goals are after the break, so the guy says.

"in a few minutes" about 15 minutes ago.

Like I said a couple of days ago, the watford board should have been man enough to sit down with Portsmouth and Newcastle and accept that they weren't going to get all the money they hoped for, but would renegotiate the clauses so everyone got something from it. Your board, by sticking to its guns, has fucked up true and proper. What a load of shite that is. Portsmouth shouldn't have spent above their means, and inserting clauses into a deal to drive the price down has bitten them on the arse, and they should deal with that. Why should Watford have to get less money - if there wasn't a x% clause stipulated in the £2m(?) deal originally then they might not have accepted it, and may have asked for more.

I don't think Hughton intends to play him there, just with the way things turned out tonight what with injuries and that, he ended up playing all over the place.

Sponsors motm.

Yay.

Tonight was one of those games where the performance didn't matter - we just needed three points to get back to winning ways, and we did it. Good stuff, nice to see that the two new lads are playing well too.

Sponsors have given him man of the match.

Corner to us won by Routledge.

Ranger misses.

Lovenkrands went off.

Corner to us, Routledge involved .
