[Brewster Cost £70 million]

I am going to put that pic on a new mouse mat.

Someone else made i I just touched it up I love it

 

[FriethBlade]

I think it's a good time to play them. New manager, never managed at this level. Squad still not finalised with some of their big hitters potentially leaving so won't to get injured etc.

Dont agree Soton. If Sarr and Dennis are playing we might struggle to contain them. I reckon both will be gone before the end of the window so I think it would have been better to play them after the window closes

 

[Houston_Blade]

Aren't Watford shit at the back and have just had a year of getting battered every week? If so then an early goal is of huge importance to us.

Hopefully they'll have a massive hangover like we did last year and a new manager who can't get the players to play how he wants them to.
Their top players won't be that committed (hopefully) due to wanting moves away.

Personally I think it's the best time to play them.

One of their forecasts on the Watford forum….you couldn’t make it up…just hope their side is as informed as this numb nut is

You mean you won't love them beyond the grave?! Get ye gone part time!

Rob Edwards 2 games interim manager @ Wolves in Championship then became coach

Tickets booked and really looking forward to this. Last time I went to Watford old ‘do I not like that’ was in charge and we lost 5-0. Still, that was then, eh?

 

[jono_t2000]

Would take a point, even a loss to be honest as long as we show real intent.

Still some very good quality in the Watford squad, should be pushing for autos if hold onto most of their players.

If they hang on to Sarr, Dennis and Pedro then I think they walk the league.

Big if though.

Pedro won't be going anywhere.

Dennis and Sarr would leave if the right price came in but think the club want more than others are prepared to - particularly on Sarr.

We paid over 30-235 million for him so want that much back ....

Hope you are right because we wouldn't replace them and probably end up mid table or something.

Knowing us they'll on August 31st with about 5 minutes left of the transfer window.

 

[Davalon]

No idea what to expect from this one tbh

 

[LudlamBlade]

£235m?

You'll fit right in on here with those kind of batshit valuations

 

[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

Flashscore shows khadra as injured. Is that right?

 

[GreenhillBladeinToronto]

As I said to the missus, you can have Sky or you can have central heating. You can't have both.

Probably why he’s heading to “Luxembourg” - I also find it a place of benefit last season when the situation dictated

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I'm as worried about Sema as any of the others, he's a seriously good player at this level and it's annoying they can just use him again in this league after fucking him over last season

 

[YorkBlade]

Match Preview (I'll be at the game, be good to say hi to people):

 

[Rufus Smalls]

I'm sure rockets won't be allowed under the new ground regulations.

Only at the City Ground .................. apparently.

 

[dn5 shaun]

Glass 75% full.Blades to start as they mean to carry on.2-0 win.Brewster and Kendra to score.I could have done a Farah Williams(I think that's right) and gone for 4-0 but I'm the cautious type.

my glass is always 100% full before a player has been kicked in anger, usually less than half full after final whistle of first game

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Would take a point now.
Going for this as the XI

Interesting line-up that - Wes upfront on his own. I’m not sure the front 3 have many goals in them either.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Got a feeling this will be a low scoring affair. Maybe even as low as 0-0

If we get our way it will be

It's an absolute classic play for a 0-0 first dayer

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Be good to win 3-0 .

 

[Scarebus]

Flashscore shows khadra as injured. Is that right?

I think he was injured at the end of last season.

 

[Mark F]

Hmmm.

Do you mean Sarr ?

Or are you Swedish.

Sema must be one of the slowest most one footed players we have ever had!

Works hard but not much else to point him out as a threat tbh.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

No, I mean Sema.

Slow?!

Our clubs must have very different definitions of the word

 

[Lowen]

Watford’s home record is terrible, 12 losses and 1 draw in their last 13 games. Yes it was the premier league but it will be weighing heavily on fans/players. You’d think a record like that won’t last very long now they’re back in the championship but you can see a bit of a hangover in the early games. I think it’s a good time to play them.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Is anyone else expecting to see billy in the squad tommorrow, i think he will now you can have 5 subs , i heard he played a part in a behind doors game , so for me id have him in the squad

 

[BigBed]

Come on Blades, let's get a big win to kick off the season!!

I can’t see him not being in the squad? Are people expecting him to be out?
Unless something has happened in the last week he’ll certainly be on the bench.

I think Heckingbottom said he won’t feature tomorrow
