Yes! We Did It! Onwards And Upwards!
Yesterday, the mighty Watford played Leeds United. For the winner, £30million and th Premiership. For the loser, the paltry sum of the gate receipts. For those of you with a short memory, or the plain ignorant, here's a brief summary:
Jay Demerit gives Watford the lead after 25 minutes. Watofrd started brightly, creating chances, including chance after 1 minute. Leeds didn't threaten too much, although a mistake by the Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster could have ended in a calamatous goal after 16 minutes. It didn't, and Watford went 1-0 up, deservedly. A great header.
One of the Leeds players fouled goalkeeper Ben Foster in the box. What did Ben Foster do? As the referee blew his whistle, he grappled another Leeds player to the ground. Nice one :)
Watford started better in the second half too. Playing well, Marlon King struck a ball in to the ground. It shouldn't have threatened, but a defender got his leg in the way. The goalkeeper panicked, the ball hit the post, the goalkeeper fumbled the ball, it span on the line for a second, and then just crossed in to the goal. Wonderful :) Marlon King was then brought down in the area on 84 minutes. Darius Henderson put the penalty away, and it was 3-0 to Watford.
Watford - play-off winners, 2006. Up to the Premier League we go. What happened last time we were there? Arsenal took 86 minutes to score against us at Highbury, only beating us with a wondergoal from Thierry Henry, we beat Chelsea at home, and Liverpool got beaten 1-0 at Anfield. Did you hear that mrBen? ;)
