Lend and Lease

Since the two home defeats mentioned in my last footballing entry, Watford have redeemed themselves with victories away at Middlesborough and home to Sheffield Wednesday, as well as stealing a point with a 93rd minute goal at yet-to-win Ipswich.

Manchester United`s Tom Cleverley got the winner at the Riverside whilst Arsenal`s Henri Lansbury scored two as we found home form at last, beating the Owls 4-1 on Friday. Entrusted with some of the G4`s youthful talent (we also have Craig Catchcart from Man U™), we seem to be thriving in the season we sold all our best players. Now we have news that Sir Elton will play another concert at Vicarage Road, this time to raise money for us to actually BUY some players rather than survive on loans.

The next match – and the last before my birthday and the inevitable “life begins” messages – is away at West Brom. I would take even one point from the Hawthorns as an early birthday present, whether or not any goals are scored by someone borrowed.
