Hope this result holds, opens up a 6 point gap to the shite below. Newcastle could be in serious trouble before Jan roles around, their next 4 or 5 games are a mess

Watched a bit of the second half. Watford are basically just hoofing it forward and Brentford get nosebleed every time they get near the box. Terrible game.

Just realised Watford have 3 ex United players in their lineup. They even have Ashley Fletcher on the bench.

Ranieri taking off Cleverly for João Pedro was a strange one. Sacrificing a midfielder for a forward, giving up midfield control, while his team is in the lead.

That last replay looked dodgey, ball seemed to come off his head then changed direction? Head to shoulder then in?

Desperate second half from Watford, crazy sub. They lost all control when Cleverley went off.

Love Brentford's pub style sing song after their games.

Well that was probably the stupidest way Watford could've lost that game. What a challenge to make on 93 minutes.

Now that brings back memories.
With Hernan Crespo having cancelled out Dado Prso's early Monaco goal Chelsea looked favoured in this Champions' League semi-final first-leg when Andreas Zikos was dismissed for punching Claude Makelele after 53 minutes. Instead, late goals from Fernando Morientes and Shabani Nonda have them with a monumental task in the second leg on 5 May.

The pair scored after Ranieri continually re-jigged his side, at times playing Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink on the right wing in a three-man attack, Scott Parker at right-back, and Juan Sebastian Veron in a nebulous advanced midfield role. The upshot was that the attack was overloaded, the midfield undermanned and, with Chelsea naively pouring forward, the defence vulnerable to the counter-attack.

The attendance for a team at the very top of the Premiership is laughable.
