‘A=B’: Watford 2-2 Udinese 02/08/14
There is a distinct air of uncertainty wafting around Vicarage Road this August. Watford fans, once bitten twice shy, are reticent to approach the coming season with anything resembling outward optimism, fresh from finally getting the last remaining egg from their faces after a relatively disastrous campaign last year.

“Life is like a box of biscuits…”: Reading (H) 11/01/14
New Year, same old Watford.
