Went to both the NLD and the Watford game yesterday. Not much to report, just a humble brag. The atmosphere at the NLD was unbelievable. Red Sox Yankees on steroids. The prevailing sentiment of those I spoke to in the stadium was "fuck the league, we just don't want to lose to these -----s". Fill in the blank depending on whether children were around but it often started with a c. Really felt like after Kane scored it should end up 4-1, but credit to Arsenal for righting the ship in that atmosphere. The Sanchez yellow was right in front of us and I'd be interested to know what t.v. showed. He seemed to have gotten poked in the face before shoving a Spurs player. He wiped his nose then wiped the blood on his sleeve to show the assistant but the ref was not having it.
Getting between the grounds was an adventure, but we made it. Vicarage Road was much more sedate in comparison. Tough for me to tell live, but Watford looked the better side on this day or at least roughly even. Their defense was strong. Mahrez found a little gap and that was it, while all of the Hornets' shots were right at the keeper. Watford looked like a good team. A few breaks this year and they could be competing for a Europe spot. The whole neutral world may be rooting for Leicester, but let them spend 90 minutes a section over from their visiting supporters and that could change quickly. I know there's a certain expected visiting supporter shtick but old white men and kids acting like punks or as though a March league game to Watford is the Old Firm rivalry and I found myself rooting hard for an equalizer just to shut them up. I guess that's their job.
On to Palace v. Liverpool. Cheers!
