The Hornets move on to the Fifth Round Proper of the 2006-2007 FA Cup by holding on to their halftime lead. I counted 6 saves by Foster and Stewart, Demerit, and McNamee all looked like they were having great games (at least as seen from a PC half a world away and filtered through the BBC).
Joining Watford in the next round are:
Ipswitch Town (Championship)
Tottenham Hotspur (Premier)
Plymouth Argyle (Championship)
Reading (Premier)
Derby County (Championship)
Preston North End (Championship)
Manchester United (Premier)
Blackburn Rovers (Premier)
Fulham (Premier)
The remaining 6 spots will be determined with tomorrow's matches . . .:
Wolverhampton Wanderers * (Championship) v. West Bromwich Albion (Championship)
Chelsea (Premier) v. Nottingham Forest (League One)
Manchester City (Premier) v. Southampton (Championship)
Arsenal (Premier) v. Bolton Wanderers (Premier)
. . . or replays of earlier drawn ties:
Bristol City (League One) v. Middlesbrough (Premier)
Norwich City (Championship) v. Blackpool (League One)
* on a business trip to Madison, WI last week, my cabbie had a decidedly British accent. When I asked where he was from, he said " a little town called Wolverhampton; you've probably never heard of it." I think I hurt his brain when said, "Oh - the Wanderers". I may have hurt it worse when I told him I was a Watford fan.
League Cup
Since Watford bowed out, I've been bad about updating League Cup results but:
Chelsea is in the finals after defeating Wycombe in the second leg 4-0 -and-
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal play Jan. 31 in their second leg after drawing the first.
Next Watford match is Wednesday against Fergie's Manchester United at Old Trafford. Kickoff is 1:45 pm St. Louis time.
