Game Day - Manchester United

The Hornets travel to Villa Park today for the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Mr. Mojo & I were having lunch the other day when he asked: How does a cellar-dweller team like Watford end up in the semi-finals? Well it has literally been the luck of the draw but that luck will probably run out today as we face the steamroller which is Manchester United (the bookies agree - Watford is a 9-1 dog).

Coming off a 7(!) - 1 win over Roma, United is on a roll both at home and in the Champions League. Add to the mix that Ben Foster will not be in goal (he's on loan from Man. U.) and King is not yet ready to take the pitch and Watford gives new meaning to the word underdog. On the plus side, Mahon is back in after his dead leg against Portsmouth.

Still, IF they can pull it off, we'll be telling our grandkids (and random passers-by for that matter) the tale for years. So enjoy and . . .

Go 'Orns!!!!
