Watford Away - Opposition Fan View (& Harry Chants), Team News & Pub Ammo

Watford away in the 4th round of the FA Cup and the mood in their forums suggests that the result is a foregone conclusion and that it'll be a "nice" game to watch as the pressure is completely off. Some fans are hoping we play a weakened side to give them a chance at going through. One fan reckons that for the number of usual starting 11 players in the Spurs team will be equal to the number of goals they lose by. Confidence high then.

"The match will be a wonderful occasion, regardless of result. It's nice to go to a match without the pressure of league points at stake. We are massive underdogs and have absolutely nothing to lose. Financially it's a great tie for the club also. I'm looking forward to it, and I hope Redknapp fields a strong team."

"I don't mind the result we have got great money out of it and we are playing the best footballing team in the country at the moment."

Then the discussion drifts to what songs they'll sing to Redknapp. Innocent until proven guilty Watford fans. (But to be fair there are some crackers in here!)
"Paid all your taxes. You should have paid all your taxes"
"Whats that coming over the hill, is it the taxman? Is it the taxman?"
"Theres only one Rosie 47, there is only one Rosie 47, There is only one Rosie 47."
"One man and his dog went to Monaco..."
"'Arry give us a bung, 'Arry 'Arry give us a bung."
"Bummed in the showers, your going to get bummed in the showers, Bummed in the shoooowers."
"Going down, going down, going down..."
"No income Tax, no VAT. No premier leagues points off Man City. In the dock, face so pale. Harry Redknapps' going to jail..."
"Harry, What's offshore? Harry, Harry, What's offshore?"

Watford Fan Predictions: Watford Win 5%, Draw 10%, Spurs Win 85%

Pub Ammo
-Watford have lost three straight league games
-Spurs have a fine record at Vicarage Road, visiting five times without defeat since 1987
-Spurs have won the four FA Cup clashes between the teams
-Watford have scored in each of their last nine home games (19 in total)
-Spurs have scored on average 4.25 goals in their FA Cup meetings against Watford
-8 of Spurs last 11 away encounters have featured 3 or more goals

Team News
It's reported that Bale, Parker and Kaboul are all doubts, but then again, you wouldn't have expected those three to feature anyway.  Sandro and Gallas however are both definitely out. It's a fair assumption that we'll go with a 2nd string team considering we have Wigan at home in the league during the following week. I'm assuming we'll see something pretty similar to what we had against Cheltenham:

(edited due to all comments received across the network being about this lineup and nothing else!)

Cudicini

Livermore Walker   Dawson   Bassong    Rose

Dos Santos   Dos Santos Livermore  Krancjar   Pienaar   

Defoe   Pav

By that Watford fan's prediction of starting 11 first teamers = goals, it's going to be 1-0. Bollocks to that, 4-1 Spurs I reckon. Banish those Manchester Blues. COYS.
