Watched the game last night at a British pub here. Talked an Austrian girl who's staying in my room into joining me. There was a Watford fan, also in his jersey, there as well. We had a great time chatting with him and his girl about American-British sports/pop culture/etc. A couple of slutty-hot Geordie girls were also hanging with us. One was incredibly knowledgable about the game. We bonded over our mutual hatred of Sunderland. It was a really cool experience.
As for the match, seemed like a fair result. Martinez once again started a clusterfuck lineup with one winger, one striker, Ross and a 3-man MF. So dumb. Thought Galloway looked serviceable at LB. Stonesy did not have a good match. Lukaku missed a wide open header and was offsides about 5 times. Cleverley played fairly well. Bringing on Kone definitely worked out, however not bringing on Naismith, McGeady or Gerry D but instead Oviedo, was infuriating.
Kone was the MOM. His first touch and release set up the Ross' thunder strike. His finish on the second goal was class. Watford appear to be a solid side. I expect them to stay up. Hopefully at the expense of Sunderland and/or Stoke.
My faith in Martinez is continuing to dwindle. I think he's gone during or after this season. He's too rigid and full of himself.
Once again it was a really solid evening. Bar wifi was shit but everything else was the titties. Drank a bunch of Chang's. Definitely an experience I'll always remember.
