    Man City v Watford - anyone watching?

    Is it the worst game of football ever?
    I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"

    Not watching it JC but surely the clue is in your title - Man City v Watford FFS.

    Even Premiership lover Ken Early is on Newstalk saying that this game is abysmal. Personally i'm surprised anyone would think it might be good. No one at it either apparently.

    Sure it's the Premiership it must be great - it's better than that FAI crap anyway - who'd want to go and see 2 teams hoof the ball from one end of the pitch to the other

    Even Sky seem to be struggling to hype it up!

    80% of Premiership games are sh!te. 15% are watchable. 5% are enjoyable.

    Well if the Premiership is rubbish then every other league is rubbish as well since all the average English teams are doing well in the UEFA Cup

    I watched this farce of a game. Basically its the way Watford play the game. A throw back to the Wimbleton days of the 80s. Ball had snow on it for the most part of game. Dunne played well. No sign of Ireland, Pearse seems to have disgarded all the young lads he consistently played last year, (Jordan, Ireland, Flood, Wright-Phillips jnr,) and resorted to playing journeymen like Reyna, Hamann ect. This guy Mahon, not sure if he qualifies for us, certainly puts himself about. He buried Joey Barton twice during the game, so he has some good qualities.

    Jordan's been replaced by Thatcher, and his form since the suspension merits a place
    Ireland's a strange one, he has played well when called on, but still can't get in ahead of Reyna. I guess with Barton getting forward, Pearce needs Reyna to play the holding role.
    Flood and Wright-Phillips were sold to Cardiff and Southampton.

    Yes, I'm aware of Pearse selling Flood, W-P, Croft and a few other young lads who seemed to be making a breakthrough at City. My point was that Pearce seems to have little faith in young players with the exception of Richards.

    Worst game of football I ever saw: Ireland 0 Iceland 0 which supports my theory there should be no points awarded for 0-0 games.

    Greece 0 Ireland 0 - Don Given's only game in charge. Richard Dunne won MOTM at left full!
    Notable for Glen Crowe's debut, and Richie Partridge being an unused sub despite being in the form of his life at the time.

    Sweden-Turkey - in Euro 2000. Good Christ almighty, that was utterly utterly tedious. Two side who quite simply could not pass the ball straight. Think both were ravaged by injuries for the tournament, but even still...

    Milan derby in the CL semi-final a couple of years ago (2003) was a 0-0 and in the top 10 games I've ever seen.

    You find that with the Serie A though, there's a lot of low scoring games that are still quality matches. I remember Inter beating Juve 1-0 in what was seen as a title decider about 7 years ago (Inter still managed to blow the league despite winning) and it being the game of the season as far as I was concerned

    A match without a goal is like sex without the climax. I remember a Champions League Final a few years back which was 0-0 between two Italian teams and which bored me silly. It's the football snob who says these are exciting when to be honest it's difficult to keep the old eyes open on the couch.

    Arsenal vs Porto last night. Sky said there is nothing that can be done about this. Yes there is. 0-0 = a non result and no points for either team. That would focus the minds a lot more. Why should a team get something out of a game if it hasn't scored a goal? Time for this change.

    That was Milan - Juve. I was tempted beforehand to stick a tenner on a 0-0 after 90 minutes. Was kicking myself the net morning!
