Waking up this morning in fetid bedsitter somewhere, will be a man who can tell you exactly when Spurs were last top of the Aunt Mable in September.
All I can tell you is that Watford’s form against us is historically lousy, yet they come into this game like us, unbeaten in their first 3 Premier League games.
Will this new and improved Hornets squad be able to improve on a track record that boasts just one draw. no wins and 4 losses going back to 2016?
It’s highly improbable.
Watford boss Javi Gracia has only faced modest competition so far.
A win is a win, but victories over Brighton, Burnley and Palace are hardly the stuff of bragging rights.
Our visit to Vicarage Road will be of interest for a number of reasons.
One, we’ve got the in the League cup later on this month, and two, Watford is somewhat of a ‘where are they now?’ file for Spurs off-casts.
Heurelho Gomes is still in goal, Younes Kaboul remains in defense not to mention Etienne Caopue in midfield.
Will we see the Immutable Law Of The Ex unfold?
Extremely unlikely, they’re at Watford because they aren’t very good at playing football.
Is this match a potential banana skin?
You’re havin’ a giraffe.
