So, that time of the year has returned; the day where every football fan in the country starts their teams season full of optimism for the coming season, only for a majority of them to have had their hopes dashed at the first fence!!!!
I'm pleased to say that for once I'm not one of those whose hopes lay in tatters!!
A promising first half from Watford resulted in a few chances and some nice football but ended with Wolves taking the lead just before half time when Olifinjana found himself with the freedom of the penalty area to stab home a through ball.
It did not bode well in the second half as Watford sat deep and invited pressure. However Wolves looked decidedly short of ideas themselves and Watford came back into it in the last 10 minutes.
A clumsy tackle gave Watford a free kick with a couple of minutes left on the clock and from around 30 yards out, Jordan Stewart crashed home an equaliser, although the ball took a wicked deflection off of the defensive wall on it's way into the top left hand corner!
The guy sat next to me reckoned that we could go on and win this in the remaining couple of minutes and he thought Marlon King would score the winner! I bet he'd wished that he had put some money on that statement at the bookies as Steve Kabba was brought down in the penalty box and with the last kick of the game the King of Vicarage Road thumped home an unstoppable Penalty!
