After the national games, the normal competitions in each country starts again. Same will happen in the UK where Tottenham will battle against Liverpool and Watford will have Man U in their stadium.

If have many English colleagues and the more we talk about Watford, the more I think a new fairytale can happen, like Leicester in 2016.

Here is why:

The maximum of the points after 4 matches

In the North east of of Wembley they check they must check the scoreboard every hour to realize it is not a dream but reality. Together with Liverpool & Chelsea they show off on top of the ranking.

Ok, Brighton, Crystal Palace or Burnley, I agree, no they don’t have the Hazards in the team that make the difference. But a 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspurs is what many people didn’t expect. Watford is a small club, who always played in the 2nd division , the Championship. It would be a wonderful fairytale.

The new Leicester

In ’14-’15 Leicester City started as 14th in the Premier League. They won 11 matches, 8 were equal and 19 they lost. Watford started as 14th last year, they won 11 matches, 8 stayed equal and yes oh yes, they lost 19.

Time to buy your ticket with the bookmakers! :o)

Elthon John

Off course the miracle will not happen. But we have to admit that Watford started very well at the season. One of their biggest fans, is Mr Elthon John. The one and only watched the game against Tottenham together with his children. Elthon John grew up as a kid in that area and was a member of the club, I believe even he was chairman of the team.

They made him recently, the chairman of the club, as a symbol and named a stand by him. On the back you will see ‘ your song’ written, one of his biggest hits.

Pozzo’s

The Pozzo family own the club. They became rich due to selling of vehicles. They own a few clubs, one of them is Udinese. The hire more trainers then they change underwear. The money they have and want to spend, can be a big advantage for the club in the near future.

The coach Javi Gracia won the Premier League manager title of the month August. A good start … with a happy ending? Time will tell.

Who will become champion in the Premier League according to you?
