Young enjoys the big time

Watford striker Ashley Young is already looking forward to starting the Premiership season with a clash against Everton at Goodison Park.

Adrian Boothroyd's Hornets gained promotion through the Championship play-offs and meeting the Blues on the opening day makes Watford's new status a reality for 20-year-old Young.

"Goodison is a fantastic stadium so it's a great place to start," Young told the club's website.

"It's an old cliche but they're all big games in this league and it really shows that we're back in the big time now."

Premiership ;D

Set pieces will be the key to our survival next year, it's good that Young is up for it and I think his free kicks will suprise a few.

Everton are usualy slow starters so the first game is not as daunting as it may appear and if all the lads are buzzing lookout for an away win

How's this for an omen, Watford's first ever game in the big time (1982) was home to Everton and we won 2-1.

Omens stand for nothing though!

We have a lot more pace in our side compared to '99, we are much more prepared for the battle ahead, I'm more confident now that we are able to make a better show of it and make 17th place ours!
Bring on Everton!
