:shrug: - I won't bother posting loads of stats and fancy photos as I'll never do justice to Chrissivad's usual standard (Let alone TSH's) so just thought I'd start a thread up.

Tottenham will have Harry Redknapp in the dugout for Friday night's match at Vicarage Road as they look to get past Watford and make it through to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Redknapp
has not been able to take a training session this week as he has been on trial at Southwark Crown Court contesting two counts of cheating the public revenue.
Assistant manager Kevin Bond
has confirmed he is itching to get back to business at Watford
as Spurs aim to continue their fine campaign.
Tottenham knocked out Cheltenham in the previous round, while Watford beat Bradford 4-2 in a thrilling game.
The Hornets have lost both their Championship matches since the third round to slump closer to the relegation zone, and will be determined to claim a famous scalp at home to restore confidence.
Team news
Adrian Mariappa will line up for Watford despite the current speculation regarding his future.
The centre-back was the subject of a failed bid from Newcastle
at the start of this week, with the Magpies' offer rejected immediately having been well below the Championship club's valuation of the defender.
But the developments will not prevent manager Sean Dyche
from selecting Mariappa.
Ten-goal striker Marvin Sordell, who has also been linked with a January move, will lead the line for a Hornets side who are pretty much at full strength.
Influential midfielder Jonathan Hogg returned from a minor knee injury to start last Saturday's 3-0 Championship defeat at Birmingham, leaving just long-term absentees Martin Taylor (broken toe) and Stephen McGinn (knee) on the sidelines.
Gareth Bale
(thigh), Scott Parker
(hamstring) and Younes Kaboul
(groin) are doubts for Spurs.
All three came off during training on Wednesday and are likely to be rested, while Ledley King
(knee) is also expected to sit out
Sandro, William Gallas (both calf) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) are unavailable

Watford
• The 1984 runners-up are hoping to qualify for the last 16 for the first time in three seasons.
• The Hornets have won only one of their last 10 FA Cup matches against Premier League clubs; 1-0 away to West Ham at this same stage in January 2007.
• The 4-2 home win over Bradford City in the third round is the only time Watford have avoided defeat in their four games in 2012.
Tottenham Hotspur
• The third most successful club in FA Cup history have lost one of their last 33 matches against lower league clubs, when they were knocked out by Leicester of the Championship in the third round in January 2006.
• The 2010 semi-finalists, who lifted the trophy for the eighth time in 1991, are eager to avoid a fourth round exit for the fourth time in five years.
• Harry Redknapp's side suffered their first defeat in 10 league and cup matches, with last Sunday's 3-2 loss at Manchester City.
