Watford have done this all before...

Half a century ago, Elton John took over as chairman and brought in Graham Taylor a year later. Five years after that, Watford had gone from the bottom division to the top flight. That’s a ridiculous rise when you actually stop and think about it.

They even finished second in the First Division in 1983, so this is a club that knows what a proper climb up the table looks like.

Last season was nowhere near that glamorous. Watford finished 16th, which probably tells you why nobody should be getting carried away just yet. But that’s also what makes this year interesting. There’s a big old history behind them, and Hornets fans will want to see a bit more of that ambition back in team again.

No massive predictions from us. We’re just quite interested to see which way this one goes.

FAQs

He became chairman in 1976, appointed Graham Taylor the following year and helped oversee Watford’s incredible rise from the Fourth Division to the top flight. He’s still the club’s Honorary Life-President too.
Second. The Hornets finished runners-up in the old First Division in 1982/83, which also earned them European football. Not bad for a club that had been in the Fourth Division just a few years earlier.
All sorts. Goals, cards, corners and other live match moments can land on your card as the game unfolds, so even a scrappy 0-0 can give you plenty to keep an eye on.
Nope. Your card is randomly generated, so there’s no picking the “right” moments or trying to outsmart the game. Just stick it on alongside Watford and see what comes in!

Eight Championship players are one yellow card from a ban

Eight Championship players are one yellow card away from a one-match ban. Card rates show who might be missing, and QPR should line up cover for Jake Clarke-Salter now.

Match Bingo Game Modes Explained

There are three game types on Match Bingo and they behave less alike than they sound. Live Games follow a real fixture as it's played. Bingoals swaps the fifteen events for fifteen teams and needs every one of them to score. Quick Games run every few minutes on football from last season, so there's nothing to wait for.

Does a New Signing Change Anything on Your Match Bingo Card?

Deadline day comes and goes and your card stays exactly as it was. Match Bingo cards are built from things that happen in a match, goals and corners and fouls, rather than from the players who make them happen. No name on a teamsheet reaches a single square. Here's what a signing does change, and what it doesn't.

Is Match Bingo Safe? Licensing, Fair Play and Player Protection

Two things usually sit behind that question: whether the company is real and regulated, and whether the game itself can be got at by somebody sharper than you. Match Bingo is operated by RTSB Limited under Gambling Commission account 51467, which takes about a minute to check. The second answer is duller: there's nothing to press.

What Is Football Bingo?

A card holds fifteen things that can happen in a football match, and each square marks itself the moment its event happens in the fixture you've chosen. You buy before kick-off, then you go and watch the game. Complete a horizontal row of five before anybody else and you take the fixed prize for that tier.
