watford are back into the top half of the table. fair that one goal, the great save from tom heaton, and other than that for so much of the gamei other than that for so much of the game i thought we were excellent, particularly in the second half, so the result got away from us but i would not knock our performance. there was no happy return to the hawthorns for saido berahino as his stoke side lost 1—0 to his former club west brom. it's six wins from their last seven home games now for the baggies. there's been a lot of talk this week from the opposing managers about berahino, he served a two month doping ban at west brom, and it looked as though tony pulis and mark hughes didn't shake hands at the final whistle. james morrison got the only goal of the game for west brom afterjust six minutes. berahino did come on as a second half substitute for stoke but had little impact, and was booed by the home fans throughout. chelsea are 12 points clear at the top as you know, but second—placed spurs could reduce that to nine with victory at
