Messages of support as Watford FC faces Premier League relegation

The Hornets will be facing the gunners in their last Premier League game of the season at the Emirates Stadium at 4pm today.

Watford are now in the bottom three after their 4-0 defeat to Manchester City, with Aston Villa just outside the relegation zone on points equal to Watford.

The club still have a chance to stay in the Premier League, but it all depends on their performance in the last 90 minutes.

Fans have their shared messages of support below:

David Harman

"I am 41, but I feel like I did back when Watford played Southampton many years ago. Shilton was in goal for them, we needed to win to stay up. We lost, and I will never forget the car ride home with my father in tears. I am telling you this so you all understand the thousands of people who look up to you, who are by your side. You are our heroes. Please remember the responsibility you hold and how hard you have worked to get to this position as professional players playing in the best league. Shackle yourself free of the past, the pressure, enjoy every minute of our final 90, play with the passion, the freedom and the collectiveness of a team who remember how much joy you can bring to the next young boy and to a father, like I am now. God bless, start with the end in sight, you have conquered far more than this in the past, leave nothing on the pitch, and make us, and most importantly, yourselves, proud."

John Golding

"You guys got this. Focus on your own game, play your heart out, leave everything out there. Play your game, if something happens early, just keep going. Play for yourselves, your squad members, the club, the staff, and us. No matter what we will never stop supporting you lads, UP THE ‘ORNS!"

Michael Jones

"Come on boys, we know you are a good team and can play better than you have. We need another result like the Liverpool one. This means a lot to the people of Watford and the club. Go out there on Sunday and play like you know you can and get the result that will keep us in the Prem, we believe in you. COYH."

"This is an open letter to the players of the club I love dearly. My first and only live viewing was when we played City in the final last year. I travelled thousands of miles from Namibia to sing my heart out for the lads. We were beaten but I never stopped singing and waving my yellow flag with pride! I travelled back after the final from Manchester airport wearing my yellow and black striped home top and not one Manc could have made me feel any less proud of my club. Sunday we may win or lose, and next season we may play championship football, but my only request is that you lads give it your very best attempt. Play for the badge! Play for us supporters that will support till our last breath on this earth. Troy and the lads, fight and give it everything! Everything is all we ask for the 90 minutes. I love my club and will never stop - my sons and I will be shouting you on come Sunday! COYH!!!"

You have done that before too. Remember when that victory had you in the top five of the league. Has the team changed much in this time? No, not at all.
