To be fair, it's easy to see why the neutrals want The Wolfs to win. Small town team with a population of disaffected, disconnected, Brexit loving racists, with nothing to do since the slowing down of the industrial revolution in the early 20th century.
Here they are, with a chance at a Wembley final, for probably the first time in their history.
It's the classic rags to riches, David Vs Goliath. Of course the media are going to back the plucky underdogs who are massively punching above their weight.
I've spoken to a lot of Wolf fans, and despite their appalling accents, I've discerned that most realise that they will drop down the table and finish about 10th, which will be a massive success for them, and also that the Semi final is the biggest game in their recent past and probably, their near future.
The talk from the Wolfs fans on the Internet is consistent with this. They will sell their tickets out and sing their hearts out, regardless of the result. And good for them. It's the biggest day out in their town's history and the result is not important to them. It's just about enjoying the day, marvelling at the infrastructure and architecture of Brent and the surrounding Harrow areas, and going home with a few memories of a trip to a world they didn't even know existed.
The Wolfs are this season's Burnley - a motley crew of journeyman pros assembled on a shoestring, with spirit and guts, who've upset a few of the big boys along the way, whilst being schooled by the likes of Watford and Huddersfield, who know what it really means to live amongst the big boys in the Premier League. They've managed to surf a wave of pure determination and momentum, but already, there are signs that is starting to wane and I think any Wolf fans who are honest with themselves, would take 17th place next season, if offered to them now.
I have nothing but respect for the Wolfs of Molinux and hope they enjoy their day out. For Watford, it feels a bit unromantic to say, it will be simply business as usual. Get a result and hope none of our players get injured by their clogging lads.
Good luck to them for the rest of the season, except when they play us lol!
