HOW Luton still manage to cause Watford fans heartache from the depths of League One is beyond me. As several thousand yellow clad Horns fans scooted up the M1 on Saturday, most of us ground to a halt somewhere near the slightly stinky Bedfordshire town in a traffic jam that seemed to spring out of nowhere.

Perhaps this inexplicable queue should have been a sign for us all to turn around and forget about Leicester altogether, because things only got comically worse from there.

When I eventually did make it off the M1 and into the vicinity of The Walkers Stadium, I was alarmingly attacked by a giant packet of Worcester Sauce flavour crisps.

While, at 2:45pm my mind was solely on getting inside the ground quick enough to sink the quickest of pre match pints, the six foot Mr Crisps had other ideas. Dancing around me waving his shiny blue jazz hands, I think he wanted me to boogie with him in the bank holiday sunshine. Escaping his evil clutches was harder than poor Marlon found getting rid of his pair of man markers on the pitch.

And then inside the stadium, things got comically worse, the world's fattest drummer entered my day. It's great news that Watford have a new drummer in line for the Ipswich game, but whoever our new tub thumper is I pray he's nothing like Leicester's one.

Within sniffing distance from the beleaguered Watford faithful stood this twenty stone drumming beast. Topless, to show off his giant Ali G and Borat tattoos watching his blubber fly as he whacked that drum was reminiscent of Micky Quinn's brief spell at Vicarage Road under Glen Roeder. It was horrific! By the time he'd bounced around to the sound of a fourth Leicester goal rippling the back of the net, the day had got so bad, it had almost become comical.

But let's think positives as Aidy would. Technically, I did have a £4 bet on Marlon for last goalscorer (hence I was jumping around the empty Watford section like a loon in the 95th minute), and yes today's trip to Southend can only be more successful. I only hope there's not a giant prawn trying to accost me for a dance outside Roots Hall tonight.
