The teams walk off, the home crowd having had the wind taken from their sails.45 min: Spurs ping it around. Watford look not so much shellshocked as kind of sad and unhappy. Probably just as well the break is a minute of added time away.42 min: BUT CLASS WILL TELL! Watford 0-1 Tottenham Hotspur. Walker breaks upfield down the right. He slides the ball inside to Van der Vaart, just outside the centre circle. The Dutchman advances towards the area, drifting left, then from 30-plus yards hits a slow, low bouncer towards the bottom right. Plumley Loach should meet it, but instead lets the ball skip over his hands and into the net. A decent, if not spectacular effort, but what poor keeping. This is hard on Watford, who have been the better side.40 min: Tottenham again with a lot of passes 30-40 yards from goal. The minute they try to shuttle it further forward, it all breaks down. Modric, of all people, wings a hapless long pass out for a goal kick, yards from the nearest white shirt. "I was at the 1987 game," reports Paul Kerrigan. "I remember Plumley taking the field like a conquering hero, pumping his fist to the massed ranks of Watford fans at the Holte End. That was about 15 minutes before the picture at the top of the page was taken."37 min: Spurs are beginning to see more of the ball, and the majority of it within Watford territory to boot. But they're not finding it easy to manufacture anything near the area. Down the other end, Doyley pesters Livermore and nearly wins a corner. Watford look the more likely at the moment, even if that's not saying much. "Isn't chanting 'Stand up if you've paid your tax' in an all-seater (but three-sided) stadium against everything you were told at school about two wrongs not making a right?" wonders Jonathan Denness.34 min: Sordell has time and options on the edge of the Spurs box, but dillies, then dallies, and finally hoofs the ball straight at Kaboul. His team-mates take the opportunity to give him a short, sharp, barked burst of beneficial advice. "Here in the U.S. we've got the Everton-Fulham match," writes our friend from Illinois, JR. "I suppose there would be more Americans interested in this match due to Dempsey, Donovan, and Howard, though I don't particularly care. I was hoping to see Spurs and a lower division club we hardly ever get to see over here. Also I was curious as to how Chris Foy would be able to hand the game to Watford."31 min: Nosworthy needlessly bundles Rose to the floor, just to the left of the Watford area. Van der Vaart whips the free kick to the far post, in the general direction of Kaboul, but Nosworthy tidies up the mess he's made with a strong clearing header. Spurs are struggling to worry Watford so far.28 min: A free kick just inside the Spurs half is sent into their area by Murray, but it's not worth describing. Tottenham go down the other end. Van der Vaart and Defoe exchange passes just outside the Watford area, the latter belabouring the ball into the ground, sending it spinning back up and forward, and into the arms of Loach, who had previously been getting very bored indeed.25 min: After some neat passing by the home team, Deeney sends another curler into the Spurs area from the right. It's a really decent low ball, finding Garner eight yards out at the near post, but although the striker connects, he gets next to nothing on the ball, effectively cushioning it dead, allowing Dawson to clear.22 min: Watford are stroking it around hither and yon. Eventually Deeney is slipped free down the right, and he sends a decent curling cross towards the far stick, but there's nobody there in yellow to win a header, and Walker saunters off with the ball. "Even by the standards of the time, Watford's shorts are a bit stomach-churning," boaks Gary Naylor. "There's more than a hint of Lady Gagaesque PVC about them and they wouldn't look good on her, never mind Wilf."18 min: The Guardian has no wish to prejudice Redknapp's trial, but it's only fair to report that, with reference to the Watford choir's song on the five-minute mark, the defendant is standing up.16 min: Buaben romps down the centre of the pitch and unleashes a superlative swerving shot towards the top-right corner. Sadly for the home side, there's a wee bit too much swerve on the ball, and possibly a tad too much rise as well, and it sails into the night sky to the right. Still, a very decent effort. Spurs are living very dangerously here.15 min: Deeney trundles down the right. He shovels a cross towards the near post, where the increasingly troublesome Sordell nearly nips in to get a shot away. He's bundled out of it by a Tottenham defensive delegation, but not with any particular conviction.12 min: Watford's wee burst of energy has subsided. Spurs are beginning to assert themselves. Rose drops a shoulder and waltzes down the left, zipping a troublesome low ball into the box. It's hacked clear in a most steady manner by Mariappa. Loach in the Watford goal has had nothing whatsoever to do yet. "For reasons that aren't interesting, I'm an American Watford fan," begins Chicago resident Bobby Otter. "Prior to 2006, I figured quite safely that I was the only American who rooted for Watford. Then Jay DeMerit and a season in the Premier League happened and now I'm sure I'm one of 29 American Watford fans. You'd figure with Elton John involved, Watford might even be one of the top ten supported clubs in the USA, but then again only interesting thing about Watford, from an American perspective, is Elton John."9 min: Hoick! Eustace has an excitable whack from 30 yards. The result goes 30 yards in the air, as well as 30 yards right of goal, which is at least neat and tidy.8 min: This is good stuff by Watford. Murray cuts inside from the right and has a proper dig. Cudicini can't keep hold of the low shot, and for a second it looks like the lively Sordell will slide in and poke home, but the keeper recovers well to smother it away. The home crowd are currently experiencing the sensation of enjoyment, if the noise they're making is anything to go by.6 min: Some twisting and turning by Sordell down the right. Kaboul sells himself, allowing the Watford man to breeze into the area, but no matter, as the resulting effort on goal, aimed for the bottom-right corner, is weak.5 min: Now it's Tottenham's turn to stroke it around. Van der Vaart, on the edge of the D with his back to goal, tries to work a pass around the corner for Adebayor, but it's blocked at source. "Stand up if you pay your tax," trill the home crowd. Wasn't Z Cars enough? Is someone going to leap from the crowd and start prodding him again and again on his lapel?3 min: Watford have started with a confidence, pinging the ball around nicely, albeit to no great effect so far. A nice fast pace to the game. "I believe that's Wilf Rostron and John MacClelland in that photo," writes Simon Frank. "Wilf Rostron!" Ah, the gait of the condemned. It was MacClelland who deflected the ball past Po' Plumley for the second goal. We should probably stop riffing on their pain.And we're off! Both teams get in their huddles, then Watford set the ball rolling. It's passed back to Mariappa, and the defender's clearance is charged down by a lively Defoe. Nothing comes of the incident, to the home side's relief.The teams are out! Watford, in their yellow shirts and red shorts, and Tottenham Hotspur sporting their white tops with dark-blue breeks, take the pitch to the theme tune from Z Cars. This is what's done at Watford, though hasn't Harry Redknapp suffered enough this week?Referee: Chris Foy (Merseyside)Tottenham Hotspur: Cudicini, Walker, Kaboul, Dawson, Rose, Parker, Van der Vaart, Modric, Livermore, Adebayor, Defoe.Subs: Friedel, Lennon, Pavlyuchenko, Bassong, Kranjcar, Assou-Ekotto, Pienaar.Watford: Loach, Hodson, Mariappa, Nosworthy, Doyley, Eustace, Deeney, Buaben, Murray, Sordell, Garner.Subs: Bond, Dickinson, Yeates, Iwelumo, Forsyth, Jenkins, Whichelow.Kick off: 7.45pm.But not necessarily lots of hope. That running total after four games: Tottenham 17-4 Watford.But that match was at neutral Villa Park, and this is on Watford's patch at Vicarage Road. So there is hope.You'll notice I've missed out one game. And that, of course, is the one everyone remembers: the 1987 semi-final at Villa Park. The Gary Plumley match. Plumley was a wine-bar owner and sometime Newport County keeper, whose dad was on the Watford board, and stepped up to the plate when Watford lost their first-choice keeper Tony Coton the reserve Steve Sherwood ahead of the big game. Plumley failed to deal with a Clive Allen shot, allowing Steve Hodge to open the scoring on 11 minutes, and 60 seconds later he'd been bamboozled by another Allen effort, this one deflected past him. He was later beaten at his near post, as Watford lost 4-1. "If a full-time professional had let in one or two of those, you'd have had to keep him away from a rope for a week or two," said Ray Clemence, looking sadly on from the other end of the pitch.Watford have faced their sort-of-near-neighbours Tottenham Hotspur four times in the FA Cup. And lost every single tie. The teams first met in 1922, Spurs winning 1-0. In 1939, Watford were spanked 7-1. And in the most recent FA Cup meeting between the teams, in 1999, Spurs won 5-2. Historical precedence isn't Watford's friend tonight, then, although all those games were played at White Hart Lane, so there is some hope.FA CupWatfordTottenham HotspurScott Murrayguardian.co.uk © 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

• Guardian - Economics 2012-01-27T20:30:01Z Artisan markets are lovely – but they ain't going to save the economy | Deborah Orr

  The days when ordinary people sold their own produce and bought the produce of other ordinary people are long goneOne brief phrase in Nick Clegg's call for tax cuts, aimed at low- to middle-income families, says more about Britain's current economic predicament than the rest of the debate around the subject put together. Clegg calls for the tax system to be rebalanced so that it "encourages ordinary people to drive growth". That sounds splendid.The trouble is that "encouraging ordinary people to drive growth" is harder than it sounds. In fact, in a developed economy, it's something of an oxymoron.Sure, consumption drives growth, and everyone needs to consume. But consumption needs production. What can "ordinary people" produce that other ordinary people will want to consume, so that they can drive growth? The harsh answer is: not much. Here is the great paradox of our so-called market economy. The access of ordinary people to ordinary markets has been severely curtailed by technological advancement, mass production and the globalisation that it ushered in.One only has to look, literally, at actual markets themselves, to see how things have developed. Farmer's markets, or artisan markets – they are lovely places to shop, and sell quality goods, locally produced. But they are expensive. Shopping at that sort of market is a luxury. The markets frequented by low to middle-income families are quite a different matter. They are cheap, yes. But the goods offered are imported goods, of low quality and made by the poor of developing nations. The growth driven by ordinary people tends to be in far-off nations, not in our own economy.The same divisions can be seen on local high streets. In areas without much money, small shops have been routed, unable to compete with the hangar-sized retail services offered by big companies. In areas with money, however, small shops selling specialised items thrive, staving off the march of the chains by virtue of the very fact that they are more individual, less "ordinary".The days when ordinary people sold their own produce, and bought the produce of other ordinary people are long gone. In general, neither the artisanal producer nor the artisanal consumer is ordinary. This is the basic but unacknowledged problem that Britain has been struggling with for ages: how can people be kept consuming when they are not producing? How can national economies be sustained when local economies are dying?These questions, simple as they may seem, are actually at the very heart of contemporary political debate. The last Labour government, let's face it, gave the wrong answer to the first of these questions, an answer which was not in the least opposed by the "opposition". That answer was to create cheap money, in the form of cheap debt.The financial crisis has very comprehensively illustrated that this was not a tremendously sustainable solution. The great mystery now is how anyone ever believed that it was.But Labour also tried to answer the second question. It created lots of public sector jobs, largely based in places with ailing local economies, which provided employment in dying places. This may not have addressed the underlying problem. In fact, it was funded using the unsustainable revenue generated by wrong answer number one.But it was, nevertheless, socially ameliorative, a sticking plaster over a wound, but better than nothing. It has not taken long for George Osborne's belief that the public sector was strangling the private sector to be exposed for the risible fatuity that it is. The public sector grows when the private sector fails. It is not the other way round. But there is not a great deal of consolation in merely establishing that the Tories have no more of a clue about how to lead the nation to the "sunny uplands" than Labour did.A lot of Britain's problems are encapsulated in the very fact that politicians feel perfectly comfortable pontificating so patronisingly about "ordinary people" at all. Yet they all do it. Labour even boasts that it's "ordinary people" that the party exists to champion.Ask any politician what makes a person "ordinary" and they'll offer some guff about "the decent, hard-working backbone of the nation". It's nonsense. What they mean is (airy waggle of wrist): "Oh, the undifferentiated mass that we don't expect much of, except votes."Much of the particular trouble with Britain is that its much-trumpeted revolt against "the class system" was so unimaginative. Private education may be widely reviled. Grammar schools may have been (almost) eradicated. Yet the emphasis on academic success has actually intensified. There is little sense that anything other than a specific type of quite substantial educational attainment can pluck a person out of the ranks of "ordinary people" (with even that something of a gamble). "Everyone else" has to make do with some "lesser" form of qualification, or come to terms with "educational failure". Sure, being dumped into a secondary modern at 11, to be designated as "factory fodder" was pretty horrible. But it seems to me that children now are just given more time to come to terms with the idea that they are "not academic", and therefore, well, not much use.Amid all the talk of how Britain needs "practical skills", usually accompanied by some statistic involving the creation of a piddling number of apprenticeships, there remains a suspicion that this is merely a way of shutting down opportunity, and promoting elitism by other means. Yet what could possibly promote "elitism" more effectively than distrust of the practical, especially in an economy that relies so heavily on services?Sure, our economy needs to be able to compete globally. Sure, that's not easy when the global market is so competitive. But people need to be able to compete locally, too. Among many other economic recalibrations, there needs to be acknowledgement that global markets crush local markets, and some willingness to tackle the kinds of protectionism that global markets employ.Peter Mandelson this week popped up to give dire warnings about "creeping protectionism". Yet large companies constantly use protectionism to grow their own organisations. They sell spare parts at a premium, for example, and only to their own salaried fitters, when they should be obliged to sell them at a market rate to people who mend things locally. The very idea that you need to provide the serial number on your cooker so that the company that manufactured the thing that broke in the first place will deign to come and mend it – minimum call-out: something exorbitant – ought to be anathema to free marketers, but somehow just isn't.The degree to which "ordinary people" are trammeled in their choices about the services they can offer, or consume, is massive. Then politicians stroke their chins, and suggest that changes in the tax system are the thing that will help "ordinary people" to drive the economy.It's a bit of a farce, really. I find a line from Blake's Songs of Experience particularly haunting: "Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy."Certainly, the commodity does appear, at the moment, to be in perilously short supply.Public sector cutsFinancial crisisPublic services policyPublic financePublic sector paySupermarketsRetail industryBankingFinancial sectorNick CleggEconomic growth (GDP)EconomicsDeborah Orrguardian.co.uk © 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
