    Well not really - Giaretta’s desk was cleared and he was back in Italy waiting to be re-tasked. He was no longer working for Watford (for a week at least!). Quite how this Lazarus story has come about since, I think leaves everyone stumped.

    Narrator: Sacking Giaretta was not, in fact, a sign that Pozzo would be backing Edwards0

    In classic spaghetti western style, Dux went for his holster but Gino beat him to it, blew the pistol out of his hand and then put a bullet in the chest of his protégé.

    So the guy that signed all this dross the last two years, acts as a spy for Gino, doesn't know how to use Instagram and basically was hounded out of Udinese for being utterly ***** has been given a second chance while the young manager got booted.

    I'm at the point where Gino has started to resemble a character in The Thick of It.

    Ah the good old days revisited of unnecessary Burnsy meltdowns and public spats with random people. Every single day.

    One of the best posters, chased away by heavy handed mods. The forum is much worse for his departure.

    He had great content and clearly cared about the club but was clearly over-sensitive to anyone challenging/questioning his posts. It's about getting the balance right. No-one wants a sterile forum but at the same time no-one wants endless to-and-fro arguments cluttering every thread. Definitely miss his insider content.

    Yes I miss his content - clearly knew his stuff and his analysis of our performances and potential signings was really interesting.

    Nonsense TuT. I for one really miss the arguments. Burnsy, HB1, WatfordTalk, Kelso, Jon G - even Rous and Hooter. There are only so many times I can read that Bayo is garbage or that we hope Luton do badly.

    Bring back all the barmy phalli please!

    I miss Malteser 1. A way better poster and a more cheerful sod than the current incumbent of the Malteser franchise.

    I never got the Spain / HB1 connection, did he live in Barcelona? Was Spanish? Was neither?

    Ask @wfcmoog. Can't recall the back story he gave him.

    Claimed to be Spanish but had absolutely flawless English. Also claimed to fly in by private jet to watch Watford

    Much missed character :)

    'Liking' this for the first paragraph, very much not for the second :cool:

    Didn't he also make claims like having watched every home game for decades or something? Amongst many others.
