    I think the Millwall Pink Lions caught up with them, (and possibly the Bedfordshire Press).

    HB1, and Rookery Dad still lurk from time to time. HB1 did say he was taking a break from the forum and I am sure he will be back posting again when he feels ready too. Sometimes for a lot of people leaving a forum is the best thing they can do to help with stress. Even the written word can be harmful, as we all well know. We all know who Filbert2 is ;) Smudger seems to of vanished as well come to think of it. Some come back, some don't. If you look at the global statistics, we have more guest users than members on a daily basis. Which means a lot of people view the forum (almost triple on match days) so we are always a viable source even if not all guests turn into regular members.

    Seem to remember he stepped away from posting/possibly going to games and was playing poker a bit more.

    Have kept an eye out for him at away games but haven’t seen him for some time.

    Any update from anyone else would be gratefully received.

    Saw @PotGuy last month in Sweden, my older bro. He's just too busy with life nowadays to look at the Forums and only keeps loose eye on Watford but he's doing well. His older son wears Watford gear to his football practise!

    He wasn't really - despite his constant proclamations of us being a "bottom 6" side (and occasional proclamations of a relegation battle), the last time we were actually in the bottom 6 (when we were 19th) was all the way back on October 23rd (and we ultimately finished 15th).

    I was thinking more of the points - he said we would get 55 .
     
  15. lowerrous

    lowerrous Guest

    When did he say that then? Was it before he said we were in a relegation battle, or after he said Ismael could take us to the play-offs?

    And 55 points in basically every season of Championship history would get the club a higher finish than the bottom 6 team he most typically doom-mongeringly claimed we were.

    I thought he might have done but then a lot was said!

    I found the post you were thinking of, and he did indeed post:

    "Yes, 55 points is around what I think we’ll get, so we’ll be safe, but probably by only 5 or 6 points"

    But also in the same post he said:

    "This is why I consider us a bottom 6 club"

    And then just a few posts later, on the same day in the same thread, he posted:

    "We’re going to finish no higher than 16th but I will expect a bottom 8 or lower final position."

    HB1 said a lot of things, often things which were at odds with what he'd posted only days or hours previously.

    You'd also probably get very bored on here without being able to constantly pester me.

    Personally I think it's right that both HB1 and Henry Hooter are taking a break from the forum for a while it seems. Both had their fans' and enemies on here and the two of them (rightly or wrongly) got caught up in debates that used to span multiple pages. That is never good especially on a person's mental health of all things. Both are more than welcome to return posting when they feel the need too, and I hope when either or both do return they we be welcomed back.

    Presume Henry Hooter is spending the summer in Antibes, and will be back by September?

    Where has @Keighley gone ? Not seen on here since 5th and no posts this year. It's hardly worth proof-reading posts anymore.

    Perhaps it's the shame of making a grammatical error, or he's on holiday.

    Not posting while on holiday is simply not acceptable, contrary to Forum rools.

    Any update on Comrade @Keighley

    He should be home by now and it's starting to get dark
     
  25. The undeniable truth

    The undeniable truth First Team Captain

    I dropped him a couple of PMs but no response.
    Regular posts up to 29/12. Then no posts and
    "Keighley was last seen:
    Jan 5, 2025"
    No obvious Bust-ups ?
    Maybe a New Years Resolution ? "Dry January"?
    Hoop his' okey.

    Maybe he grammatically corrected the wrong person in the street? It's like the wild west out there.

    I think he saw the amount of people spelling it ‘Cleverly’ on here and during that email campaign that he left the country for a remote island without WiFi.

    I'll make this short and sweet - both lowerrous and Burnsy will no longer be a member of this community. All I can say about it is forum rules are in place for a reason and repeated breaking of them ends up this way. Nothing more will be said by the Moderating team on this issue going forward.

    Shame. Lots of arguing, lots of insults, lots of valuable insights. It’s a shame we couldn’t just have the latter, which will be missed. We can’t always agree on everything, life would be very dull.
