    So we have this season:-

    Won 11
    Drawn 11
    Lost 11

    Our current league position is 11th
    Our average final league position over the last 50 seasons in you guessed it, 11th in the championship!

    Get you money on number 11!

    Eleven of the twelve months of the year have 30 or 31 days.

    Watford FC Forums are from this date going to be obsessed with the number eleven.

    Coincidentally, eleven is also my favourite number so there is that as well. :)

    And Wikipedia tells me it's the smallest positive integer whose name has three syllables.

    Correct. However the smallest possible Integer is impossible to know, due to an Integer being a whole number it can be positive and negative. Most computers for example have a built-in pre-defined limit as the smallest computable whole numeric.

    I'll get my coat... :)

    It’s been well known for a long time we’re a top 31 club so no surprise.

    Here's a cracker for you: It's also possible to cut a cheese into 11 pieces.

    That can't be right, I thought the Pozzos were solely responsible for us not being a League 2 club!

    There are also more than 11 variants of cheese. Which go nicely with the more than 11 variants of biscuits.

    Dairylea and Dairylea light are 2
    Name that cheese

    Isn't it just a processed "spreadable" paste? I don't eat Dairylea myself so I cannot say what type of cheese they use, but it could be a variant of many. Seriously Strong for example mainly use Cheddar but add flavourings to it for extra taste. Or they 'mature' it for a stronger more luxury flavour. :)

    As many of us said earlier this season - average.
    In such a polarised world sometimes the middle is a comforting break for a while.
    I think what frustrates some is that we are average this season, not awful, not great and we havent been this way in a while so some dont know how to be when we arent depressingly awful or doing fantastically well.

    Lets just be neutral and gray and enjoy another 33% wins this season

    ...and how many players on the pitch did we both start, and end, the match on Saturday with ? Don't tell me that's coincidence.

    Yeah, we haven’t been this average since… last season.

    Surely that depends who you ask? Some say 11 and some say 10? (because Raj)

    What's the real answer? Who knows anymore??

    AND if you write 11 in roman numerals, you get XI.
    Replace the X with a V, and you have VI.
    Eeerie........
     
  23. I had 11 on the back of my first ever watford shirt. It was the Solvite shirt and I got it as John Barnes was my favourite player.

    True story.

    VI also means 6 in roman numerals.

    When we eventually sack VI we'll be telling him to F off, i.e. flicking him the 'V'.

    VI + V = XI !
