Their finest achievment to date was of course being the first team in the Championship to have the Giant Shadow Llama visit their ground and at the same time be featured in the Tay Tay gif of the Owlstalk Official Matchday Thread. We won 2 - 1 at theirs, ate all the chips and drank all the beer.

 

Giant Shadow Llama was actually born a few days before at St James Park, Newcastle or The Mike Ashley Palace of Rubbish Football and Money Making Mischief Stadium as they call it now, during an unholy union between an Owls fan’s hand and a Toon floodlight on that magnificent night as we thrashed them 1 - 0 in the league cup.

 

Giant Shadow Llama will be there today as well, to ensure that even more pudding is rubbed into the faces of the hapless Brentford players as we score goal after goal after goal.

WE ARE GOING UP! SAY WE ARE GOING UP!

 

What a fantastic time to be an Owl.

 

THE SERIOUS BIT

 

Venue: Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield.
Kick Off: Saturday, 13th of Febuary at 15:00

 

Matchday Apparel: Home shirt.

 

Matchday Drink: Probobobobarbly beer.

 

Matchday Pie: Best get four, it’s going to be chilly.

 

Matchday Song: Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste Of Honey…

 

 

MATCHDAY FACTS

 

Sheffield Wednesday midfielders Sam Hutchinson and Kieran Lee will both be assessed.

Glenn Loovens remains sidelined with a groin injury but goalkeeper Keiren Westwood is expected to be fit.

 

Brentford will be without midfielder Alan McCormack (ran out of honey) and defender Andreas Bellend (fighting a hornet).

However, the Bees are boosted by the return to training of striker Scott Hogan, who has been out since August 2014 after two cruciate injuries.

â–ª Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their last five against Brentford, winning three and drawing two.

 

â–ª The Bees have failed to score in their last two trips to Hillsborough (D1 L1).

 

â–ª The Owls have recovered 13 points from trailing positions this campaign - the most in the league.

 

â–ª Only Fulham's Ross McCormack (48%) has scored or assisted a higher share of his team's goals in this Championship season than Brentford's Alan Judge (45%).

 

â–ª Gary Hooper has averaged a goal every 104 minutes this season; the best minutes-per-goal rate of any Championship player with five or more goals.

 

â–ª Only Hull (21) have won more points in their last 10 games than Sheffield Wednesday (20).

My prediction: Three goals for us, a slapped arse for Brentford. Ooooooh!

 

KING CARLOS’ WORDS OF WISDOM

 

“We know what we are doing, how we are doing and why we are winning. We are excited but not excessively so. We are in a moderated mood, we understand that to win the games we must fight a lot, we must have character and we must play like a team. But we are with our feet on the floor, we are in the process and we try to correct things.”

“The boy Hutchinson has obviously got some explaining to do going by the picture above but you try to correct things when they are not perfect and this week has been fantastic. I believe that on Saturday we can do even better.”

Wonderful OMDT, as per, Pauli. Bit confused by the Matchday Song because 

a) there was one of those "skip Ad" things that I didn't realise was one of those "Skip Ad" things and

b) I wasn't sure if I should be in a  sold-out-to-commercial-radio jazz bar or a very laid-back disco when listening to it

 

Judging from Pauli's info, Brentford deserve more respect than they usually get, history-wise, methinks.

We will have to thrape 'em though! :biggrin:

Hmmm..stage fright night be the order of the day.

Sneaky 1-0 reverse or A very frustrating 0-0.

Hope not

Good God, no! With the confidence that alcohol supplies to all good Wednesdayites, I can firmly state that this will be won by THE WEDNESDAY in a canter, maybe even a trot. With time for a bit of dressage done by a horse ridden by that prehistoric old lady ridiculously dressed in a top hat and tails. I wonder if she's "gorn to 'er reward in 'eaven".

Best one yet Pauli

Love the song

Didn't know Daz, but will raise my part of the roof in memory of a Wednesday brother

4-1 to the Wednesday boys

Forestierri, Hooper, Wallace and a rare goal for Jack Hunt

Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

It's a perfect 125 BPM. Just right for Boogie Oogie Oogieing our way way into a promotion place.  +100 for the use of the the word "thrape" though.

 

 

Hmmm..stage fright night be the order of the day.

Sneaky 1-0 reverse or A very frustrating 0-0.

Hope not

 

Never mind, everybody get's a + from me if they post on the first two pages of the the OMDT.

Cheer up love.
