pauli Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 TODAY’S OPPOSITES Burton-upon-Trent is found in that mysterious twilight zone between drunkenness and inebriation. Rarely staying in one place for very long, it is usually witnessed stumbling erratically across the wilds of Staffordshire as it attempts to complete its mythical quest to return home before dawn. If you like beer then there are plenty of pubs and museums to visit. If you don’t, then Burton is definitely not the place for you. The Government of Burton is in a constant state of flux. The frequent wars fought between the rival breweries and the inability of key officials to remember what was decided the night before has led to a novel form of drunken anarchy developing. Leaders are elected according to their ability to consume vast quantities of the local beer and whilst this provides for an entertaining night it makes for poor city management. Fortunately no-one has, as yet, noticed so things carry on regardless, if in a round about manner. Burton-upon-Trent is notable as being the only civilised city that is totally dependent on alcohol and its by-products. Money ceased to be used as currency many years ago and now the people exchange beer in a form of bartering. They also have a football team and that’s how we come to be playing them today. Cheers! IMPORTANT THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Venue: Pirelli Stadium, Burton Kick Off: Tuesday the 16th of August at 19:45. Matchday Apparel: Away shirt, no maracas. Matchday Pub: Tim Burton’s "Mars Attacks" theme pub. Can you take the Thirty Two Pint Challenge and still drive home in a flying saucer? Matchday Pie: Helena Bonham Carter’s Personal Chef's Quail and Artichoke Pie. Divorced Tim Burton because she refuses to eat chips with gravy. Matchday Song: “Sea Groove” by Big Boss Man… MATCHDAY FACTS Sheffield Wednesday striker Fernando Forestieri could feature, after he apologised for not travelling to Norwich on Saturday. Steven Fletcher may start up front if head coach Carlos Carvalhal opts against recalling the Italian forward. Burton have no new injuries or suspensions to contend with from Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Bristol City. Hamza Choudhury and Stuart Beavon may start as Burton seek their first points since being promoted from League One. Head To Head ▪ Sheffield Wednesday lost all three of their away games at newly promoted sides last season. ▪ Nigel Clough has never lost as a manager against Sheffield Wednesday. ▪ The Owls have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four league games. ▪ This is the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Although we have played against another Burton a long time ago. My prediction: We will beat these at football. 3-0 for the Owls. KING CARLOS’ WORDS OF WISDOM “In this moment I am sure we will do what we must do. We will fight for the three points and everybody know the correct attitude, the correct behaviour and what they must do to try to win this difficult game. We want to do better and better, improve the team but so far I am very happy. We must have proper focus for this game, we have prepared the players and are ready to give a good answer. This will be a very, very different game to the other two games. To win the points, we must be at our highest level. It will be very, very different, first because they play a different way, the pitch is smaller, they have lost their first two games but have a very good team. They put a lot of problems to the opponents, they have strong points and we must be very clever to close the good things that they have. Like all the teams, they have some weak points and we will try to explore. But we feel our players are very strong after these two games, full of confidence but we are with proper focus to this game. We are ready to give a good answer.” MINTYNESS We are here to fight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudentOwl Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 3-1 methinks, Fletcher to get a goal, Hooper from the bench to score, and Lee to get his first after a mazy run and tidy finish from 8 yards We've weathered the early storms, HMS You Know What really gets going tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalamunda Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Brilliant Pauli. We will get another clean sheet against a team that have already scored four and score three ourselves. Or four, yes why not four? Wagon Wheels, Richard, the tailor, your boys should get a hell of a beating. FF on the bench, Fletch to start, it's the only way. Lee to get two.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Fessi to come off the bench and score the only goal 1-0 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC1867 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I like the pictures I like tge blue font I like the text I like the music And these flaps have never scored against us. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuttyTeabags Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Great OMDT Pauli. Will FF come in from the cold? Will he give Hoops and Joao another chance to get off the mark? We know Hoops takes a few games to warm up although he did play at Cambridge and does love scoring against Leeds. Joao and Liera up front in that case!

Ronio Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Morning all, Nice one Pauli, quality as usual. Don't think we will walk this game, Burton will give it a good go, but the quality we have in this team will see us emerge as victors. 3-1 Wednesday win coming up. Baz, Abdi and Hoops the scorers.

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Parked the baby at East Midlands Airport and taken chaufer drive to the very nice St Georges Park Hilton on Nevs recommendation it has a spar and gymnasium so I'll stay down here for the rest of the week. I thought the second half at Norwich we were awesome despite the shenanigans and were most unlucky not to take our place at the top of the league. Come what may we'll have 11 men filling the shirts giving their all for Wednesday, just as we the fans do. Love y'all, Up the Owls WAWAW Love Tay Tay big kiss to Pauli another great match day other than Richard O'Donnell made his Owls debut at Burton in a 3-0 pre-season friendly victory several years ago according to Nev. Love Ya Pauli x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJH1867OWLS Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Great OMDT pauli that chair pic though We need to go all out from the off and push for the win to keep the good start of the season going! we also need to show Forestieri we can either do this (get promoted) with or without him but it will be a lot more easier if he joins us, will he play? I dunno........ but I hope this mess gets sorted soon. COME ON WEDNESDAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
