pauli Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 TODAY’S OPPOSITES While fame, ambition, sobriety and virginity are frowned upon in Rotherham, some entities conceived and/or born there have become recognised outside of it. Most of these either escaped to the safe haven of Sheffield and the Yorkshire Socialist Republic, or otherwise dared to throw themselves into the syringe-ridden torrent of the nearby River Tesco. The town is most famous for producing the Chuckle Brothers during a botched attempt to clone Cannon and Ball in Rotherham Central Library, as well as being the birthplace of David Seamen, a moustached muckfilm film actor who moonlighted as an international goalkeeper. Allegedly, the blunder that knocked England out of the 2002 World Cup was a result of Seamen's fatigue - he had stayed up until 3 a.m. the previous evening filming in a mocked-up North Sea setting somewhere in the Sea of Japan. David Seamen’s father formed their local football club in the late 1960’s and that’s how we come to be playing them today. IMPORTANT THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Venue: Hillsborough Stadium. Kick Off: Saturday the 17th of December at 15:00 Matchday Apparel: Homeshirt, massive flags. No trombones. Matchday Drink: 16 Pints of mulled wine. Matchday Pie: Owls will get a tasty selection of the finest Pukkas. Deep fried toenail clippings and scraps for fans of the Rotherham. Matchday Song: Groove Grease by Jimmy McGriff... MATCHDAY FACTS Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Barry Bannan faces a late check on a foot problem before the game with Rotherham.Fernando Forestieri is still banned, midfielder Almen Abdi could come back following a hamstring strain, but Gary Hooper and Will Buckley are out. Rotherham's teenage on-loan Chelsea forward Fizzy Brown will have a hamstring injury tested. Strike partner Danny Ward will be fit after a wrist injury, but Odem Peterwingie is still suspended. Head To Head ▪ Wednesday are winless in their last five home league games against Rotherham, since a 2-0 win in September 1981. ▪ Rotherham have conceded in 19 of their 21 games this season, while Sheffield Wednesday have found the net in 18 of their 21 matches. ▪ The Owls have enjoyed three victories in their last four at Hillsborough, losing only to Ipswich. ▪ The Millers have failed to win any of their last 13 away league games; they last went on a longer winless run in December 2004. KING CARLOS’ PEARLS OF WISDOM “I think we did really well, when we win everything is ok of course but we are playing the same way in all the games, with heart. Even though we lost the last game at Reading, I think we played against Barnsley at that same level, the same with Preston also and so on. We are playing all the time in a very high level, we deserved the win in my opinion. “I want to congratulate my players for the way they played, they did fantastic against a very tough team. We did very good team work and when this happens, of course I am very happy. I am happy with the team in general, not just individuals. My team understood the moments of the game very well. The different problems the game put to us, we gave the correct answers and this happens because we have had one year and a half with the team and they understand better what we want. Today it is another derby, they are very important to the fans and they are important to us so we want to give a good answer in all the moments of the game. It will be different to Tuesday. They play very different to Barnsley, who play with a style of fast attack, dangerous from set pieces and open up the game which is why they score a lot of goals. Rotherham are more solid, more compact, they are a threat in attack but in a different way to Barnsley. We understand what they will do, we respect them a lot but we will be ready for the game and to fight for the three points. We know what to expect, they have changed some things especially in the last two games, they are more strong in this moment and we respect that. All the teams have attributes and weak points, we must try to explore the weak points and block the strong and we do the same in all the games. We are 100% focused on the game and we’ll play with the same attitude and same soul.” MINTYNESS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJH1867OWLS Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Brilliant OMDT Pauli,well worth the wait! Really hope we smash Rotherham today it's been a long time coming at home and hopefully we don't balls it up! its a shame really cos I used to not mind little old Rotherham, even went to a few games when Wednesday weren't playing and put a fair bit of money in the begging buckets when they dragged them out then they showed their true colours so fück um I hope they plummet out of the football league. As for the game itself I'm going for a Wednesday 4-0! RELEASE THE LLAMA THE BROTHERS OF CHUCKLE ARE COMING TO HILLSBOROUGH AND LEAVING WITH FÜCK ALL! COME ON WEDNESDAY!
