pgmetcalf Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 6 hours ago, TheEnchanter said: Battle of the sexy surprised Owls vs the creepy surprised Cats. Today's opponents Sunderland, who have the misfortune to play in red and white stripes, affectionately refer to each other as 'marra'. Although, to the outsider of which there are many, this appears to be merely a colloquial term it is in fact a hark back to Sunderland's smoke filled heavy industrial days when the area, which hadn't yet bid for City of Culture status, was renowned the world over for the impressive size and girth of its prize marrows. It's major rivals throughout history were the smog monsters of Middlesbrough and the Fog on the tynes of Newcastle. Archaeology shows that all three were regularly involved in violent feuds across the north east that would could only be settled by a prize growing marrow competition. History remembers one particularly baron year when all three areas were relegated to the amateur gardeners division which was eventually won by Hartlepool United who stole the show with a measly 4.45 inch marrow beating the nearest competition by an inch and a finger. Nowadays Sunderland regularly disappoints with the size of its prize marrows but the club is determined to stick to its industrial roots and organically grow the club back up to compete at the top level of competition. The surprised cat mascot is symbolic of the response that the locals have to the underwhelming size of its marrows. Matchday food. North stand, nothing. Everywhere else marrow pie. Matchday drink. High percentage lager beer. Matchday attire. Best clobber, no lime pickle everlast jackets. Matchfacts Sheffield Wednesday have only recorded one victory against Sunderland at Hillsborough in their last six league contests (D1 L4), conceding 12 goals at a rate of two per game. The creepy surprised Black Cats have only lost one of their last 12 league encounters with the Owls (W8 D3), winning each of the last four. Simon Grayson, who had a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday in 2000 and has since lost all his scalp hair has lost three of his four managerial visits to Hillsborough - including losing the last two - with the exception a 3-1 win as Huddersfield boss in September 2012. Fernando Forestieri, who regularly adopts the southpaw stance, has been involved in 38 goals for Sheffield Wednesday in all competitions since the start of 2015-16 (27 goals, 11 assists); 10 more than any other Owls player in this period. Lewis Grabban, who's beard is made from Simon Grayson's abandoned hair scored his first brace in league football since February 2015 against his former employers Norwich City in Sunderland's victory on Sunday. Lets do this COME ON BABY ENOUGH WITH THOSE NEGATIVE WAVES! Woof Woof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adifferentgame Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 After our spectacularly poor start, we could be forgiven for going into this one with a touch of negativity, and I've got a bad feeling about this one... So we'll probably win 4-0. Come on, Wednesday! If the season doesn't begin here, it could be the end of Carlos' reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Well, well, well. An OMDT double header. Congrats to TE & LS for the paragraphs of nonsense. Have to tip my hat in favour of Snooty though, simply for the trouser trouble the pic of Daisy Duke caused. Blimey. Anyway. Any win tonight please. Don't care if it's a 90th minute pen after the most turgid, bizarre & inept performance ever. Dare I say that our injuries will force CC to change the normal, regular safe team, so things might improve?! UTO. Time to restore the natural order, with 'the gap'.

The only way is S6 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 6 hours ago, Lord Snooty said: I also want to suggest some new matchday crumpet. There is a logic to this so bear with me. The Wednesdays climb back from the depths to the top table and consolidation 1979-85 coincided with the airing of the Dukes of Hazzard. Now I'm not suggesting for a minute that Daisys Dukes appearance on our screens on a Saturday evening helped recharge the mental batteries of our players and fans but.. Actually , that is exactly what I'm suggesting. All hail the return of Daisy Duke. Owlstalk OMDT mascot and saviour of Wednesday's 2017-2018 season.

Mickjj Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Lot of people having Winnal to score tonight, but let's not forget every time he's scored for us before he has been dropped from the squad the next game. It's the Carlos way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy logics Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Time to put other things aside and support the Team! Sunderland Looked organised and were quite clinical at Norwich but there will be chances for our strikers tonight, we need to take them.

Flat Owl Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 COME ON WEDNESDAY winning tonight and the next two will be promotion form. Just hoping we don't get a slap round the face by Ndong.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 So early in the season but its almost a must win game to register an average start. Anything less than that and Carlos is under extreme pressure and we're already playing catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
