Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted August 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2018 (edited) “Good evening Sir” “Good evening Stubbs!” “I must say you seem in excellent spirits this evening Sir” “Excellent indeed Stubbs, excellent indeed.” “The football Sir?” “Indeed Stubbs, indeed” “Amazing what a win can do” “Ahh, yes but it’s not just the win Stubbs. Though no doubt that has helped. It’s the performance. The performance!” “But the points help Sir” “True yes, they slowed the baying mob. But really, win, lose, draw…it’s the performance you want to see. You want to see things done right. You know, tackles, headers ,forward passes. Shots!” “You do seem in more jovial spirits this week Do you fancy you’ll get another one tomorrow Sir, Ipswich isn’t it?” “How do you know?” “Well I was in the pub last night and –“ “Ted!” “Yes Sir, Ted” “In the Nuns Chuff?” “The Nuns Habit Sir” “What habit?” “The pub” “Is she a big drinker then?” “Who?” “The nun!” “No Sir, the Pub- The Nuns Habit” “Oh, yes, well whatever, what did this Ted have to say about the win against Millwall?” “Well Sir, he said really what he was saying before the game…” “Hmmm?” “That you should be, erm…” “Say it Stubbs!” “…..beating teams like that, Sir. That it should be expected. Y’know, small club, no fans-“ “A small club on an undefeated 23 match run!” “- no money, a manager with one ********, how if 'you can’t beat them you may as well give up with the game” “What the hell has Harris’ genital situation got to do with our chances of beating them!? Hells teeth, the man had cancer of the Gonad! Has this Ted no compassion?” “I don’t think so Sir. He wears a Burberry cap” “How old is he?!” “51 Sir” “Ugh. And what did he think about the kids who played? Anything positive to say about them? The boys Penney and Preston? Four out of that back five have come from our Under twenty threes you know. A real boost to the heart of any Wednesday fan to see them out there in action. A real feather in the cap for the academy” “He said it’s only a sign of how bad the club has become that they’re relying on them” “So no positives whatsoever from the man?" “Not really Sir” “But, what about Matias' performance! What did he think of Matias?” “That he has the smile of a shire horse and the legs of Ruffian” “Good God! And Luhakay?” “He said that with all the messing and meddling he was bound to get lucky at some point” “Luck? Luck? What luck?! He’s walked into a club with a team on it’s knees, a club owned by a multi-millionaire but who has so far been allowed to spend four hundred thousand guilders” “Quite Sir” “Bloody luck indeed! So he gives the manager no praise for the improved performance, but is prepared to give him full blame for the defeats eh?” “That seems to be about the strength of it Sir” “Tell me Stubbs, are you going to the Nuns Chuff-“ “Habit Sir” “Yes. Habit. Are you going to the Nuns tomorrow?” “I was going to Sir” “Well I’m coming with you. I want a word with this Ted” “He won’t be in Sir” “Oh?” “He’s barred Sir” “Whys that?” “He was fighting with O’Reilly Sir” “What about?” “Well, Mr O'Reilly opined that it was a brave move by the manager dropping some of the older players and putting the kids in and that he deserved credit for the win” “Quite right too” “But Ted said that Big Mick would have done it weeks ago and that we’d be sitting on 12 points by now if they’d given him the job last season when Carlos left” “Really?! And the fight?” “Well O’Reilly called him out Sir. Pointed out that Ted hadn’t mentioned McCarthy at all last season when Carlos left. In fact, he said that Ted had wanted the lad Hurst from Shrewsbury to get it. How he’d banged on that he was just what we needed. Young, English, knows the League, Yorkshire lad” “Oh did he indeed? And what does he think of Ipswich’s start to the season under that very manager?” “Funnily enough that's exactly what O’Reilly said Sir. Well Ted denied ever saying it of course. O’Reilly said he did , Ted said he didn’t , there was the to and fro and next thing you know the tables gone over and they’re at it. Stella glasses flying, fists everywhere.It was all getting a bit out of hand, but then Mrs Wankskill thundered around the bar and pasted the both of them and hurled them out of the door” “A formidable woman Stubbs” “Quite Sir” “Hang on…hang on a moment. O’Reilly you say?” “Yes Sir” “I thought O’reilly froze to death last Christmas whilst fixing our battlements on the North wing. Is he alive!? Did he thaw out afterall?” “No Sir. It was O’Reilly’s son fighting Ted in the pub” “Oh. So O’reilly Senior is dead then?” “Very much so Sir” “And…where is he? What did you do with…no, actually don’t tell me” “Well. Let’s just say the roses came up nicely this year Sir” “I don’t know what I’d do without you Stubbs” “Very good Sir.” “Right. Time for bed I think” “But you haven’t chosen the music for the match facts yet Sir” “Ahh yes. Now, let me see. What will fit this week? Out with the old in with the new perhaps? No. No. Think man. Think. Oh, I know, I’ve got it. The perfect piece to celebrate our youngsters coming of age ,of them…..spreading their wings for the first team.” “Oh, I’m with you Sir. An excellent choice. Goodnight Sir” “Goodnight Stubbs" *Go on. Press play and think of those kids wearing that shirt with pride! ************ Wednesday – V - Ipswich EFL Championship Hillsborough Stadium Kick off : 15:00 Owls 11/8 Draw 21/10 Tractors 21/10 Sheffield Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay could stick with the much-changed side that beat Millwall in midweek. Youngsters Fraser Preston and Matt Penney made their first league starts in the win, while striker Lucas Joao could return from a groin injury. Ipswich could be without Cole Skuse, who has a knock, with fellow midfielder Jon Nolan carrying an ankle problem. The winless Tractor Boys will however be bolstered in midfield by the return of Tayo Edun from suspension. MATCH FACTS Since a 2-0 win at Hillsborough in April 2007, Sheffield Wednesday have won just two of their 18 league games against Ipswich (D8 L8), with both wins coming away from home. Ipswich have only lost one of their last 12 away league games at Hillsborough against Sheffield Wednesday (W6 D5). Sheffield Wednesday have taken 10 points from their last four home league matches (W3 D1 L0) - as many as they managed in their previous 13 at Hillsborough (W2 D4 L7). Ipswich have lost 14 of their last 17 Championship games when conceding the first goal, drawing the other three. The last nine Championship goals scored in matches between Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich have been scored in the second half. Six of the last eight Championship goals conceded by Ipswich have been scored via set-pieces (three corners and three free-kicks). Last time out - : Derby 2 – 0 Ipswich COME ON WEDNESDAY!
