Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) READING - V - WEDNESDAY MATCH FACTS Reading have won six of their last nine home league games against Sheffield Wednesday (D2 L1). Sheffield Wednesday have faced Reading twice in 2018 and won both games - 3-1 in the FA Cup in January and 3-0 in the Championship in April. This is the first time that Reading have failed to win any of their opening five games in a second-tier season since 1997-98 when they finished bottom of the table. Sheffield Wednesday striker Atdhe Nuhiu has provided three goals in his last two appearances against Reading, scoring twice in the FA Cup in January and assisting as a substitute in the Championship in April. Sheffield Wednesday have lost consecutive away league games - they last lost three in a row back in October 2017. No Championship goalkeeper has made more saves this season than Sheffield Wednesday's 23-year-old stopper Cameron Dawson (20). *** "Reading Sir" "What about him?" "The team Sir" "Oh them. Yes. Well I'd almost forgot about them in all the excitement" "What excitement is that Sir?" "The new signings Stubbs. The new signings of course!" "Oh. Who've you got?" "Hector and Onomah" "Sound like undertakers" "I hope you aren't trying to be funny" "No Sir." "This is it Stubbs, the turning point of the season" " I seem to remember you said the same about the win over Millwall" "That was just turning into the bend man! This, this is us racing out of the bend and accelerating out of it!" " I've never heard of either of them." "Exactly!" "I'm afraid I don't see-" "Young lads Stubbs. Making their way in the game. Full of hunger and desire. Lads on the way up. Forging a career. These are the sorts of lads you want. " "One of them is 26 Sir, hardly a boy making his way. In fact , in footballing terms, he's middle aged if anything" "I won't let you throw a spanner in the works! You won't bring me down on this one. Besides. 26 is nowhere near peak age for a centre half. He's still off his prime. He's the perfect signing" "Centre half? Last week you were saying Thorniley had earned the shirt Sir" "He has." "So where do this leave him? Or the new lad? Unless you go to 3 at the back again" "NO! no Stubbs. I don't think there will be any need for that" "Well I'm sure it's all very exciting signing players Sir but they have to be fitted in somewhere" "You always have to try and put a downer on things don't you Stubbs" "Not at all Sir, just trying to look at the situation rationally. If the new lads go straight in, then that surely dictates that some other players have to sit out" "I know that!" "Well, I was only saying. I mean, who would you drop for them?" "Do you have to say 'drop'. It sounds so negative." "Would you prefer I said 'rested'" "Yes. That's better" "Like you were 'rested' from the Choir just before the Christmas-" "I told you never to mention that again!" "My apologies Sir" "That bloody Choir master, he wouldn't know a singer if one bashed him over the head" "I recall you did bash him over the head with the manager from the nativity scene" "Stubbs!" "Sir..." " Now. Get me the videos. Lets see what the lads have to say." Hector & Onomah First Interviews "Oh yes Stubbs. I like the cut of the defenders jib. 'Getting stuck in'. He must have said it 4 times in that interview. That's what I like to hear" "I'd have thought getting stuck in was a prerequisite of the game Sir" "Well that's where you are wrong Stubbs, you obviously never saw Danny Maddix play. Never made a tackle all the time I saw him. Awful" " Yet you wax lyrical about Paulo Maldini never making a tackle either." "That was entirely different. He didn't tackle because he already knew what was going to happen next. You really are argumentative tonight Stubbs, worse than usual and I don't like it. Hey your ear , it, it looks like its hanging off. Give it here let me have a look....it's...Christ almighty it's coming away in my hand....what the ...what the hell.... MY GOD!.... ....HARGREAVES! " " My disguise has failed. But I'll be taking you anyway by force if I have to" "Unhand me you fiend" "You've got to go. The I've been offered a coffee machine in part exchange for you from Reading Forum" "I thought you were off the coffee?! And what the hell have you done with Stubbs?"

theowlsman Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) Get to bed Pauli. Tha’ll be knackered in the morning, which is when I’ll get around to reading this crap with a mug of black Earl Grey (no sugar forbid) and a sausage butty. Looks like your best ever though if I could be arsed to read it. As for the football, Reading 0 The Wednesday 23 (Nuhiu 20, Bannan 3). ps - Batth tha’t crap anyhow pps - it’s Sheffield, North of England, Pizzatatio or whatever you’re called. Greece is not the word, or the way, or the motion. You can stick yer Olympiakos up yer pandered assshole. You’re crap n all.

No no Paz, don't feel bad about me using the last of my battery which I could have used to ring for help!! No idea what was happening with this one! From 2014.. The Arsenal win blueprint. .

Holmowl Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I play golf Saturday mornings. I stand on the first tee, feeling confident I’m going to play brilliantly and win in style. I then spend the next few hours finding countless ways to fek it up. I follow the Owls Saturday afternoons, feeling confident they are going to play brilliantly and win in style...etc etc etc Today I am more confident than ever. (The Footie that is) 1-3 to Wednesday. Great stuff as always Snoots. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I'd go Dawson Palmer Lees Thorniley Penney Bannan Hutchinson Matias Foriesteri Joao Fletcher But you Pelupessy will play and doesn't deserve to be dropped tbh! Nuhiu and Reach will start, but if Jos can drop Foriesteri and Hutchinson after Brentford he should drop these tow.after Ipswich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Cosby Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Loving it m'lud!! Don't worry, I think @OWLSTALK has a cunning plan... Reading think they are signing you, but actually they'll be getting @Costello 77 a bit like when AC Milan thought they were buying John Barnes, only to end up with Luther Blisset I'm buoyed significantly by the last few weeks. João, and particularly Bannan resigning are hugely important for us. Coupled with the emergence of some young, genuine talent and two signings in areas we all knew we were weak, I have renewed confidence that Jos is making the right decisions for the short, medium and long term. Let's get another win today and we can all go into the international break with some real confidence... When was the last time that happened!? COME ON YOU BLUE AND WHITE WIZARDS!!!

sternlad Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Top notch Snoots old thing! Optimistic we’ll get something from today’s game, will the new boys get a game? Not sure they will to be fair, possibly on from t’bench. I’ll be dragging my sorry carcass around the cricket field this p.m. so that’ll take me mind off the goings on down in Reading...will give them a cheer from deep, deep cover ( good spot for avoiding hard ball travelling at light speed) Come on you blue and white front striped wizzzaaaards!

striker Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Tough game for a number of reasons but after two good results at home in the league need to carry thst through into away games. Expect the new signings will provide added motivation to maintain performance levels. Hope Fletcher and FF start, think we can sneak a win by the odd goal today.

Doghouse Daz Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Brilliant MDT milord, really confident with this one, 0 - 5 to The Wednesday. Cam to get a bit of relief from his shot stopping duties with a much tighter defence, and ploughing on upfield. Shots for Reading 0, shots for Wednesday 33, 18 on target. FF, Fletch (2), Joao and Onomah the scorers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
