Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted September 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) "The storm rages" "It'll rage if we don't win tomorrow Stubbs" "Oh?" "Another defeat and the floodgates will open.Then the real hammer will start getting dished out" "If you'll excuse me saying so Sir, it was only on Wednesday that you told me it would all blow over. That it was only one defeat and that it was part and parcel of football to lose a game now and again. Especially if you haven't got the best team in the division." "Yes. Well, that's what I thought. But I can feel it. Another defeat and the tide may turn. I can feel the angst every-time I turn on the radio. Every-time I log on. Couple more like this and they'll be calling for change. I've already seen one Facebook post today calling for the manager to get the boot. And it had plenty of likes clicked underneath it too" "Is the form really that bad Sir?" "Well, no it isn't actually Stubbs, now you mention it. It's actually ok. In fact. If managers got the boot for their form over 6 games then actually it would be Steve Bruce who would be getting the boot. Least he would if he was here!" "So are his teams fans calling for him to be sacked too Sir?" "I don't know. I can't understand most of what they say to be honest with you. They might be. But I have a feeling sure he'll get a fair crack of the whip" "How so?" " Well, because he's English Stubbs. He's English. And fans like an English manager who knows the leagues" "I see." "And this Villa, are they flying away with things? Is this bad form of theirs a mere blip?" "Well perhaps. I mean you can't rule them out. He's got decent record of promotion and they have some good players. In fact, he's spent £88m, on players since he's been at the club" "£88m Sir?!" "Yes" "And they're still in the same division as you?" "Yes." "And how much has your manager spent Sir?" "In real money about £375k" "Oh. Right. And how long has this Bruce been there?" "Two years." "And your manager Sir?" "Nine months" "Right..." "Look Stubbs Bruce has a record for promotions if given time" "And your man?" "Actually he does too" "But you want yours out after spending £375k and only having 9 months in the job" "I don't want him out!. But some will. Already they are calling for his head. That's what I was saying earlier. Another defeat and it'll start getting louder" "I see" "I know Stubbs. I know. But that's just the nature of football and football fans. Some wanted him gone after two games" "Really?" "Really" "Well. Best hope for a win then Sir. Keep it all at bay and keep things positive" "Yes we'd better Stubbs. Have you got the team news" "Yes Sir. Quite thorough notes too. Though I have to say that the historical facts don't look to good Sir." "Bloody hell. Right. Pass them here.That'll be all Stubbs" "Good night Sir." "Good night" Villa Park Kick Off: 15:00 Aston Villa have won seven of their last nine league meetings with Sheffield Wednesday (L2), with their two defeats coming in the last two seasons. This will be Sheffield Wednesday's 67th league visit to Aston Villa - they have never won back to back away league matches at Villa Park. Since the start of last season, Aston Villa have lost just one of their 16 home league matches played on Saturday (W9 D6) but that defeat was against Sheffield Wednesday in November 2017. Sheffield Wednesday have only won once in their last five away league games (D1 L3) and have lost three of their four such matches in 2018-19 so far. Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia has scored three goals in his last two league matches against Sheffield Wednesday. Including play-offs, Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce has won nine of his 13 league matches against Sheffield Wednesday (D2 L2), although he did lose to them at Villa Park in this exact fixture last season, a 1-2 defeat. Steve Bruce has no new problems as he prepares to take charge of his 100th game for the club against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday. Villa emerged unscathed from a relatively routine 2-0 home win against Rotherham in midweek, when new boys Tammy Abraham and Yannick Bolasie were both on the scoresheet. Midfielder Mile Jedinak and defender Axel Tuanzebe are vying for recalls to the Villa side. Scott Hogan (groin) is back in training but he is not expected to feature against the Owls, while fellow striker Keinan Davis is still recovering from the groin problem he sustained during pre-season Sheffield Wednesday striker Steven Fletcher is pushing for a recall. The experienced Scot came on as a substitute and scored during the 2-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest in midweek. Sam Hutchinson has recovered from a groin injury and resumed full training this week but it sounds like Wednesday boss Jos Luhukay will resist the temptation to bring the midfielder back into the squad this weekend. Fernando Forestieri will complete a three-match suspension, while Kieran Lee (knee) and Joost van Aken remain out injured. Promising defender Jordan Thorniley is ruled out, while striker Gary Hooper has suffered a minor set back. Michael Hector is expected to make his debut and deputise for Thorniley MATCH FACTS This will be Sheffield Wednesday's 67th league visit to Aston Villa - they have never won back to back away league matches at Villa Park.

I didn't think you was gonna make it tonight" "Neither did I. His Lordship was late out of the bath and he always likes his Match day notes to read before I knock off for the night" "And how is the barmy sod?" "All right really. Mind you ,tonight just as I left him to read his match day facts and notes, I got to the end of the hallway and I heard him bawl at the top of this lungs "Oh that's great, the bedwetters will love this!" "Whats' that mean then?" "I don't know. Like I've said before, odd lot all these football fans. If they're not vvanking each other off on the Kop they're apparently p!ssing themselves." "Aye. They're funny f*ckers the lot of em. Pint ?" "Please ,Love" Edited March 9, 2021 by Lord Snooty 16 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumbullowl Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 This game was about the highlight of the season last year. Fantastic goals by Reach and Rhodes, and a great performance all round. Old Carlos did get it right sometimes. Team was Westwood Hunt Lees Loovens Fox Wallace Bannan Butterfield Reach Hooper Rhodes Only three of those will play today, but apart from Hooper I reckon we're just as strong. No reason we can't win this. WE ARE THE FAMOUS WEDNESDAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Back down to earth, I don't know what to expect ( I do in reality ). So my best hope is a clean sheet and I will be happy. But think of the History of our great City. What we need is something to convert our best efforts into positive result. I've got it, maybe The Bessemer converter ! UTO COME ON WEDNESDAT WAWAW ! Edited September 22, 2018 by nevthelodgemoorowl 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardo Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 thanks for the info Snoots. I understand the millions spent mean nothing when it is just 11 v 11' and lets face it they are nothing special. Win today and we will be back on track..... Where are he w@nking seats again? Do I need to move mine for Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Very clever dialogue between you and Stubsy Snoots. Good point. Our fans need to show more patience. We get our first proper look at Hector today. Lets hope he is the business. Big, strong and athletic. Exactly what we need. Obvious changes... Hector for Thorniley Fletcher for Nuhiu Palmer for Baker Penney for Fox and I would make one more, Pessy for Matias, and go 442. Dawson Palmer Lees Hector Penney Onomah Pessy Bannan Reach Joao Fletcher Why? Gets Joey back with Bannan Brings Bannan more central. He was too left Wednesday. Puts Reach into easily his best position. Brings Lucas more central Matias was very lightweight and anyway played twice in 4 days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Not a prayer today. My birthday so disappointment looms large. Already had a decent start to the day, once the kids are awake it'll all be downhill though. Having said that it's Wednesday on a Saturday so owt could happen. In the course of this post I've got optimistic, we could snatch a win today. That'd be nice. Come on Wednesday, make an older man happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bulgaria Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Excellent omdt as ever. I must take issue with one point however. Jos seems to get an easy ride having only spent 350 grand, but in my opinion he has some cracking players at his disposal. If I became the manager of say Liverpool and could only spend 350 grand, and results were very meh, could I use my lack of funds as an excuse, or would most say I should be doing better with what I inherited?
