Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted November 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) "An interesting day then Sir" "Really? What have you been up to?" "No, not me Sir. I refer to the pre-match press conference." "Oh never mind that Stubbs. Lets get on with the Important stuff. Have you prepared the match file" "Well yes, Sir but I thought you'd want to talk about the-" "No" " Very well Sir. Here we go then" "Don't forget your font" "Very good Sir" Wednesday - V - Norwich EFL Championship 15:00 Hillsborough HOME 21/10 DRAW 23/10 AWAY 13/10 Sheffield Wednesday Lucas Joao or Atdhe Nuhiu will partner Steven Fletcher up front if Wednesday retain a forward pairing and don't revert to a central striker and one middle man. Forestieri sits out as he faces a race against time to be fit for Sheffield United. Gary Hooper is set for 10 weeks on the sidelines after undergoing groin surgery while Kieran Lee (knee) is also unlikely to return before 2037. Norwich loanee Jordan Rhodes is unavailable to play against his parent club. Boss Daniel Farke is expected to make several changes to his team as the Canaries revert back to Championship action. Farke swapped eight players for the Carabao Cup tie at Bournemouth on Tuesday night, with Christoph Zimmermann, Jamal Lewis and Alex Tettey the only players to keep their places in the team from the previous weekend. The side that takes to the field at Hillsborough will closely resemble that which defeated Brentford last Saturday, with the likes of Tim Krul, Maximillian Aarons, Timm Klose and Moritz Leitner set to be recalled. Sheffield Wednesday are unbeaten in their last eight home league matches against Norwich (W6 D2) since losing 0-5 in December 2001. "2001. Blimey, that has to be a good portent doesn't it?" Norwich have lost both of their last two Championship matches at Hillsborough by the same score - 1-5. "After today he could probably do with another 5-1. Everyweek from now till the end of the season infact..." Sheffield Wednesday could lose four consecutive Championship matches under Jos Luhukay for a second time - they also did so in March. "And if they do then it will be time to delete the account Stubbs this place will be like the last moments of Pompeii." Norwich City are the only team yet to have an English scorer in the Championship this season. "Crikey. Who knew that Norwich was should a hotbed of foreigners. I always think of yocals when I think of them." "Not really SIr. They've always had their fair share haven't they. Going all the way back to C'nut" "Steady on Stubbs!" "C'nut Sir. The Viking" "Oh, I thought you meant Chris Sutton" Only Norwich's Moritz Leitner (855) has completed more passes than Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Barry Bannan (787) in the Championship this season. "6 million of them in his own half?" "Pardon Sir?" "Doesn't matter" Norwich have won more Championship points across the last 10 matches (23 - W7 D2 L1) than any other side in the division. "Just what we need" +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* "And that's it Sir. That's all I had time to do" "Right. Well. Just remains time for me to shout -: "Come on Wednesday!"

Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted November 2, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) "Really Sir?" "Really what?" "You genuinely don't want to mention today's sensational press conference?" "It was hardly sensational Stubbs. Manager says 'I pick the team. The end' , it's hardly like finding out your dear old uncle has whipped his topper and tail off changed his name to Maureen and flown out to be an exotic beach masseuse on the copacabana is it?" "But Sir. He's batted away today all the rumours about the Chairman picking the team. About the contract extensions. All that stuff that unproven stuff that winds you up. I thought you'd be pleased Sir. You were only saying the other week how you wish the loonies would pack in with their theories. Well surely this puts an end to them doesn't it?" "No Stubbs. It won't. In fact it will only make it worse" "But they've got the answers now-" "But they haven't got the answers they want Stubbs. So it'll just become something else now" "Will it?" "Of course. He's answered the questions but that won't make a jot of difference. They'll probably just accuse him of being a liar" "But Sir, isn't the burden then with them to prove he's a liar?" "This is the internet Stubbs,not the courtroom. They'll just say it's cobblers and that's that." "But not all of them surely Sir? Surely some of them will take him at face value and think 'Well looks like I was wrong'" "Of course they won't Stubbs! You really are wet behind the ears when it comes to this game. People won't admit they're wrong when it comes to football on the internet ...even if the manager tells them to their face they're wrong" "They won't?" "God no!" "But it's there for all to see Sir." "They'll use a diversionary tactic Stubbs , completely ignore the months of 'Chairman picks the teams' stuff they've been saying daily and try and guide the focus onto something else" "And what will that be Sir?" "Well, now he's admitted it's not the Chairman that picks the team it means they can turn their attention directly on the manager himself. And the ones who don't accuse him of being a liar will now say that he has to go because if it has been him picking the team and not the chairman, then he should be sacked for picking the wrong team" "And what's the wrong team Sir? Am I to surmise it's the one that loses a game?" "God no! It's not as complicated as that Stubbs. The wrong team is the one that isn't exactly the same as the one a looney has in his head" "But you could have two loonies together who might have different team in their head." "Exactly. But that doesn't matter. We're entering the period now where every team he picks will be wrong." "Except when they win of course Sir" "Oh no Stubbs. Not even wins will stop it now. He's in their targets. He's killed their bogeyman theory , he's slapped down their contract extension ghoul. And people don't like that Stubbs. People don't like their black and white, right and wrongs and simple idealisms being taken away from them. In many ways, by answering the questions, Jos hasn't solved the problem of their misdirection, of their strange fuelled theories by giving them his version at all. Oh no. He's merely turned all the groups attentions onto him personally and now they will never rest. You see these people have to have a conspiracy Stubbs. They have to have a bogeyman, a conspiracy. And he's taken that away from them now. So they will need a new theory. And they will make him the star of that fantasy. He's cleared the chairmans name selection wise, cleared the names of those that dished out the contracts, and he's put himself in the cross-hairs in their place. Nothing will save him now." "Apart from wins Sir" "No Stubbs. Not even wins. He's their new bogeyman. He's not Jos to them anymore . He's Mr Freeze to them now. And they won't rest until he's gone."

Nero Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) TBH I'm struggling to decide whether the match day thread or the current injury list is more far fetched/farcical. Edited November 2, 2018 by Peacenocchio 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Owl Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thanks Snoots. The satire is, perhaps by necessity, becoming heavy handed bordering on telling it straight. Doubt anyone will notice though . Head 0-1, Heart 2-0. Hoping heart will break it's duck this week. UTO 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) I’m taking the positives!!!! At least the JR loan contract had a clause preventing him from playing against us......things are looking up! I am concerned about his Lordships sleep patterns though.....thanks Snoots.

Ibbo48 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 But Snoots. What about the travellers ? Could you accommodate them in the grounds of the manor? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Of course there's this approach ... If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. Sir Winston Churchill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gresh Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 We need to get back on the winners trail so I'm going for us with a nervy 1 v 0 win, with our first clean sheet of the season in the league this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I don’t know when “we” as a society transitioned to choosing to believe rumour and hearsay over facts, reason and logic but it will be our undoing......I blame the Americans. It started with preping for the Zombie apocalypse, flat earthers and maybe even creationism.....in turn it developed into an inability to separate fact from fiction. FFS.....
