Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted November 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) "Good evening Sir" "Stubbs, what the hell have you done?!" "Done Sir?" "With the bloody external mood setting shot!" "Oh that. Yes, I thought we'd have a change" "Well where's' the old one, the cartoon style one?" "It's in the shed." "But why? I liked that shot. I mean to say, this new one, it's a bit grim" "Brutal Gothic realism Sir" "Well it's depressing man." "Exactly Sir. I thought it was time we had something more befitting the mood of the camp." "Well I'm not depressed!" "No Sir, but everyone else is. Bar one or two other clappers" "I'm not a clapper" "Well, if you keep this up Sir I'm afraid that's what you'll be painted as. You and one or two of the others. Son of Bert the second is already treading on particularly thin ice." "There's always two sides to debate Stubbs." "Indeed Sir, but when things are going awry on the pitch then you lose credence when you go against popular opinion" "Oh. Right. I see. Well, my mind won't be changed yet Stubbs!" "Well, no Sir. I suspected not. But you must understand that if you are to keep up your defence of the manager then you will be taken less and less seriously the way things are going. Combine your defence of Jos and your cartoony avatar... . and some may never take you seriously again." "Well I'm not going to change my mind on things! Not yet at any rate. I believe this is a long haul job we have on our hands." "Yes Sir. I thought as much. Which is why I have also taken the liberty whilst we are having this chat of getting the new maid to change your avatar to something a little more sensible to try and buy you some time whilst you persist to give astonishing defence of the manager " "Good God! It's a bit austere looking! And what's with the moustache?! It looks nothing like me!" "You're in a corner Sir. You need all the help and tricks you can get. You need a more serious avatar to give clout to your laughable defence" "Win tomorrow and no one will be laughing Stubbs!" "And do you think a win is likely Sir?" "Absolutely I do." "May I ask based on what exactly?" "Based on the fact I always do think we can win. Otherwise there would be no bloody point bothering!" "And despite many things pointing to an almost certain defeat Sir?" "Absolutely. I believe we can win, because it's football. Because in my heart, we're Wednesday. The bloody Wednesday Stubbs! And we can beat anyone! We'll beat these lot by two goals to one. A cagey first half. We score. They pin us back, but then Fernando comes to the fore driving in from a pocket on the left after a superb dummy run by Matias and he'll bend one onto the top of the onion bag from 20 yards out infront of the rapturous KOP. The end." "I admire your verisimilitude Sir" Wednesday - V- Frank Lampards Derby County "I'm not going to ask Stubbs. I know what it means" "Know what Sir?" "You must think I'm daft. Crack on with the team news you Cove!" "Wednesday news - Forestieri is back after his hamstring injury/fake injury/ frozen out spell/negotiations to leave on a free/ (delete as applicable) but is expected to be included in Jos Luhukay's squad. Forward Marco Matias is also available. He stepped off the bench in the goalless derby draw with Sheffield United before the international break following his own hamstring problem. Striker Steven Fletcher will be assessed after featuring in both Scotland's games last week, which probably means he won't play. Josh Onomah returned from England Under-21s duty unscathed. Which some people will say is no wonder." "I know you've been drinkinig with that Ted again. I can tell by your tone." "Derby News - Lampard will be without both Craig Forsyth and Mason Bennett after they sustained long-term injuries in the recent home defeat to Aston Villa. Scotland left-back Forsyth damaged his left anterior cruciate ligament and forward Bennett sustained a hamstring injury. Boss Frank Lampard will assess Mason Mount (ankle), Martyn Waghorn (hamstring) and Craig Bryson (calf) after they all missed the defeat to Villa. Summer signing George Evans remains unavailable, but is closing in on his return after a long-term hip problem." "Very good. The match facts?" Match Facts Sheffield Wednesday have won just two of their last 18 league games against Derby (D6 L10), however those two victories have come in the most recent three meetings (2-1 in April 2017 and 2-0 in February 2018). "Well that's something. Another couple of results like that and thats when teams start to think you have the hoodoo over them isn't it. Derby are winless in their last four league trips to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday (D2 L2), losing each of the last two in this run. "Oh yes. This is the sort of stuff we want Stubbs. These are the sort of match stats I like! Don't speak too soon Sir. Ahem....Sheffield Wednesday are looking for their first home win in the Championship since August (2-1 v Ipswich), having drawn three and lost two of their last five there. Only Ipswich (0) have won fewer home games than the Owls (2) in the competition in 2018-19. "You always have to go and spoil things don't you? You could have put this fact first. Got it out of the way. Started with the negative and finished with a positive. I'm starting to think you do it on purpose." Derby are on the Championship's longest current run of games without keeping a clean sheet (9), while they've managed just three in 17 games in the competition this season. "Oh, hello! Whats this then eh! So we aren't the worst defenders of the ball in the division then!" Sheffield Wednesday have scored the most goals from outside the box of any team in the Championship this season (9), while they also have the highest percentage of their goals from outside the box (43%). "Fans love a long ranger Stubbs. Get them off their feet. The lads have delivered this season in that sense. Value for money. We've seen some absolute Worldies haven't we. " Well yes. Perhaps some of the fans wouldn't mind seeing a few taps ins and scrambles too though Sir. Something associated with actually getting in the oppositions box. "This is supposed to be the match facts section Stubbs, not a platform for you to do a doom heavy opinion piece." Very good Sir. Final fact is that Derby striker Jack Marriott has been directly involved in seven goals in his last seven appearances in all competitions (five goals and two assists). "Excellent." Excellent? "Yes excellent. Hector keeps him quiet and it's job done." Indeed Sir... "You can stop talking in blue font bullet points now Stubbs. Thank you Sir. "You really do take the rise Stubbs. I sometimes wonder why I employ you." "The fact that no one else would Sir?" "Good point well made. Right. Well you're dismissed for the evening." "Thank you Sir. Goodnight. And, good luck for the game" "We won't need luck Stubbs. We just need belief , to see the dream unfold as real in front of our very eyes , acted out by those wonderful men, those heroes in blue and white stripes out there on the park making my dream reality. Verisimilitude Stubbs!.... Verisimilitude!" COME ON WEDNESDAY! Edited March 9, 2021 by Lord Snooty 17 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
