Blackburn Rover -V - Wednesday OMDT

[Lord Snooty]

 

 

 "You been to the pub tonight Stubbs?"

 

 "No Sir. I wasn't really in the mood"

 

 "Not in the mood? It's not about your mood! It's about doing the same things. Building a winning routine."

 

 "Winning routine?"

 

 "The Wednesday Stubbs. The Wednesdsay. We got a result on Tuesday. A clean sheet win. We must do everything exactly the same again"

 

 "I hardly see how us doing the same thing again will make a difference to how the team performs Sir. I mean, the match day thread has no bearing at all on what the team achieves on the park"

 

  "Of course it does. Are you really trying to tell me our ravings in here didn't help ensure we got that vital win?"

 

  "That's exactly what I'm trying to say Sir.  It doesn't matter at all what a supporter like yourself does on a matchday, it doesn't effect the result"

 

 "Well that's where you're wrong Stubbs. That is where you are wrong. Because the skipper has come out this week and said exactly that. That the actions of fans can have a direct effect on the way the team performs. So you get yourself off to the pub man, drink what you drank last week. Chat to the people you chatted to last week"

 

 "I'm afraid I can do neither Sir."

 

  "Why?"

 

  "Well because the pub is shut now Sir and besides, the people I chatted to last week are no longer drinking there"

 

  "Oh no. Have they been barred?"

 

  "No Sir, they've been locked up and sent to the Asylum with the other cultists"

 

 

"The Asylum? What on Earth for?"

 

"What for? For dancing around the village square with Russ Abbott style ginger wigs on waving their todgers about chanting about being chosen and for the Meg-signal Sir , it was shinning into the sky all night. It's terrified the children in the village. It's not even Halloween, they didn't have a leg to stand on."

 

  "Good God yes, the Meg-signal! It needs to be turned on again! The looming spectre of Megson must have been one of the main reasons we won. It terrified the lads into that win"

 

  "This all seems a bit far fetched Sir"

 

  "Not at all. Imagine you're a player Stubbs. There you are. It's been a holiday camp at the club for yonks. Turn up when you want, have a chat.  Full English. Bit of a kick about. Off for a round of golf. Play a game of football and all for forty grand a week. Next thing that's all over the lenient gaffer is gone, and now there's bloody grapefruit at the training ground! And a manager that wants you to actually train. I mean to say. Shock to the system and all that Stubbs. They don't want that sort of caper do they?  You wouldn't would you? You want the easiest life you can. You don't want all this sort of carry on at all -being on time. Running about. Then imagine the results still aren't there. And people start talking about this new manager getting the boot. You'd think to yourself. "Hang on a minute, maybe this losing business isn't so bad after all. In fact - Good. Lets get rid of the chuff, get him the boot and we can go back to bacon, double egg, hash browns and a pint of tea'. Well you would wouldn't you? Lets get him the heave-ho and we can go back to the good old days. But then the forums start up their speculation. The fans don't want another easy-oasy-pals-with-the-players-holiday-camp style manager. No. They want someone as disciplined as the current chap. But wit out a tach and an accent.  They want an Englishman. Someone who's going to go even more back to basics. Someone who likes to see players bust a gut"

 

  "I still don't see how this has anything to do with the Bolton result"

 

  "Well imagine Stubbs. Imagine this scenario I've just given you. You think the little tinker-man is getting the boot. Think you'll be getting another soft touch in. And then, beaming down in the night sky you see the king of them all. The poster boy for the knows the league, English gaffer. And not just that, but one famed for making the players break their balls in training. I mean to say, this Jos character with his double training sessions, he's going to look like your favourite uncle who always brings you a bag of sweets when he visits compared so some ginger fanatic who wants to break you in Greno-woods. Suddenly you start thinking "F*ck this for a game of soldiers, we better start winning or we'll be under an even tougher regime". Wouldn't you?"

 

  "Are you genuinely trying to tell me that the lads won the Bolton game simply to save themselves from gruelling Gary Megson training sessions"

 

  "Yes. Yes I rather think I am. So you'd better get down into that village and light the skies once more Stubbs"

 

  "But the light has been taken by the Police sir  when the lads were thrown in the house on the hill"

 

  "Well go and claim it."

 

  "The Police aren't going to hand it over to us. You know as well as I do that it belongs to the Church. "

 

  "So did half of England Stubbs, it didn't stop Henry the Eighth taking what he wanted!"

 

  "I hardly have the same authority. Besides it's in Clink Street station Sir. There is no way-"

 

  "But we need that signal!"

 

  "There's no way in"

 

  "Hmm. It is well protected Stubbs it must be said. It looks a big ask. But there must be a way?"

 

  "Unless..."

 

  "Unless what Stubbs?"

 

  "Unless we had a man on the inside"

 

  "We don't know any Policeman Stubbs"

 

  "Who said Policeman Sir"

 

  "But we don't know any criminals Stubbs. And if we did. Why would they help?"

 

  "What if , what if we pretended that we were football agents and that if they helped us out we could fix them up with a club"

 

  "Well, yes. We have to try anything. But who do we know on the inside Stubbs?"

 

 

 

 

  "When he's the answer Stubbs ,you know you're asking the wrong questions. But...It might just work. We need that light.  Right , you get down there."

 

  "But the match day thread Sir. We haven't even started it"

 

  "Crack on then man. Crack on. Sat here with your idle chit chat"

 

BLACKBUN - V- WEDNESDAY

 

  

 

 

  "Stubbs. Your slacking. Getting lazy.  You've spelt Blackburn wrong"

 

  "I was trying to get their accent Sir. Y'know, going for a bit of the local colloquialism"

 

  "Well don't"

 

  "Does this mean if won't be able to say Brat-furd. if we get the Bantams in the Cup Sir?"

 

  "Yes it does. Now bloody get on with it"

****

Match facts

****

 

• Blackburn have lost their past three league games against Sheffield Wednesday.

"Excellent. Crack on." 

 

• Sheffield Wednesday have not won back-to-back away league games against Blackburn since the 1982-83 season.

"Scrub that."

 

"What do you mean Sir?"

 

"I mean scrub it. I won't have the negative stuff."

 

"But it's a fact Sir. A match fact"

 

"Give me the pen. See there you go. Scrubbed. Thats better."

 

• Blackburn have lost back-to-back league games against Preston and Wigan; they last lost three on the bounce in April 2017, a season in which they were relegated from the Championship.

 

"Keep that one"

 

• Sheffield Wednesday ended a run of six league games without victory (D1 L5) with a 1-0 win against Bolton last time out; they are looking to win consecutive games for the first time since September (three straight wins).

 

"Keep"

 

• Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray has lost just one of his five home managerial games against Sheffield Wednesday (W2 D2), a 1-0 defeat as West Brom manager in April 2007.

 

"Scrub"

 

• Sheffield Wednesday have scored more goals from outside the box (nine) than any other side in this season's Championship; Adam Reach has scored (four) or assisted (two) six of those nine.

 

"This is the third week on the spin you've dug this one out Stubbs."

 

"Yes Sir and it's still factually correct"

 

"Well ok, but don't start getting lazy"

 

"I won't Sir."

 

"Anymore news?"

 

"That's it."

 

"No team news?"

 

"Well. Pelupessy will be playing Sir."

 

"I just said don't get lazy. Are your smirking?"

 

"No Sir."

Go with the heart Wulfers,  go with the heart.

Going with the head only ends in tears. Look at Bill Clinton.

 

[trumbullowl]

Brilliant Snoots, brilliant. I must say, Snoot Hall is looking a bit like the gaff in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I can see Stubbs as Riff Raff, but beyond that....

Well anyway,

WE ARE THE FAMOUS WEDNESDAY!

WE'LL WIN, WE'LL WIN, WE'LL WE'LL WE'LL WIN!

[Morepork]

Thanks Snoots. We have a great opportunity to build a little momentum, let’s take it.

PROPER OMDT

 

Bravo mi' Lud

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

THE WEDNESDAY

[The only way is S6]

Quality omdt as per. Given the pundits phrase ‘anybody can beat anybody in this division’ why can’t we go over the hills & win this?

2-1 to us.

UTO

[Simaniac Owl]

So HE is responsible for our clean sheet win without even being our manager. Now that is pure genius. 

 

Only The Ginger Genius could manage such a feat. 

 

 

 

[Holmowl]

Well done Snoots. Very astute musings as always.

 

If you can keep your head whilst those around you are losing theirs, you’ve been at the cooking sherry again.

 

All aboard the Optimist Express. 0-1 Wednesday. Reach has been looking likely to score every game recently. Fancy him to get one the right side of the post today.

 

Then beat Rotherham, then look up rather than down.

Cough cough.... 

if I can help in any way?....

one may have influence... 

 

beaten to the head / heart quote again I may give it up graciously but heart says back to back wins. 

 

Loving the OMDT.  Back to a bit of satire!  Think you are a bit mad to do it but I really appreciate the effort you make.

God bless and UTO

 

PS laugh out loud moments throughout

[airborne_rat_of_s6]

Win would be an excellent result. Mutterings of the playoffs being still on if we do.
