What were the chances that we'd crawl into Hargreaves's Peroni fridge in his secret lair just before eruption, or that the fridge itself would be able to take the full force of an exploding volcano and blast us clear to safety" "Mmmm. As I said. Unbelievable." "Blimey, I thought you'd be whooping with joy Stubbs, shouting 'Praise the Lord we're alive Sir!' and what not" "Unbelievable......UNBELIEVABLE!" "That's more like it!" "Unbelievable... that we've just ripped off one of the worst moments in modern cinematic history. I mean it really is poor" "Stubbs what's got into you?!" "You must know. I know you do. It's the scripts. These bloody scripts. They're really sinking to new levels." "Well it's the difficult 3rd season isn't it. Always happens" "Indeed Sir. Oh FFS!" "What?!" "All this 'indeed Sir' business. It's all I ever bloody say! I'm sick of it. Sick of this role. The sarcastic butler" "Oh come Stubbs, come , you're not a Butler. You're a valet." "Valet, butler what's the bloody difference. It's just sarky asides and nothing else. It's repetitive. It's killing my creativity" "Well you must have known when you took the role? I mean, the sarcastic man servant with a knowing 'indeed Sir' is one of the great tropes of British literature." "Well I'm finding it very restrictive. I went to RADA for crying out loud. I turned down Pirates of Penzance with Martine McCutcheon for this. I mean who the hell writes this cr@p?" "Just the one chap apparently." "Well that's where we're going wrong. We should get a team of writers in like they do with the top American shows" "On this budget? Blimey Stubbs. We're lucky to be able to afford the gifs with what Hargreaves is paying never mind a team of top comedic minds" "Still...I just , I'm not sure I can carry on with it. I think the whole thing is risking losing it's integrity. Where's the realism?" "Realism? Good God Stubbs, this is Owlstalk, 90% of what appears in complete pie in the sky, the flakey fantasy worlds of addled minds making stuff up" "But we shouldn't be going along with it. We should be an island. And island of quality on a sea of sludge" "Look. We just have to crack on. Make the best of it. Work with what we've got. Look, come here old cork. Come here. You just have to be professional about it. And it could be worse. Think about all those great actors that have had to try and work magic with Zak Snyder scripts." "I suppose so" "I mean to say, look at Jeremy Irons in Batman-V-Superman. Totally under used. Given piffling lines that could have come from the pen of a school-boy" "Mmm." "Look, when we get back I'll have a word, see if we can't fill your character out a bit" "And a bit of consistency too! The only two times they've ever given me lines away from the house I was a cockney in one episode and a born and bred Yorkshireman in the other" "I think they were trying to make you mysterious. Besides no one ever remembers the detail." "Well it just came across as lazy. Why can't I have one proper canon back story?" "Blimey. Don't start bandying 'canon' around. @DeeJayOne and @OWLSTALK did that once in the film thread. Carnage." "I just don't think I can do it anymore unless things pick up." "Well, some bad news there old cork. You've signed up for four years. Got the contract here...you can't do anything else. You're like Pierce Brosnan tied to Remmington Steel and having to knock the Bond gig back and watch Dalton getting it." "Can't we just get someone else in? A replacment for me. They did it 3 times with Lucy Robinson in Neighbours." "Yes. And she got better looking everytime Stubbs. They can hardly do that here can they and risk the limelight being took away from me" "So I'm stuck" "'fraid so old Cork" "Bloody hell. I'm going to get typecast like Harry.H.Corbett." "Stay. It'll pick up." "Ok. Ok. But I'll tell you this, if we start meandering away as badly as LOST did in the last three seasons then I'm out of here. Out of here! Contract or no bloody contract" "If we lose our way like LOST did I'll be leaving with you!. Right then.... Shall we?" "Go on then..." **** "Bloody hell Stubbs, we're alive!" "It's a bloody miracle Sir!" "I can't believe it worked." "Unbelievable" "Isn't it just. What were the chances that we'd crawl into Hargreaves's Peroni fridge in his secret lair just before eruption, or that the fridge itself would be able to take the full force of an exploding volcano and blast us clear to safety." "True enough Sir. But we've lost time." "You're right Stubbs, there's no time to waste. We must get back to England at once and capture Hargreaves for his crimes against Emojis" "Very good Sir!" ***** Wednesday - V - Brentford 7:45pm Kick off Hillsborough Stadium Team News Sheffield Wednesday - Fernando Forestieri is available after missing the 3-1 victory over Swansea on Saturday through a ridiculous suspension. George Boyd (Badly), Morgan Fox (back) and Jordan Thorniley (hee-ad) could return but Sam Winnall (building fitness) , Gary Hooper (golfing) and Kieran Lee (doomed) remain sidelined. Fernando has never played against the pigs though so it's to be hoped he doesn't tweak anything against Brentford and keep that run going. Brentford - Ezri Konsa may be back in the Brentford defence after serving a one-match ban. Marcus Forss (back) and Luke Daniels (calf) may travel but Rico Henry, Lewis Macleod and Emiliano Marcondes are out. **** Match facts Sheffield Wednesday have lost their last two Championship matches against Brentford, both 0-2 - however, both were at Griffin Park. Brentford have lost three of their last four league visits to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday (W1). Sheffield Wednesday have only lost one of their last 11 Championship matches (W5 D5), keeping clean sheets in six of those contests. Brentford have won five of their last six league games (L1), including a win away against Rotherham, their only away victory this season. Since the start of last season, this is Sheffield Wednesday's fourth Championship match against Brentford, with a different manager in charge each time (Carvalhal, Bullen, Luhukay, Bruce). Brentford's Neal Maupay has scored in four of his last five league games, with the Bees winning in each of the games that he scored in during this run.

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Snoots - laudable on the laudanum - maybe an insane result is in the offing - 5:4 Owls, Westwood with the winner from a clearance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Daz Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Valet Milord !! Too camp for a man of Stubbs' calibre. Needs a proper military title "General Factotum" after this latest escapade. Just as our squad are achieving the echelon of warriors. Onto the battle against Brentford dear chaps. 4 - 1 to The Mighty Owls Reach, Aarons, Hector and Fletch to score. COME ON WEDNESDAY !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Fourth different manager in last 4 games again Brentford. Two 2-0 defeats and a 2-1 victory. So 2-1 it is then. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWL1969 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Stubbs getting above himself. Your a Butler man, do as your told, get back to Blighty and find Hargreaves! UTO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmontonowl Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 2-1 Owls And if Stubbs is fed up of being a butler or valet, maybe he could be your Batman, M'lud. That way he can take advantage of his RADA training 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Thanks Snoots. It was great to see us play with pace and attacking intent against Swansea, really getting on the front foot. Better still, it was clear we had a plan which we executed superbly in the first half especially. For the first time in quite a while, it looked like we'd not just gone out there with our fingers crossed......More of the same, please. EDIT: Also.....add balance. We looked dangerous and quick down either flank, who'd have ever thought of it!!! Hooray!!!!!! Edited February 26, 2019 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookieisdown Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Good grief, m'lud. We just want a nice Wodehousian pastiche. Not this kind of meta self-referential gave-it-up-by-page-11 hi-lit stuff. One of those games which I wouldn't dream of turning out for if I didn't have an ST; but having an ST I almost certainly will go, even though it's a bit of a faff travelwise today, and I may well miss KO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
