Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted August 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2019 "Home Sir?" "Yes, home Stubbs. No place like it. Though its been a decent few days away, its aways good to see the old relatives eh" "Sir, the man trussed you with a bell rope and threatened to pull up the timbers and lower you into the blood-pit as a sacrifice to Mithras!" "Aye, he's a tad eccentric old Cedders it must be said. Nevertheless, blood is thicker than water and what not. You help out where you can" "Well perhaps Sir, he might help himself by paying his bills and keeping the bailiff from the door in future. They'll be back if he doesnt" "Bailiffs? Dear, dear me, Stubbs, but I wish you'd pay more attention. They weren't bailiffs" "They weren't?" "You really must pay more attention. Did you not notice that all these bailiffs had six fingers?" "They did?" "Indeed they did Stubbs, I spotted it straight away. They were Dingles Stubbs! Dingles! The whole thing was little more than a ruse to get me out of the way before the big game" "Well if you knew it was a ploy, why go along with it?" "First and foremost it kept me away from here and extolling the virtues of our man Bullen, which Id have been tempted to do after the routing of Reading and that would have only added pre - match pressure to the erstwhile Scot and I didn't want that. Secondly, it allowed me to get into cousin Cedrics place without having to push for an invite. I've been wanting to get round there for a while so this episode was an opportunity too good." "And why , if I may be so bold ,Sir, did you want to get inside cousin Cedrics dilapidated old pile?" "For this, Stubbs! For this!" "Sir, please don't , you nearly had my eye out. What is it?" "This! This Stubbs! It is one of the 13 treasures of ancient Britain." "It looks like a rolling pin" "It is a rolling pin!.." "And what use it to you sir? We already have a rolling pin.Infact we have several." "But this is the Rolling pin of Elmet" "We have a lot of those too, have you been under the concourse at an away game recently?" "The Kingdom of Elmet,Stubbs! The Kingdom of Elmet. Here this ancient land, before Fargate, before Montys motors, way back through the mists of time, before Sheffield!" "Right oh, Sir" "The 13 treasures wield great untold power Stubbs. We're going to use them to steer us to promotion, with Bullys help." "And what are the other 12 treasures Sir, I've seen nothing lying around the house.Unless they're all rolling pins.." "Your facetiousness shows you up Stubbs!" "Sorry Sir, it's been a long week" " Stubbs, you remember the boy Stevie May?" "I do Sir, you once described him as having a shot as powerful as a rhubarb leaf blowing gently in the wind" "Yes, yes, forget about that though. His footballing prowess wasn't the reason he was brought to the club" "It wasnt?" "No, of course not. He was brought because he was the only jock warlock with a time travelling shark... Stuart Gray wasn't only a superb defensive coach capable of coaxing clean sheets out of a team with Jeremy Helen and Jaques Maghoma in it Stubbs, though by heavens that was a miracle by itself, no, Gray was a top level necromancer and had already plotted our return to the promised land harnessing the power of the 13 treasures. That's why he brought May to the club! Sadly a small squad, and injuries meant May had to waste much of his time here playing togger rather than searching the kingdoms. He did retrieve some though." "Such as?" "The arrow of Gwynedd" "Like the silver arrow in Robin Hood?" "No Stubbs, like the tungsten arrow of John Lowe" "A dart?!" "Oh yes, they loved a dart the ancient Taff's ,Stubbs. Still do." "And where is this arrow, I've never seen it?" "It's in the front room holding up the picture of great uncle Hubert. Thats why the Gods made them like ordinary intems Stubbs, hidden in plain sight. And this year we're going to track them down and power to promotion!" "Crikey Sir, this could end up be a long and drawn out storyline. I fear it could end up losing its way like LOST after season 2." "Don't worry about that Stubbs, if the worst comes to the worst we can just ditch it half way through. No one will notice." "Very good Sir." " Are we nearly home yet? I'm gagging for a brew." "We're here ,Sir" "Great shades of Elvis, what's happened!" "Well, the roof caved in during the rains, the electric and water have been cut off, the gas too has been cut off, the Gardner has walked and got a job at Chatsworth, the builders have downed tools." "But why?! "Well, they haven't been paid ,Sir.Any of them." "Well why haven't you bloody well paid them!" "I did warn you not to "lump everything we've got on Rowett", Sir" "Oh, bolllocks. Right then, get the messenger Rook out Stubbs, we'll have to send Hargreaves the Match facts the old fashioned way." Millwall - V - Wednesday 3pm The Den Millwall will start either Bartosz Bialkowski or Luke Steele in goal, with Frank Fielding out with a thigh injury. Steele, on loan from Nottingham Forest, played in the Lions' Carabao Cup first-round win at West Brom on Tuesday. Sheffield Wednesday hope to have Barry Bannan back after the midfielder missed their win at Barnsley last weekend with a calf problem. Manager Lee Bullen has goalkeeper Keiren Westwood and defender Dominic Iorfa back from suspension. Match facts Millwall have won just one of their last 11 league matches against Sheffield Wednesday (W1 D4 L6), winning 2-1 in February 2018. Wednesday are looking for their first league win at The Den against Millwall since February 2015, when they won 3-1 (winless in two since). Millwall striker Matt Smith has scored 14 Championship goals as a substitute - since his debut season in the competition in 2013-14, only Lucas Joao has scored more often as a sub (16 goals). Wednesday are looking to win their first three league matches of a season outside the top-flight for the first time since the 1990-91 campaign, winning promotion at the end of that season. Millwall have kept eight clean sheets in their last 13 home Championship matches. Wednesday have named the oldest average starting XI age in the Championship so far this season (28 years and 192 days). 38 16 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pressure than lads!!! Wednesday have named the oldest average starting XI age in the Championship so far this season (28 years and 192 days). And we all thought that we had gotten rid of all the old players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalamunda Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Welcome back. While you were away we went back to the top of the Champ, which is where we will stay after today when we beat Millwall 0-3 with goals from Luongo, Bannan and Fletcher. Hurrah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I'm for the caretaker Utah carrying on..head to head it's 1-1... Welcome back Snooty.. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Westwood back in would be my only change, perhaps controversial but I'd rest Bannan a while longer on the bench if hes not 100%. We looked a threat on the counter attack last week, so no real need to be more pragmatic just because were away from home. We looked to have a nice balance about us. I've got the last two results spot on (complete fluke) and apologise in advance, but the first result which comes to mind is 1-1. Of our opening games, this is one of the most difficult. Of course its a winnable game and hope my mini run of correct result predictions is ended in our favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post S36 OWL Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 We were all worried Snoots. There was a nasty rumour doing the rounds that you and Stubbs had been caught by SAG trying to leave the Barnsley game via Leppings lane from the North stand . 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
