"I'd have thought it was obvious, Sir, given you've telephoned me on the land line of the Nuns" "Lose the attitude, I need you to come home at once" "Has there been some sort of disaster,Sir?" "I'll say there has, I've had to sort out my own evening meal." "You haven't burnt the place down have you ,Sir?" "Of course not, I haven't made anything myself. I've been down to the chip-shop in the village" "Then if i may be so bold as to ask,Sir, what is the issue?" "I'll tell you what the issue is Stubbs, I'll tell you what the issue is. I had to queue for 20 minutes-" "That is the way of things now, Sir." "I'm not on about the wait, I was just giving you the whatsit, the background." "The background to what,Sir." "To the issue, Stubbs. To the issue" "Which is?" "Which is, I got home , eventually , after my treacherous and gruelling expedition , got in the kitchen, unwrapped the spoils of war" "Yes?" "And the cloth-eared bint in the Chip shop had given me a carton of baked beans! Baked beans I tell you. With fish and chips! What sort of world are we living in!" "I see the problem, Sir" "I should think you do. Anyway. I've had to throw the lot. Man cannot have fish and chips without mushy peas. It's a crime against, whatsit ,culinary...thingy" "So you haven't had any supper,Sir?" "Of course I have. I'm not completely useless without you. Despite what you'd like to think. I'm quite capable." "Then,may I ask why my presence is required?" "I don't feel well Stubbs. Not well at all." "What have you eaten?" "About half a pound of liquorice. Giving me terrible visions. Ghastly vivid dreams" "What about?" "Allsorts" "FFS, Sir. These jokes are right out of the 1970's. Who writes this drivel?" "Never mind that. You need to get back at once. Knock me up one of your concoctions and then help me with the matchday thread." "Can't you copy and paste one? We usually do, including the wrong date and kick off time." "No. It's all to do with this black screen thingy that the young ones like. Something to do with making Owlstalk look like a 1990's website. All very groovy or some-such" "I'll be there at once,Sir" ***************************** "Have you heard the news, Sir?" "What news?" "The players haven't been paid. Happened once before this I recall" "Where did you hear this news?" "Look North si-" "Ah ha! I thought as much. They love it don't they, eh. A bad news Wednesday story. Don't you think the timings odd? Eh huh? With us having a good restart, the court case looming over like a black cloud. Someone has blabbed Stubbs. Someone in the camp. A mole. Some malcontent determined to undermine our excellent re-start since lock down eased." "To be fair,Sir, if they haven't been paid they've every right-" "Blast it Stubbs, they've just had 3 months sunning themselves. Every right my foot." "A contract is a contract, Sir" "Well maybe so. But lets be right , If you're on a huge goal bonus and you haven't been playing then you're not going to score goals. Therefore you aren't going to get those bonuses. Ergo, they haven't been paid what they think they are due. You can't expect and appearance fee when you haven't bloody appeared!. It's simple enough Stubbs." "I doubt it's that simple,Sir" "Oh, you do do you? Well let me ask you this Stubbs. How many players do you think sit at home poring over the small print of their contracts when they sign them? I'll tell you. Not many. The agent does his bit 'leave it to me ,Corky' and all that caper. Cuts himself a huge slice of the pie, hands the boy a signing on fee for him to go and buy a car with and that's that. They don't know the ins and outs." "Well I wouldn't be so hasty in saying that the-" "By Jove leave it Stubbs. I simply won't have it. This is clearly a small issue pumped large to try and put a negative slant on things. That's what it is. We've had a good start back. Look a solid outfit, we're playing some half decent stuff the, boys look like theyr'e enjoying themselves and this comes out. Someones trying to hijack the good feeling .I tell you there's always someone looking to put a negative slant. It makes me sick!" "A bit paranoid if I may say-" "No you may not. And I'll tell you another thing. This is this the sort of doom tale we're used to around here. This sort of tittle tattle is manna from heaven for the mumpers. Defeat tomorrow and there'll be baying for Monks head on a spike, tearing the club to pieces" "You've had more of that liquorice than you're letting on aren't you.Sir?" "Send a telegram" "A telegram? No one sends telegrams" "To Spain, to Son of Bertrand,The Second. Tell him I want a troop of his Saracen assassins ready to kill the mumpers." "Saracens?" "Ok, Moors then. Don't be finickity" "Show me this liquorice,Sir?" "It's over there in that bag by the back door." "As I thought. Old electrical cable that the electricians were going to weigh in. To bed, Sir. To bed" Wednesday - V - West Brom Championship Hillsborough Kick Off- 19:45 ********************************************** Wednesday will be without Fletcher and and there remains a doubt over Julian Borner. otherwise Wednesday look unlikely to make too many changes after amking a positive post-Covid comeback. Monk may consider resting Lee or Luongo who have have put in lots of miles after such a period of absence and with one eye on long term fatigue issues. Wednesday look likely to keep the Wickham Rhodes partnership together. Wednesday are down to three recognised strikers and this system does allow Monk to pick Rhodes in a way he's best used - In a partnership with a handy unit alongside him. Sheffield Wednesday-: Wildsmith Palmer Iorfa Borner Murphy Luongo Bannan Reach Harris Wickham Rhodes ********************************************************************************* West Bromwich Albion-: Johnstone Furlong Hegazi Ajayi Gibbs Livermore Sawyers Phillips Pereira Robinson Zohore Albion's goal struggles continued against Brentford last time out and Bilic may now be tempted to try something different up top. Kenneth Zohore has underwhelmed since arriving from Cardiff last summer, scoring just three league goals, but he could replace Hal Robson-Kanu on Wednesday. On-loan midfielder Grady Diangana has injured his hamstring and will play no part at Hillsborough, meanwhile, opening up a gap for Callum Robinson to return in attack Albion will hope to expose Wednesday in the wide areas withthe pace of Robinson and Phillips supported by Furlong and Gibbs overloading.

tarn owl Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Good thread as norm and glad to see key issues resolved. Baked beans are dreadful. 2-1 Wednesday win me thinks. Keep the momentum rolling until we go bankrupt or sent to ryman league north or whatever is apparently going to happen.

Rev Owl Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Thanks again MiLord and may I say that you've also come back from the break firing on all cylinders. I think this is all about survival now rather than any kind of big push. I'm hoping for consistency of effort and I think if we can keep going the way we are, we'll bag enough points. WBA must be a tough proposition and I'd take a draw. UTO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBA must be a tough proposition and I'd take a draw. UTO Morning Rev! Agree. The chaps have looked well up for it since they came back from lockdown. As @ReadingOwl said in his post the other day. You can't ask for more than that. You want to see the lads out there and having a go. Getting stuck in. Trying things. Win lose or draw. Thing is the harder you work the more often you get results. We've not fired on all cylinders yet but we're doing the basics well enough. Aye, the big push is probably beyond us. just got to keep picking up points and see how things lay at the end of the season. When, hopefully we'll be in this division still and have a chance to start forging a new team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewswfc Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Entertaining as always Mi lord. Hope WBA do what I'm doing at the moment which is blanking sat at the side of the trent. 1-0 the mighty owls... Onwards and upwards as they say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westfield Owl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 West Brom are proper on the ropes at the moment. They’re winless and goalless in the last 4 Championship fixtures. We won’t get a better time to play them. Shows how poor this division is that they are still 2nd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westfield Owl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Bristol City had also been on a bad run prior to our win on Sunday. Its a good time to play WBA. That’s all I’m saying. Edited July 1, 2020 by Westfield Owl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Well it certainly does take "Allsorts" Trying to get a story out of the BBC is like trying to get the liquorice out of one of the pink coconut wheels without doing any damage. The big story that was there on a plate they were too scared to use. Expose the Mole; Expose the Faking Mole. They missed an open goal there. Anyway Me and Snoots will carry Full Fathom Five into the trenches and then carry him home afterwards just like we did on Sunday we wouldn't want to see him on an LMF charge in the face of the enemy. We'll look after him, there'll be no court martials on our watch ! Come On Wednesday ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmowl Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Well done Snoots. I voted keep same team. Though We don’t know who is fighting for and who is running on fumes. I hope its the same Xl if fit. It is working. The system works and it suits the personnel. Again, I really fancy us tonight. It would spice things up, putting us six points behind 6th with six to play. Devilish. Edited July 1, 2020 by Holmowl 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
