"This is the new set, Sir." "Set?!!?" "Yes sir, it's a mock up of the house. The fire represents the living room, the middle section the front doors..." "I can see what it represents Stubbs, but what I want to know is.. where's has my facking house gone?!" "Ah, right. He didn't tell you.... Hargreaves has sold it ,Sir" "Sold it!?" "Yes, he's worried about a second wave of the Covid, Sir. Doesn't know what the financial implications of it might be and is having to make moves for all eventualities." "Understandable Stubbs, except for one problem. It's not his house to sell, It's mine!" "Ahh, well" "Never mind 'Ahh,well' , my family have lived in a house on this site for over 1000 years. Pre-bloody Norman conquest! And if you don't believe me then check back among the old match day threads. The evidence is in there in print!" "Indeed ,Sir. The family history was mentioned in one particular match day thread." "Thank you!" "However, there was a writers strike at the time,if you remember and that particular thread was fan fiction" "What does that bloody mean!" "It means, Sir, according to your contract with Hargreaves Entertainment Ltd, that the story isn't officially recognised." "Are you trying to tell me..." "I'm afraid so,Sir It's was a non- Canon storyline " "Good God!" "Indeed, Sir" "But still you'd think... after all I've done for the chap. What an absolute rotter. All those sodding Steve Bruce press conferences I transcriptsed for him... Bullys Bullets! Remember those?" "I do,Sir" "And this is how I'm repaid! With a bloody cardboard stage set. It's some thanks I must say" "At least he hasn't let us go,Sir. At least we're still here. Speaking of which.." "Huh?" "Well, Sir we really should be pressing on,Sir. The team news is in." "Pressing on? You don't seriously expect me to do the matchday thread now do you?" "We are still under contract,Sir" "No, I'm not doing it from here. No. Not a cat in hells chance" "The Nuns then,Sir? Or perhaps the Miners Helmet?" "Oh! Hasn't Hargreaves sold the pubs?" "How can he ,Sir. They're entirely fictitional." "What, really? Like ITK transfer rumour fictional?" "Exactly,Sir" "Get the car, Stubbs, the Nuns awaits!" "Very good,Sir" "What the..? "It's the best we could get ,Sir. £5 from the Crucible. Cinderella 1984" "Let me guess. Hargreaves sold the Carriage with the house" "Afraid so ,Sir" "Well, Christ alone knows what Peter.F. Goulty is going to think about all this. He thought it was bad enough last week when we were in the proper house and actually talking about football." "Oh well. Up the Owls Sir" "Aye. Up the Owls ,Stubbs!" WEDNESDAY - V - WATFORD EFL Championship Saturday 19th September, 2020 Kick Off: 15:00 Hillsborough Stadium *************************** TEAM NEWS Wednesday boss Garry Monk has a selection quandary against Watford. Both Jordan Rhodes and Josh Windass bagged goals in the seasons league opener against Cardiff. The latters a strong run and finish under presser and the formers, a typical box players finish, the type of goal which Rhodes had forged his pre Wednesday career on. A midweek debut goal and impressive display by Elias Kachunga will have given Monk food for thought, and the German was also unlucky to see another header crash off the post. Windass scored again after an impressive cameo appearance and it might well be the case at this moment of Monk really having to decides which of the other two partners him. Tom Lees will return to the middle of the back three flanked by Dominic Iorfa on the right side. The left side is more open a spot at the present with Van Aken barely putting a foot wrong against Cardiff but Julian Borner the more experienced player. There will be no surprises in midfield with Brown, Luongo and skipper Bannan straight back into the fold. OWLS POSS-: 3-5-2 Dawson Iorfa Lees Van Aken Harris Brown Luongo Bannan Penney Windass Rhodes ****************** Watford could be boosted by the return of Ismaila Sarr, who arrived at Vicarage Road last summer for a fee of £27million. New manager Vladimir Ivić says the winger who has yet to play this season could be fit for the trip to South Yorkshire. The Hornets are also set to welcome back veteran centre-half Craig Dawson - "He is okay. He worked the last two or three days and he'll be available for the game." - but remain without a number of high-profile players following their relegation from the top flight. The likes of Étienne Capoue, Gerard Deulofeu and Troy Deeney are all thought to be looking for a transfer away from Vicarage Road, either on a permanent basis or on season-long loan arrangements. WATFORD POSS-: 3-4-3 Foster Cathcart Kabasele Wilmot Ngakia Chalobah Cleverley Kiko Sema Murray Joao ***************** Edited September 18, 2020 by Lord Snooty 19 3 7 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Owl Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Thanks Mi'Lord. What a great start to the season. When we scored our second v Cardiff, I commented to the son and heir that Owlstalk must be in total confusion. Three wins in three with three clean sheets is not following the script! However tomorrow is a tough ask so I'd be content with a gutsy 1-1 but I'm hoping we might sneak something. I'd have said head / heart but that baton has been passed on. God bless you all UTO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurcroft owl 72 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 They looked decent attackin wise last week but once colin decided to attack they looked really vulnerable. 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 It’s stating the obvious I know but home form will be the difference between staying up and going down. Cardiff was a test, this will be even bigger. A win would be amazing, a draw acceptable for this one. In the event the worst happens I won’t panic, so long as the effort and application is still there. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the option to buy for £10 cash is still there up to kick off as normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Watford have Premier League players, £27m wingers, and hard nut grafters like Deeney (is he fit?) Tough. I’d be happy with a draw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
