Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted November 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) "Well, the new mans debut eh Stubbs, I've got to say I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do." "Debut, Sir? Have you signed someone on a free transfer?" "No, no, the manager Stubbs, the manager. The new manager. Pulis" "But...and forgive me Sir, I thought he made his debut last week at Preston. A 1-0 defeat if i recall correctly." "Well, that doesn't count man! Good God. That doesn't count. He only had 10 men for seventy odd minutes." "Well, as far as I know the rules of Association Football ,Sir, it does count." "Of course it doesn't. You can' judge a man on what he's going to do over 6 months on 10 minutes of 11 a-side-action" "But the result...does stand, Sir" "Yes, yes, but I'm still calling tomorrow his proper debut" "Nevertheless Sir, a losing start. That's what the history books will show. And that fifteen minutes has been enough for some of the natives to decide they've seen enough." "What the hell do you mean?" "Well Sir. I presume you have been on Twitter? There are people saying he needs to , well, I won't use the exact language, Sir. But suggesting he might fornicate himself away from Hillsborough. Ahem" "I wouldn't worry too much about that Stubbs. It's camps isn't it.... We live in tribal times. Right wing versus left wing, Gammon vs Snowflake you can't be part of the middle ground these days Stubbs. No! You have to pick a side and plough on! Some have decided Pulis isn't the man and they've got to stick to it" "Well, they don't have to, Sir." "They will Stubbs. The modern world is about pride in ones self belief" "I'm sure if he wins some games some will change their mind, and be glad to" "You have more faith in the human condition that me then Stubbs! For I get the feeling that there's an army almost desperate for him to fail" "But if Pulis fails Sir, then Wednesday fail" "That's the nub of it Stubbs." "Speaking of the nub of it Sir. Poor old Paterson." "Indeed. That Fisher, do you know, I've never liked him . Have I ever mentioned that Stubbs?" "Most weeks, Sir. Even when we're not playing Preston and at the end of every season in your annual bellend of the year awards" "He's a rum sort. Always said it. You know what he needs don't you Stubbs?" "I'm sure you'll tell me, Sir" "Next time someone has an attacking corner against them, someone wants to get a digit right up his tea-towel holder, he'll know about it then. Sometimes fire must be fought with fire! That'll teach him" "Well, perhaps, Sir. Or perhaps he might enjoy it..." "Good point. Better just doing it the old fashioned way. Kick his head-in in the tunnel at full time" "Well, he might be into that sort of thing too, Sir" "Good Greif. Yes, you're right. Christ alive , we could probably thrash him with the corner flags and he wouldn't be bothered. Do you think he's some sort of deviant Stubbs?" "No, Sir. I think he's just a pratt" "Yes.Yes , you might be right. Well anyway, enough of that oaf. As I was saying. Fresh start for Pulis tomorrow and I'm keen to see if he sticks with the game plan we saw emerging from last week" "What plan was that Sir? Throwing in a player who's forgotten what a football looks like this past 12 months when the other boy has just kept two clean sheets?" "Have you been drinking with that Ted in Navvies Arms again?" "No Sir. Just trying to guess at this plan you talk of. Was it the playing with ten men thing? Some teams do that in training I gather." "No, don't be facetious , Stubbs" "Nice word, Sir" "Thank you. A bugger to spell though. I always feel like there should be another 'a' in it. Do you know what I mean?" "No, Sir." "Anyway, before that Stubbs, before the sending off, there was an obvious game plan. It was clear to me to see what was happening. Luongo sat in midfield. Dropping into the back line when Palmer got on an ensuring we still had that solidity. Then us springing into a 4-3-3 when we had possession and trying to get Paterson bombing on to support the front man, using Reachs lung power down the one side and Odubajos pace on the other to get in behind, in fact Windass did just that a couple of times" "Hold on a moment Sir, if I may just.." "Of course Stubbs, go on?" "You've just spent the opening part of this conversation saying that people who don't want Pulis aren't being fair judging him on 15 minutes of football" "Yes. That's right" "And now, aren't you, judging him on 15 minutes of football?" "Totally different Stubbs. Totally different" "In what way?" "Erm...because I'm saying it." "Yes, Sir?" "And, well, obviously, I know more than every other fan" "And so thinks every football fan whoever talked about the game..." "Yes but, but they're wrong, aren't they Stubbs? And I'm right. Aren't I, eh, eh Stubbs? Stubbs? STUBBS?!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Swansea City vs. Sheffield Wednesday Swansea City host Wednesday on Wednesday as the Owls travel to the Liberty Stadium in search of their first win under new manager Tony Pulis. Swansea took all three points having come through a testing matchup with Rotherham United on Saturday, while Pulis was denied a dream start to his tenure as his side went down 1-0 to Preston North End after going down to ten men just 15 minutes in. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SWANSEA Swansea kept pace with the league leaders after captain Matt Grimes scored to secure all three points, following keeper Jamal Blackman's error. It was the Swans' sixth win of the season and third in their last five games, which will please drunk uncle Steve Cooper after a tricky run of fixtures. Swansea will also see this fixture as an opportunity to secure back-to-back wins against Sheffield Wednesday for the first time since December 1978, following their 2-1 win in this exact fixture last season. Swansea look like they will be without Andre Ayew and defender Marc Guehi to see if they can overcome muscle injuries in time to feature. Viktor Gyokeres and Jordon Garrick will again be absent after testing positive for COVID-19 but should be in contention for next Sunday's trip to Nottingham Forest. Swansea City lineup: Woodman Naughton Bennett Cabango Roberts Fulton Grimes Smith Bidwell Lowe Cullen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEDNESDAY Tony Pulis will not underestimate the job he has on his hands after Wednesday were condemned to their sixth loss of the season after losing to Preston on Saturday.... Wednesday have lost both of their last two away league games to Swansea by a 1-2 scoreline and will be looking to buck that trend to secure points that could move them out of the bottom three if results go their way. Wednesday have not won on a Wednesday since 2007, and in fact have lost their last seven Pulis has hinted the Owls may look at the free agency market to increase their attacking firepower, having found the back of the net just six times in 12 league outings so far this season Josh Windass will sit out the next three matches, starting with this daunting midweek trip to Swansea. Jack Marriott unlikely to feature again until the new year after suffering a calf injury. There are question marks about whether Dominic Iorfa will be available and Chey Dunkley has yet to be see after breaking his leg for Wigan. Kadeem Harris is back from a one match ban though. Wednesday possible : Westwood Palmer Borner Lees Van Aken Pelupessy Luongo Bannan Odubajo Rhodes Reach -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORM GUIDE Swansea City form: DWWDLW Wednesday form: LLLWDL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AS IT STANDS... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COME ON WEDNESDAY!

As for the game, we are due a win down there. It would be as surprising as our win against Cardiff this season, so I’m not expecting owt but you never know..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 My expectations are low but, if we do the following I'll be happy - Turn up. Remember the kit. Have 11 players. Kick the ball. Anything else is a bonus...... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quinnssweetshop Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Was positive before the Preston game... Thought the players would raise their game a little. Was quite obvious they don't give a fiddlers phook other than taking their pay. We will be lucky to get a draw.... But it's time we had some luck 0 - 0 UTO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
