Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted December 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2020 Well. How typically Chansiri era Wednesday. The bells about to toll midnight and I receive the text missive that Pullis has been sacked. Sacked! The night before a game! It's at this stage where I'd normally say "You couldn't make it up" But of course that simply isn't true, because that is exactly what Wednesday have done for the past 4 years. Made it up as they've gone along. And now we're all paying the price. And when I say all I mean of course; us...the merry band of supporters who are always here to pick up the pieces when the sh*t hits the fan. It's one cluster feck after another. We flail around like a has been washed up boxer trying to stay on his feet after a first round annihilation so the mafia don't bump him off if he doesn't make the 3rd round and their bets go down the swanny... THIS CLUB!! The great old club. One of the longest standing and finest institutions in football. Of this City. Facing the wall. Facing obscurity. Facing...Good God, the end? Melodramatic ? Perhaps. Football is an emotional game and our emotions have been set to their nerve ending limits. Anger, rage, desolation, despair. It's got to end; IT HAS TO END.... or this club....My club, our club could be gone. I've stuck up for the man. Against my better judgement "He needs help" I've muttered "If he'd only take advice, proper advice from people who know football" But the only advice has been coming from... ...I'll not say where it's come from because I respect olf Hargreaves I don't want to get his site shut down. But we know. WE ALL KNOW And some twisted sense of pride and and honour means that advice, proper advice hasn't been taken. And if we're all honest , never will be. Howard. Dear Howard offered to be a football voice. Not for any gain. Not for monetary gain. But just a football voice to help guide people who don't know through the rough shark infested waters of professional football. He was batted away. While the sharks breached the ship....and actually took the wheel. I cling to the hope that we can make it till the end of the season. That we can stay in this division. The 3rd is unthinkable. What would happen to us is unthinkable. The football almost takes a back seat to the other rubbish that's going on. But football it the root. Football is the very foundation that it is all build. Football is the constant. I hope we win today. Not for Chansiri. Not because it's Warnock. But because it's SHEFFIELD F*CKING WEDENESDAY and we need to win today. And loads more after. We cannot go down. The inept owners won't know what's hit them in the 3rd division. And I do says Owners and not owner. We need to stay up so we're more attractive to people who can come in and run a football club properly. With football people. FFS ----------------------------------------------------------------- WEDNESDAY V's MIDDLESBROUGH Sky Bet Championship Saturday 29th December 2020 kick Off 7:45pm Hillsborough PRE-AMBLE Pulis's men , or rather Pulis ex-men, put in a gritty display away to Blackburn and led courtesy of a goal from former Boro man Adam Reach, but it was not enough to secure the win after an equaliser came 14 minutes from time to make sure the spoils were shared. Wednesday still have work to do to break out of the relegation places and are three points adrift of safety, with sides around them - such as Derby County - starting to find form. Wednesday have won just once since Pulis took charge in November, and have only secured two home wins in 11 games - something that Pulis will be keen to put right as soon as possible. For all the work Pulis will have undoubtedly done on team shape on the training ground, his side have recorded just two clean sheets from his 10 matches at the helm, and will now face a side who scored four in their last away game. Not that any of that matters now as this lunatic club stumbles into match day having sacked the manager just short of midnight. FFS ----------------------------------------------- Boro overcame a lacklustre Birmingham City in their last match, having come from behind to run out 4-1 winners in a dominant display that temporarily lifted Boro back into the playoff places. Neil Warnock's side scored four goals away from home for the first time since 2014, when they won away to Millwall, under the manager who was on the receiving end of this 4-1 drubbing, Aitor Karanka. Before their Boxing Day postponement, Boro had played nine times in 29 days, a relentless run of games that have fallen on Saturdays and Wednesdays for four straight weeks. Warnock - who is currently navigating his 41st season in management - has seen it all before, of course, and revealed that his team are not currently training between games, and instead focusing on recovery and tactics. Warnock's approach seems to be working for Boro, who have scored eight goals in their last three, conceding only one, and they now face a side who are finding clean sheets hard to come by, followed by another team who sit in the relegation zone in Wycombe Wanderers. Team News Wednesday defender Joost van Aken will miss the Owls' meeting with Boro. Adam Reach suffered a hamstring injury at Ewood Park. Matt Penney could be recalled for a left hand birth. Sheffield Wednesday possible: Westwood Odubajo Dunkley Lees Palmer Bannan Pelupessy Brown Penney Paterson Windass ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'Boro's Britt Assombalonga was back to scoring ways last time out and could keep his place ahead of Chuba Warnock will assess the recovery of Johnny Howson as he looks to overcome a hamstring injury. If deemed fit, Lewis Wing could make way despite scoring a brace against Birmingham. Marcus Browne also returned to training in recent weeks and could be named among the substitutes. Middlesbrough possible : Bettinelli Dijksteel Fry McNair Bola Wing Saville Morsy Johnson Watmore Assombalonga ---------------------------------------------------- FORM GUIDE Wednesday form: D L L W L D Middlesbrough form: W L L W W W ---------------------------- Today I'll be urging our boys on. More than ever this season. They might not be who we wanted. Wouldn't have been my targets. Wouldn't have been yours no doubt. But they are ours. And they are out there in our proud blue and white striped shirts playing for OUR club. They're our boys. And I'll support them to the hilt. Not their fault the machinations behind the scenes, the engineering . Not their fault they aren't being paid to play... so I'll be backing them just more people caught up in this clusterfck.

Pulsar Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 You're a true fan and a fine gentleman Snoots. The way I'm feeling right now i don't think I would be arsed to put down all that bang on content. I'm gonna see who we attract as our next manager before I can even be bothered to swear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheff74 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The club is a shambles. The team aren't very good at football. Things can't get any worse, surely...? Warnock....."hold my beer lads" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Wednesday for ******** sake.. Kind of blindly hoping for the same. The players reaction will be intersting tonight. No fight and a hammering will clearly send a message to Chansiri. Freedom and a will to attack will be putting two fingers up at the previous managers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The stench of demotion hangs over us like flies round a rotten corpse. Defeat today, defeat tomorrow and defeat after defeat until our record low second half of season points total sees us sink into the third tier where we will remain forevermore. or we’ll win. I dunno. It’s Wednesday innit. Owt can happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Bonvin Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Thanks Milord. I imagine that last night's shenanigans put paid to the original OMDT you had probably worked hard over. We are a mess. Messier than the love child of Lionel Messi and Mr Messy. God only knows what to expect tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Was Colin’s vote of confidence in Pulis that has lead to DC pulling the handle. Love us to beat these tonight but we are such a shower. Sure the players know more that has gone on which worries me. Despot owner who cannot run a club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted December 29, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2020 I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall with whats happened last night. We'll never know I'm sure. Disclosure agreements etc etc. But I'll say this. Pulis wasn't some young Pup desperately making his way in the game. He has made money out of the game. He doesn't need a career 'post Wednesday' I think he's gone in there and given some home truths. What did he say the other week "I'm going to be brutally honest with the Chairman, not just about the football side of things, but the whole club" I think he has. And I think it's dented the pride. Either that or the Gloved hand has tapped Chansiri on the shoulder and advised Pulis it the wrong man. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Of all the managers you'd want to face after a year a complete foookups, Warnock would be least likely if wanna come up against now No matter what team we have or how good we are, Warnock 9.5/10 times gets a result against us Sadly can't see the trend ending tonight 0-2 boro Warnock and Gibson celebrating at full time, while Dc just shrugs his shoulders Makes me feel sick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Boro could provide a few for a Christmas Selection Box lX Fry’s Chocolate Cream Bola Maltesers Chuba Smarties Gallows humour. Hope to see a 352 or a 442 tonight. One upfront clearly doesn’t work. Has the red button disappeared? No games on Sky button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
