Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted February 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) "Two one-nillers on the spin eh. Talk about the fingers of the grasping hero ,hanging onto the cliff edge, being ground into the dirt by the heeled boot of the villain of the piece, just as he actually thought he might make it up alive." "Ahh, we're on cliff analogies this week are we,Sir?" "Indeed we are ,Stubbs, indeed we are! They fit perfectly with the situation. Wednesday, the hanging man. Life in the balance!" "But still, in the balance, Sir, which has to be a good thing. Keeps the season exciting every week." "Exciting? Exciting? It's not exciting, Stubbs" "What I mean to say ,Sir, at least you still have something to play for. You could instead be one of those teams stuck in the middle of the table. With no chance of promotion and no danger of relegation. Surely that boredom worse than this?" "Have you been drinking?" "No,Sir." "Well perhaps you should start, coming out with that sort of rot. This season is torture. Every time we feel the fingers weakening, the grip slipping, the inevitable fall onto the rocks of doom. We go and sodding win one, don't we? Get a 3 points we didn't expect. Has us all scurrying around to find a league table and start looking at the fixtures. Then it's all the working out again, well, you know the sort of thing, 'Ooh, if we can beat Rotherham on Saturday and Birmingham lose to blah blah blah then we could crawl out" etc etc. " "Isn't that a good thing ,Sir?" "Well, yes" "Then I'ma afraid I don't see the problem,Sir" "I'll tell you the jolly problem Stubbs! We'd lose to Rotherham. That's what we'd do. We think we've done it, got a stay of execution, yes, we start to think there's a pardon on the way, we nick a win, like a visit to the parole board, but then when we get there....there's a new judge and not only is the parole taken off the table, the black cap is out and life has been upped to the death penalty!" "Oh. We're doing prison analogies now are we, Sir?" "What's wrong with that?" "Well we started with the dangling man on a perilous cliff above the rocks of doom analogy, Sir. I thought we'd be following that script through. But now it's the prisoner applying for parole , I didn't realise we were mixing and matching" "That's my point, Stubbs. Typical Wednesday. Not following the bally script. Probably beat Brentford you know. Just to raise the hopes only to crush them again with a defeat against the Millers.That's the problem , the hint of hope every second week. I just wish they'd swing the samurai down on the old neck and get it over and done with". "Oh, we've moved on to feudal Japan now have we ,Sir" "Look, all I'm saying is , is that all this is starting to get more painful as the weeks go by. It's death by a 1000 cuts!" "And...now we're in third century China" "All I'm saying is, that it'll be more painful if we beat Brentford than if we lose, because it would be typical Wednesday to do that and then, inevitably, lose to Rotherham when our hopes are lit." "Well, there is some good news, Sir. Wednesday are 8th in one of the tables" "Oh?! What's all this, what's all this, tell me this cheery news!" "Wednesday are 8th in the goals against table, Sir" "Really?!" "Really, Sir" "Well, this is wonderful news! Just wonderful news. Puts you in a different mindset all together. I can feel the vigour surging again. Pumping through the old heart! I'll tell you what, Stubbs, we can do this thing! We can, we can do it!" "However; Wednesday are bottom of the goals scored table, Sir..." "You absolute rotter! You're as bad as The Wednesday yourself, raising a mans hopes like that and then cruelly pulling the rug the moment after! Good God above. Finish me off. Someone finish me off now!" "Sir, I don't..." "Do it!" "The goals for table...is topped by Brentford, Sir" "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhh!, Nghhhhnnnnnnnnnn!" ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- BRENTFORD V's WEDNESDAY 24th February, 2021 Kick Off: 7:00pm Griffin Park Stadium ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brentford play host to Sheffield Wednesday on Wednesday evening looking to end their three-match losing streak in the Championship. The visitors have also lost successive games in the second tier, leaving the Owls three points adrift of safety with a game in hand. Ivan Toney was a notable absentee, but it should not be used as an excuse for a setback which has only encouraged the teams around them in the automatic promotion race. Brentford only remain in the top two due to Swansea City's shock 4-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town, although the reprieve will not distract Frank from the job that he has in front of him going forward. Wednesday have their own issues to contend with having suffered back-to-back 1-0 defeats against Stoke City and Birmingham City, teams who had been on lengthy winless streaks before their respective victories. The Owls playing at a man disadvantage for the majority of the second half, didn't help matters and Neil Thompson will be frustrated with not being able to take advantage of what should have been a winnable fixture at Hillsborough. -------- ------- ---------------------- BRENTFORD ------------------ Brentford defender Rico Henry has joined Toney on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury against Coventry on Saturday. Mads Roerslev Rasmussen is expected to deputise at left-back, while Josh Dasilva will come back into the midfield. Brentford possible starting lineup: Raya Dalsgaard Pinnock Sorensen Rasmussen Dasilva Jensen Janelt Mbeumo Forss Canos ---------------------- WEDNESDAY------------------ Wednesday will be without Liam Shaw after the midfielder was dismissed against Blues for two yellow cards. Thompson could opt to revert to three at the back, putting Adam Reach in line to feature at left wing-back. Either Jordan Rhodes or Elias Kachunga could be preferred to Josh Windass in attack. Wednesday possible: Westwood Lees Dunkley Urhoghide Harris Brown Hutchinson Bannan Reach Rhodes Paterson ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORM GUIDE Brentford form: W-W-W-L-L-L Wednesday form: W-W-L-W-L-L ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AS IT STANDS... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited February 24, 2021 by Lord Snooty 27 3 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bulgaria Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Every time I expect us to get absolutely battered and put money on it, we win. Brighton away cup. Bournemouth at home. Bournemouth away. So I expect us to get battered and will back Brentford 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Wonderful analogy fest Snoots, topho. We’ll win this one with Rhodes scoring a late goal, OT will be inundated with “ we’re going to free ourselves from the quicksand “ posts , Rhodes will be left on the bench against Luton who will give us a dicking, the manager will tell us that we all have to “dust ourselves down and dig in” as we look in our wing mirror and observe Wycombe rapidly approaching in the outside lane. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzamk2 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 A splendid read Snoots, a shining light on the gloom once again!! God know for tonight's score. Can't see a win which means we probably will. Then all could go to type and we'll get slaughtered. Then again I feel a draw so could be that. Like I said, God knows! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbyStyle Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Only recently joined but love the OMDT’s, always raise a smile Lord Snooty, well done sir. it does indeed feel like “death by a 1000 cuts” except the nurse occasionally comes out with some bandages. A draw would help stop the rot of the last 2 results. Surely Rhodes has to start. UTO 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 just had a chat with a Brentford ST holder at work. he said they are ' in crisis' - no fit forwards, out of form, and we will beat them. Crisis FFS - try being second bottom and having no forwards at all, never mind fit ones! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 No, nothing to come tonight, or Saturday for that matter. Bournemouth aside, long away trips, particularly midweek equals non performance and a comfortable defeat. Nothing in the last two performances gives any optimism, no tempo, players are hiding, nobody taking responsibility on the pitch and still zero goal threat. On the plus side, if Toney and Henry are missing for them a huge boost, their best players last time we played them. The only ray of hope is that with us we learn to expect the unexpected, so prove this miserable old bugger wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
