Margaret retired 3 years ago and...Mr Hargreaves, why haven't you got any clothes on!" "What eh?! Don't worry about that. Clothes are old hat. This is the modern way of running a business. Anyway, get your I-pad out and take a memo" "I've only got a notepad and pen" "Margaret - " "Norma!" " - don't go old gimmer on me here! I don't want to have to let you go. I don't want any of those old school gimmer tools in here!" "Yes, but that I-pad you got me from the Wednesday shop, it doesn't work" "Why doesn't it?" "Because it's just a photo of an I-pad. It's not an actual I-pad." "Ingenious. Wish I'd thought of it. Right now listen, I've had an idea and-" "Mr Hargeaves, can you take those goggles off, it's putting me about. You look like something off Dr Who." " Virtual reality is the future, Margaret" "It's Norma!" "You don't need to see my eyes anyway" "It's too late for that, I do wish you'd put some trousers on, it keeps winking at me. Anyway, I'm not putting up with this. And I was just coming in to tell you , there's a gentleman outside wants to see you" "Send him in!" "No. I mean actually outside. Outside the window" "But we're on the 18th floor.....WHOOOAH!" "NEIL , I HAVE COME TO AIDE YOU" "I told you Margaret, this VR is amazing" "I AM REAL, NEIL, I HAVE TRAVELLED ACROSS THE SPIRITUAL PLANE TO HELP" "How come?" "ON WEDNESDAY EVENING, AT 9;37 I HEARD THIRTY THOUSAND VOICES CALLING MY NAME IN UNISON, "JESUS CHRIST!" THEY CRIED. THE VOICES CAME FROM HERE" "Ah, no mate. That'll have been the servers feeding the Matchday section in the basement. Late Rotherham winner..." "FFS. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING SERIOUS" "While you're here though, we've got Reading this afternoon..." ************** ************** READING V's WEDNESDAY Championship Kick off: 15:00 Madejski READING currently sit in fifth spot in the Championship table due to two consecutive wins, while Wednesday fell to a disappointing defeat in a South Yorkshire derby against Rotherham United, moving them further from safety. Paunovic will be hoping his side can record a third consecutive league win here as they look to fend off the likes of Barnsley and Cardiff City, as well as putting pressure on the sides above them, currently sitting just six points behind second-placed Brentford. The Royals do boast a fairly strong record at home, having won 10 of their 17 league games on home turf this season, with only five sides picking up more than the 30 points they have accumulated at their Berkshire ground. WEDNESDAY, fighting for survival, will be desperate for a result at the Madejski Stadium after slipping up to Rotherham and leaving ourselves snookered in terms of having to go and get results against the top sides having done little to beat the teams around us. Rotherham's last gasp goal condemned us to a fifth consecutive league loss, a run which has seen us fall seven points adrift of safety. We now sit seven points behind Birmingham City, with Reading and league leaders Norwich City next up. Worryingly for Moore, we have the one of the worst away records in the Championship, having picked up just 11 points from their 17 games on the road this season. ********* ******* ------------------------------------- READING ---------------------------------- Reading are expected to be without experienced centre-back Michael Morrison, who was forced off with an injury after half an hour in the recent win over Blackburn. In his absence, Tom McIntyre could return to the starting team alongside Liam Moore, after the 22-year-old shone while Moore was out with an injury earlier in the season. Midfielder Andy Rinomhota was absent from the squad in the Blackburn game, after he came off late in the win over Rotherham. They also remain without influential midfielder John Swift, who has only featured in nine league games this campaign due to two separate spells out through injury, joining striker Yakou Meite on the sidelines. George Puscas put forward his claim for another start with the winning goal against Blackburn, as Paunovic could continue with the system of two strikers with the Romanian partnering with the clinical Lucas Joao. ------------------------------------- WEDNESDAY ---------------------------------- The Owls' injury list has continued to grow in recent weeks, while several key first-team players continue lengthy spells on the sidelines including midfielder Massimo Luongo and centre-back Dominic Iorfa. Joe Wildsmith remains the only available senior goalkeeper at the club, as both Kieren Westwood and Cameron Dawson are out with injuries. Andre Green will also miss this game, with the January signing failing to hit the ground running in Sheffield having only made two appearances for the club due to an Achilles injury. Moore may consider a recall to the starting eleven for Kadeem Harris to bring some pace to the Wednesday attack. ------------------------------------- FORM GUIDE ---------------------------------- I mean, it's really not worth bothering with a form guide as far as the opposition are concerned, means nothing when we rock into town. Anyway... Reading form: L-W-L-L-W-W Wednesday form: W-L-L-L-L-L ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COME ON WEDNESDAY! 27 2 7 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a message from on high, Norma Jean has come to shine a light on our plight. Praise be ! Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled They crawled out of the woodwork And they whispered into your brain They set you on the treadmill And they made you change your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Goodbye Norma Jean Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you crawled Goodbye Norma Jean From the young man in the 22nd row Who sees you as something as more than sexual More than just our Marilyn Monroe And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did.

NobbyStyle Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Great OMDT Lord Snooty. We certainly need some divine intervention. No prediction, just hope at least for a better form of bad such are the times we’re in. Might not even catch the game today, I’m off out to buy a scooter for my brand new scooter keyring.

Humdy Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Couldn't agree more, i gave up following this lot yonks ago. The whole team couldn't care less, no ambition, no passion, no spark. Treat each game like a kick about in the park on a sunday afternoon. If they lose 1 nil they think that's a good result! Excuse after excuse, always learning a lot after losing, they should be geniuses by now! I can only remember one game where they scored more than once and that was against the bottom team. You would think a team fighting for survival would put in a bit of effort, but not this sh-t. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday no longer ruin my weekends because I no longer care Try to follow these tips and you’ll be much, much happier x See where your coming from, but no matter who puts on that shirt I like to get behind them yno. We are definitely a sinking ship, but I like Darren Moore and I'm gonna get behind him even if it means looking weird and shouting at the TV. Super easy following Wednesday when we was pushing for the play offs but when your team is on its arse in grim times I like to get behind them still, always will. Being a Wednesday fan is not for a stress free life. That said. Chansiri out. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
