⚽️ Reading 3 - 0 Sheffield Wednesday OMDT ⚽️

[WalthamOwl]

Another weekend ruined by these disgraceful players. Feel sorry for Moore coming in to this. Can’t wait until the end of the season now to have a break from this and give Moore the chance to get his own players in and give us a chance of coming back up.

You know your Lordship ? you could have hit on something here you really could. Norma ! Norma Jean the little office girl who shot to fame ! 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.

 

There is hope ; 'Don't stop believing' . Oh poo that's another one, I'm of to bed now Up The Owls !   

Good old Elton 

[Lombardo]

Great post as usual Snoots.

 

Had a chat with Private Frazier, but he didn’t say much. He muttered the same word over and over again...

 

Anyway I think we will do what we always do and get a win when no one expects it...except me of course......

[Wing Back]

Nurtz to this.

 

5-1 to Reading.

 

I'm gonna put a record on.

[Captain Scarlett]

Start with enthusiasm at 3.00 p.m.............but come 5.00 p.m. this is how I end.  Up the Owls !

Good thread Milord. 
 

Well, I keep wondering how it can get any worse, and amazingly every week out bunch of no-hopers somehow manage to find a way. Still, Mr Chansiri bless him must be happy otherwise he’d have done something about it wouldn’t he?

 

Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a repeat of that 6-0 walloping we got at Reading a few years back, with Joao probably getting most of the goals.

[Anus]

The simple unabashed pleasure of a satisfying fibre filled beast of a morning stool, is unfortunately a blessing that hasn't been bestowed upon me. I have to spend three day's channeling all my strength and concentration to dislodge the dry coal nuggets from my hidden depths. This all culminates in a crescendo of a sweaty groaning anxiety attack of a toilet visit, with blood pressure racing and lights flashing behind my eyes, I pray for the final vengeful splosh of few nuggets of hate finally hitting the cool water below.

 

In many ways the above reminds me of our creeping journey towards the cool waters of league one and my current match day experience. There is one slight moment of relief when it is all over, soon tainted by the realisation that the journey is just starting again. 

 

That said, I can never predict a loss!! 0-1 Wed!!

Right people I’m going to try to help you

 

I gave up watching this cr@p 20 minutes into Huddersfield away back in December 

 

DONT watch the game

 

Do what our players do and just let it pass you by

 

Come to terms with the fact right now that we’re going to lose yet again

 

Accept that we’re already chalking the games off and are already relegated.

 

Wednesday no longer ruin my weekends because I no longer care

 

Try to follow these tips and you’ll be much, much happier x

This method actually works guys, I have not watched a 'News' bulletin since last June, And I feel fine!

[The Dukeries Owl]

Time for some more nails in the coffin lid.

 

Roll on the end of the season!

[Ian_D]

Not pathy,  that's my not ttitude about the rest of the season.  At least I had the early 90s

[Concrete Owl]

. I’m gonna turn my phone on at 5pm & be really annoyed with myself I didn’t watch our surprise victory.

It's nil for Wednesday. We all know that

 

Soz, completely fed up with the while shambles.

 

When's the new manager coming in?

Nil for Wednesday? Are you sure? We've found so many ways of losing recently it wouldn't surprise me if we managed to score minus 1.

 

The situation isn't desperate, desperation is something you are when you hope to survive. Hopeless resignation is the best I can do at present and that's on a good day. It's got so bad recently I expect us to lose every game. If we get a point between now and the end of the season I will be pleased.

 

I'm not even going to watch the game today. It just annoys me that we are paying these players. It's got that bad for me that they would have to pay me to watch.

 

Roll on the end of the season.

I don't care what anyone says I'm buzzing for todays game

Looking forward to seeing the lineup, how we perform, and what changes Darren Moore has introduced

"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..."

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!

 

 

 

[beswetherick]

After the other night, I’m quite relieved to have some work to do this afternoon.

 

Reading are probably the best footballing side we’ve played all season and I fear they’re going to absolutely slaughter us.

 

Incredibly, they’re only just under evens with most bookies to win today. Either they know something we don’t or that’s a license to print money...

1st half hat trick nailed on

Is that MC 900ft Jesus in Snoots' intro?

 

4-1 Reading - Joao hat-trick, us to get one off Patto's arse.

[The only way is S6]

Another quality omdt mi Lord. The solitary beacon of humour in this cowpat of a season.

Can Ms Snockers, Norma to you, take down a few notes as follows;

Really needed to beat Brum, at home, failed, felt dejected.

The Luton debacle, I thought was the last straw.

Then the locals roll up & stamp on us while we're down.

So, today, all is good. Expect nothing from the game. No stress, no 6 pointer. 

See what happens. Confident DM will see who gives a flip & who doesn't.

UTO.
