Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted March 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) "Good evening ,Stubbs. Here, I say, what the hell do you think you're doing, that's my chair! Those are my best cigars!" "Forget about it Sir. There's no point. We're not bothering tonight." "I beg your pardon!?" "I said we're not bothering tonight. This place is sinking fast. No point risking getting injured in any last minute story at this stage and risking a move to another fictional message-board town." "But Stubbs!" "No Sir, we can't risk it. We have our careers to think about. The writers might have had a big storyline planned for tonight for all we know. One where I fall through the attic roof and break both legs! We can't risk it. Could throw any potential Bosman right out of the window." "But we have to do something. We're still contracted to Owlstalk. We're....we're obliged. We have to do a Matchday thread. It's what we're here for!" "We're obliged to be here ,Sir. Doesn't mean we have to try a leg." "Stubbs!" "Well if we have to be seen to be doing something.. then we'll just go through the motions then." "Go through the motions?! I'd have thought better of you" "Really ;why risk it?" "Professional pride!" "Really, Sir?!" "Yes, absolutely. Besides which of course, I've got a new deal for next year" "What!" "Yes" "What the hell! Sir...why haven't I been offered one!" "Under performing. You've been part of the systematic failure of the last few years" "What about you, you've been part of the failure too?! And I've been doing all the dirty work!" "Mr Hargreaves considers me one of the family" "What about me!" "Yes, but you're not a fan favourite really. I mean they're hardly likely to be on his back if you leave." "Oh, well that's nice isn't it, Sir, I mean-" "Stubbs, what's that over there?!" "That appears to be a burglar making away with the family jewels ,Sir" "Stop him Stubbs! Stop him! Why are you strolling....get after him....tackle him, why don't you tackle him!? Tackle him!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Barnsley V's Wednesday Mar 20, 2021 Kick Off : 3pm Oakwell Stadium ---- ---- Playoff hopefuls Barnsley will host doomed Wednesday in the Championship on Saturday afternoon looking to consolidate their place inside the top six, and to be honest, will still be fancying their chances of chasing down Watford in second. Especially with us next on the menu like a well done suckling pig being tossed in a wolfs den. The two teams head into this fixture at opposite ends of the form table, with the Tykes accumulating 22 points from their last eight league matches, in stark contrast to just the solitary point picked up by the Owls in the same period. Valerien Ismael has worked wonders with Barnsley since his arrival in October, winning 19 of his 30 Championship matches. Not just that, but by doing it playing a direct, quick paced brand of attacking football. Some people don't like the "up and at 'em" approach. Not sophisticated enough. Well balls to sophistication. I'd love to see a bit of it. The thing is though. Barnsley have some "up and at em" players to implement it with at Oakwell don't they... Darren Moore Must wake in the morning and wonder what the absolute hell he was thinking coming here. Or maybe not. They all do it don't they, they- Come here to this clusterfeck. The temptation is too much - The dream of being the one to turn it around. They're like a young slip of a girl. All the aunts tell them to stay away from the bad boy. But they don't. No, they all think they can come in and be the one to get him on the straight and narrow. But this club....no...this club is a proper bad boy, leaping from the back of one Waltzer to another with a tooth pick between it's teeth while being chased by the Constabulary with a warrant for murder. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BARNSLEY TEAM NEWS Barnsley will pick some young fast players brought in to fit their blue print. It might be this team. It might not. But whoever it is, they will set up this way and come tearing at us like a greyhound from the traps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEDNESDAY TEAM NEWS Darren Moore will have to pick some players too. He might put some of them in their best positions. Or he might not. There's no formation that actually suits the whole group as they are just footballers who have been thrown together randomly. Some look better 3-5-2 Some look better 4-4-2. Some look better 4-3-3. Problem is, because of the randomness of our transfer policy. Some look worse 3-5-2 Some look worse 4-4-2. Some look worse 4-3-3. So Darrens just got to pick some and put them in the formation where the fewest number look like fish out of water. i'm not sure what that formation is. Neither is he. Not blaming him for that because no one knows. Because...I don't actually think there is one. So I don't know really what we'll look like tomorrow or how we'll line up. But based on the season as a whole probably something like this UTO I was actually listening to something the other day, and some pundit said the only way to do anything against Barnsley is to miss out their midfield and attack with their high press and just play route-one over the top right in behind them and turn them around. Not pretty, but the only effective way to play against them, especially if you're a struggling team. Derby did it to decent effect I've heard. We have gone long a lot this season. Usually out of play or onto the oppositon centre halfs head. But maybe...just maybe after all that route one practise... and if Rhodes can keep doing those wedge passes like his did for Windass the other day... No, no, I'm doing that hope thing again. Stop it, stop it, stop it. Edited March 20, 2021 by Lord Snooty 19 16 10 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Well Wednesday old girl for more than 60 years I have given you everything and asked little in return. Now I feel it's time to consider our parting of the ways; so... "let me go Let me go Let me go, lover Let me be Set me free From your spell You made me weep Cut me deep I can't sleep, lover I was cursed From the first Day I fell You don't want me But you want me To go on wanting you Now I pray that You will say that We're through Please turn me loose What's the use? Let me go, lover Let me go Let me go Let me go You made me weep Cut me deep I can't sleep, lover I was cursed From the first Day I fell You don't want me But you want me To go on wanting you Now I pray that You will say that We're through Please turn me loose What's the use? Let me go, lover Let me go Let me go Let me go " 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harleyman Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Great OMDT Lord. I used to post as "Neon Nick", the Missus changed my name & password...she does that with all of our "social media" every few years. I'm still here, looking forward to the OMDT next season, in whatever Tier, been following Wednesday since 1970, not going to jump ship now, or ever. You're right, FANS ensure the survival of a Club, owners, players, and circumstances change, but without FANS any Club will die.

quinnssweetshop Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Possibility of a pasting today. 5 or 6 and i can see Barnsley scoring in the first five minutes. Barnsley will go for the throat and rightly so. Our bunch of " turn ups ".... let's be honest, they don't play, nor try, haven't even the stomach for a second half, let alone try and actually win a game....will capitulate from the first goal. Reach will be his normal couldn't give a sod, self. Bannan will pass back at every opportunity. Someone will go injured in the warm up and it'll be a complete shambles of a defensive ( ha ha ) mistake for the first goal. Topic of conversations on the thread will range from Bog roll to Sausage rolls, and we'll all chant... CHANSIRI OUT !!!! yet again !, as one of his family members takes turns to pick the side and decide when substitutions can be made, in their billionaire game of real " FIFA " UP the OWLS !! FY CHANSIRI ! GO DO ONE ! Edited March 20, 2021 by quinnssweetshop 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Is it wrong that I'm actually looking forward to todays game, wondering how Barnsley play? There going to give us a pasting aren't they? After all the wins we've had over them, being the bigger club from the bigger city, there going to get their own back today. Potentially most embarrassing result of the season coming up, and we will see a gulf in class. Well done Barnsley whatever the result, shame on you DC. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highbury Owl Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Looking forward to getting a good hammering. The only enjoyment left now is watching this inept bunch of clowns getting a well deserved pasting and not having to see any of them next season in League 1. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 For some reason I’m reminded of something a Greek waiter said to me in a bar in Kavos in 1996........ ”Greeeeeece they are sh!!!!!!!!!!!t” He was right of course, they were!! But 8 years later they’d be European Champions. Our day in the sun will come, one day..... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Great stuff, Citizen Snooty. Look, there's 10 games left, that's 30 points. Watford will stuff Brum, it's not over until some fat bird sings or something, I never quite understood, but anyway... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
