Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted March 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2022 "You know, you don't have to look so smug" "Smug, Sir?" "Because we drew with Accrington. Because you said last week it was a banana-skin and that I was getting ahead of myself getting the bunting out." "It isn't smugness ,Sir. I just didn't want you to get overly excited only to fall victim to the curse of "Typical Wednesday" and the inevitable crushing depression that comes with it, when your mood tumbles from on-top-of-the-world to the inevitable fall that follows. A fall is always bad, Sir. From my experience a fall from height only worsens the blow." "So I'm supposed to remain gloomy am I? So that the pain is lessened if we dont win? Is that what you're saying. That one should never look forward with excitement and enthusiasm!" "Far from it Sir, however; I would suggest that you just try and enjoy the victory for the hour or so after the game and then reset yourself, Sir ,once a game is over it is over. There is no point trying to project onto the next game, which is a completely different set of circumstances. It can only lead to disappointment." "No, no. That's just not right. I mean to say, I know the old adage, "One game at a time", but dammit ,Stubbs if you can't get giddy after a 6-0 win, then when can you?." "Historically, I would say for about a week before the season starts, when it is all day dreams , Unicorns and fluffy clouds and before the harsh reality of Sheffield Wednesday trying to play football matches begins." "So , no celebrating during the season, eh? Is that what you're saying?" "Celebrate yes. Celebrating results before a game has even kicked off however, is always going to bring the risk of egg on the face." "Well get knotted on that score, Stubbs! That's what I say. Sport is all about thinking positively about the future. Infact, for all your supposed knowledge of all things, on this occasion, you're really quite wrong." "Really,Sir" "Yes, really. I've been reading a book" "Well done ,Sir . Janet and John , was it?" "I should have you flayed! No, it was, for your information, a book about success manifestation" "Oh. Excellent, Sir. Is this a scientifically reviewed analysis which is backed up by data? We wouldn't want to be falling for a Snake Oil salesmans patter trumpeting the latest fad would we" "No! Actually. It is written by a successful Tik-tok star from Los Angeles. You really should get with the programme. It's all very siimple really. All you have to do is simply have to think yourself successful, and low and behold, it works!" "It didn't work against Accrington ,Sir." "Silence! And don't look at me like that Stubbs, it's true, I've read it with my own eye. And the author herself is the embodiment of the theory . She was just a lowly waitress, but she dreamt of becoming a writer and millionaire. And now she 's both, with the power of positive thinking! Audrey Santiago-Gabon. You can look her up. Self made, author and motivational speaker. " "Ah yes ,Sir. I have heard of miss Santiago-Gabon. An waitress and aspiring author.." "That's right. Who dreamt it to reality" "...who married millionaire publishing boss Howard Gabon" "What are you getting at?" "Nothing ,Sir" "Well I don't care what you think. I'm dreaming big for the Wednesday. I won't be put off by a slip against Accrington. Oh no. I am going to manifest success on the Owls, just as I have manifested good fortune on this house." "This house, Sir?" "Yes. I had a daydream earlier and when I awoke I made that dream reality by staking my entire fortune on a horse at Chelteham. I'd ask you to pop down to the bookies and collect for me, only, you don't believe in in this sort of thing do you. Ha!" "Who did you back, Sir" "Ginto. Absolute licence to print money. Made the step up no problem, and with me now in his corner backing him and manifesting my positive energy he'll go on to even great things!" "He's dead, Sir" "God, I hate sport" - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GILLINGHAM ~V~ WEDNESDAY Sky Bet League One MEMS Priestfield Stadium Saturday March 19th Kick-Off, 3pm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GILLINGHAM Gerald Sithole and Mustapha Carayol will miss the game against Sheffield Wednesday through injury and illness respectively. Neil Harris is hopeful of having David Tutonda available to him for the fixture. Aaron Chapman is pushing for a return in goal, having missed the previous two games due to injury. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WEDNESDAY Darren Moore will without the services of Liam Palmer and Lewis Gibson as the Owls travel to Gillingham. Dominic Iorfa will deputise in the 3rd centre back role. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing looks an unlikely inclusion despite being back in full training. 15 12 5 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new zealand owl Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 They have a player called Gerald Sithole? The possibilities are endless with this. An old school Sunday league managers instructions to the new sub or an accurate reminder of Gillingham as a destination. Anyway 2-1 to the massive, bannan and Gregory. Onwards and upwards 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Love it...Stubbs makes a good point, once a game is over, it's OVER, has no bearing on the next game. Gillingham 0, Wednesday 2, take your pick on the goalscorer(s), could be anybody, Wednesday goals come from most anybody, from anywhere within range of the net. I just hope Wednesday plays their game, and doesn't worry about how Gillingham WANTS to play. Let Gillingham worry, that sets them on the back foot before the game even starts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) It's all about the ability to bounce straight back from setbacks and keep the points ticking over. In recent weeks we've shown we have the application and belief to do that so 0-2 to the Owls. Top six and a playoff spot is well within reach, something I would have snatched your hand off for after that 5-0 defeat to Sunderland and the loss at Shrewsbury.......

GermanBird Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Love it! Thanks Mylord!! That's the bit I take from your OMDT: "backing him them and manifesting my positive energy" 0:1 for the Owls. (although I am secretly hoping for a 0:4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

York_Owl Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Stubbs is right we need to forget the previous results and go again one game at a time. 6-0 Wednesday. UTO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Six weeks ago it looked like we were falling so far behind that our season would peter out and we’d have a pretty meaningless run-in. Three weeks ago it looked like we’d secure a play-off place by early April and we’d have a relatively meaningless run-in awaiting the play-offs. We’ve ended up with neither, and it looks like our fate is going to be decided in the final few games. It’s going to be a very bumpy, stressful but exciting ride. Every game, every point, and possibly even every goal will make the difference by 30th April. I’m enjoying every one of these games, even when we lose, knowing we are right in the hunt. I’m looking forward to 3pm. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NobbyStyle Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Great OMDT Lord Snooty. Are you suggesting “it’s the hope that kills you”? I’m going for a 0-2 to the Wednesday Club. I’ll bet Brian Laws is relieved Sithole is out of the game. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A47Owl Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Another great early morning rumble milord. Do you ever sleep? Anyway today is THE day. Wednesday to win 2-1 after conceding first. Berahino to score early in second half and wait for it JACK HUNT to score the winner in added time. He falls over doing a slide celebration, pulls a muscle and is out for the rest of the season. Hopefully I've got the last bit wrong. Safe journey to all you away day supporters. Gillingham. Another of those places we should never have to play. Not the centre of the footballing universe. Over 400 mile round trip deserves an epic performance and a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hootsman Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Good morning M'lud. Beautiful day for a good thrashing of Gillingham. Got a good feeling about today. 0-4 to the wonderful Wednesday, I can feel it in my old bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Clegg Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thanks Snoots for this most enlightening OMDT. I now see with the greatest clarity that the Owls are responsible for the onset of my Bipolar Disorder.... I was fine until I was first ravaged by symptoms on 14th May 1966 and have never been the same since. I have now decided to instruct my solicitors to sue the club for punitive compensation. Another matchday sees me taking my tea, toast, Diazepam and Antipsychotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Don’t mind Neil Harris. Think he is managing below his level at Gills. don’t fancy us to win this so am going for a nil nil . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
