Match Thread - Reading - St Charles Owl - 29-01-2015 THE LAST MATCH What can we say about the last exciting installment of our current season??? Basically CRAP!! Not going to dwell on that performance at all, lets just hope the takeover puts some life back into the team for the next game!! Thankfully I found a video of the highlights that is only a minute long rather than the extended version!! THE MATCH - SAT 31ST JAN 2015 KO 1500 GMT Not going to go into the takeover much on this thread (could this finally be it!! ), lets wait for it to be ratified before we get too excited!! So now we go onto play Reading!! Reading came down from the prem a couple of years ago after spending only one year up there and missed the playoff last season by one point. Many I think expected them to be challenging again this season but they have failed to deliver on that which cost Nigel Atkins his job in December, with Steve Clarke taking over from him. They are currently 18th, 7 points behind us and 7 points above the relegation places. This will only be our 18th game against them with a record of W8 D2 L7, and after a run of 10 years without beating them we have now won the last three games against them, including doing the double over them last season (2-0 at their place and 1-0 at the Old Lady)!! Here is the video of last seasons 2-0 win at their place, a game that saw Pearce giving away a penalty and being sent off for them after only 9 mins!!! A nice repeat of this result would go a long way to lifting our gloom!! POTENTIAL LIVE STREAMING SITES Each game I will post the links to the websites anyone mentions on the thread. That way its easier to find the potential threads rather than scrolling through all the posts on the thread to find the ones where a link is posted. Lets see how ths works. Cricfree Football - stole this one from Larry on the Rangers board. http://pilkalive.weebly.com - this one was mentioned on the WBA forum. http://fırstrowsports.eu - the old favorite that tends not to work as well as it used to!! WHO'S THE BASTARD IN THE BLACK Ref - Brendan Malone Assts - Michael George and Alix Pashley Fourth Official - Gary Sutton MS will hopefully give us the skinny on this guy in previous Owls games!! CURRENT FORM OWLS - READING - In those 6 league games they have scored 5 goals and conceded 6 goals and 2 of them were 0-0 draws!! Whats the chances of another 0-0 draw with our solid defence and crap scoring record!! OTHER GAMES OF MILD INTEREST Brentford v Middlesbrough - note 12:15 kick off Huddersfield v Leeds - note 12:30 kick off Birmingham v Norwich Blackburn v Fulham Blackpool v Brighton A couple of interesting games and a Yorkshire derby to predict - note the early kick off, get your predictions in before they start please!!! THE TEAM Well where do we go with the team based on that last performance?? Defence stays the same I would imagine, Semedo will stay in, as will Mags I think but after that who knows!!!! Would like to see Baker in there again and would prefer to see Helan back in but SG will still play Maguire no doubt!! Up front pick any 2 from May, Nuhiu, Keane and maybe Lavery!! I would prefer to see: Westwood Palmer Looven Lees Helan Semedo Baker Maghoma Helan Keane May THE BIG MANS LEAGUE Owlkev Offshore Wereham Imre Pei St Charles Maddix Towinjustonce Kimmy Bottesford Owlshighgreen Chezzie Daffodils Thurnscoe Stateside BBB Southey Offshore goes joint top with Owlkev after the last game and Owlshighgreen moves up to midtable!!

THE MUPPET LEAGUE Due to the takeover finally going through I am suspending everyone's Muppet League sentences for at least one game!!! SG, be aware you will be straight back in here if you f uck up this week!!! THE ASS PIC If the takeover is fully ratified and we get to see the vision of our new owners, maybe we should replace the lucky ass pic with some lucky fish of some description!! All fish pictures will be welcome!!! KATE BECKINSALE TRIBUTE PIC This thread awaits the Meggo of Statesides choice RE: Match Thread - Reading - Thurnscoe_OWL - 29-01-2015 1-1 Nuhiu HDHHA The Lucky Sea B-ASS surprised you didn't see that one charlie RE: Match Thread - Reading - peiowl - 29-01-2015 2-2 Maguire HHHHA But I won't be able to take in the game because my little grandson (not imre!) is staying the wekend and I'll have to take him swimming. So any Canadian mascots I'll have to post ahead of the game I'm afraid. Will you miss me imre? RE: Match Thread - Reading - St Charles Owl - 29-01-2015 Thurnscoe, hadn't even begun to look for suitable pictures, will wait until everything gets ratified!!! I also forgot to mention that Reading ironically are one of only two other English clubs with Thai ownership!!! The other is Leicester, who ironically were sold by MM to a different Thai consortium!! RE: Match Thread - Reading - Was Wereham Owl - 29-01-2015 2-0 May DHAHA RE: Match Thread - Reading - Thurnscoe_OWL - 29-01-2015 (29-01-2015, 20:05)St Charles Owl Wrote: Thurnscoe, hadn't even begun to look for suitable pictures, will wait until everything gets ratified!!!

The other is Leicester, who ironically were sold by MM to a different Thai consortium!! money has changed hands this ratification is just a formality. Look at Celino, he got it and he's had money laundering and fraud charges in the last 5 years (I know it was over turned recently but he still owns the club) RE: Match Thread - Reading - Statesideowl - 29-01-2015 Nice one SCO! I'll go 2-1 Baker.. what with all the positivity at the moment. AHADH This match's Meggy will be... Meggy. It just makes sense. RE: Match Thread - Reading - Washington - 29-01-2015 2-0 Keane Can't possibly as CARP as the last game ADDDD RE: Match Thread - Reading - Maddix - 29-01-2015 1-0 Nuhiu AHHHA RE: Match Thread - Reading - peiowl - 30-01-2015 Great news. I'm going to be able to take in the game after all, so you'll have the benefit of all my valuable input. |
