Arsenal, but I had to look it up.

Can't imagine what the manager was thinking there, all on him that one. 4 at the back, 2 in midfield and 4 up front away to one of the best sides in the league. Videos work fine BTW, great to see the bus in full swing.

Some crowd that. Wonder what the best ever was/is.

Yes, I watched them last night against Middlesborough. The Tony Mowbray illness hasn't hasn't helped them at all which may eventually be their downfall. I think he's on the mend and I wish him well, just hope he doesn't rush back too quickly, take your time Tony.😂 I was fearing the worst when they held onto Stansfield and then signed Pritchard from Sunderland but it's not working for them yet, but things can change quickly.

Quite. On some of the Owls fans forums I go on they were bemoaning the fact that as we'd started to win then so had the other teams just above us but what that does do inevitably is rope more teams into the battle, there's only so many points to go round.

We'll probably lose the next one as well Owl, away to Ipswich but you never know. At least the manager has put us in with a chance now after all looked lost not so long ago. What is that vehicle you thought was a bus, I can't make it out. Is that the hat lady giving us all a wave.

Who was you working for?

Hinkley Point B Station, notice the lack of the "c" in Hinkley is in fact operational, I have worked on it prior to the start of Hinkley Point C station construction which you are referring to. The A station is being decommissioned now and had reactors 1 and 2. The B station has reactors 3 and 4. I wonder how many reactors C station will have although I'm not that interested I must admit.

I'm not sure whether it's French owned or not Owl. Think Thames got in a pickle as well although that's gone a bit quiet. Shareholders taking their cuts and the money not being invested in infrastructure then going to the government with the begging bowl. Fact is all these companies either get ripped off by investors or workers depending whether they're publicly or privately owned.

I'm apprehensive rather than confident Owl. They really hate us, not sure why though and they'd love to get one over on us. They have been losing but they've also been scoring goals recently. The ground will be full of Wednesdayites all over, in with the home supporters and if they do beat us them Wednesdayites will smash the town up and cause a million pounds worth of improvements. Plymouth and Leeds in quick succession after that game, I watch every game with bated breath, hoping for the best, fearing the worst. It's going to be touch and go I think but at least this manager has rallied us a bit, the last one was going to break all records for the worst season ever. UTO & FTB.😉 As for Southern Water-well, just can't get my <deleted> breath with that company. At least they gave all affected a 12 month membership of Experian, hopefully that will offer some protection.

Any advice on the cyber attack that Southern Water has been exposed to and leaked mine and many others personal details?

Yep, and another good win at home to Hull last night. A long way to go though. Ref the rice and rat problem Owl. Shouldn't you clear the stuff from below the store? Don't the rats just use the water tank just like your missus is doing to climb up the structure? Also, have you tried the rat guards around the support posts like they do on ships cables? Having that water tank there you may as well build them a ramp. Happy New Year everyone.

Bought myself some last year. Fed up of going for a walk and finishing up with my jeans that far down my arris I could be mistaken for a teenager (well maybe not but you get my drift). Brilliant, problem solved. Not sure how they'd feel directly onto flesh though.

I know, watched the highlights and Dull nearly got one late on from a brilliant shot and an excellent save.

I'd like to think CL that Owls domestic issues aren't anywhere near as bad as he'd have us believe. I certainly hope they aren't anyway or he'd be wise to take your advice and bail out. On another note Owl, I see Dull didn't score yesterday so presume you bet was down. Couls you let me know again what your bet was by email preferably, I might just have a pop at it. TIA

We've definitely turned the corner AD, question is have we left it too late. The new manager is a star. As for the blunts? Well they got beat 5-0 by the PL bottom club yesterday, arf,arf,arf. Now @owl sees allthat equalled the PL record for a club at the bottom of the PL, who else holds the record?

Cheer up Owl, I'm sure you have a full grip of things over there. Must be a bit galling having to sell the farm though but keep the faith. My missus has a few family problems of her own at the moment, compounded by the fact that we're in the UK and can do little about it from afar. We're at a loss of what to do which is made worse by dealing with people that don't follow logical norms.

Fear not Owl, we'll be back to winning ways in our midweek game, at home to Leicester.

I think we've had it mate, it's torture.

Very good prediction Owl but unfortunately our Thai owner is out with the begging to pay HMRC, it's looking a bit bleak which is strangely todays Wordle. Do you partake in the NY Times wordle quiz Owl? I used to race snails at one point many moons ago. I did have a particularly well bred snail that just wasn't very fast so I tried removing it's shell but it just turned out a bit sluggish. (Apologies if that's already been done). Here's the Wordle if you haven't tried it. Just start at the top line with a five letter word and work your way down. If the colour of a letter remains the same then it isn't in the days "Wordle Word." If a letter goes yellow then it's in the days Word but in the wrong place. If a letter turns green then it's in the days wordle word and it is also in the correct place. https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

Well, we have a new manager and his team in place now, I think he might just work a miracle, very strong Red Bull connections with him and his coaches, something going on I reckon. Wish Mildred a belated happy birthday from me, as it happens it's the wife's birthday as well the 19th October.

Parker 16/1 for Owls job and 20/1 for Rangers job. Lampard is favourite for the Rangers job at evens. We have Colin (Anagram????) favourite for Owls job at 9/4. There'll be blood spilt should Colin get the job.

No he isn't, he could be going to Rangers Owl. On the main Owls forum we have a RevOwl who is a man of the cloth and he was advocating SP was in line for the job and he was willing to take £10 bets from all and sundry. I found this strange coming from him and accused him of being drunk on altar wine. Little did I know, apparently there is a Rev Owl on the site who has nothing to do with the church and it was him that was spouting off. Having said that, could be true I don't know. The manager markets are best left alone Owl, they're a license to print money for the bookies, I've seen it many times before.The manipulate the market by installing favourites on little or no evidence at all, people jump in as they feel somethings going down and then the bloke drifts away, insider trading i'd call it.

RIP

He bought the club for around £30/35M if I remember correctly Owl. Bought it from Milan Manderic, remember him? Unfortunately he threw a lot of money at it as well with a boom or bust attitude to get us to the Prem. Lge. Nearly worked but we got beat in the final at Wembley by Dull City. When would that be, 2015 I think, I attended. I reckon he's put close on £180M in and he wants his money back, so I reckon he might accept £150M. With according to him ongoing losses of £10m a season. The bloke is deluded, he thinks he can get us back into the prem. without any spending, he can't and he won't. So if we can find 20,000 of us to put £7,500 each in initially and the another £500 a year in that would do it wouldn't it. At least we got rid of the manager last night and his staff, looking for a new manager now and there's talk in the press that Colin wants the job. Now I don't know if you know this but Colin is a nick name us Wednesdayites have for Neil Warnock (who is a big unitedite and an ex manager of theirs), it's an anagram. Can you work out his surname if his Christian name is Colin?????Now that is a good quiz question.
