I'm not sure that any "normal working man" would have posted what he did.

Total Overeaction.

please help last night at 12:20 after we were closed our window was smashed by an individual who claimed he had done it because it was ‘a Wednesday pub’ (as per cctv audio) We are a small family run business without the support of a brewery or a huge corporation. This repair will be paid for from our own pockets We have very good cctv including audio of this incident- so if this is you please contact me and arrange for payment of the repair BY THE END OF THE DAY otherwise I will release the CCTV so we can identify you and prosecute. If you know anybody that has woken up with a very bruised hand please again let me know. We work too bloody hard to pay for idiots who can’t handle their beer.

A shout out to our ticket-office. I rang midweek as my son has done his cruciate and can’t bend his leg, so I wanted seats with maximum legroom. The wonderful lady did a physical tour of the possible seats and rang me back with her recommendation for where my lad would be most comfortable. Superb service that. Above and beyond. Do you remember the ex-QPR player, Danny Shittu? Some of you will remember him because he played 186 games for QPR between 2001 and 2007. Others will remember him because he was a huge and imposing centre-back. Some will remember him because of his 30 caps for Nigeria. But, if you are as pathetic and immature as me, you remember Danny Shittu because of his name. I’m a child. Always have been. Way too old to change now. Danny Shittu But, I do have more reason to remember him than most of you, as I’d already had an encounter with a Shittu well before I’d heard of the big QPR player. In the late 90s, on a visit to my company’s Head Office, I entered their Reception and greeted Sheila, the friendly receptionist, as I usually did. She turned the visitors book towards me to sign in. As I was signing I spotted the entry immediately above mine….the name, Olé Shittu. I could and should have been professional and let it go, but no. Instead, I looked at Sheila, and with a great big stupid big smile, I exclaimed loudly… “OLÉ SHITTU !!??” I expected Sheila to find the name as childishly hilarious as I did, but rather than laugh along with me, her face froze in anguish. The only part of her that showed she was still alive were her eyes, which became as big as dinner-plates, and moved ever-so-slightly to stare over my left shoulder. From behind me, came a deep voice… “YES?” I turned round slowly, stunned by the realisation of what I’d done. Sure enough, there was the company’s guest from Nigeria, a Mr Olé Shittu, waiting to be seen. To this day, I’ll never know where it came from, but with a flash of inspiration and barely a delay, I smiled warmly, shook his hand, and said, “Someone will be out to see you in a moment Mr Shittu”. It worked! He swallowed it. I was saved. Sheila could breath again. As it still makes me shudder to this very day, let’s move quickly on to this weekend’s match. Will we finally rediscover our form in the fixture that did so much to raise our entire club last season? That afternoon was fantastic! The atmosphere from the 86th minute when Bailey equalised, through injury-time when Musaba hammered that winner into the roof of the net, and for the 10 minutes after the final whistle when we raised the roof in emotional relief and renewed hope, was amazing. And yet now, four games into a marathon, our expectations have got the better of us. The belief we had on August 11th has thinned, and there’s faint murmurings about Danny’s ability and the squad’s quality. Waaaaay too early. You only need to look at the table at this early stage last season:- 3rd Birmingham 13th Leeds 22nd Middlesbrough Leeds and Boro had very capable managers and rose up the table. Birmingham appointed a clown and are now playing 3rd tier. We will be absolutely fine. We’ve a terrific manager. The more time Danny has with the players, the better the team will become. I see us climbing the table nicely by Christmas, then kicking-on, aided by Danny’s dealings in the January transfer window. Not the foggiest what our XI will be. It’ll be great to have Ugbo well and truly fit and ready. Plus we’ll have Charles more upto speed with what Danny wants and how his team-mates play. Sounds like there’s carnage in our back-line through injury and caution over players returning from internationals. A few worthless guesses from me. I think either or both of Pol and Marv will start. Also, as none of Windass, JL, Musaba or Gassama have performed since Plymouth, I wonder if we might see a shock start for Kobacki. Those changes would be a real statement from Danny to the season-starters. We are favourites as you’d expect at home. But due to our poor form it’s not overwhelming:- OWLS 13/10 DRAW 12/5 QPR 9/4 Respect to QPR, but the outcome is down to which Wednesday shows up. Will it be olé olé football from the lads? Or another pile of shittu? COYO DANNY, DANNY Röhl ️

BLACKPOOL v SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY EFL/CARABAO/LEAGUE CUP R3 Tuesday 17th September – 7:45 Sky Sports + I’m not overly superstitious but:- · Each match has been away · Each oppo has been fishy · Each OMDT has had a quiz question We’ve won them all, so let’s not rock the trawler:- R3 Question - What’s the difference between the Blackpool Illuminations and The Owl’s defence? Answer - Only the Illuminations were switched on in August. Blackpool’s stadium is your typical run-of-the-mill stadium. If only there were something to make it instantly recognisable. Whatever happens at Bloomfield Road, we’ll have to score at least twice to go through without penalties. We just know that 47 year-old speedster, Jordan Rhodes, will score. So popular with the majority of our fanbase, I’ve little doubt he’ll give a big thumb’s up to the travelling Owls fans, and no doubt some of our less than generous fans will return the compliment with very different hand-gestures. Fellow old-boy Steve Bruce’s recent appointment makes it harder. They’d had a terrible start to the season but had two wins in two since he was named. He’ll keep it simple and press mostly right buttons. Knows his stuff. I was sad to see him leave. Blackpool have also been boosted by the team-news that Ashley Fletcher is unavailable, due to receiving a straight red for violent conduct. Amazing. Who knew he could care enough to show aggression? Brucie, Rhodesy and Co won’t be a pushover for our current B Team. Do we know our B team? Is Lowe better than Johnson? Is Valery better than Pol? Is Charles better than Svante? Is there a stand-out pair from Windass, Kobacki, Musaba and Gassama? Does our 2-man or 3-man CB line pick itself? It’s fair to say we are in quite a state of flux, so this match is an excellent chance for Danny to keep looking and trying to find the near-perfect blend. IF (I emphasize IF) we get through, our Round 4 match will be in the thick of quite a glut of fixtures:- · Saturday Home v Burnley · Tuesday Home v Swansea · Friday Away v Portsmouth · Tues Away R4 v Fishy Town · Saturday Home v Watford · Tuesday Home v Norwich · Sunday Away v unmentionable rabble We’d certainly be able to console ourselves with ‘concentrating on the league’ if we were to lose to Blackpool. I know there’s a perfectly valid argument that we might be better off out of this, but I want to win, and to keep winning:- R4 – Fleetwood QF – Barrow SF – Brighton F – Southampton 2024/25 BIRDSEYE FISHFINGERS CUP WINNERS - SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY COYO DANNY, DANNY RÖHL ️️

BRISTOL CITY v SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY Wednesday 2nd October – KO 8pm Sky Sports Main Event 7:30pm Sky Sports Football 7:30pm After our terrible spell of bad luck I’m sure we all carried shamrocks and horseshoes and wore our lucky pants to the West Brom game. And it worked! For once a few ref decisions went our way, and the defection on Marv’s shot took it into the goal rather than into the keeper’s midriff. So, same pants for Bristol City please. No washing them, no changing them, exactly the same please. If this marks the beginning of a long unbeaten run, it might get a bit aromatic in the stands, but it’s a sacrifice we should all be willing to make. Of course, it’s down to organisation, quality and effort rather than lucky mucky grundies, and we had those in spades against West Brom. Everyone played really well, but some players were absolute revelations:- Akin de Bruyne Luck was against us at Bristol City last season. Remember Bannan’s straight red after 30 minutes? Apparently his foul stopped a clear goal-scoring opportunity, despite having the keeper, a defender, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the cast of Zulu, between the fouled attacker and our goal. But, overall, you make your own luck. It was a suicidal pass into Baz. Plus, if you watch the vid, you’ll scratch your head trying to understand just how Ashley Fletcher didn’t equalise. Only a very special talent misses that chance:- For info on Bristol City’s season so far, Robins fan, Jerseybean, has kindly provided this for us: “We’ve had a stuttering start, including two 3-0 defeats away to Blackburn and Derby. In both those games we were woeful. Last season our defence was impressive, but that’s changed, having added seven players over recent months with an emphasis on creativity and attack. We are still looking forward to them cooking, although there have been some promising glimpses of what they might be capable of. We currently look every bit of a mid-table team (as usual) and are inconsistent The fan base is pretty tolerant but the consecutive 3-0 defeats led to some calling for Manning to go, which is highly unlikely given the backing in the transfer window by our hierarchy.” On owner, Steve Lansdown: “Although he has been enormously generous, and invested loads over the years, he is currently looking for a buyer and there is no indication he’s going to splash the cash for a promotion push.” Thanks @Jerseybean. If you want to read his full OMDT starter here it is. I warn you, I know some of you find my starters too long to read, well you ain’t seen nothing yet! Fair play to JB - he puts his heart and soul into it. https://www.otib.co.uk/topic/227084-sheffield-wednesday-at-home-match-thread/ Reading that, it sounds like their fans think Steve Lansdown has limited ambition, and yet his spending towers above ours. £10m over the Summer! £3.5m for 25 year old Scott Twine, along with two 21 year old strikers, £3.5m Fally Mayule and £2.95m Sinclair Armstrong. Mayule has yet to get much game time, but Armstrong is a regular. You’ll recall this beast of a player from his bloody battle with Bambo at QPR last season:- Someone will have to show the heart, strength and pace that Bambo exhibited that game, cos this kid has it by the bucketful. Fortunately, last year he couldn’t hit the proverbial cow’s arris, so let’s hope he hasn’t sold his banjo. City had 24 hours less recuperation than us, following their draw at Swansea on Sunday. Might prompt Liam Manning to make some changes. Maybe Mayule or even 78 year old Nakhi Wells will get the shout instead of Sinclair. Manning is still looking for the right blend, after their draw – win – loss in September. Their home form is sound but hardly frightening: City 2-1 Oxford City 1-1 Coventry City 4-3 Millwall What about us? With 3 matches in 8 days, will Danny rotate? It would be understandable, and we don’t know who is fighting fit and who needs a breather. But I’d like to see a similar team at Ashton Gate. There’s a case for Musaba being given the nod ahead of Kubaki after his impressive match-winning cameo. Smith for the yet-to-fire Ugbo will be a shout, but I like horses-for-courses, and Iké had a terrific two-goal game at home to City in February. He only needs a spark to ignite his season, and this might well be it. Ugbo’s first of two v City at Hillsborough City owner Lansdown is worth almost £2Bn, earned from his half of the investment and savings platform, Hargreaves Lansdown. I hope it’s our assets that interest him tomorrow, and that the bond shown between our players against the Baggies continues to pay dividends against the Robins. Disclaimer - always remember, past performance is no guarantee of future results. COYO Danny, Danny Röhl ️️

So now he's up to full speed and looks like a player out of his depth. Nowhere near good enough and doesn't even look like he cares too much either. Danny was trusted with big money to get him so how will DC think about offering Danny cash in the future if this is what he thinks 2.5 million should be spent on. I wouldn't blame DC in the slightest if he orders Danny to find loanees or freebies in the future going by the way he's spent proper money on Ugbo and even Valery. Maybe he's simply better at recruiting players of no value than he is at spending hard cash.

LUTON TOWN v SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY SATURDAY 21st SEPTEMBER KO 3pm Danny has taken advantage of the fact that Luton and Blackpool both wear orange. He’s brought in Derren Brown to hypnotise the players. “Look into my eyes. It’s Blackpool not Luton. It’s Rhodes, not Adebeyo. It’s those big rectangular wide netty things, not the orange seats up in Row 24”. Fingers crossed. I followed the Owls to Luton twice. The first, was on 13th October 1984, Wednesday’s first season back on the main stage under Wilko. Wednesday were in the middle of a lovely unbeaten run including a win against Spurs at Hillsborough and the famous 2-0 win at Anfield. Nev and I hitch-hiked down to Luton. For once, getting lifts was easy and unremarkable. We dominated the match. Goals from Mick Lyons and Lee Chapman won the points in a very deserved 2-1 win. Getting home was tougher, sneaking onto the Inter City Owl train ticketless, then taking it in turns to hide in the bog when the guard came…”My mate has the tickets and he’s in the toilet.” The other trip to Luton was later that season, in January. This time we were on an 11 game unbeaten run, including the 2-1 win at Old Trafford on New Years Day (seems like another world doesn’t it?). You might think the opponents were Luton, but you’d be wrong. It was an away match at Tottenham. Nev and I had arranged to meet at the Parkway early morning, but Nev didn’t show up, I later learned because of the weather forecast for heavy snow across the south of England. I was in two minds, but decided to hitch anyway, on my own. The snow worsened with every mile, and five lifts later, just before Luton, I saw a luxurious sleek executive coach going North on the other carriageway, with SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY FC in the front window. My driver, the spit of Ken Livingstone, kindly switched the radio on, and sure enough “Tottenham v Sheffield Wednesday – match postponed”. Red Ken pulled off the M1 at Luton and dropped me off at the petrol station. I had a pee, bought a Picnic bar, and trudged back to the slip-road to start the cold and snowy homeward hike. Maybe snow will come to our rescue this weekend? Our away form suggests this isn’t the best time to be playing at parachute-enriched Luton Town. The prospect of our low-on-confidence lads up against Mengi, McGuinness, Doughty, Chong and Adebayo is not a pretty one. Luton are not on fire though, especially at home. Luton 1 - 2 QPR Luton 1 - 4 Burnley Moreover, they’ve only scored 4 goals in their 5 games, despite their fire-power up front. They did defeat Millwall at the Den last time out, so perhaps they are getting their act together. It’s fair to say though that manager Rob Edwards must be feeling the fan pressure at home. I got a few lucky guesses right last week, so I’ll ride my luck. I think Danny will finally play 3 in midfield. Svante made a really strong case to be picked against Blackpool, and I think the thought of playing at Luton with only Baz and Charles will tempt Danny to beef us up by adding Svante. Plus, he whips in a far better corner than Josh and Baz. I’m hoping it’s some sort of 3511. I think Windass will be in front of a 3-man middle, with Ugbo ahead. The bookies are surprisingly kind here. I thought a Luton win would be a very low price, but no:- Luton 19/20 Draw 27/10 Owls 100/30 Luton Home: P2 L2 GF2 GA6 Pts 0 Owls Away: P2 L2 GF0 GA7 Pts 0 How do you separate that? I think the bookies’ computers has had a melt-down. My usual optimism is a tad thin for this one. I don’t see us keeping a clean sheet and I don’t see us scoring more than one goal, so a 1-1 draw is the best I can muster. However, I am not at all concerned about the season overall. Yes, we’ve started poorer than I expected, but I am supremely confident that Danny will sort us out very soon, and that we’ll be in far better shape before long. COYO Danny, Danny Röhl ️️

If we're giving a penalty for a ball which is headed onto someone's arm from a matter of feet away (whilst his back is turned), then it makes our run of 5,600 minutes without one even more ridiculous. We'll take the one which hit McGuiness' arm last weekend, for starters... Of course neither are a penalty.

If there was ever any doubt about the left wing back position.. Johnson takes it everytime. Johnson had their winger, Fellows in his pocket, blocked the crosses didn’t give him a look in. Lowe comes on and backs off, the first cross Fellows does and it’s a goal for them. The other week Lowe comes on and gives a stupid foul away, which led to the equaliser for QPR. Today Johnson was superb and IMO he should never have been moved forward, that led to the scoring.

Be absolutely stupid to let him go, a key key player last season and personally I think he's better than Valery.

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY v WEST BROM Saturday 28th September – 12:30 KO Sky Sports + An early thread starter for an early kick-off. THE NATHANIEL CHALOBAH DERBY If this fixture needed any extra spice, the move from the Throstles to the Owls of Baggies’ favourite, Nathaniel Chalobah, has transformed this fixture from a Korma to a Vindaloo. (Bet you are hungry now). The West Brom fans took it very badly. The engravers are already scribing his name onto the Almen Abdi Golden Bedpan Award - Most Injured Player 24/25. Last year’s hands-down winner, Momo Diaby, was due to present Nathe with his award, but he dropped the trophy on his foot in the ceremony rehearsal and is a doubt for the big night. “Panic over Nathe. I’ve got you a trial and medical at Wednesday” Needless to say, we all wish Nathaniel a swift and full recovery. We welcome the Throstles to Hillsborough in very different form to our game back on 27th April. We had just gone WDDW to set up the Great Escape. By contrast, West Brom had lost all momentum going DDDWLL. What followed was a strong candidate for our best performance of the season. How times have changed ahead of this game: West Brom P6 W5 D1 L0 GF10 GA2 Wednesday P6 W1 D1 L4 GF6 GA12 If you are of a nervous disposition, look away now before looking at their away form. It’s seriously impressive:- Portsmouth 3-0 WIN Stoke 2-1 WIN QPR 3-1 WIN They’ve undergone significant changes over the Summer, but it’s two of their players from last season who have transformed their play. Josh Maja is the league’s top scorer with 6 goals from six games. Tom Fellowes, only 21, is getting rave reviews for his displays up their right flank. All 4 of his assists have led to goals for Maja. Stop Fellowes and we go a long way to stopping West Brom. Johnson and Famewo will be kept busy. The Wednesday that played Sunderland, Leeds and Millwall would be cannon-fodder. However, Danny has changed things and only Lady Luck has stopped us being five points better off in joint 9th place. Lady luck was given a huge helping hand by the refs in our last two fixtures, and it was something of a surprise that last week’s maestro, Gavin Ward, was handed the Croatia international match in midweek. Our play has been so much better since switching to a back-three and becoming more pragmatic by mixing up playing out from the back and going long if strongly pressured. I watched a Luton podcast and they thought we were the better side by miles upto the red and penalty. Such was our dominance that you could get 16/1 for Luton to win the match before the 74th minute fiasco. Of course, Lady Luck and Gavin Ward’s efforts would count for nothing if we had been taking our chances. QPR and Luton should have been dead and buried, and I’ve no doubt that Danny and his staff are working tirelessly on our finishing. A quick word on the appointment of set-piece coach, Andy Parslow. His work at AFC Wimbledon was transformational. He took them from hopeless to scoring the most goals from set-pieces in the entire four divisions, in the space of half a season. At the other end they almost halved the number conceded from set-pieces. What a key signing he could be. Boy, do we need improvement here! Can’t imagine any changes other than Ihiekwe for Bernard. Everyone played well at 11 v 11. On your way to the stadium, avoid walking under ladders, avoid black cats, carry a lucky horseshoe and a 4-leaf clover, wear your lucky shreddies and pat the ref’s guide-dog. With a bit of luck Rodders, this time tomorrow we’ll be mid-table. COYO Danny, Danny Röhl ️️

I just don't understand our fanbase For years they cry for the club to switch to a more long-term approach of bringing in younger players, get the average age down, develop them and play under a manager everyone can get behind We do that and instead of waiting to see how it pans out, get all scared just a few games in and suggest the manager is under pressure etc I see a football season like a book, and every match is a page in that book What we do as fans is pick the book up, start reading it, and if one page turns out to be a bit dull start to suggest the book should be thrown in the river don Our fans need a longer term view in my opinion and to stop being so panicky I believe the majority of fans back Röhl, are interested in seeing what he can do, and not even considering any changes at all

I can understand the criticism after abject performances at Sunderland and Millwall. But today we controlled the game until they got a lucky break, and that was the gamechanger. If we keep playing like we did today we'll turn the corner as it was a good solid away performance.

This is a few weeks old now, but might as well post it. Was on holiday in Bergen in August. Arrived late to our hotel on the Wednesday night - seemed to be full of Grimsby fans. Next morning on way to breakfast, even more Grimsby fans and walking through a corridor saw a bloke stood in a tracksuit about ten metres away and thought - 'Hmmm, that guy looks just like Dennis Adeniran'. Well, turns out it was in fact, Dennis Adeniran! I shouldn't have been so shy. But I had misidentified the club - St. Mirren were in town on a European adventure. Their first since the 80s one of their fans told us, and the team were staying at our hotel for the game that evening. A quick search of their squad on wikipedia showed that not only Dennis, but Jaden Brown also was in their squad. It was for a Europa Conference League qualifier against Brann. So, I couldn't miss out on the opportunity to see two promotion winning legends strut their stuff on the Continent and snapped up a ticket: Jaden Brown is the last man back and Dennis is lurking on the edge of the D in this photo. St Mirren had drawn 1-1 with Brann, the 2nd placed Norwegian team, in the first leg. The game was a real rough and tumble affair, played during a torrential downpour. St Mirren especially were a real physical team, 5-3-2, and loved to launch it to their big man. Brann took an early lead and seemed in control at the start, but the longer the game went on, St. Mirren looked more likely to score, and eventually equalised in the 74th minute. Perhaps they needed to go in for the kill, instead, they took their foot off the pedal and Brann ran in two late goals in the 85th and 88th minute to win the tie. Both Jaden Brown and Dennis Adeniran played the full 90 minutes. Dennis was charging around flying in to tackles on the right of a midfield three. He looked St. Mirren's best player for the first half an hour, but made a crunching tackle after than and seemed to be hobbling a bit afterwards, certainly he didn't have the same energy in the second half. I was never a massive fan of Jaden Brown during his time here, so perhaps I spotted his mistakes more than I should, he's never the most fluent on the ball, but he did make a fantastic last-man sliding tackle at one point and his pace was useful from left wingback. But, to answer my question, no, Jaden and Dennis didn't manage to conquer Europe this time. But I'm glad I got to see them try.

Well I will go first then If you are holidaying in Lanzarote you are all very welcome to visit. The Owl and Pussycat Inn, Puerto del Carmen. Wednesday games shown.

Go back to the original, don't spoil it with backgrounds, shields, arty little squiggles. It was an iconic thing of beautiful simplicity. Bring it back and don't fxxx with it! Simples.

Listen, not getting into to whole - should you or should you not buy fake kits here personally, BUT, I think this site needs a policy. Does Owlstalk allow counterfit goods posts or not, and if it does - fair play, I'll keep my gob shut on the matter. Not gonna lie, sometimes my kid doesn't get kit because I think, yeah - it's a bit pricey and I'll not bother this time and hope he doesn't ask.....so, I get both aspects. He also does have some knock off shirts, but they are all from foreign teams so I kind of (wrongly) think that's ok....It's not really but I allow that. I think the owner of this forum has a decision to make, because this isn't going away, is it? I'll not respond on either side after this post, by the way.

Don’t get this blaming Beedo for the second goal, total fluke, he set himself for a shot and ended up facing a lob, albeit off the ground.

Famewo had a fantastic game and showed perhaps why we didn’t bring in another centre half in the transfer window. If he keeps playing like that, he is exactly the left sided centre half we need. Shea Charles growing into things with every game. Apart from the silly foul which led to the penalty, he was everywhere today. Bannan ageing like a fine wine. Kobacki looks a real find to me, with more games he could be a seriously important player for us. Smith is proving he can be a handful this year, putting a good battling performance in against an excellent centre half in McGuiness. If we keep our heads up and keep playing like that we will be absolutely fine and results will come. Positive for me, up until the penalty fiasco, I enjoyed the way we played. Committed, quick passing, good triangles and getting crosses in.

Anne is safe and well, with family.

Good read

An absolute thoroughbred. My MoM today.

Im truly gob smacked by some of the posts I've seen on here in the last few weeks. Are we supporting the club or trying to win friends from other clubs? Its constantly "Oh I think we were a bit unlucky" or "things even themselves out, what about those 2 decisions we got 3 seasons ago" I'll say it how it is. We were screwed against QPR and we were screwed today. All by crap reffing. Nothing more nothing less.

Totally support this 100% Every Remembrance Sunday I parade to remember my friend Cpl Steve Palmer killed on exercise in BAOR 1989 RIP and Sapper Andy Colville & LCpl John Pottle RIP I am the last surviving member of 4 room mates still Alive young lads who shared comradeship whilst serving together. Thats why I parade,for my mates to remember them. Many others the same….

Makes some great saves but that second goal of there’s was a joke , defo could have stood and caught it , believe Charles is the better of the two

Being "cancelled" does not exist. It is not a thing. He is simply facing the consequences of his actions, as everyone should. He fizzed around and found out.

It made one of my piles pop out it was that good.

Under the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and various other laws, it is a criminal offence to sell fake or counterfeit goods. However, it is not illegal to purchase fake or counterfeit goods so long as you are buying for your own personal use and not for resale Discussing these replica shirts from DH Gate is absolutely no different to discussing murder in the dressing room section or having debates on drug dealing etc This site is neutral. Owlstalk as a site has never condoned buying from DH Gate as it has no opinion on the matter and never will. We are a forum, for supporting the team, having a laugh, and talking about allsorts of things - always have been - always will be. Ps having a thread on DH Gate shirts is not condoning it either, in the same way that having topics on someone getting run over by a tractor isn't condoning people to start getting into tractors to mow people down.

I thought he was excellent tonight, and after being harshly red carded in his last game, it was good to see him back in the team and leading by example at the heart of our defence. He made more tackles and clearances than anyone else on the pitch and was an absolute rock at times. On a night where so many of our team lacked composure on the ball, his passing out from the back was assured and calm, too. A decent night's work.

Absolutely didn’t play to Ugbos strength last night. Not sure what anyone wanted from him, Windass and Musaba either side were very poor. He got no service, you could see him getting frustrated when balls got nowhere near him. When Smith came on we played to his strengths. Ugbo is just quickly becoming the scapegoat

Key stage 1 teacher?

It really was 50/50. If they rescind it then they open themselves to criticism because it totally changed the game. Some might call them gutless

Christ. That is basically a massive list of people willing to hand out large sums of money to pretend foreign businessmen based on vague promises.

Not Liverpool at home, would be a media fest about Leppings Lane despite them having been here numerous times since 89...Will overshadow the occasion.

Had a great game this lad. Long may it last.

An utter legend. Best player in two decades and as a free signing a candidate for one of our best signings of all time. The last 5 years would have been an almighty struggle without him.

We all know it, but apparently some of us are more than happy with paying £75 for a kit you won't have in your hands for 12 months, with a badge brought back from the dead .. by the bloke who binned it off. Fanbase has absolutely lost the plot.

I don't think Ive ever seen a ref NOT blow up for that kind of carnage.

Anyone who's talking us up in the media should be encouraged. Whether they personally have money or not. We need all the help we can. The years before Dejphon Chansiri - Dave Allen, Lee Strafford & Milan Mandaric - we our lowest in my memory. We got so very very close to going out of business. DC did a great job getting us out of that mire. He had a very good go at giving us the push to the Premier League. Just don't know if he has the funds (or will) to kickstart another push. It needs to be more sustainable this time around - based on improving players, selling them on, and gradually getting us to a position of strength. Realistically that can be a 3-5 year project at least.

Didn’t see all the game yesterday just highlights, and the lad has endured a lot of stick recently but what a ball to Bannan for the 3rd goal.

I'll get lambasted for this, but I don't think this is fair at all. We have installed and backed a top manager. He has brought in a huge backroom staff team who, I hope, will take the club forward. On the pitch, we have invested, but not willy nilly. We have some youth talent mixed with aging heads. A nice blend. The youth team appears to have some decent prospects, who I hope will continue to be blooded via cup competitions etc. Off the pitch, whilst I haven't looked in depth at the figures, we have significantly reduced our wage bill and whilst I still don't think we're maximizing our potential revenue streams, we're not smashing money around like it's gone out of fashion. In terms of the plan it appears self evident through the above.

I think it looks really well and is a great idea. No idea why anyone could be negative about it.

I don’t believe that Owlstalk has disclosed whether or not posts about counterfeit goods. This is my take on it and why I believe that it is important to outline as to why many people don’t have much option but to go down this route. For many fans, buying official football kits is simply unaffordable. The prices of genuine kits have soared in recent years, often costing upwards of £100 or more. This makes them inaccessible to many people, particularly families with children who quickly outgrow their clothes or fans in countries with lower income levels. Counterfeit kits provide a more affordable option, allowing fans of all economic backgrounds to support their favourite teams without breaking the bank. Moreover, counterfeit kits make the sport more inclusive by giving fans the opportunity to participate in the culture of supporting their team, regardless of financial status. The essence of being a football fan is about passion, loyalty, and community – not about how much money you can spend on official merchandise. Allowing access to cheaper alternatives helps keep the sport grounded in its roots and prevents it from becoming an exclusive club for those who can afford expensive merchandise. There's also the argument that the profit margins on official kits are often disproportionately high, and not all the money goes directly to the clubs. A significant portion often ends up with the manufacturers and retail chains. For fans who still want to support their club, there are other ways to do so – attending matches, buying tickets, engaging with club content, or supporting grassroots initiatives directly linked to the club, rather than feeling obligated to purchase official merchandise. Buying counterfeit kits can be a way of pushing back against the commercialisation of football and challenging the idea that fandom should be monetised at every opportunity. It's a choice that reflects a desire for affordability, inclusivity, and fairness in the sport.

On this day in 1867 members of the Sheffield Wednesday Cricket Club met at the Adelphi Hotel in Sheffield to form a Football Club to keep members of the together in the winter. The famous Wednesday Club of Sheffield was born ! A short pictorial journey through 157 years ! Tomorrow also marks the 100th anniversary of the demise of the Sheffield Wednesday Cricket Club in 1924 but the Football club is still hanging on in there and is remains Yorkshire's most successful club! We were the first team from Yorkshire to bring the FA Cup back to God's own county in 1896 from our ground at Olive Grove. The move to Owlerton in 1899 and promotion that season was the catalyst to great success in the first decade of the 20th Century winning the 1st Division title in 1903 & 1904 and the FACup in 1907 Further success came in the 1930 when to club was one of the top teams in the land winning further back to back Division 1 tiles in 1929 & 1930 together with the FA Cup again in 1935 Silverware thereafter has been a little elusive and we came close in 1960/61 in the league and 1966 in the FA Cup final. It would be 1991 before the club brought a cup back again to the home of football Keep the faith we will rise again !
