  1. Thought yous were after that manager at Reims?
  2. RIP Ricky Will never forget Derby County away young man. Coming into the pub we were in, encouraging us to go to a pub in the city centre as they had a karaoke on. I probably had one beer before leaving as the place was an absolute dump. There wasn't a karaoke going on at all nor was there any other form of Saturday entertainment as he mentioned. About 15 minutes later after we left, word got round that Derbys firm turned upto the pub and gave him a hiding. Typical Ricky one of the fans with us said.
  3. Listened to a podcast with Le Tiss and heard it was only Tottenham that ever made a bid for him during the time Venables was manager. Very early in his career that would have been. Very surprised at that given the talent he had. A wonderful footballer to watch Him and Dennis Bergkamp scored some unbelievable goals in the PL.
  4. Since Röhl has come in, he's arguably been our player of the season.
  5. That would have meant you had the birds nest or whatever it is we call that corner I honestly do not remember you having that corner. I do remember the Richie Barker game where you brought a fair few and think you did sell out the leppings lane end but didn't have any fans in the corner. Is that the game you're going on about?
  6. Michael Johnson was an outstanding loan signing as well. Came in and sorted the defence out during Laws' first full season.
  7. That Simek game, I remember on Radio Sheffield the commmentator having to apologise on air because Jon Pearson got into a bit of bother with some Millwall fans after the goal. Quite hilarious to listen to Went when Simon Donnelly scored both goals in an unlikely 2-1 win over them (they were flying at the time and had Tim Cahill playing for them I think). Small bit of trouble after the match overlooking South Bermondsey train station. Did hear a group of Millwall fans on the platform saying they'd put a Wednesday fan under the next train if there was one there. That moment there was the time I decided never to wear a Wednesday shirt away from Hillsborough. Haven't worn one since
  8. Thanks Leicester for taking it easy second half Probably under instructions from their captain. Get the 3 points but don't damage the oppositions goal difference
  9. Probably saw the sandwich and realised it wasn't a greasy chip one How dare officials eat anything other than greasy chip sandwiches. A complete insult to our song we stole from our boyfriend, Rotherham United. Fairness in greasy chip sandwiches protest coming up
  10. When we signed Paul Warhurst from Oldham, wasn't he a centre back with them or a full back? Pretty certain he was a defender with them. It was only down to injuries that Francis put him up front in his 2nd season with us
  11. Out of interest, during Darrens time at Huddersfield - did their fans get all wet after a defeat so that they could compete in the 'who can post the first ERM' mocking his speech just like the idiots at S6 did? That man turned our fortunes around. I remember Bannan saying this was an awful place (and I wouldn't be surprised as to who he's referring to there). I doubt any supporter thought we would finish 5th in his first full season in league one, given the state of the club and our previous record of first season visits in that division. I'll never work out why he's so unpopular. He did a far better job here than Gary Megson did, yet Megson is deemed god status.
  12. Wonder if we'll be facing a new manager when we play Huddersfield
  13. You wont get me disagreeing on the brand. I did think they would play a reserve team at the time but I cannot remember why this was rejected (as well as the fly them to Brazil offer). Im not sure if theres youtube videos on that tournament but from memory, I don't think either them or Real Madrid were interested in the competition. Both participated and neither got to the final as they treated it like a preseason friendly competition.
  14. No it wasn't. If you sit down with Ferguson, Edwards and the players at Manchester United at the time, they would laugh at that statement. Never did they see rejecting the FA Cup for one season to please the 2006 bid as an advantage for other competitions. They failed to defend their Champions League after getting comprehensively outplayed by Real Madrid. Didn't win the league cup. A large fixture list pile up, one of many reasons why Ferguson did not want to go to Brazil for the competition. Which they had in the end due to playing 8 games in April but luckily for them, they had the title sown up practically. They won the PL at a canter due to their consistency and the likes of Arsenal and Leeds being so hot and cold. Arsenal couldn't even beat Wednesday that season who were an embarrassment to the division. Plus David Davies during his begging never mentioned anything about giving them an advantage. It was Davies that rejected Man Utds plea to send a team over to Brazil for the 3rd round game, something Martin Edwards and Alex Ferguson wanted. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/fa_carling_premiership/381662.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/football/379410.stm The FA, the Labour Government, the PL and the 2006 Bid that downgraded the competition, not Manchester United.
