  1. That's not a conhumdrhum, you could hum one on youtube and then post a link on here.
  2. Never heard of either of 'em. Can you hum one for me?
  3. That's a bit bizarre. Let's leave aside any skill or effort he might perhaps have demonstrated in the last ten years, I don't understand why you or anyone could possibly want to hold Bannan responsible for Sheffield Wednesday's last ten years If he gave you a Tufty Club badge, would it make you feel better about him?
  4. I'll prove you wrong. The Waltons have $432 billion in the bank as a family and Walmart made $15 billion net profit in 2024. The family wealth and the business profitability has been - and continues to be - built on paying below average wages. There are no accurate figures for the percentage of their workforce who NEED FOOD STAMPS TO SURVIVE, but Walmart, like Sports Direct, is recognised as a high profit company and a low paying employer. They do give back, but, personally, I baulk at billionaire philanthropy paid for by the poorest. I would prefer owners with a greater sense of their social responsibility. For me, football's governing bodies have led us in the wrong direction and it should be all about fan ownership. I can moan about anyone, except my wife.
  5. There are probably a few small local businesses owed an amount that is comparatively small in terms of the club's total debt, but very significant in terms of their profitability. As a fanbase, would we consider trying to work with the administrators to identify these and fund raise for them?
  6. So you're saying it'd be no sweat for him? Even if he got us playing again soon, it's a massive entitled no from me.
  7. Aint got no ground Aint got no players Aint got no points Aint got no Money Aint got Danny Roohhhllll But we've got Henrik We've got Bannan We've got Svente We've got Liam We've got Max Loooowwwwe
  8. What if fans go the home games - not a pound in the ground, black and gold until sold - importantly, support the team like every game is the Peterborough game, but then stay as long as possible after the final whistle. This would create a new (albeit manageable) logistical headache, increase staff, stewarding and policing costs, be an audible protest during the post match interviews, it might be a chance to make a similar connection with the team as on away days, it also might get support from opposition fans, media attention and fans talking to each other. If you want to tell me this is a rubbish idea, that's fine, of course, but please be gentle. Like many, I worry about the current divisions and animosity between Wednesdayites. I am an ex sth, went to my first Wednesday game on 29th April 1976, went home and away when I lived on the sarf coast for 10 years. I won't bore you with more, but trust me, I could go on and on and on and on and on. I live 4,000 miles away with my lovely family, not much dosh and a diagnosis. If I was in the UK, nothing - nothing would stop me going to a game and I hate the idea that fellow fans would want to stop me going to a game. Don't get old, I've written that last bit and I can't remember why. It doesn't seem relevant, but hey ho, it's done. Have a great day.
  9. Division 2 post. You claim to be ITK, but don't give any details. Are you saying they ate better snap when they were kids or for brekkie this morning or what? I'm going to hanging fire on the trusting you bit for now and keep my faith in Henrik.
  10. Admin - This is yet another example of posters not following your guidelines. What is the point of having guidelines? "You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this site to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law." I am not trying to defend or offend anyone. The guidelines make sense to me.
  11. If you are interested, D Names are offering sheffield_delph in exchange for one night, eleven rooms at Premier Inn, Wrexham.
  12. Not heard him call anybody a turd though, have you? Firstly, on a personal level do you think it is OK to call someone a turd? Secondly, if the guidelines on this site explicitly rule against personal abuse, is it OK for the moderator to ignore it?
  13. I absolutely agree. Unfortunately on this thread, the moderator has chosen to ignore Owlstalk's own guidelines about posting personal abuse. Calling someone a turd is personal abuse, the guidelines clearly state that is not permitted. So I don't expect this site to understand the importance of the point that you raise.
