[Football] Albion are much praised on owlstalk

[Bakero]

We met up with a Wednesday fan in a recent visit to Munich. Decent guy, who had no truck with the Albion.

Apparently the manager is very "Well In" with the owner. He is practically unsackable. Much to the chagrin of the fans.

I heard the manager's getting sacked if they don't get something against Wolves on Friday.

 

[Gwylan]

Where does the expression Founder Members come from, is it a Sky thing?

I mean, it's not like they all got together and decided it would be a good idea or anything, they were just there.

It's a bit like me saying I'm a founder member of December 12th 2017, because I happen to be alive.

No, it's because Sheff Utd were founder members. They held a meeting and signed a document, the Founder Members Agreement, setting out the way the PL would be run. It wasn't because they happened to be there, they had an active role in setting it up

Gus to Wednesday.

 

[Taybha]

Sheff Weds

 

[driller]

Sheffield Wednesday

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I hope they sort themselves out and push for promotion. I'd love to see Sheff Weds in the PL.

I wouldn't.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Gus to Wednesday.

They could do a lot worse.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Aren't we known as the club that sings "Success by the Sea"?

You will be remembered.

Yes, the Owls fans I know, wanted him sacked last season.

Why do people find it so hard to spell Hughton?

Hewtonne.

I think the point being made is that these founder members were just the teams that were due to be in Division 1 anyway. There was nothing innovative in being a ‘founder member’ of this particular club. They were just there.

What I would love to know is who Sheffield FC, oldest football club in the country, used to play against?

 

[Bakero]

Hewtonne.

Exactly

But it's not the case 'they were just there'. They made a conscious decision to leave the FL and form the PL. It's not something that just happened; they could have voted against it.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I'm going to go against the grain here. Can't stand Wednesday- hope they get relegated

They'll never go down, they're MASSIVE

They talk about Preston NE being founder members of the Football League

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

They'll never go down, they're MASSIVE

Which will make it even more amusing if/when they do.

It's amusing enough that United are ahead of them and pushing for promotion to the Prem at the 1st attempt (this time round)
