Sheffield Wednesday

 

[Albion my Albion]

I always thought SWFC should become the Camels after I saw this car insurance advert in the States.

I bloody hate GIFs as comment, but Stan and Ollie guffawing at the massive? I will have some of that, thanks

I have a sneaking suspicion they will keep their priorities on their league and field a weakened side, allowing us to show what three seasons in the premier league can do for strength in depth of a squad.

Their fans are definitely expecting a second string........

Ever since I found out that Morgz is an Owl I have had an even deeper desire that they do absolutely appallingly. (If you don't know who Morgz is then congratulations and keep it that way) Wednesday

Pray, do tell.

As much as I can get behind the whole Wednesday massive club theme, I do have a small voice at the back of my mind that the vast majority of the fans will just be decent football mad people like the rest of us, and they have a half batshit owner who has decided to play with fire chasing the PL dream. They are probably in a downbeat mood because they have the incompetent EFL clowns working out their punishment for a blatantly odd piece of financial accounting. Would put a dampener on the season if you knew it doesn’t really matter how well you do, you’re likely getting a points deduction that will take you below the top six. Plus they’ve lost a few on the bounce. You know what we are like when that happens!

I feel they lost their best chance a few years ago and will need some serious surgery. They don’t have a coherent, joined up approach to running a club. They haven’t aligned their academy, loans and first team up. They just hire in mercenaries and get hammered. Must hurt to look at the Blades squad and how they are dying for each other. Some of the WEDNESDAY players look like they don’t give a shit. I feel for the fans, but since this is the approach for most clubs, I only have so much empathy to spare them.

100% this. As you rightly say. the current owners may well be half baked, but the overwhelming majority of their fans, are probably decent, law abiding, football loving folk, just like us!

My son in law is a Wednesday fan and he’s coming to stay on Saturday evening. I have been telling him how great we are all season, a defeat would be embarrassing! Come ON you Seagulls!

He is a moronic but highly successful Youtuber whose content appeals to young kids. Honestly your life will be richer without him.

Oh dear, thinking of our prospective line-up tomorrow you may have set yourself up for a, difficult afternoon with your son-in-law.

I don't want to worry you but Lawrenson says:


"I would back Brighton to beat them, though, and the Seagulls might fancy a bit of a FA Cup run this year because they have got a bigger squad, and there is a bit of a buzz about the way they are playing under Graham Potter"

Thanks for that - plague avoided then. Is that what marketing people call people like him an “influencer”.

Oh well that's blown. it. CRASHING out at the 3rd round.

Life hasn’t really turned out how they thought it would after their spawny play off win at the Amex, has it?

Not only did they fail to go up, but we subsequently did, they’ve barely troubled the promotion places since, and the Blades have come from nowhere to establish themselves as a PL side. Now Leeds will probably go up this year too. Oh, and that potential massive (how appropriate) points deduction they’re facing.

WE’RE SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY, WE’RE ON OUR WAY BA....oh.

Hope you’re all bringing your phone torches tomorrow, ducks. Can’t wait to see them again!

Forgive the pedant in me ,Edna, but they drew with us at the Amex in the playoffs.
1-1, their ‘goal’ was a foul on Dunk that would have been disallowed by VAR(probably)

Me, still bitter??

Both us of us will take the “concentrating on the league” line if we lose I imagine

As much as I love winding my mate up who is a big Owls fan, I do have a lot of sympathy for them. They were taken over by someone who was apparently promising the earth, had a lot of money, but unfortunately knew bugger all about football.

Their fans dared to dream and soon realised that this clown didn't know what he was doing. Fake sponsorships, his name all over the stadium and shirts, selling the stadium cause he has spent too much money on has been mercenaries. It looks like he is only in it to boost his own ego. Thank god we have Tony Bloom.

This isn't the fans fault and yes they are a big club with mostly decent supporters, although I encountered a few of their morons after the semi final play off at hillsborough. Most of the fans I spoke to were very knowledgable.

Anyway, looking forward to tomorrows game and hope to see some of the youngsters shining... Please not as many as the Villa game though!
