Sheffield Wednesday forum

[sydney]

Sorry to go against the grain and all that - but it is a fair enough conclusion after the Hillsborough away match that they were better than us. They won for a start, and looked a bit too strong and a bit too experienced for us. There was a disgraceful challenge on Painter, but there was also El Abd's theatricals. And if you think that Wednesday are not a big club - then you have not been to Sheffield or Hillsborough.

The Wednesday fans I have met have been level headed - not expecting anything other than from their efforts on the pitch. And it has been a long time out of the top division for them.

Great club, great fans. Let's face it - you would not want people to make their judgements on the Albion from a lot of threads and posters on here.

oh do give over for fucksake.....

Have I mis-judged the tone of the thread ................. not the first time like.

I've hated Wednesday fans ever since my first girlfriend left me for one in 1978, would love to see them relegated.

Not that I'm one to bear a grudge ...

With you there Gwylan. Check out my signature (below)

Too bad we aren't going to get the chance to ram Irvine's stupid remarks down his throat, but it will be good to see big time Megson and his big time club down here fighting relegation in a few weeks time.

Astonishing how bad they doing really. And of course very funny.

Exactly. At the start of the season they looked as if they would be really good candidates to go up with a very strong side now all of a sudden, they have gone into a team who look like they COULD go down ..

Owell

 

[BensGrandad]

We could be the final nail in their relegation, which would go down well with Mandaric.

Their form since the 6-2 mauling of Bristol Rovers...

Seven points from a potential 36. Lucky for them that they had a fairly decent start.

I never thought they would be a force, but I didn't think they would do so poorly. Their front line is dire and I am sure they are paid rather well. Mellor and Morrison - I wouldn't have either of them.

 

[Sausage]

Up the Argyle

Yeah.

Anyway, the way things are are going they'll end up being a miles bigger club than Wednesday

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Wednesday keep saying they are a massive club....yes a 40,000 seat stadium which they cannot fill to 50%....about 18,000,that has games called off from leaking water pipes,nearly went out of business from overspanding on players and wages,but were saved by the kindness of the Co-op bank wiping out a considerable sum...having said that I would not have wanted them to go out of the league....you have got to have opposition....thought Wednesday might have been that opposition....but....

Would you have said that last September.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Would you have said that last September.

Definitely. Morrison is on a downward spiral and I don't think Mellor is anything better than a run of the mill striker. He's been around for yonks and I can't remember him ever doing anything off note.

 

[BensGrandad]

I thought that early season Mellor seemed the type of striker who would take Wednesday up and if offered him I would have been happy for him to sign for us. However it hasnt worked out for him.

BG, did you go to Hillsborough?

 

[BensGrandad]

BG, did you go to Hillsborough?

Yes and thought that he was a big and strong poacher striker who would power his way to a number of goals, which he did do early season, but that early striking hasnt continued.

 

[Ecosse Exile]

mmm Big and strong i would agree with, maybe even fat instead of big, i thought he was way to slow to be a decent striker and although El- Abd made the most of that shove, he did raise his hands and should have been sent off.
I wouldn't take him over any of our strikers.

 

[BensGrandad]

I agree with both of those comments but as I said at the start of the season I thought that he would be a big hit.

Shouldn't there be an 's' at the start of that last word?

Made me laugh, and i agree
