If Röhl gets the Glasgow Rangers job
Geörge Whitebread replied to danblakemore's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
I don't think it matters who our manager is, tbh. Nobody can conjure up a way of avoiding the drop. Not Henrik, not Danny, not Pep, not even Big Dazza Moore (blaspheme, I know!). So, there's certainly no point losing sleep over it. -
An idea for anyone that does still attend (because they've paid for their season ticket, so why should they miss the game, and all that)... Please don't occupy your usual seat, especially if that seat is low down in the stands. Instead, go up as far as your legs will carry you, to the very top/back of the seats, so you might as well not be there at all, as far as it looks on TV. Also, please don't go to those seats until after the game kicks off, delaying your entry as long as you can, so the cameras can pan around empty stands, and please leave as early as you can (to beat the traffic ). If we're 3 down after 30 minutes, for example, how much fun is the next 60+ going to be? Get yersen off t'pub! You aint seen me, right?!!

Can we do a deal at 10,000? 840 splitters can buy tickets "bEcaUe THeY haVe a DiFferENt oPiNiOn"* But, the 841st deserves everything he/she gets... for some reason. * I'm only messing, btw. WAWAW! As much as I'm being daft there, I sincerely hope it does stay above 10,000... and even more importantly, that season ticket holders do the difficult but honourable and necessary thing, and stay away.

Staff Join UNITE union.
Geörge Whitebread replied to adelphi1867's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
I like that they felt confident enough to join UNITE, safe in the knowledge that they won't have to worry about it ending up UNITED because a D (taxis) will never turn up. -
Player Ratings v Coventry
Geörge Whitebread replied to Owlabroad2001's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Unnecessarily abrasive, as per. Hence the "hope". Well, I haven't opted for Lowe in place of Brown, and nor did I opt for Ugbo or McNeill. But what other option do we have on the right? Valery, perhaps, if we want to park the bus (in old money); but that means Palmer starting, and I don't think he's playing well atm. -
I can see why a Werther's-lovin South-stand pensioner might struggle to muster a solo rendition of "I don't care about...", risking a round of tuts at his/her effing n jeffin (or w-ing and c-ing), tbh. Shouting at officials that are physically present, and presumably capable of hearing, in the immediate aftermath of dodgy decision, is the equivalent of beeping at a driver that cuts you up or raising your voice to warn your kids that you're not happy about them jump-scaring their dodgy-tickered nanna. None of the above will prevent the event from happening because it's too late for that. But there might, at least, be a minor chance of them acting differently in the future because folk don't generally like being told off. Shouting at an arrogant ignoramus that isn't even there to hear it is more akin to barking at the telly during Prime Minister's Questions. That is, except for the fact that others are around to hear you. So, perhaps more like shouting "the end is nigh" on a street corner. Or, to put it another way, I think the silent majority lack the stamina for a sustained attack in this war of attrition. So, they want to pick their battles rather than running out of steam swinging punches at thin air.

Player Ratings v Coventry
Geörge Whitebread replied to Owlabroad2001's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Horvath - 6 Palmer - 5 Iorfa - 6 Weaver - 6 M. Lowe - 5 Amass - 6 Valery - 5 Bannan - 8 Ingelsson - 6 J.Lowe - 7 Cadamarteri - 3 (headless chicken atm ) Brown - 6 (looked bright again) McNeill - 3 (lost possession 11 times in 21 touches ) I hope this is how we start against Charlton... Horvath Valery - Iorfa - Weaver - Lowe Chalobah - Bannan J.Lowe - Ingelsson - Amass Brown -

Only option now is players refusing to play

@Owlstalk Admin Team, is it time to add a Mick McCarthy face emoji? -
The ref must've caught a Wednesdayite smiling and thought, "not on my watch"!, what with us having everything our own way at the moment.

You'd never know it, though. Resting Brummy Face is his only expression. -
Yellow and black tie
Geörge Whitebread replied to dazowl1985's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Bit formal for a game. And, ironically, the first reason I had to dislike Chancer... when he insisted that I wear a tie (& jacket) if I wanted to retain access to the seats...etc. that I enjoyed throughout Milan's tenure. That and jacking the prices up massively. Tw@! -

We'll be relegated by Christmas, sadly. Points deduction will be the final nail in the coffin. It's a credit to the players that've turned out so far that avoiding relegation is even crossing the most hopeful of our minds.

United have over-performed over the last couple of decades, if anything. "Broken" is hyperbolic nonsense. Sadly, the same can't be said about us.

OMDT - Injuries Thread
Geörge Whitebread replied to Utah Owl's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
He's played 574 minutes across 19 appearances. So, just over half an hour each time. He's a crock and, I don't know what he's being paid, but he's almost certainly bad value. But, aside from that, on the rare occasion that he is fit, we are indisputably better with him on the pitch than when he's not. We just are. The goals for and against I'm referring to is within those same games. So, against exactly the same opposition and in the same circumstances. The stats are only an indicator though. You have to be brand new at football to not realise what a difference he makes. My only point is that is a massive shame he's made of biscuits rather than Bannanium. And in our current squad, aside from Baz, who's anywhere near his quality? M.Lowe is pretty dependable, Valery is clearly a decent player, Charles is a prospect, a few others might turn out to be in a few years and... erm... J.Lowe used to be half-decent before he signed for us. So, the idea that we shouldn't "rate" Chalobah (when fit, VERY OBVIOUSLY!!!) against the rest of the squad is borderline ridiculous. -
AI names Owls/Blades best all time XI
Geörge Whitebread replied to Sefton owl's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Ironically, they have Nilsson as #9, which is the only number he should't have!
