  1. I liked it but never bought it. Its funny how the chupa chups sponsor was a bit of a joke at the time and now a classic. Anyone got any shirts from that era of DHgate? I haven't seen any on there. The home one was brilliant!
  2. Most of the lads would be on loan lower down the pyramid if the club wasn't a complete disaster at the moment. Some have stepped up brilliantly. I understand what the OP meant though I was interested to see how McNeil, Kobacki and Ugbo would do this season with a run of games and none of them have managed to hold down a regular start. Still time and this season really is a free hit. Chris Powell's comment that lower attendances will remove pressure and help was interesting as I had never thought of that. I just hope the club is sold and the better ones stay and enjoy long careers here but I have to say I have been very proud of the players and manager so far this season.
  3. The regulator will need a quick win to show its got teeth. My fear is (as many others have said) it will get bogged down in legal challenges and be a bit useless. Removing Chansiri from Wednesday would be a good start.
  4. I was working in Scotland a couple of weeks ago and the Rangers fans all rated Gassama. They were saying that he was the only positive this season and then Martin played him out of position. One Rangers fan asked me who I supported and when I said Wednesday he said "sorry your clubs f**ked pal".
  5. Weirdly I have some experience here (i know it’s rare). I worked for a “sports” team and we didn’t get paid for a couple of months. We were advised to carry on working as normal as any “strike” would damage our attempts to get payment if the teams issues ended up being long term. if we carried on as normal there would be no grey area and we would get all owed money. It didn’t get that far as the team paid us all up in full and the issue never occurred again. similar with Mandaric and the land of fire agreement. By keeping the sponsor in place they owed all the fee. Funny enough our team had a similar issue with a sponsor and did the same thing.
  6. Not cool… funny but not cool.
  7. I was talking to a Spurs fan last week and when I asked about Postecoglu he said he would be at Forest soon. Some Greek / Cypriot link. I thought there was no chance it would happen but here we are. As mentioned above what can he do to improve on last season? Will be interesting to see if he can finish above Spurs.
  8. 94 they made the quarters. 1998 they went blonde. Petrescu was signed after WC1994. Spurs signed one of the squad to. Popescu(?).
  9. 1) Kieran Lee against Brighton. Atmosphere was electric. Great evening. 2) Windass against Barnsley. A bit like the Barnsley defence I was so focused on Gregory I didn't notice Windass appearing late. 3) Wycombe. All afternoon it never felt in doubt. When Antonio scored the first the noise was unreal. The joy on my little brothers face was wonderful. All 3 moments were down to Owls fans creating something special. That's why Chansiri wont win. Without getting cheesy no matter what happens in the next few months we will all still be here and we will have those big moments in the future.
  10. Completely agree. An Andorran will feel the same pride pulling on his national shirt. This is the one plus to the nations league is that these nations get to play similar ranked opponents and have a chance to win games. It was great seeing San Marino pick up a win recently. They all deserve to be part of the qualification process.
  11. I do like a good grizzle.
  12. Here come the Botofogo signings...
  13. All halftime "entertainment" is s**t. Bin it off.
  14. I may remember this wrong but I thought he did stay and was the player subbed off when Pressman was sent off in the first game and that was the catalyst for him leaving. Only a kid at the time so could be completely wrong.
  15. Stevie May was a good signing. Scored a few goals in a really poor team and was sold for a profit.
