I think James, Stones & Guehi are certainties if fit... Agree with Rashford, his top level of fit and on form is above all other wise players bar Saka...

It would need to be a complete Spurs job where we move out, demolish everything, then rebuild with the pitch rotated about 30° counter clockwise to be perpendicular with the roads. The increased footprint would obviously be impacted by the river so there would need to be some specialist engineering in place. I don't mind the stadium being in the same location but the name absolutely has to change, as many have pointed out any internet search mostly references the disaster so we need out of that shadow.. New shiny sponsored stadium will do that job..

I sincerely hope he sticks to his guns on this one... For all the good Southgate did, not taking a proper LB and continually playing Foden / Bellingham together until the 80th minute in most games really held us back at the Euro's.... The fact we got to the final with those issues shows how good we are...

Crazy isn't it.. We're like a hospital patient who's just been told the cancer has gone and fully in remission whereas they're a city trader being told the annual bonus will only be £100k instead of £250k....

Jermaine Pennant on Talk sport just now.. "Liverpool aren't in a crisis, Sheffield Wednesday are in crisis..." At least it's proof some of the media have their heads screwed on properly...

There have been similar examples in the UK (albeit watered down) like Man Utd having an academy graduate in their squad or Yorkshire CCC only having players if they were born in Yorkshire... Agreed it would be very hard to start from scratch and be competitive..

Exactly this.. Distribution of TV money equally would increase competitiveness creating enhanced demand for the product... Back in the days of Deportivo winning the title and Denilson's transfer to Betis were when La Liga had the chance to challenge. Even Sevilla dominating UEFA cup hasn't helped domestically..

Best thing that could happen to Scottish football is Hearts & Rangers going toe to toe with Celtic... Tight title race instead of winning by 20pts in March would create far more media interest internationally... Better players may be attracted to the league as a result..

That statement is a bad Thai translation from being Chansiri-esque...

Anyone in the ground able to feed acknon what was played?

Just ordered myself a polo shirt & keyring from the website, first time I've ever spent ANY money on the club (always been armchair fan from afar since being a kid as left Sheffield when I was 3)... Thought now would be a good time to start

Since u been gone; Thank u, next; Shout out to my ex; Somebody that I used to know........ Best one of all - Go your own way from Fleetwood Mac....

Is it any different to Wednesday fans? Rightly or wrongly they expect to be winning titles and not making an embarrassment of themselves in Europe. Despite the coaching CV, DR has no top flight managerial experience let alone title challenging or European campaigns. How would we react if Wednesday appointed someone who avoided relegation and then finished 12th in the third tier with Duisberg, Peterborough or Racing Santander? One of my best friends from school is a Rangers fan, told him they've won the lottery...

Yeah I could have written that better to make more sense and easier to understand

The number of teams is crazy... 32 World cup and 16 Euro's make for far better scheduling and quality.. I appreciate that's coming from a rose tinted England perspective where more often than not we'll qualify. The only saving grace for me are the players from smaller nations (likes of Best, Haaland, Weah, Bale) who now have a better chance of being there.. Otherwise it's just a money grab..

We can't make the mistake of previous tournaments... If Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Rice have a metatarsil go 2months before the world cup starts we shouldn't be playing them hoping they get fit... Square pegs in square holes with fit players please.... The lack of left back at the last Euro's really annoyed me...

Nope, no shiney new stadiums, Championship football with no EPL funding for years... As a city we took 75,000 to Wembley back in 1993!!! With population growth, Premier League tourism and away following from bigger teams in the top division 60,000 is no way a conservitive estimate for the one city team. All of this doesn't really matter though as it will never happen

From an acheivement point of view absolutely Newcastle and Leeds certainly lag behind but I was talking of overall stature of the one city team from reputation, investment potential etc. This helps solidify the point that both Sheffield teams merging would not guarantee success. Newcastle and Sunderland, both Manchester teams and both Liverpool teams attract circa 90,000 - 120,000 combined on a city /area level, Sheffield as a one city Premier League team would definitely pull in 60,000...

I think these two points highlight the major drawbacks of this thinking, no matter how much of a financial no brainer the suggestion sounds... A one city Sheffield team competing in the top half of the Premier League would easily attract regular crowds of 60,000. A modern multi use stadium akin to Spurs would mean Sheffield would be high on the list for future World cups / Euro's as well as rugby league games and concerts etc. There's no reason Sheffield as a city can't have the same footballing stature as the likes of Newcastle, Leeds, Napoli, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Lyon amounst others

It's amazing how they are so reliant on Rodri for both spoiling the opposition and dictating their own game...

This in a nutshell is the problem clubs outside of London and to a lesser extent Liverpool / Manchester and Birmingham have... The Yorkshire, North East, East Midlands clubs have to pay massive salaries to compete... Middlesborough had the same issue at that time when Robson was signing Juninho, Ravanelli etc

In no way was this the ref's fault. They have a duty of care to the players, if one got a serious injury due to the adverse and worsening weather the club involved and media would be all over condeming the ref...

Thought Bannan scored both goals against Portsmouth for a start... Lets face it the only subjects he's up on these days are any stories that involve drinking with ex pro's or horse racing..

Brazil seemed to be turning the conversation away to anything but Wednesday at every opportunity

All I can do is echo these points... I can see why they split the main host duties as coming in for Lineker would be big shoes to fill but Chappers being the main man and Logan / Cates sharing MOTD2 duties would have been better.. I think Onuoha is fantastic, if he'd had the career that Rio / JT / Campbell had (or played for Liverpool!!) he'd be a weekly fixture on the show....
