  1. I assume the fan in question was caught eating a sandwich during the first half
  2. I remember we had one against Coventry City as well when Laws was in charge The replayed game, we scored an injury time equaliser from memory
  3. Hillsborough singing 'One Bryan Robson, there's only one Bryan Robson'
  4. Should never have been signed. We didn't even need him given the strikers we had at the club. His career started going downhill when Blackburn Rovers hired Paul Lambert as manager. Think he only scored 1 goal under him before moving onto Middlesbrough for a huge amount His debut away at Wigan Athletic, he looked like he hadn't touched a ball in years. Although it didn't help that the tactics Carlos started using was awful to watch.
  5. Aaah that famous evening We'd just lost 2-1 at home to Preston in a game where we should have scored 4 or 5. Jermaine Johnson hit the woodwork 3 times I think in that game They had lost 3-0 to Blackpool, injuries crippling their side according to Blackwell etc - then that rant came. Think it was in response to being asked if the team spirit is still there from memory? "That's a stupid question, come on, don't be stupid" I think he also added in the rant
  6. Man utd opted out the cup because they had something better to do. Oh for goodness sake, not this nonsense again That is I assume we are talking about the FA Cup?
  7. Totally agree Both clubs practically destroyed a young lads development by acting like a bunch of pre schoolers. Not saying he would end up a 25 goal a season Premier League striker but those wasted years that us and Leicester contributed to, quite frankly prevented any potential of that happening. Fair play to the young lad for rebuilding his career, something Danny Cowley should be praised for. The George Hirst that first played for Portsmouth looked like he never played football in his life. Thankfully for him, he turned his career round there and looked a far better player, winning over the Portsmouth fans big time. I know there's no such thing as loyalty in football but one day, I hope Hirsty goes back to Portsmouth since they saved his footballing career from being ruined by two childish clubs.
  8. Hopefully the transfer arrangement with Troyes for Ugbo was that all future monies we owe them are based on goals scored
  9. Resorting to writing something that could be perceived as casual racism Classy
  10. Alessandro Del Piero An absolute genius to watch. Very fortunate to have seen him towards the end of his career playing for Sydney FC. Certain had he not been injured, Clive Tyldsleys magical night in Barcelona would never have happened. There was a reason he was always number one on Sir Alex's list of players he'd unlikely get.
  11. Bessie was a Terry Yorath signing
  12. Regarding Bodo Is this the same Bodo that knocked out Lazio in that competition? That Lazio team who have a former player of ours that is apparently worth £400,000,000 since he left? Also beat the likes of Olympiakos, Porto, FC Twente and Braga as well? Or is the Bodo under question here a side that Andorra Reserves would beat?
  13. The European Cup being renamed The Champions League, followed by the withdrawal of the Cup Winners Cup. The top European Competition should be the winners of the respective divisions (plus the holders). There was nothing wrong with the European Cup, UEFA Cup and the Cup Winners Cup. I have no interest watching an alleged European Competition where a side finishing 5th in their respective league could end up winning a 'Champions League' tournament when they weren't even champions of their own division.
  14. What were people saying, worst foreign manager in the history of English football??? Takes some doing that then, being the worst foreign manager ever yet winning a European trophy. Where did it go wrong for Jus Luhakay, Remi Garde and Gianfranco Zola? Better managers than Ange apparently
  15. That horrifying clip of the supporter walking round the pitch completely covered in flames
  16. Can the club afford to put him on gardening leave? Especially if Pedersen says no Think many have forgotten the famous rant in November that our squad should be in the top 6. We have someone that believes you can get a top 6 team with Temu wages/purchases. Danny works with these players week in/week out. He knows that this squad is nowhere near top 6 material and is probably among 12 other sides that are basically trying to tread water and stay away from relegation. Next season, we are in big trouble if everyone leaves and we have to sign players paying Temu fees. I'd rather he goes out on a high and finds a new club that will pay the required compensation. He clearly thinks he's taken the club as far as he can and doesn't want to be a manager with a relegation on his CV. The job is probably way too big for him next season and that on top of being away from the family, hopefully a Bundesliga team takes him on. I'd be shocked if he gets a PL job
  17. Twin telling the Barnsley fans to f**k off - easily a 'I was there' moment The world record air guitar attempt that was an utter disaster. Hillsborough singing 'There's only one Bryan Robson' in the 2-0 derby victory Danny Dyer being in the Travellers after the Burnley 1-1 draw Catching the ball at Bristol City away. Throwing it back only for Paddy Collins to score from the resulting corner Swindon Town away, 40 degrees heat and being in Phil Kings pub Going from beating Liverpool 1-0 to a second division relegation battle within 5 years Chris Turners' Europe in 5 years comment - got a lot of time for Turner given the dross he had to work with Brian Laws removing his name from the legal papers 'Greggs the man' press conference
  18. It would be so funny if Burnley and Leeds lose their last 2 games (with United winning both) so that the two teams win promotion by 2 points I can just see the broken pub tables from the rants of the ham and cucumber sandwich about those 2 points.
  19. Least we know in this game Bannan can control the ball with his hand whenever he wants
  20. Seeing the similarities of this team and the 2006/07 team, it would be typical of Wednesday to go on a dazzling run and finish just outside the play offs missing out on the final day at Watford. I'd prefer not to be there. The two teams that finish 3rd and 4th will more than likely go to the final. We'd lose the semi final play offs against Sunderland, Burnley or United. Hopefully we can use this season to build on. We've got at least 2 more seasons I feel with the current management before being ready to challenge promotion. Having said that, I'm certain there'll be a circus happening during pre season so I'm not getting any hopes up.
  21. Nice to see away fans back at the Glasgow derby Cracking finish for the Gers' winner.
  22. I remember Milan making a statement after Megsons' sacking requesting that 'we all trust him' with this decision. Some of Garys' man management skills leave a lot to be desired but I do agree with you that Megson was no way 'shocking'. Once I listened to Michael Grays' chat about the standard of professionalism within our club, it kind of made sense why Megson was like he was with those players. Once he had his players, you could see we were becoming a better side. Obviously the Marshall saga and the run of defeats was enough for Milan to remove him.
  23. Little harsh on the job Gary Megson and Dave Jones did for us in that promotion winning season. Something else that should be remembered is that those two (Jones in particular) found a style for us to score and win games. We kept winning, which put the pressure on Sheffield United whereas the season we went up via the play offs, it can be argued we blew automatic promotion and the title. We gained 16 points in the 2011/12 season from losing positions. That does include when the opposition have recovered from going a goal down to take the lead (Yeovil away as an example) In Moores promotion season, I think we only gained 13 points from losing positions (again including a comeback at home to Pompey when we trailed 3-2) The play off failure season before, we did gain 19 points from losing positions and both championship play off seasons we gained 17 points and 15 points from losing positions. Given however we only managed to get 1 point from a losing position in our relegation season (final day draw at Derby) and I think we only gained 5 points from losing positions before Irvine got sacked, it does show that both Moore and Megson did extremely well in the circumstances to change the mentality of the club. The table chart though that is attached here I don't buy at all. Might mention win percentages but there is absolutely no way Jack Charlton can be deemed a worse manager than the likes of Alan Irvine, Carlos Carvahal and Trevor Francis. Jack Charlton is rightly regarded as one of the greatest Sheffield Wednesday managers we've had given what he inherited and turned around for Howard Wilkinson to finish off.
  24. Moving from the 'Theatre of Dreams' to the 'Theatre of Clowns' I see Quite apt given their current state
