Lord Nilsson Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Deluded - some of the suggestions made about potential signings and managerial appointments suggest we think we are far bigger than we really are. Arrogant - this is linked to deluded. We seem to think we are Barcelona or something. People on social media saying that managers and players who would never even want to manage/play for us in a million years aren't good enough is embarrassing. We seem to think we are Man City or something. Aggressive and rude - instead of saying 'I have reservations about this guy's managerial record', people on twitter say 'This guy isn't wanted at S6 - he can roger off!'. If people like Big Sam/Lambert read twitter, the attitude of fans on twitter must horrify them. It seems at times they are just attention seekers trying to be as controversial as possible. Gullible - lots of people take as gospel any foundless rumour they read then kick off about it. Insular and change resistant - the pitch forks come out for anyone other than a Sheffielder or an ex player. The starting point with anyone we don't know is that they are poo . The outcry about Gray leaving would make you think he was the messiah. Arsenal fans said Arsene who? Who'd heard of the Watford and Boro managers last year? Drama queens - some proper drama queens - people kicking off at present like we are on the brink of admin in the fourth division. Lack of signings means we're only going to have 7 players at the start of the season. Reading this site and social media, you'd honestly think that the majority of Wednesday fans have a screw loose! Other fans must think we are a right set of numpties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopswfc76 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Agree with most of that but can't believe people hadn't heard of Middlesbrough manager before he was appointed. Edited June 13, 2015 by coopswfc76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clowne Owl Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 These character traits could be used to describe fans of any football club. Or about 20 million people who use the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 And our best trait? Passionate: no matter how it manifests itself, and God knows we don't all see eye to eye on many issues, the one thing that binds us all together as Owls is the love we feel for our club. No matter how vehemently we may disagree, I think some of us would do well to remember that ultimately we all want the same thing: a successful Sheffield Wednesday.

ItalianOwl7 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Agree, but I would also like to add that none of these are exclusive to Wednesday, in fact all clubs have a large portion of fans like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Arrogant. Calling pretty much any other team tinpot. We have been out of the top flight for 15 years and won one trophy since 1935 ( the League Cup) We also are deluded about our away support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
