  1. Won 3, drawn 1, lost 1. That’s the most positive it’s been all season. I don’t think fans protesting about a guy who wasn’t going to pay the players wages will impact the players on the field. But if you’re going to ignore that, it only serves to suggest you have some form of agenda. The players are fully aware they have the support of the fans and the protests are clearly aimed at Chansiri. I’d even wager than a good number of the players are happy the guy who threatened not to pay them is getting stick! I know I would! Chansiri’s own actions have caused a LOT more negativity than anything from the fans. If the protests are damaging or ineffective, what do you propose is done to stop the clear downward spiral the club has been in for years?
  2. Chansiri can't even afford to repair his telly properly, good luck with the £100m pitch!
  3. Damaging? Last I saw, we'd won 3, drawn 1, and lost 1 when there had been match day protests. 10 points from 5 games - automatic promotion form. Unless you mean damaging off the field? If so, do you have an example?
  4. Me. Back to back games for me - not done that since we left England 12 years ago! Only my third game of the season - 3-0 loss at Swansea, 1-1 draw vs Stoke, and now Rovers in amongst the 7,000 - pretty sure I'm due a win! Will be needing to set off at around 5:30am, so boozer will be determined by what time I get parked up.
  5. Sees a low allocation regardless given it's a dead rubber for you guys. That said, it could also be a dead rubber for us soon!!
  6. We have a rubbish owner, of course, but the buck stops with the manager. They take the plaudits when we win/go up, they take the stick when we lose/go down. Didn't hear anyone cheering Chansiri when we went up last season...
  7. Yeah. League One standard was dross. The top few were levels above the rest - and so were their budgets. It's pretty dross again this season.
  8. Depends what the alternatives are and if they're in the right frame of mind to perform for the club, on what's probably one of their last games here.
  9. Just his way of saying he's doing everything for the club whilst he's here. He knows he's not going to be here forever and so do we. Reading too much into the translation IMO.
  10. The lounge access, to save trying to find a boozer worth going in to around Ewood Park, is probably worth it alone. Paid £35 for lounge access in the Swansea end earlier in the season, and that came with just a free beer at half time (and the price of food inside was extortionate!).
  11. This. Except I won't loyally defend our employees if I don't think they are good enough/pulling their weight. Darren took us down, Darren failed to get us back up the first season, and he scraped us up the second season. 96 points doesn't show the poor quality of opposition we faced and narrowly scraped a win against (and there was a fair few!) and that we threw away a massive advantage at the top of the league coming into Easter. The Play-off win doesn't show we lost 4-0 to Peterborough and laboured over the line in the 120th minute against 10 men Barnsley. Promotion in the record books doesn't show we ended up in the Championship with an aging squad which was well off the standards for that level. Darren did plenty of positives at SWFC and after the Peterborough second leg, I thought that in itself deserved another season. But I can also point to individual games where he deserved sacking on the spot. A good guy, but I think we all knew he had a ceiling, and us at the top end of League One/battling Championship relegation was that ceiling. He showed that at Doncaster before us, he's gone on to show that at Huddersfield, and now at Port Vale, I think he just took the wrong job when he should have waited and taken a break. Thankfully, after a shocking replacement for Darren, we've got a manager to take us up levels (if he stays!), so let's enjoy that, thank Darren for his services, and finally move on!
  12. I won't attend a Sheffield Wednesday appearance at Wembley for the Football League Trophy final. I'd rather sit at home, sh*t in my hands, and clap. What an absolute stain on our Honours Board that would be. No thanks.
  13. That's not the Wednesday way. In such a scenario, Wednesday then go on to beat Blackburn - prolonging the hope!
