Wayne Rooney leaves Wayne Rooneys Derby County
Whitechapel Owl replied to ANDY's topic in General Football Chat
Can't blame him but I'm still quite surprised. He's obviously just ran out of patience with it all. It's going to be a really tough job whoever takes over because even if a takeover is completed, the expectations will be unrealistic. -
Oh yeah of course they did

When the fixtures are compiled they try to avoid 'big' games on certain dates, first game, boxing day, last day etc. I'd have thought Wednesday Derby might have fallen into this bracket in League One but apparently not. I can't recall playing them last day in the Championship before but I may be wrong.

I am surprised we're playing Derby last game though, I'd have thought the police would have advised against that.

They're nothing to worry about next season, even if they finally get the ownership sorted I think the season will come too soon.

I wouldn't be so certain everyone would get it at a tenner a month, Sky customers would be delighted obviously, but for everyone else there's a lot of £10 a month things around now, and I don't think I'm alone in that I can only afford/willing to pay for a certain amount of those. It was an easy decision when it was just Netflix, but there's all sorts of things around now that want a tenner a month. I'm not certain this model would put as money into the game as the current Sky setup would, and if that's the case then this wouldn't happen.

Seedings are better for the overall enjoyment of events like the World Cup. It lessens the likelihood of unbalanced games in the later stages of the tournament. I can see why people would argue it is unfair, but a team/person should eventually become a seed themselves if they're good enough. The one stage of seeding I'm not keen on is in the qualification playoffs, if you've messed up your qualifying group stage, you don't have a right to be seeded in my opinion. It always annoys me how Portugal seem to benefit from this.

The system isn't great, the players usually vote quite a while before the season ends. Son scored 7 in the last 7 games I think, probably after most votes had been cast. With the PFA awards it's always a big advantage to have had a great first half of the season, which is why Salah is the bookies favourite this year, instead of Kevin De Bruyne.

The Mystery Wednesday Player (Game 2)
Whitechapel Owl replied to Whitechapel Owl's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
It's a bit of a relief to be honest because I was really scraping the barrel with the upcoming clues, one of which was absolutely ridiculous. He must be one of the most boring people ever to play football, I couldn't find anything interesting about him. -
The Mystery Wednesday Player (Game 2)
Whitechapel Owl replied to Whitechapel Owl's topic in Sheffield Wednesday Matchday
Well done @shandypants it was indeed the forgettable Marlon Broomes. The first clue as spotted by @Tewkesbury was a wordle, and the answer was Centre-back. The second clue was his clubs by their county flag, starting with Blackburn - Lancashire and ending with Tranmere - Merseyside (which doesn't have a flag, hence the grey box. -
