You have to stick with Owlstalk for a couple of months... I mean I can remember posting me first long winded post on here.....(Yea I know theres been plenty since)...but I refreshed it and the first reply I got was "C..Oont!" So you either carry on or retreat into the interweb.. Its not so bad once you get used to it

One step away from the "Play off losers" who sit in the stadium until the cameras catch 'em cryin'

Thats always a possibility...but not a bad trait in a Wednesday fan

Mate...I can remember coming back from somewhere or other on the S.U.T when the Wednesday players coach overtook us on the motorway....and if the fans could have got at the players...they would have f.ookin' killed them..The whole coach was rocking with vitriol...

Wiv a MACHETE?????

The bloke wiv the Machete?

Dear "Tell it to Tony.... Do you do a turn, ..wheres all the flange..and whats your promble?

Blackburn away when Mellor scored...Sheer mentalistic support...One of my favourite away days....Just a mass of heaving Wednesday fans when that went in...

God!!..I just had a vision of you wearin' a cheerleaders skirt....flailing pom poms an' starin' at chutney

Mate..If there had been "Owlstalk" in the 70's...It would have been a daily meltdown... all you had was "Tell it to Tony" and you really couldn't post "Dear Tony..that was f.ookin' dogsh*te!!!!" You got an answer in a fortnight....

Might have a point there Hooksy

And there you have it...from a source that usually either takes the p*ss..or flies off at the most unlikely tangents... Total understanding of what its about...The hope...The theatre...the absolute 40 years of 3 ring circus...then suddenly...A shaft of sunlight. To watch The Wednesday...and to treat it as solely a "Football club" is an inch offa stupid...cos Wednesday are not that ...(Especially last Saturday) You see them as "Theatre" of "Life" of what actually f.ookin' happens! During the years its a f.ookin' circus...enjoy the f.ookin' circus....slapstick crap, that is funny in hindsight, and absolutely infuriating in a contemporary sense Then you have the whole Shakespearian crap of hoping that F.ookin' Macbeth ends up winning...when in actuality he gets totally f.ooked! I have sat in Hillsborough...and laughed as we lose...I have been all over the country and howled as the left back passes it across to our centre half, who chips it over our goalkeepers head...I have seen Leon Clarke wearing gloves and a bloody "Snood" try an overhead kick, volley it into his own sodding face and then spin 3 times widdershins, looking for a ball he just passed into his own f.ookin' face!!!! And i've laughed...and a Wednesday fan has asked "Why are you laughin'?" And I've said "Why aren't you!!!"? Cos its theatre...its funny, its sad...Its Sheffield Wednesday!!!..Its what Sheffield Wednesday do Embrace the bloody thing

Yea but...That...for him, must be like having a kickabout in his back garden with the kids...His heart ain' gonna be in it...

Yep...reckon I have..... If its Saturday...Its Wednesday....Ive always supported the club cos I've wanted to..I've always gone to games cos I wanted to....I went several seasons in the 70's without missing home and away...when we were terrible...cos I wanted to. It goes beyond football for me....I remember changing jobs, where I had to work shifts...couldn't get to some games at home, and couldn't afford a season ticket..I felt guilty..So i sometimes bought a ticket to simply pay me money in without actually being able to make it...Thats how I see Wednesday...I still wanted to play a little part in it. These days...I have a choice...I can afford a season ticket...Me lad can't...So I buy his season ticket..means I can't get to away games...purely financial...cos away games with Wednesday are great. Thats not "being a loyal fan" ..or "Wearing a hair shirt"..Thats...simply because I enjoy going with my son...It also means he gets to the odd away game. To me..Sheffield Wednesday are simply an extension of my family...nowhere near as important...but pretty high up on my list of priorities..that could change..if it does...I will Until then...I'll simply carry on going ...but I won't expect a pat on the back for doin' it

Happy to help...Thats why I'm a famous fictional detective and you aren't..............................Oh hang on.........
