Eg. This article about Ranieri has no need to mention us - yet there we are https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/feb/25/claudio-ranieris-leicester-exit-a-tale-of-deceit-and-discourtesy?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+main+NEW+H+categories&utm_term=215024&subid=17576164&CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2 and if I listen to most UK televised games there is some reference to our club in every commentary. Everyones cringing for you here mate. I'd edit it if I was you, just delete it, most haven't been on today, so you might get away with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BECKS-TO-BUD Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) It's just the stadium that's holding us back at the moment,if it was like old Trafford we would sell out every match no problem,so if man u are the biggest in the world now,well it would be us,and with our fan base in the far east estimated at 1.1 billion.

SupremeOwl Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Clive Tydesley on it certain has a love in with us. Most England matches I hear a mention from him about us. And I remember jonathan pearce mentioning the donny owls flag at the Germany vs Ukraine game in the euros. All random but nice little easter eggs when your fed up of watching England getting beaten by the cook islands or whatever. Either that or I'm imagining things.

Animis Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 This is clearly the same for every fan of every club - there was a Hereford fan who use to post on here updating us on their plight. He loved his club but also critical of what was going on. Supporting a club is like having kids; it's unconditional and when they do summat wrong it hurts and you sometimes react irrationally. WAWAW - keep the faith and we'll be alreyt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ron's Sovereign Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Interesting bit in the OP article. FA Cup, League Cup and Premier League managers from last season have all been sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shaded the first half and scored our only chance, you shaded the second half and missed your only chance. Not a game that will live long in the memory tbh. What I would say is your players appear to be buckling under the pressure of expectation and as we approach the business end of the season, that's not a good thing to be happening. We, on the other hand, are over achieving to expectations and the pressure on the players is less. Norwich is a huge game, mentally and points wise for you guys.

I think that was actually the worst televised Yorkshire "derby" between the two of us that Sky have shown in recent memory. Usually the ones at Elland Road are complete snooze fests, but Saturday's match really was a flat, tepid affair for the most part. Not a great game of football but you lot got the 3pts which is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinaOwl Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I would certainly guess that the word "Wednesday" is used and quoted more times in the use of the English language on a global scale than any other word that appears in the name of any other club in the world. Disclaimer: Queen of the South has both "of" and "the" which probably throws my argument completely out of the water. There are probably more that do as well.

Big Ron's Sovereign Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Aren't we one of the highest for tinternet views or summat like that?

SiJ Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I actually might write a letter to Sky. Quote Dear BSkyB, Please stop showing Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds United matches. As much as you've tried in the last few years it really isn't much of a "derby" and the games are usually about as interesting as watching someone creosote a fence. In fact I'd rather you broadcast the international creosoting championships next time. Even when the two teams are battling for a promotion/play off places we can't produce anything but an absolute snooze fest.
