frastheowl Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Absolutely superb opening post. This is what makes Sheffield Wednesday fans unique. Special. For the majority of the time, we are like the rest... fickle, hard to please, pessimistic. For the majority of the time, we'll argue with others, get irate because someone rates a player you don't. But, nights, occasions, like tonight, is what differentiates us. Tonight, we will be as one. Every single one of us in that stadium, will back the players 100% of the time, whether things are going our way or not. We'll roar them on, we'll suck that ball into the back of the net. As we did this time last season, as we did against Arsenal, against Cardiff last season, and Newcastle and Derby this. As we did, when things didn't go our way at Wembley last season. That reception we gave those players, after, on reflection, a pretty ordinary performance, following the Playoff Final defeat, will still resonate with those players. Yes, nights against Brighton are what people remember, but I reckon those players and staff, won't have forgotten that reception they received at Wembley. Tonight's the night...I'm beginning to feel nervous (first time all week), but I'm going to enjoy it...regardless of result. If it doesn't go our way, we'll go again, just like we did this season. We're All Wednesday Aren't We?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll still go on the wee wee with our mates. We'll still win admirers all around the country. We'll still sell out away ends. We'll still have a load of fun. The players and Carlos know that tonight they will be backed to the hilt. Go out and enjoy it lads, the pressure is off, because...
