oldtawnyowl Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 On holiday in hot and sunny Turkey at present. (Holiday boast over). Having a drink at the bar the barman noticed the badge on my T-Shirt and asked "which football team is that", Sheffield Wednesday I replied. He looked a little puzzled at this, muttered "Sheffield Wednesday? - Sheffield Wednesday? .........Ahhh! Sheffield Wednesday! "England Champions League, yes?" ENGLAND CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!! Sounds so much better than the championship dunnit? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 To be fair it is a league of champions - there are 8 clubs in the division who have previously been champions of their country. Last season there were 10. I bet there isn't another second tier in any other professional league in the world that can say the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcock dived Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) That might have been my doing; i'm slowly trying to convert 17 million Istanbulites into Wednesdayites. One district at a time! Teaching english makes it easier - first lesson: "Ok class, lets make a sentence with 'We're all.... Aren't we" multiple choice a: Wednesday b: Wednesday or c: Wednesday (for business english i add a fourth option d: unable to mention Wednesday due to trademarking laws and impending legal action") Edited September 27, 2019 by alcock dived 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how big Turkey is. It's BIG! About three times the size of England, so the chances of you picking the same bar is pretty remote.

Never been before, I always thought Turkey was a bird we eat at Christmas, staying at a place called Altinkum if this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
