the season starts tomorrow and apart from Campbell Rice i dont think Barnsley have too much to worry us . we have a stronger squad than last season ,which is helped by the fact we arnt a selling club ,and can keep our best players ,a position some other clubs dont have the luxery of being able to do .
its for that reason i feel a 3-1 win tomorrow

I reckon Wednesday have strengthened considerably this year, with the 'signings' of Sodje and Simek, amongst others, and I suspect United have weakened slightly in the close season, so we should get a bit closer to them, on the pitch at least. Hopefully, (with everything crossed) off the pitch as well.
The very best of luck to Wednesday this season, I hope we stay clear of any lengthy injuries, and the team prove on the pitch, that Laws is indeed, a 'very good manager'.
A cash injection either arrives, or it doesn't. Whatever happens, we'll be reight, we always are! :thumbsup:
Early results often bring in some shock scores, but I don't think this will be one of 'em ..... 2-0 Wednesday.
(See, almost no mention of S2 at all ........ I resisted it ..... simples! :thumbsup:

Nice few digs there Mr Bean.
The reason you aren't a selling club is coz you only have 2 players anyone is interested in.

Hope because of your silly post the Dingles stuff you like last season

and didn't Sodje have to limp off after about 20 mins?

Bearing in mind Barnsley worked you out last season, and there's not the pressure of relegation on them going into tomorrow, i'm surprised at some of the overconfident predictions so far...

I expect a scrappy, dirty 1-1 tomorrow.

Don't forget we want a report on the free pies tomorrow too :)

I'm doing my usual 400 mile round trip from Eyemouth to see the lads so I hope (and expect) they'll do the job and pay a bit off my season ticket satisfaction bill.

how do you know so much about barnsley ? you dont even watch wednesday :rolleyes:
as for not selling players its not the end off august yet

Come on wednesday !!!!!!!

2-0 wednesday... (fingers crossed) remember the barnsley lads did the double last season...

I can't wait to hear that Hillsborough roar again, common boys 3-1 with a Spurr screamer from 30yrds is what im feeling! Barmy Army!

only a few tickets left according to swfc website, 1000 on kop and grand stand and 500 on south....

As a blade it's hard for me to say this but i can see wednesday turning the dingles over 3 to 4 nil, if i were laws i'd tell the players to shoot whenever they can, they sold that muller keeper, luke steele aint that good so i'd pepper him with shots.

Muller was their best player by far ,their definatly weaker in his absense.
one of the tallest keepers i can remember

only a few tickets left according to swfc website, 1000 on kop and grand stand and 500 on south....

think we're looking at about 32,000

All i can say is come on wednesday lets get our heads down and make the difference this season!
Im going wednesday 3-1 barnsley
lets av it!!!!!!!!!!

Better get off now then!!!

Reckon Barnsley will nick it 1-0, ending the "good feeling" around Hillsborough :) ..............

1-0 Johnson after 9 minutes. Laws has targetted top six apparently, according to Sky Sports.

2-0 my prediction of a turn over looks like it might be right.

(Just like to add that Norwich are 5-0 down at home to Colchester after 38 mins!! Surely not another relegation season?!?)

Reckon Barnsley will nick it 1-0, ending the "good feeling" around Hillsborough :) ..............

in your face blunt :D

2-1 now, come on you dingles

in your face blunt :D

2-2 now...oops! Barnsley deserve it according to the Sky reporter...

Makes for a nervous finish now anyway!

I have to say that I'm amazed. Barnsley are the team I would pick first for relegation. Barnsley are 'in complete control' according to Sky Sports. Still, I still think you can't tell anything on the first day of the season.

I'm disappointed but not surprised. Owls are shocking at holding onto a lead. :( Same old same old.

2 nillllll and you f***ed it up 2 nillllllll

all over, threw away a two goal lead... :)

Oh how we laughed!!!

:) Reminder for CORKERSWFC change your signiture:)

Well united are 1 point up on this stage last season, the Owls 2 points down.

Good gate at Hillsbrough the next home gate will be interesting!

2 home points droped ! Oh dear!!

What will mr Benny make of that ?

well done super reds..could have won it..great comeback

Looks like only three winners in the division - Cardiff, Leicester and Derby... the rest draws!

sheffield wednesday fxxxxd it up again

I'll go for 4-1 to Wednesday a repeat scoreline of last seasons opener would be sweet lol.

glad you dont do my fixed odds coupon on a saturday:hihi:

Wednesday played excellent football, and were like Real Madrid in the first half, according to Laws... sounds like they defended like Real Madrid in the second though :hihi:

So Wednesday lost a lead, but united failed to score. At least Wednesday managed to score, but at least United managed a clean sheet. We both have the same points and the same goal difference. *Sigh* Come back when when we've lost and you've won. I'm sure it won't be too long. ;)

superb in first half -should have had 4. second half ,absulutly useless , Barnsley could have won it .

what happened at half time i dont know . Purse didnt look fit ,and was caught out a couple of times .

What you have to realise is the blades were away against a team just down from the prem, where as the fowls were against a lower championship side at home, both draws granted, but not many teams will get points at boro this season.

how do you work that out talksport didn't have you as the main game and you didn't go SSN didn't say you should have had 4 + radio sheff said you were lucky to draw in the second half ?
oh and the green un isn't out yet

I've heard that there was a lot of trouble before & after?

oh dear oh dear, i actually wanted wednesday to win the dingles, maybe they should have shut up shop after the break and if indeed thats what they did the defence is utterly useless, sweet justice to the jeering wendys in the pub last night...lol.

2-0 and ya stuffed it up...!!!

we were superd in the first half but second half the defending was shocking. every ball seemed to be getting behind the defence far too easily. i was tempted to leave after they scored the first but i never have and never will leave early. only first game though so dont want to be too tough but a striker is definately needed, jeffers was very poor again, sooner we can get him out of the team the better.
a draw was a fair result in the end but still disappointing losing a 2 goal lead but i'm used to it now:roll:

just got home from the game, although we played some brilliant passing football in attack in the first half and a lot of fans were gettin over excited with 'ole' being cheered constantly the defence looked shakey as it did in the 2nd. Granty saved 3 in the first which could easily have gone in (partially due to Macken's shocking finishing).
Second half we started off on the back foot and Purse's age caught up with him and he dropped deeper and deeper dragging Woody back with him inviting the Tykes onto us, we must learn to keep the ball better and i would love to blame the midfield but with such a massive gap between defence and midfield (in the 2nd half) Potter and O'Conner (not my fav player at the best of times) didnt stand a chance in the middle
I thought Tuggy was quiet, Jeffers looked unfit as usual and JJ was his usual eccentric, uncontrollable self!

No need to get over excited and if we play like the first half we'll be up there (once we sort out a first choice defencive partnership) but if we play liek the second we'll struggle

p.s at least none of us are Norwich fans!

agreed, the defence never really gave me any confidence all through the game and tudgay has had better games. sheme we didnt have clarke to throw on. things must be bad when you have to throw beevers on up front

tommy spurr = rubbish. Longball too many times to wee little tudders. Simply awful to watch that second half.

At least your not crowing that you should have had 4 (benny)

tommy spurr = rubbish. Longball too many times to wee little tudders. Simply awful to watch that second half.

thought spurr played ok in first - that gippo had him in the 2nd tho

I thought johnson was awful, he cant tackle, cannot remember him taking a player on and apart from goal, did absolutely nothing. Laws decision to take jeffers off n leave johnson on has baffled me. i dont know how you can say he was poor, he made all the right runs and picked some good passes out, he was definitely one of our better players

1st half i couldn't fault anyone. Different team came out for the second.

1st half i couldn't fault anyone. Different team came out for the second.

Yeah totally agree. We were poor at defending set pieces in the first half and this should have been flagged at half time and sorted out.
As soon as the second half started we looked poor at the back. We were second to everything, Wood was getting pushed off the ball too easily, Purse seemed more concerned with shouting at other people than sort out his own problems.
They weren't talking to each other in the second half, how many times did they head it back forward to the Dingles when they had time to take it down and control it. Talk to each other boys......
In all it was a good game to watch but didn't do any good for the stress levels.....

i am shocked anyone watching that game can defend Jeffers' performance, he's constantly flat footed, never aware of whats going around him and the only decent thing he did all game (apart from hurry up and bugger of the pitch!) was he dropped deep ONCE and played it wide to JJ - i'd love to know which parts of his performance today impressed you

i think the difference between the two is that JJ had 3 shots on goal (i think) and scored one - i dont think Jeffers had a shot and he's meant to be a bloody striker ... and i really dont rate JJ but if he performs average and scores thats not too bad ... whereas Jeffers plays crap and never scores

i was wondering if i had been abit harsh on him but glad someone thinks the same. jj is very frustrating at times but he has scored more than what jeffers ever will at wednesday.

Jeffers link up play was good and picked some very good passes out going forward in first half. he was unlucky when he was brought down just outside box in first half, would have gone on and probably scored. and in second half made 2 dangerous runs, first one tudgays pass to him was awful, played it behind instead of in front, u cant blame jeffers for that.
Im not a jeffers lover but i think when he gets a goal or 2 the confidence will come. it just gets to me that people slag him off at every chance, we dont win a game and everyone has knives out for him, he is the first name on peoples lips when things dont go right
And johnson didnt play average, he was shocking

I thought the midfield did well today, front two were poor with Tudgay the poorer,the defence looked very shaky when players ran at them. Grant was superb and man of match!

I have reservations about Purse and don't see how he is being picked ahead of Beevers, I'd also prefer Simek at right-back.

Overall, a good game, decent pie and a fair result!

how do you work that out talksport didn't have you as the main game and you didn't go SSN didn't say you should have had 4 + radio sheff said you were lucky to draw in the second half ?

It doesn't sound like he was listening to the same game, as the rest of us, never mind attending it.

Sounds like Jeffers is just the easy scapegoat for the owls fans, just as Quinn is for us (even when he put in a lot more work and caused more problems than Treacy, France or Howard) - early days though, and sounds like your lads were about as fit as some of our last night!

One of the Barnsley fans (or maybe even Davey) said on RS that Barnsley looked physically much stronger and fitter than you in the second half, is that fair?

In hindsight, it's probably not a bad thing what's happened today, a few owls fans were starting to get a bit too carried away with their prospects for the season - a reality check of the problems you've still got to address isn't a bad thing early on (as ours is to add more flair and pace to the solid defence away from home). Still, it's a point more against Barnsley than you got in two games last season, so that's a bonus :)

we got what we deserved, again we went ahead anf then got complacent and started punting the ball in the air at every opertunity, the dodgy ref and lines man didnt help as on more than one occasion the dingles were clearly offsidr one of them resulting in a superb save from grant. i think jeffers would br a better midfielder than some we have now, he can hold the ball, pick the pass maybe its time for a change francis. Felt like chinning the ref near the end when he was blowing for everything...tudders wasnt in the game, purse clearly needs another half a yard in pace, some of spurrs decisions were questionable...only saving grace for me was grant MOTM in my opinion

Who was alongside Purse, was it Wood? I'd have thought that with the lack of pace they both suffer from, you'd have Beevers with Purse, as he can get back to cover?

As for the ref, get used to it, it's not like they're going to improve!

yes it was wood, dont know what laws was thinking, maybe he's trying to ease beevers in this season as last season he burnt out 3 quarters through the season.

Wednesday had a good spell of posession football in the first half, Gray was lively down the right side, but we missed having a big man up front, Barnsley actually created the more clear chances, knocking the ball up through the middle caused us a few problems and but for Grant saving would have had 2 goals in the first half themselves. Fair result, but we need more punch up front and tighter defending than we had today.
UTO

How long are Sodje/Clarke expected to be out? I heard Laws saying he's hoping to get someone in during the week, but he's competing with another club for the player.

think we need a sheridan type player in midfield, someone to hold the ball, slow the pace a little and think a little more before making the killer pass.

sodje is a few weeks away i think according to press and clark was supposed to be playing today

i tell you what, im glad i didnt go lol, ive been to one too many games where weve thrown away a 2 goal lead! absolutely shocking, throwing away such a lead against barnsley!

I think both teams have learnt a great deal in the opening fixtures to be honest, I mean ok The Owls have messed it up a bit by wasting a two goal lead, however if you lot are to take anything out of the fixture it has to be the fact that you started the season by scoring two goals which can't be grumbled at, I mean obviously your negatives are there as you pointed out but with it being the first game of the season i'm sure you have to look at it that way and hope that lessons are learnt from what happened today.

I mean United have also learnt a great deal in their opener, In my opinion we played far too negative, allthough we could have won in theory we play to draw at times and it's simply not good enough, as what Blackwell usually sees as a point well earnt, us the fans usually see it as 2 points dropped through lack of ambition, which is right on the button!

Either way United gave me many a positive sign last night, take away the negatives and call them learning curves and overall we can hope to build on it and do well this season, which i'm sure is the same for the Owls??

i tell you what, im glad i didnt go lol, ive been to one too many games where weve thrown away a 2 goal lead! absolutely shocking, throwing away such a lead against barnsley!


saying that though pal, we went one better than last season against them

think we need a sheridan type player in midfield, someone to hold the ball, slow the pace a little and think a little more before making the killer pass.

I couldn't agree more, just someone to put their foot on the ball and find the intricate little pass to create the chances.

I wonder if Gray could do that role!

i think jeffers could do do the midfield role, he is composed on the ball and can make telling passes, plus there'd be no pressure on him to score....and to all the owls who think todays result was bad......think again at least we dont support norwich hee hee

2-0 wednesday... (fingers crossed) remember the barnsley lads did the double last season...well at least i got the score for the first half right...:rolleyes: who the hell changed the team at half time, what a game of 2 halfs... barnsley could have/should have won the game easy in the 2nd half we were awful at the back.

all credit to the reds for diggin in and getting a point.

No fighting down Hillsborough, in the pubs, then tonight ? :roll:

Very very disapointed tonight, throwing away leads like that in the first or last games is just pure crap.

Shocking 2nd half,thought Spurr and Purse were awfull at the back,JJ usual inconsistant,Tudders got no service,but hey we lost this one last year so we're better off and above our neighbours.

Of course you are 1 game played 1 point against a team that is the bookies fav to go down
Against 1 game played 1 point against a team that is the bookies fav to go up great result for you is this moment your cup final

A certain Owls poster constantly talks about the Blades "bottling" games.
I was a little unsure of what he meant at first but it becomes a little clearer now.
Does it mean that you chuck away a 2 goal lead at home to a tipped for relegation opponent. ? :hihi::hihi::hihi:

Purses defending at times was pathetic, he won the ball in the air granted, where is Hinds?

Purses defending at times was pathetic

:hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:
Wheres the thread about Purse and Beevers being a better pairing than Morgs and Killa :D

No it means losing to a team who finished below you in the league and who we thumped 8 past in 2 games and cocking up the chance of millions from the prem
Drawing at home against a team we lost to last season is hardly bottling it is it
Think About It

A game of 2 halves is an overused phrase bet **** me it was today,frigg knows what Laws said to the lads at half time but he needs to change his team talk
I was glad to walk away with a point

Tinything -- 4 of those 8 goals you mention at the Sty were against Diego Penny , Now i know a little bit about football but had never heard of this goalie :D

Drawing at home against a team you lost to last season has nothing to do with this match.... Players come and go.
Barnsley are lucky they are in this division this season they very nearly went down, you were up 2-0 you bottled it BIGTIME.
Not good enough for a team Flaws thinks will be pushing for a play-off spot

the season starts tomorrow and apart from Campbell Rice i dont think Barnsley have too much to worry us . we have a stronger squad than last season ,which is helped by the fact we arnt a selling club ,and can keep our best players ,a position some other clubs dont have the luxery of being able to do .
its for that reason i feel a 3-1 win tomorrow

I feel you will get off to a fast start and then BOTTLE IT :hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:

Didnt see Wednesday throwing that lead away.

Didnt see Wednesday throwing that lead away.

neither did i until 30secs into the 2nd half!!!

But cant defend

But cant defend

Id rather not be able to defend very good but be attractive going forward rather than lumping it up to some cart horse and expecting him to hold it up against 4 defenders.

Well we were playing away, you obviously know jack shxt about football if you think you go away and play attacking football. Or are you going to tell me Wednesday will go there and play 4-3-3. We will be a lot more attacking at home. You have to also put into the equation we were playing an ex premiership team, where as you were play the might of Barnsley

My knowledge of football is as good as any1s on here pal.
Even your own manager said he went to Boro to give them a game, but you scored zero goals.
Oh and by the way we go away and go for it hence the big away results we have had in recent times.
Burnley 2 Wednesday 4 remember that by any chance??????????:)

Didn't score many in the game's where you did get unbeaten, just played 10 at the back and 1 up front, how long will the fan's put up with such negative tactics.

You can't compare games against different teams.

Now remind me which of the Sheffield teams got to the play off finals. If you are going to score plenty and concede a lot you will end up in mid table medicrity and your season ending in march like yours did. We could have gone up on the final day of the season had results gone our way

Yeah and even if you had drawn with us even once you would have gone up, like we stopped Cardiff by one goal, it was great fun :hihi:
You didn't go up, you have another season of long ball's and 1-0 game's.
Bye for now :wave:

We will also have a better chance than you lot of going up. If you are happy with mid table mediocrity and winning your cup finals against us thats fine. I know which team will be the top team in Sheffield again this season, for I dont know how many seasons running

What the bookies say means jack,Burnley last season got hammered 4-1 on the opening day to a team expected to fight relegation all season and look what happened to them.
You can't compare games against different teams.

So you don't think the Dingles are going to be in a relegation fight this season or that Boro' are liable to go up?

How many teams do you think are going to go to boro and not get beaten personaly and as do others not many also how many teams do you think are going to turn over the Dingles

benny 3-1
Rob stu 3-1
Corkers 4-1 (with a lol)
Mad owl 2-0
Ging viking 3-1
Earwiggo 2-0

Lets have a look at what Blades said before our game

Da Man Boro 1-2 Blades
CB 0-0
Scottf 1-1
Tazz 1-2

Do you think that maybe your a little over confident

no team can be judged after 1 game!!!!

you blades make middlesborough sound like man utd or something, they wont do anything this year, if they make playoffs theyve had a good season haha.

And if your survive you will have had an amazing season

Do your nurses know you have a computer be careful of the sharp edges

Going back to your post who do you think had the best result was it great that you gave up a 2-0 lead at home to the dingles or that we drew 0-0 away I know which I prefer

No Middlesboro anr no Man united< but tell me how many years they have been in the top flight recently? Now tell me how many years Barnsley have

Do your nurses know you have a computer be careful of the sharp edges

Going back to your post who do you think had the best result was it great that you gave up a 2-0 lead at home to the dingles or that we drew 0-0 away I know which I prefer

im sure i heard this exact post a few pages earlier? must be a broken record or something :huh:

in all honesty id say we had the better result, barnsley should have won and they gave us a real tough game, middlesboro had 1 shot on target all game, never looked threatening and tbh they didnt give the blades much of a game. one things for sure, i know who endured the tougher game this weekend and it was us. yes you were playing middlesboro but you have to admit they were very very poor, were you ever worried you were going to concede? no!

the scoreline suggests we had a bad result but like many people have said, it was us who stole a point of the dingles.

you blades make middlesborough sound like man utd or something, they wont do anything this year, if they make playoffs theyve had a good season haha.

that snore draw on friday will hardly have had all the other teams in the championship running for cover

Now remind me which of the Sheffield teams got to the play off finals. If you are going to score plenty and concede a lot you will end up in mid table medicrity and your season ending in march like yours did. We could have gone up on the final day of the season had results gone our way

Anybody seen a BOTTLE?
Thank God the banter is back:D

It feels real good to me when I stop hitting myself on the head with a hammer.
Must be something like that then ? :hihi::hihi::hihi:

I was bloody annoyed coming out of the match yesterday, we should never have let that lead slip, Macken's goal should easily have been prevented.

First half we played really well, our passing was superb - Stand out player - Michael Gray, but they all played well. Having said that, Barnsley ddid have some chances which Lee Grant stopped superbly.

Second half - We were awful. We kept hoofing up to Jeffers - who's never going to win a ball, nevermind against Darren Moore.

In the end it was a fair result, but we should not have let Barnsley get back into the game.

The were some postives and negative. On first half performance we can beat anyone, but if we play like we did in second half, we'll be beaten.

I'm still optimistic about this season, and it was great to be on a full Kop!

Yeah was great to see and hear the kop like yesterday.
My only critiscm of the first half was that we were poor at defending set pieces.
The first half it certainly felt like we were watching a more positive and aggressive Wednesday and was nice to see the midfield actually taking on players rather than passing it back. Apart from a couple of good pieces of work in the second half (Potter and Esajas) we seemed to go in a timewarp back 12 months :hihi:

I am happy with the positives from the game though and hope we see more of it as the season continues :)

Hehe, you can tell the new season has started.. Getting a bit fiery on here! I missed it. :hihi:

what happened at half time i dont know ,but it was like watching a different team in second half .

just a thought -Lee Hughes scored a hat trick for Notts County yesterday .
maybe he should have been wearing the blue and white instead

They took the foot off the gas thats what they did.
And got punished for it big time, and at one point we were lucky not to lose.
Again Darren Purse at time's looked very very suspect.
Id play Hinds and Wood in central defence me, Hinds hardley put a foot wrong last season.

It felt a bit like what Arsenal fans must think, we played some really good one touch football at times, but we looked awful when being attacked.

Arsenal will look even worse now after losing Eboue to Manchester City.
My heart bleed's for em lol :hihi:

In my eyes wood was suspect as he got caught numerous times at the back but also spur was targeted as they played at him down the left side everytime.
I think in the first half grey created everything but in the second half he was sniffed out by 2 of 3 barnsley players as i bet they were told to get tight on grey. I think if we can keep solid at the back and get a target man to play at the side of tudguy we will be ok. But all in all in the first half wednesday played some good passing football and it was good to see, its always good to give the barnsley fans some hassle anyways.

looking at the table and seeing all the draws that happened, i think wednesday are likely to fear middlesboro the same as they would fear a promoted team! anyone really can beat anyone, its going to be a record amount of points to stY UP AND A RECORD LOW AMOUNT of points to go up!

sorry about caps accidentle

that snore draw on friday will hardly have had all the other teams in the championship running for cover

It's a good job Norwich played or you'd be the laughing stock again

yeah, because bristol city didnt throw away a 2 goal lead either.

and swansea didnt go 1-0 up and still lose to leicster, real laughing stock :loopy:

First match of the season is no real indicator as it's the first really competitive game, except that it shows who might not be as fit as they should be. Unfortunately it sometimes shows who may struggle at this level. So still not convinced about Jeffers, we can't afford for him to be a class act 1 game out of 5. And we bought the guy as a striker, so all I expect him to do is score one goal for every 3 chances he gets. Not too much to ask is it, after all that's what we pay him for. I still trust Big Brian to get it right.

UTO

Yes you did have a tougher game than we did but 1 point away is always better than 1 point at home

BTW Shots in both games (courtesy of CB)

Middlesborough 7 ( 2 on target ) Blades 9 ( 6 0n target )

Your 11 ( 8 on target ) Dingles 10 ( 7 on target )

Not much difference

But the cock up at your place will have then running.......................................To get tickets to have a laugh at you

It's a good job Norwich played or you'd be the laughing stock again

plenty of teams lose a 2 goal lead, hardly makes us a laughing stock:loopy:
disappointed to not win after getting a 2 goal lead but its only the first game, just as utds game against boro was, plenty of time to right the wrongs

But isn't that what you're doing wait till you play Boro away and we play Dingles at home then comment

What point are you trying to hit on,all I've done is give an example as to you can't say a seson is going the way of the 1st match and you can't judge a season of you lot playing 1 team and us another.
Oh and as for the above ditto.

The point I was trying to make was untill we have played the dingles at home and you have played Boro away no one can compare how the teams will do against the same team
I agree with what you're saying but it doesn't stop your fans saying we were great but ........

while also saying by 1"I saw 1/2 the game and you were crap"

2 totally different teams 1 Ex prem who everyone expected us to get a tonkin and the other a team everyone expect to be fighting for survival who do you think will be the happiest with a point

The comment I made was for the dum one who I quoted

lets debate the issue and lose the insults please-

think we need a sheridan type player in midfield, someone to hold the ball, slow the pace a little and think a little more before making the killer pass.

Us an-all, they don't come cheap though!! :)

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but I have to pay credit where it is due, and despite the disappointing result I think an attendance of 30,644 is really good and I hope Wednesday keep it up! I'm glad the fans are coming back, it can only help your club.

there was only 3 teams that won in the division

lets debate the issue and lose the insults please-

In case you hadn't noticed I have debates with plenty of posters on here from both sides

Try posting a debate not one line throw away comments and lying then maybe people will debate with you

It seems that you go on 'I'm Bored' part of the discussion forum which uses 1 liners if its your intention to keep on with it here expect the comments

As for the lying bit I got banned for putting on here where you are doing it and had plenty of posts removed for posting parts 1 yesterday for repeating something you actually posted yourself

BTW youve still not corrected your incorrect Sig

After ive had time to reflect the only team that seems to have stuck out minus Ross McCormack aswell is Cardiff City.
They were 25/1 to win the Championship before a ball was kicked, a "monster" price, i bet it's nowhere near that now.
They were my tip for the League and i fully expect them to go mighty close this season.

I have to laugh at this post!

If there is one poster on here who struggles with well-argued topical threads that happen to be mildly critical of SUFC then it is you.

I've lost count of how many times you've asked for these type of threads to be closed!

Us an-all, they don't come cheap though!! :)

I suspect I'm still on your ignore list but I'll post my thoughts anyway!

I thought you were getting this type of player with Howard from Barnsley, he looked quality there but just doesn't seem to have delivered for you yet!

Just like we thought you were signing Purse to be the rock at the back, not a liability... Jeffers to be the fox in the box to grab a hatful of goals. Not every signing works out like we'd hope does it! Otherwise Craig Beattie would've scored a hat-trick in the POF :hihi:

I have been told about this and for your information the last one I asked to be closed was about Laws being Racist no one wants the door opened on here to racist comments or do you is that why you started it and before that about the 5th one in a week about our tickets all answered a dozen times
If you can't count above a couple then it's your fault
Try posting where the too many to count are then perhaps someone will tell me and I may come back and answer

Back to ignore

25/1? the bookies must be stupid! They were a really strong team last season and only blew up when the backlog of games caught up with them (and getting a few sent off against us didn't help!).

The big question about Cardiff was how they'd adapt to their new stadium, as that can affect home teams... looks like they're settled in ok after yesterday!

i was well happy with that result -ive got Chopra in my championship team in Corkers league on here

did mcormack not play corker? if not then that was a waste of money in the fantasy league lol

did mcormack not play corker? if not then that was a waste of money in the fantasy league lol
Infact i tell a lie he did play, i presumed he didn't with Bothroyd starting.
Dangerous strike force all 3 of them all at once lol.

that front 3 will take some stopping this season . as long as the goals are scored by chopra im happy

I feel you will get off to a fast start and then BOTTLE IT :hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:

Ey up CB :thumbsup:

Another season, another typical Wednesday performance. Magic first half and dire in the second. C'mon Owls, it's the first game of the season and as everyone knows, the first couple of games are always a mixture of silly results. If Lawsy can get it into the players heads to play like they did in the first half for a full 90 minutes we should do ok this season.

That's been a major problem for Wednesday though, especially over the last few years - we only play well for half a game.

Anyone any idea's who this premiership striker is we're trying to get?.. supposed to be a few other clubs interested in him too so we probably wont get him.

no idea but i'll put money on him being a nobody striker! similar to the likes of ben sahar, theyll be loads of hype about a prem striker and it will turn out to be a youngster or something. hopefully it would turn out to be another kenwyne jones

That's been a major problem for Wednesday though, especially over the last few years - we only play well for half a game.

And our nightmare lead is 2-0

I've lost count of the number of games we have ended up drawing or losing from that position

Well my thoughts on the game are this, although we were good in the first half we could have conceded a couple if it wasn`t for 2 great saves from Lee Grant! every time we went on the attack in the 1st we looked like we could score! second half was awful!we didn`t seem to know what to do with the lead we had!We just ended dropping back and defending for most of the half!and Jeffers was awful!as soon as he came off for Esajas with like 5 mins left we looked a better attacking wise!

:) Reminder for CORKERSWFC change your signiture:)

Well united are 1 point up on this stage last season, the Owls 2 points down.

Good gate at Hillsbrough the next home gate will be interesting!

2 home points droped ! Oh dear!!

What will mr Benny make of that ?

That's one way of looking at it, another is to say that we're actually a point up on last season, as we lost to the dingles at home.

Onwards and upwards i say, let's forget the Barnsley game sweep it under the carpet and concentrate on getting 3 points against Peterborough at the weekend.:):):)

by all acounts they played well at Derby at the weekend -be a tricky one ,with it being their first home game as well

I still feel we have the quality with the like's of Johnson, Gray if he plays like he did in the first half for a full game, Tudgay who can only get better he was a bit anoynomous on Saturday in all honesty.
I would like to see Hind's back and Purse dropped, the two time's i have seen him in a Wednesday shirt he has looked very rusty indeed.
I must say that Lewis Buxton has come leaps and bounds, i didn't like him when he first came but he's showing to be a very consistant player who doesn't get the credit he deserves, also Oconner looked pretty solid at the weekend for a change.
Id like to see Luke Boden given a chance tommorow alongside Tudgay.
And i hear Tommy Miller is making his debut tommorow night.
Should be a good un :)

You know me lol.
Have you seen the "were you born in Sheffield" thread, never seen owt like it over 300 people have voted on that lol.:hihi:

Purses defending at times was pathetic, he won the ball in the air granted, where is Hinds?

He's not where he should be. He was our best defensive player by miles last season.
Good attitude..... everything.

I said on signing him that Gray would improve Wednesday no end this season. The lad oozes class. Nobody to touch him at Hillsborough. Shame we can't accommodate Hinds, Buxton, Beevers, Simek, and Spurr in the side.
Jeffers shows classy touches, and awareness. I can't understand why he's not getting in to more threatening positions. JJ is all promise, I'm afraid. The five minutes he does do the good things, he's a cracker! Five minutes is no good though. We're all guilty of blaming the centre halves for leaking the goals, but we must be one of the worlds worst teams at allowing crosses to come in. We don't show enough urgency on our 20 yard line, and that puts far too much pressure on our back four.
We just don't cut out the supply well enough, and it's inevitable that teams can, and do hit back against us far too often. We have to attack the ball, the legs, the headers, in a demented fashion, like the Blades do, to stop being so flippin easy at the back.
AND IF I HEAR THE PHRASE 'we'll learn from our mistakes' just one more time, I'll scream.
The England cricket team, and Brian Laws have been using it for years and years and years.
I'm sorry Strauss and Laws ...... YOU'RE NOT LEARNING VERY MUCH FROM 'IT'.
