I'm with you, but I work with loads of Norwich fans and they're desperate to play them at Wembley. They've got some crazy record like it's 15 years since they last lost to them so as far as they're concerned beating them is a formality 🤔

Crikey the inbreeding is really clouding their judgement there. The prospect of even playing the other lot next season leaves me with anxiety ne'r mind such a huge game.

Well done again Holmesfield! 🤣

You have certainly got the gig next week. Even if you don't put "fat lady sings" or "mathematical certainty" into the thread title my first post will.

The Norwich fans are certainly taking it seriously, they want 5th, a "fuck up" from Ipswich putting them into third and to beat them in the play off final at Wembley. 

I mean I get the logic but the play offs are such a lottery that picking and choosing who you would like to play is a high guarantee of being bitten on the arse

We certainly had the momentum after the play off first leg last season 

That sort of proves a point, then the 2nd leg de-bunked history for sure

Hopefully Norwich conceding 2 yesterday v Swansea who have nothing to play for and Leeds and West Brom conceding 7 between them v bottom clubs should be enough of a warning that a 7 goal swing is possible if they don't take next week seriously. Especially with Hull having scoring 3 v Ipswich.

All we need is one of Hull or Norwich to take it seriously and we're golden.

 

As we know a vital ingredient of play off success is our favourite term momentum. 

Whichever of Ipswich or Leeds fail on the last day will be hard to rally, Southampton seem to have hit the rails, the stats don't favour a team finishing 5th or 6th but you can see that happening this season. 

That was attention seeking by the parent at its worst. 

My main observation from that video is how Chansiri seems to have aged. I mean I always joke about my real age being 20 years lower than my Wednesday age - being owner must be exponential.

I actually think it would be good for his wellbeing if he can pass on the Club

Anyway 11 too many !

Yep it is 11 - I always forget that the first time back in the early 2000's was only 2 seasons. Just felt like 3 !

"Only" been in tier 3 for 11 seasons ant we?

I will happily stand corrected, it was a quick tally in my head

5 between 75/76 to 79/80 for sure

Then I try and blank the rest

The father claiming assault winds me up! DC is accused of arrogance - er he’s happily standing for a picture with a young supporter. 
 

DC & family have been threatened with violence for 9 month by people who sing that song - he’s a 100% right to want to create a distance between him and someone singing that song next to his face. He at that stage does not know what could happen- security is there for a reason.

We are on the cusp of a new beginning - and thanks to the protests it could scupper that.

 

The Wednesday way for me is all about ourselves being our own biggest enemy! 

 

I have been critical of Chansiri's actions at times, but there is a line between that and making it personal. Indeed I have always said I would love to have a 30 minute chat with him, put a view across, listen to his reply, understand what motivates him. People can't distinguish it seems between disagreeing with someone you have to hate them. 

My biggest gripe of modern society that reasoned debate simply does not arise

The day phones got video capability was the day society went to shit.

Cant imagine someone lugging a camcorder to the ground to insult Dave Richards then playing the video out of his front window for people to see.

 

I just think people are pricks. I had one on the M1 - coming out a 50 mph zone, traffic all bunched, flashes headlights, right on the bumper, for a mile or so. Eventually when safe I just move over, but with the middle finger scratching my nose gesture. I get the full on window down wanker treatment from the passenger who then decides to try and spit. Not a great idea at 70 mph mate. Said car unsurprisingly then sits behind the queue of traffic, then decides to weave for a few miles.

A day for it, heading down Burncross Road post game, 3 lads on mountain bikes just weaving about the road, one on the wrong side. Just suggested the prick get off the road, the only pity was the discussion was brief as a further 5 seconds the car travelling up the road would have nailed him.

I probably get more annoyed that I react to these arsewipes

Right there, in a 9 second clip we show you what is fundamentally wrong with this country. A so called father sets his son up to insult someone, videos it, takes to social media in an attempt to drop the Chairman in the shit. The father thinks he's some sort of hero for doing so as well. I honestly can't get my head around how stupid this bloke is.

 

The strangely quiet protest group will no doubt add that to the list of crimes "Chansiri lashed out at young fan" 

The rest of us think he got away with just a shove as opposed to one between the eyes. Same for that prick with the corner flag, there was some kid following him, if it was his then be hopes social services are lurking.

What kind of father does that?

Imagine bringing your son up to think that's acceptable and then being thick enough to put it all online.

This has really irked me

Fucking disgusting 

Totally agree. It's called respect and sadly far too many people have zero understanding of what that means

Danny R and I share a birthday tomorrow, albeit 52 years apart, and today's result (and PERFORMANCE) will keep the silly grin on my face even if I don't get any presents.

Happy Anniversary MK and Tank!  Let's hope you're both celebrating after the match.

Just a thought, MK: "the ups and the many downs."  Promotion and relegation-wise, there's only actually been one extra of the latter.  (I know you weren't actually being that literal. There's a lot more to Wednesday supporting than just specifically that and we do seem to have collected a hell of a lot of misery along the way.)  Let's all hope for two weekends of celebrating to end this season, and reason to look forward with anticipation. UTO!  

Oh, and MHR, MK. 👍

I think as we were in Tier 2 and currently are the actual ups and downs must even out - where is an accountant when you need one !

Not fully verified but my quick calc is 

14 seasons in the top flight

12 in tier 3

24 in tier 2

I mean 50 years is a large sample period and that suggests our level is The Championship. 

24 seasons and counting not in the top division is pretty damning

When you really think about it football is weird.

Lets face it this season has been shit and we sell out the last home game hoping that we finish above at least 3 other shit teams and nothing is decided today 🤦‍♀️

I will not celebrate just staying up like a promotion it’s embarrassing.

* up at 6 cos I forgot to wash my lucky shirt 😘

I suppose from where we were it will be a good achievement, that deserves recognition. But I concur celebrating being the 4th shittest club in your League is not champagne popping.

I enjoyed the play off win last year, because you have to take the highs when you can, but deep down it's still we are only going back to the 2nd tier.

Why I still get angry at our meek efforts v Hull in that final. 

The disappointment is really not being able to fully enjoy Leeds falling apart - but I am getting there 

I mean it's a good job we weren't 100% reliant on QPR losing, they were the ones most likely to escape but I don't think anyone expected them to inflict Leeds biggest defeat of the season.

I can see Stoke winning at Southampton. Blackburn will get a reaction v Coventry - who have hit the wall.

And Plymouth winning at Millwall, least likely but would it surprise you

If we needed any reminder at all that we cannot rely on results elsewhere then Leeds getting hit for 4 is it. 

100% this - if it could happen in this league it probably will. 

It's the fact Leicester get promotion, after winning the title in the past, by their rivals fucking up in West London 

Well 1 team we ain't catching 

But they have totally dominated a very poor Leeds 

How shit are Leeds
