is it just me that thinks 600 x [say] £4.50 a pint = £2,700?  Donate that to the hospice and then raffle off the shirt to add to it. Just seems odd to me

Leaves out the 'thank you to the fans' bit, though.  

Get in!

To be fair, they did bitch away the 'second group stage' from the Champions League a few years* back.  

**looks it up** 

*er, 21 of 'em, apparently.  😕  Crikey, where does it go?

I know it was L**ds but they had two blatant hand ball penalties not given

i know it was L**ds but making such deadful mistakes at the top of the table could cost a team tens of millions of pounds by not going up 

I rest my case.

... You celebrated like fuck immediately the ball hit the back of the net. Not waited 5 mins  ...

 

This is the thing that infuriates me most about VAR.  A quick look at the linesman, and if the flag's not up, you celebrate (or rage, depending on who's scored).  The fact that VAR has denied (in every instance, because you never know if it's going to be disallowed) this (you'd think) critical aspect of the culture of the game without massive dissatisfaction/dissent blows my mind.  A bad call on every 50th (or whatever - the percentage is small) goal scored is, to me, far more tolerable than this intrusion into every damn one.  

And they still don't get 'em all right.  I hate VAR so, so much.  

Full-time at St Andrew's.  0-1 to Cardiff.  Solid results tonight. 

Happy birthday, Southy.  Have a great one, mate. 👍

Nike and Adidas taking very different approaches, here, eh?

... we've too much to do and we're going down.

One point off safety with only seven games left.  It seems 'mission impossible'.  Has it ever been done?

That might actually kill off a bunch of Tr*mp supporters so I'm all for it. 

Just the opposite, I'm afraid.  It would strengthen them, precisely because they'll be the first ones to come right out and say "fuck that shit right off".  

I loathe Trump, for what it's worth, but this is a perfect example of how/why he gets traction.

... The players and management team will feel amazing after that achievement. The fans will be behind the club and ... the place will be rocking. Everyone would go into the summer in a positive mood ...
 

 

I'm not saying that's wrong - in fact, I'm sure it's right ... but somehow it doesn't quite resonate like it would have, say, a year ago.

Hollie was there tonight ... 

I'm not 100% sure why, but that is absolutely awesome.  

RIP Beastie.  

I really like that Mick Marston animation.  It looks like Beastie trying to make his way out of the car park.  

Seconded.

Whilst we're on stats, the last 18 year-old to score for Wednesday was...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ross Barkley, 22nd Sept. 2012 in a 2-1 home defeat to Bolton.

Bailey Cadamarteri is the 12th youngest ever to score for us (according to Transfermarkt)

Penalty.  Saw it, as well as a 1-3 loss to Huddersfield the Wednesday prior.  Pretty shite footy trip, that one.

C'mon, man.  

Let's hope you never find out.  I fear you've set yourself up for disappointment, there.  

My first time up to Sheffield, it was Beastie who said, 'get up to the Travs, get a pint in, and we'll show you around'.  Hillsborough might've just been another box ticked (like so many other English footy grounds) for me, but sixteen (wow) years on, and I've been back how many times?, and probably got more mates at Wednesday (including Beastie, obvs) than I do at 'my own' club, if I'm honest.  

All because Beastie won't just leave it at 'hi mate'.  He's as 'engaging' a fellow as I've ever met. 

It's a reyt wrench, this.  

Get in!

... If we're still adrift after Huddersfield then Chansiri has to pull the trigger, but it'll be costly as Munoz brought a full back room with him ... 

I don't know enough about what Xisco/staff earn, what a credible replacement(s) might cost, or how exorbitant Moore's demands were, to figure it out, so I'll just ask:  

If Chansiri ends up needing to make a change, will he be looking at comparable costs to what retaining Moore and his staff would have entailed?  I'm inclined to suspect not - as Moore was apparently asking for so much - but, again, know too little to presume.  

I'm not trying to weigh in on who's the 'bad guy', here - I have no trouble finding pros and cons for both.  So I'm not trying to stir shit, here, I'm just curious.  Anyone got an educated guess?

Henderson broke his silence and said he moved for the challenge and not the money. That he understands the LGBTQ+ community stance surrounding his move but he's disheartened by it. 

 

He's trotted out the old 'positive influence from within' rationalization, as well.  Which is hilarious, if actually given a moment's thought.
