Bakinson? He was just a shit peg. Hopefully there’s a bone idle twat hole at Charlton that will suit him just fine.

DR should have used his subs sooner, was saying so at the time. But we could have been 3-0 up after 20 minutes. Only found out about Bristol’s equaliser by reading about it on here. The thinnest of silver linings.

Really? Looked nailed on (with VAR) to me from the North Stand. Not saying I expected us to get it, just saying Arsenal or Liverpool would have.

Nope.

Great servant to the club and a good lad, but not a legend. Shezza is legend. Sir Roland is a legend. Weaver is just a fan who played for his team and was okay.

The guy who during a fiery Madrid derby told Mourinho “I’m not Tito - I’ll rip your head off”. Simeone’s number two. 🤣

Did you go to Birkdale? Plenty of love off the head boy?

I missed that. Nobody who was a real Wednesday fan, however fair weather, would ever use that fucking word to describe us. Unbelievable.

Four points from the first two of those games. That post has aged well. 🤨

Stay up and we are the top side in Sheffield all Summer…

Brilliant night’s results for us. Apart from everything else, our next two opponents getting beat 3-0 and 5-0 by teams with little to play for suggests they are not in great shape. Added to us having a day’s rest more than Stoke, it presents our best opportunity yet to get out of the bottom three. Get it fucking done Wednesday. Let’s have a day out at the Stadium of Light knowing we’re already safe.

This constant droning on about playing out from the back from the bloody commentators is driving me nuts. As another poster just mentioned the first goal came from a throw in that was defended abysmally. Just because you make one mistake doesn’t mean you’ve got to keep making them. And just because one guy drops a massive bollock doesn’t mean everyone needs to join in. We need to be mentally stronger. As soon as it goes wrong playing out from defence it’s like everybody goes to pieces psychologically.

I’ve said it before. The Blades are our rivals. The Millers are our retarded stalkers.

West Brom will be guaranteed play offs by the time we play them. I’ve thought for ages that could be the minor detail that tips things our way.

There’s bound to be examples like this. The thing about stats and algorithms is they will keep being refined and improving. Early attempts at using data to analyse performance showed Paulo Maldini wasn’t a very good defender because he didn’t make many tackles…

I’m guessing kind of 4-2-3-1 with Smith up front, Poveda and Ugbo out wide and Windass in the trequartista role? But yeah, two midfield destroyers sitting would make more sense. I have a feeling this will either be a total disaster or a pleasant surprise, Ipswich or Millwall.

According to the International Labour Organisation approximately 61% of the human race have a job. Clearly Blades and Scousers part of the minority.

I hope this is right.

Sounds extremely plausible. Was probably skint about two years after he retired. Too thick to be a manager. Too much of a loose canon for regular, well paid punditry.

Well that was utterly awful, a massive kick in the teeth. All we can hope for is that Bernard’s return from injury causes the “fannying around with it at the back” to generally result in possession retention, and the likes of Poveda and Bannan having a platform to play. Instead of creating a string of chances for the opposition without them even needing to play well.

But they wouldn’t change it because some brand consultant thought it was a good idea, then make anyone who asks “why the fuck did you do that” sound like a drooling bigot.

That tweet by Nike is the infuriating thing about this. Don’t get me wrong, I am not particularly bothered about the flag of St George. It is not my national flag, that is the Union Jack. But openly boasting on social media about making a “playful update” to it, in the name of fucking whatever, is nauseating corporate arrogance, mixed with the recent trend for corporate virtue signalling. Doesn’t really matter whether it is the flag of the UK, England, or Yorkshire, who the fuck are Nike to make “playful updates” to it? Well other than massive corporate sponsors from the country that culturally pollutes the rest of the world, and has been doing for decades. Despite their awful human rights record, there is a little part of me than actually would quite like to see China replace the Yanks as the World’s number one economy, and this shit is a perfect example of why.

I’ve never quite managed to get my head round why XM, who had a 58% win ratio at Watford, was such a disaster at Wednesday. But this post does add a lot of clarity.

Sandor Martin is a decent shout as a stepping stone to a world title. He’s been in with world class opposition, and he’s highly ranked by the WBC. Ohara Davies is 32 and just got knocked out by a 41 year old Venezuelan. Dalton would gain nothing by beating him, well other than more experience. He can’t wait forever. He will never get a world title shot against anybody he’s a strong favourite against, the division is just too good.

Other points to consider… With Haney, Lopez, Garcia and Prograis, there is a hell of a lot of talent in that division. If he waits for an easy route to a world title he’ll be waiting a long time. Dalton is 27. That is still young enough to challenge for a world title, lose and learn from it. Very few fighters who lose their first fight after 30 come back better. In fact I’m struggling to think of any. Even a close defeat against any of the four guys mentioned above would leave him making a lot more money for future fights.
