    Last time we played sheffield Wednesday at home it was the weekend closest to my mrs’ birthday in 2018, her birthday is 7 Feb, the game was 10 Feb 2018. I missed it as I had taken her away for the weekend.

    This year, the game is on the exact same weekend, falling on 08 Feb. Again I’m likely going to miss it as she wants to stay in Cambridge and catch up with her mate who lives in Ely.

    Bloody typical.

    Lucky sod. The Weds games are usually bloody awful. You just know that they're going to wrangle a penalty or a late winner/equaliser and cheat their way through the whole match with hardly a word from the ref.

    Enjoy Cambridge, mate. Forget the match until you get back home.

    I hate playing Wednesday for all the reasons already pointed out. We never ever get the rub of the green and I just end up bitter and angry. Not good for my health lol.
    You’ll probably not regret missing it....although I hope you do obviously!

    I'd suggest either a divorce, or that your good lady arranges an 'official' birthday (like the Queen) in the close season; although she must ensure that it doesn't clash with any World Cups or Euro Championships...

    I’ve reconciled myself to the idea. I don’t like early kick offs anyway, we rarely get much from them. Especially against that mob.

    However, given this particular trip involved taking the kids, it will also mean my now twelve years old also missing it. Last time I got my Middlesbrough supporting step dad to take him with our tickets as boro were away that week.

    I have a funny feeling that the Cambridge plans might be changed to include only his sisters, and that he will stay with my mum and step dad as Middlesbrough are away at Brentford that day.

    Divorce or a second birthday sound like too expensive a proposition.

    She’d probably pick somewhere in the middle of July knowing her anyway (or even worse, early August).

    Couldn’t make it up how lucky these lot are. When I’m having a down moment I watch their current goals for the season and 80 percent of them have been deflections off a flood light or balls gone through concourse sprung off a beer pump and hit tannoyd and rolled in.
