Does anyone feel a little bit sorry for Sheffield Wednesday in their current predicament ?

We will have to wait for the book then...

 

Rob Staton strikes me as the kind of guy who would take his ball home if he was losing at 5 aside.

I mean feel free to correct me if I’m wrong

 

I think I’ve told this story a couple of times but you’re scarily accurate with this.

I was once playing in a 5 a side league in Sheffield where he was paying for a team called “Owlstalk” (original I know). We were beating them quite comfortably so one time when the ball was in play, he picked the ball up with his hands (he was playing outfield) and kicked it straight out of the cage like a big baby and subbed himself off.

Was probably about 10 years ago now so maybe he’s matured a bit since then. Still don’t like his Wednesday bias though.

 

Andy Giddings (particularly) and Adam Oxley are great. I’ll say that.

And both Doug (especially) and Leon are proper sound.

 

I remember correcting him once on Twitter/X a few years ago. He'd transcribed one of Carlos' interviews about Wednesday and said that Carlos said a certain player had "effected the game when he came on." I said "*affected, Alan." with a wink emoji. Nothing more. No abuse. He came back with the holier than thou approach telling me he knows its "effected" because he's a journo and told me I was muted. Massive bell...who can't spell.

 

Fúck 'em. Most massive team in the universe. They were happy when they were taking Winnall off us 'because we could' They were happy when tuna guy was throwing money at them trying to get to Premier League. Reap what you sow piggies. Send 'em down a few divisions like Jocks did with Rangers. The Football League haven't the balls to do that though.
