I've just read this article and thought you guys might find it interesting, it looks like starting in 19/20 season you'll be able to watch all non-Saturday matches live through the clubs' online subscription service. What's taken them so long? http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/spor.../sky-agree-new-championship-television-462584
apparently a very nasty head injury for Brentford's Henrik Dalsgaard. 17 minutes of injury time while he was treated. 2-1 Wednesday win in the end.
We'll pass them on Sunday... http://www.espnfc.us/english-league...emn-supporter-behaviour-during-norwich-defeat
it's the big one. I had intended to be there this weekend, but I couldn't get my time away from work sorted out. I wish I could be more confident about it.
Knowledge bomb: "It might be topical to reflect on who were actually called pigs in Sheffield and why. And the truth is, it is not really anything to do with the animals. A quick recap - most know that Sir Charles Clegg was a famous Wednesday and England football player and became the Chairman of Sheffield Wednesday and also Sheffield United Cricket Club. In their early days, Wednesday played at a number of grounds but normally used Bramall Lane for all the big matches. When Wednesday decided to have their own dedicated ground at Olive Grove in 1888, Charles Clegg realised that the winter income at Bramall Lane would cease so had the bright idea of creating a football club to go alongside the cricket club. So Sheffield United F C were formed and Charles Clegg became Chairman of both clubs. At the time, supporters of both clubs were known as The Blades ( people from Sheffield were often called blades), and it wasn't until some years after Wednesday moved to Hillsborough (Owlerton) that they became known as the Owls. There was genuine friendly rivalry in those days with Wednesday quite interested in the progress of their "junior team", only spoilt when lads had taken on board too much ale - so no change there. Sheffield was already a world leader in the manufacture of steel and the steel making process involved starting with iron in moulds which slightly resembled a pig and which were universally known as pig iron. In the steel factories, the workers dealing with the pig iron were slightly less skilled and paid slightly less than those taking the metal through the process to make steel, often using the Bessemer process. The workers dealing with the pig iron were colloquially known as "pigs" and partly as a derogatory term for the supporters of the new football club, and partly because of where the new supporters lived and worked, they started being called pigs by Wednesday supporters. The stories about Hillsborough being built on a pig farm are not true, the land was all part of the grounds of the stately home which stood in what is now Hillsborough Park. Whatever happened at Bramall Lane before it was a cricket ground is not really known and probably not relevant as Wednesday played there for many years before United were created. So the history is all about what Sheffield was famous for - converting pig iron into steel! Hence why United supporters were called pigs and Wednesday should not be!!" Stolen from another site
Lost 4-2. wow. I've seen professional football before Sheffield Wednesday, it does not look like that.
it's tough knowing what's going through Chansiri's mind, but yeah, a loss tomorrow and the knives will be out, for sure.
2-0 now in the first half to the good guys. honestly, it should be 4-0... and maybe even 5. missed sitters and terrible ref decisions holding them back. from what i've seen, though, we're running rampant. how can what i'm seeing here be the same team that has started so poorly this season?
I thought Leeds were a decent side this season but you dominated them today, wrongfully disallowed goal as well.
I usually just pay on the day, but I figured I'd go ahead and get my ticket for the Barnsley match up front just to get it out of the way and to keep cash in my pocket come the day (there'll be pints to pay for, eh?). Let me just tell you ... the online ticketing (and the website in general) is a massive fustercluck. anything you try to do ... go to the ticketing ... check seating availability ... re-set your password ... anything you click on ... it just takes you to a 'you are in a queue' page, which, after some time, just drops you back onto the 'upcoming home matches' page. it's no huge deal, as I'm not worried about it selling out, or anything. but it's shockingly bad.
