Go On The Owls

[OwlsFan]

I have one or two fingers in various pies. I ordered a ticket for my brother on that Hartlepool site earlier today (I had heard of it thanks). Believe it or not he supports both teams - what are the chances of that ?? Didn't for myself as I don't want to sit with opposing supporters: no fun in that. Did it at Old Trafford once.

Apparently Wednesday are bringing more supporters to a play-off than any previous Club. Not that surprising even though the likes of Sunderland have been there before as well.

Fingers crossed - I won't be relaxed even if the Owls are 3-0 up at half time :eek: judging by last night's match

Best of luck Mr Owl!!!!

I must admit I have selfish reasons for supporting Sheffield Wednesday in this match! As a Nottingham Forest supporter I just hope we're the only 'big fish' in League One next year!!!

As well as that you're a massive club with amazing support and for nicer than that other lot from Sheffield!!!!! :D :D

[OwlsFan]

I thought that myself when I saw Forest coming down. Not sure I want another large club in the same division so Wednesday are doing their best to scurry out. :D

[OwlsFan]

Oh no, Dunphy has tipped Wednesday :eek: . We're doomed I tell you. We're all doomed.

A grudging well done, although without MacLean's theatrics and the ref's myopia, Hartlepool would have had the win that their performance today merited. I can't help thinking that you'll go straight back down (still £37 million in debt and no transfer kitty for Sturrock), but for today at least, enjoy the feeling and the promotion that your exceptional fans (if not your inconsistent team) deserve. :)

Oh, and Sturrock vs Southampton? Bring it on... :D

:ball: PP

Well done lad's.That Whelan fellow looks a right good prospect,intelligent,determined and skillfull also got man of the match.

[The Owls]

Well PLastic paddy i dont know how you can say Hartlepool deserved it because in the first half we played them off the pitch and the second half they done it too us.It evened out.And the penalty was slightly dubious but with the luck weve had over the years i dont give a flying ****.Come on the Wedneday!

[Plastic Paddy]

Now, you're hardly being objective about this, are you? ;) :D I take your point about the luck though. Today, and for once, it's with you.

Congratulations again on that promotion. Enjoy your night.

:D PP

Just back from Cardiff. The proverbial roller coaster. Up, down, down and out, back again, ahead and victory. One of the best football matches experience (not quality) wise I've been at. I was really glad for the Wednesday fans - you could sense the doom and foreboding and here we go again feeling as Hartlepool got back into the game (as ever it is an Irishman who scored against the Owls) but thank heavens for Whelan in his white boots. In the Roy Keane mould of a box to box player and a fine passer of the ball. Still doesn't have the presence or strenth of Keane but even if he gets 75% of the way there, he'll be excellent.

They won't go down again - there is a fair bit of dross in the Championship (Crewe, Plymouth etc - no offence to them) and I would expect them to be closer to the top than bottom next season and I am not normally optimistic.

All will count for very little though if we don't get the 3 points this w/e against Israel but for the moment it's:

"Who needs Mourin-hooo
when we've got Paul Sturrockoo"

Just a quick question. Did Whelan get MOTM in all 3 playoff matches?

[The Owls]

Think it was only the the second leg and the final.But i hope he does progress into a very good player and can do something on the international team.

I seen the first leg and he got MOTM then. Didn't see either of the other games but heard he was MOTM in the final. If he got it in the 2nd leg too that his some acheivement. Beating off 21 players in each game. :)
