The Fizzy League Thread

That Leicester result was bizzare alright. And Preston continue to accelerate away from the drop zone at speed.
Considering Wednesday only managed two shots on goal yesterday :o, I'll happily take the point. It's really vital that we get something out of the game(s) in hand.
Colchester and Scunthorpe both have tricky games on Tuesday night and the good news is that neither can catch us even with a win.
However we've got two very tough games coming up, Warnocks' Palace on Saturday, and watch Glenn Whelan score against us in the 97th minute the following week! :mad:
Never a dull moment with the Owls!:cool:

94th minute goal conceded making the difference of 2 points and 5 places :mad: Time and time again Wednesday concede in the last seconds. Wrist slitting stuff. Unbelievable.

Well, I've booked to the last game of the season against Norwich since this looks as if it's going to go to the wire both at the top and at the bottom. Colchester and Scunthorpe look doomed so it's then beween any one of about 6.

WBA should be running away with the league but can't keep a clean sheet (except against Wednesday :mad:) and their game against Colchester was a roller coaster, winning 4-3 in the end.

Sligo-Hornet, what has happened to Watford?

Plan A has been sussed by everyone.....Plan B is the same as plan A:(

I cannot see us getting automatic ( and truth be known I don't want promotion ) and ALL three that do go up will struggle to emulate Derby!!:eek:

I here yiu fielded Too many loan players saturday against Stoke, and that Stoke may be awarded the 3 points!....not looking too rosy for your survival now!

Didn't field too many. Too many on the team sheet but two of the loanees never took the field so it will probably (hopefully) only be a small fine similar to what Leeds got in.

Big 6 pointer against Coventry this evening: forget your Champions League ;)

Good luck for tonight ( agreed "real football":D)......hopefully we can give you a hand on saturday as we also have Coventry at home.....then again, Plan A (or B ) might not work!:o

Great goal by Whelan last night for Stoke but didn't stop them being beaten 1-2 by Palace. Can't believe Stoke are in the top 2 with dross like Cresswell and Pearson (ex-Celtic) as some of their main men. The only time I saw Delap in the game was when he was throwing the ball long, Stoke's main weapon. I still fancy WBA and Watford for the 2 top places, although both face each other soon.

Sheffield derby tonight :eek:. Not optimistic but that's the normal mental condition of an Owls' fan.

Good luck for tonight......we are playing Barnsley at Home tomorrow night ( Our game in hand ) and if successful we will retake the Top spot!.....away to West Brom on saturday:( ( 5.20pm on Sky )

Watford Barnsley that will be a classic. Nothing against any of the teams but I really hope that West Brom get up as they play great football.

I'd have taken a draw against United at 7.45, but having led 2-0 it's a bit diappointing :(

Yeah, genuine commiserations - nothing more sickening, especially given the opposition. :(

At least ye've til next Monday to pick ye'reselves up. Last three games all against fellow strugglers....I hope your nerves are up to it. :)

I was out to dinner with the missus for her birthday and asked a friend to keep me posted of the scores by text. Beeb beeb 1 up. Beeb beeb 2 up. Beeb beeb 1 up. And then I waited with baited breath and the dreaded beep beep came with 5 minutes to go. I knew in my heart it wasn't 1-3. As Jebus said, I would have taken 2-2 at 7.45 but to lose a 2-0 lead with 20 minutes left. Memories of the 1966 cup final.

Memories of the 66 cup final :eek:

I was tuned in to last nights game (as usual) via BBC Radio Sheffield and it sounded like we were soaking up pressure and playing on the counter. Lee Grant made a couple of early saves and Songo and Johnson were very effective on the break. Burton was causing their centre-halves lots of problems too.
Our first goal really was a surprise and it's been that long since we took the lead in a game it was hard to know if Wednesday would know what to do. Thankfully made it to half time in front and even more thankfully we didn't sit back second half. Two nil, Bolder again, Wednesday seemingly in control.

But alas Wednesday are never really in control, even 2 goals to the good. (I think it was Swindon Town a few seasons ago, two nil up with 8 minutes left. Three points in the bag you'd think... no... surely a point... no... :o )

Looks like Kav wil miss the Plymouth game on Monday having pulled up with a hamstring injury late on.
Injuries and surrenderred victories, the life of an Owls fan, it's feckin' marvellous :D

Oh, and lets hope Watford beat Barnsley tonight!

In primary school at the time. Watched the game on BBC. Owls 2-0 up with 30 minutes to go and along comes Mike Trebilcock. Never did anything before or since. Lose 3-2.

That must've been gutting OwlsFan.

'93 Cup Final when Linighan scored would be the first time I cried over football :o

Stunning name though, Trebilcock :D

Ditto, although Waddle's screamer in the semi final against United is still one of my fonder memories in life :)

Too right!

Oh and for the record I didn't really cry over it, I actually had something caught in my eye...

...In fact I didn't even post that I had cried over it, there was something wrong with my keyboard.

** clears throat in a manly fashion **

;)

Crikey, Watford 0 Barnsley 3 with a half hour to go :eek:

It's a topsy turvey league!
