The Sheffield Wednesday Saltiness

John Terry would never book his teammates.

If only that was not true.

[Damo70]

Can’t stand this team and that god awful England band. I am so glad we have never resorted to this to “create an atmosphere”.

God yes, see also Huddersfield. Wankers with their fucking drums.

You would have to be a hell of a drummer to wank and drum at the same time. Unless you bought a second him customized drum kit off of Rick Allen.

No, but he would their wives.  Oh, sorry, you said BOOK.

The referee must be absolutely abysmal today. They're all biased in favour of big clubs like Bristol City.

owls robbed again today by west Country cooonts.

Another bellend club I can't stand Brizzie City, along with Tango Wednesday (or ex-Wolves Tango Wednesday)

[Nelly]

I guess who you consider to be a big club partly depends on who was in the top flight when you first followed football, so for me Wednesday are a big club, so it was saddening to read their forum. I love that Hillsbrough and Villa Park used the host the FA Cup Semi Finals.

Years down in the doldrums appears to have sent them all mental.

[Chico Hamilton III]

I'm another one who considers Sheffield Wednesday to be a big club, based on my own intangible definition of big. Compare them to, say, Chelsea and Man City, pre their injections of dodgy overseas cash and Wednesday are up there for me. Probably biased by some great days at Hillsbrough with Villa.

[Ad@m]

They are a big club. They've won 8 major trophies. About time their fans started acting the part.

I've always thought of Wednesday as a big club who should really be in the top division.
I reckon our perception of clubs are mostly based on where they were when you started following football as a kid.
Both the Sheffield clubs are top division clubs, Brighton and Swansea are 3rd division. Barrow, Workington, Darlington, Bradford PA should all be in the 4th division.

Having to seek re-election most years.

but back in the real world, both Brighton and Swansea are very much in the PL both winning well at the weekend.

plus you’d probably never get through Foody’s front door again if you said otherwise!

The re-election system wasn't exactly fair. Gateshead despite not even finishing bottom and having only once previously having to apply were voted out in 1960. Compare that with Hartlepool and 14 successful re-elections.  You do wonder how some clubs may have been able to keep favour better with their fellow members to maintain their league status.
