Many of those complaining about Wednesday away should have done something really daring, bought a ticket in advance. I did so when we played Man Utd in the league cup away in 1988, and watched lots still coming in half an hour after kick off. Lesson already knew, but reinforced.
Think the supercomputer's been out on the lash... Championship Supercomputer Predictions: Gameweek 13 Wrexham 3-2 Coventry Leicester 2-2 Blackburn Norwich 0-4 Hull West Brom 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday Birmingham 1-2 Portsmouth Charlton 3-0 Swansea Oxford 0-2 Millwall Stoke 1-2 Bristol City QPR 3-3 Ipswich Sheffield United 1-2 Derby Southampton 0-1 Preston Watford 1-1 Middlesbrough
If you look at the odds of the correct score for the first 3 games, the odds are 33/1, 18/1 and 100/1. This means that a £10 bet would give you about 650k. Come on, dare you miss out?
If it’s 3-5-2 (or 3-4-2-1 if we’re splitting hairs as Crooks and Gelhardt played as two number 10s off Joseph against Charlton) then I’d go with Coyle at right wingback if he’s healthy enough. Thought Drameh was an accident waiting to happen against Charlton. For some reason, he cannot head the ball or anticipate the flight of the ball in the air if his life depended on it.
I think he got voted the worst ever forward to wear the barcodes in a Toon Fanzine....Still think they say 'do you recall the time we had Billy Whitehurst' not in a good way, when looking back at the thinner and thinner times they had in the 1990s or whenever he was there.
Hot diggity dog, I just checked and it was 6-0 on aggregate, although it was 1987, age shall weary them!
I don't remember that win . Nowt worse than an away trip when you get hammered. I remember in my early years of regular away travel (the years of Richards and Eccleston at the back). I was in a freezing cold open stand at Barnsley watching us lose 5-0. Thinking things must get better, I was in a freezing open stand at Huddersfield a month later, watching us lose 5-0
Did they have a short spell in L1?...Maybe not, but there have been some bleak times, but not half as bad as us. I'll give you that.
