Sheffield Wednesday F.C.

Sheffield Wednesday are one of the world's best football teams with the most passionate and vocal supporters, the best players and the best ground in the Universe. They're bigger than the Beatles and undoubtedly the best football team to have ever graced the planet. Or at least, that's what their deluded supporters would have you believe. In reality, they're a middle-of-the-road Championship team with money problems and a dwindling fan base. Admittedly I'm a (Sheffield) United supporter, so this review of the Pigs**, sorry "Owls" may be a little one-sided. Wendy (as Unitedites affectionately call them) were formed in 1867 and originally ...  Read the complete review

what can i say about this team? I have supported them all my life, and that is saying a lot as i am from northern ireland and only know of two others in the whole country! The fifth oldest team in england, wednesday were so called as they were originally a cricket team, and the only day they could meet to train on was a wednesday. Their nickname, the owls, simply comes from their location in the suburb of sheffield, owlerton. They have won the league four times in their history, but not since the 30's, so we are well due a bit of success. also we have won the fa cup 3 times, and the league cup once. And who can forget the two defeats at the hands of arsenal in both ...  Read the complete review

I’ve loved this team since I was a young lad. I’ve seen us lose two cup finals to Arsenal and lead the Premier League for an amazing four weeks, FOUR WHOLE WEEKS!!!!! And then I saw us get relegated. So, we get rid of our best players and struggle to survive the Division One hell whole. We sack the best managers we have and appoint old boys to run the team. Could things get any worse? Yeah, we now can’t score a single goal. Three Pre season friendlies and not one goal, not even a sniff of a shot. Its hardly surprising when we get rid of a good striker on a free transfer because he doesn’t want to play for us. Tough, stay and earn your ...  Read the complete review

Sheffield Wednesdays future in Division 1 is looking up and next season could be heading for the dizzy heights of the premiership. They proved they can beat premiership sides last season when they beat West Ham 2-1 at West Hams ground it was a marvellous result and if they can rekindle their spark of the division and work like a team they know and I know they can do it. Last season they did not have a good season for many reasons 1) they did not have the services of Dutch International Wim Jonk. 2)They had a manager which was as much use as an ash tray on a motorbike. 3)They thought it would be a walk over to get promotion back to the premiership and ...  Read the complete review

So Paul Jewell has now been sacked, shortly after receiving the dreaded vote of confidence and leaving with him is Chairman Howard Culley, although he will retain his seat on the Wednesday board for the time being. His sacking comes days after the 4-1 hammering at Wimbledon and two days before a crucial home game against third from bottom Tranmere Rovers. Jewell loses his job after just eight months in charge and a run of only 2 wins in 13 matches which has left them at the bottom of the First Division and staring another relegation in the face. For the time being Peter Shreeves takes over as caretaker manager assisted by coach Terry Yorath. 70 year old Geoff ...  Read the complete review
