Can't you book her some laughing lessons Owl, surely there's a local place near you.

Yes, did you see the interesting anomaly with the yellow cards Owl? Villa goalkeeper had a second yellow after the 1st or 2nd pen of the penalty shootout but didn't get sent off. Apparently cards don't carry over from the game into the penalty shootout, they give them a fresh start as they don't want to be sending a goalie off for leaving his goal line when facing a penalty in the shootout should he have had one during the game. As for the Owls, I have precipice fatigue, oh for a season in mid table. My nerves are shot.

Fair play to the Palace lads, some brilliant defending in there but the amount of chances Liverpool had I still can't see how they didn't score. Having said that, I'm pleased they did'n't as I don't like them.😀

Just watching that game now, Palace 0-1 up, second half just kicked off.

Tell me about it, I have a roof leak at home but can't now get in the loft. Have to rely on roofers and phone pics.

Well yeah, I did have one removed a bit since, maybe the mod was being a tad over zealous or he'd seen his <deleted>.

Slightly off topic but we play Norwich tonight Owl, bit of a mile stone as it's our 5,000 league game. https://twitter.com/hashtag/SHWNOR?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1777588505172152568|twgr^5629f2dfd5224d97b44351229f0502e0625a7d0b|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.owlsonline.com%2Findex.php%3Fapp%3Dcoremodule%3Dsystemcontroller%3Dembedurl%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2Fswfc%2Fstatus%2F1777588505172152568&src=hashtag_click

I wasn't expecting much after last weeks performance at Boro to be honest, some looked to not be trying. Then a rumour about players coming out of contract and a few upset as negotiations hadn't been opened at least. Then one or two removed from the squad and the manager refusing to say why and an improved performance and a deserved win, looked a totally different side from just a week ago. Norwich up next on Tuesday I think, then Stoke. It's roll the dice time, could go either way, probably to the last game. Great footy isn't it.

Spot on Owl, considering their level is around a boys under 16 team why not include all the boys fixtures in there as well starting with the, er lets say the under 10's. These people are just trying to manipulate minds into thinking the same way as their own bent logic.

Gutted for all concerned, RIP little ones.

Not good leaving us hanging like this Owl.

Always the same init. Everytime you want a job doing and get someone in to price it, you have an idea what you want and some bloke comes in to tell you that you're wrong and that you need this other thing which makes it easier for him. I had it a couple of years ago with a new bathroom with one bloke, who didn't get the job. I ultimately stuck to my guns and got what I wanted from someone else. They just want the easiest way. Whatever happened to giving the customer what he wants.

I didn't start going regularly until 1963 when I got my first season ticket, that cost £5 and the season after it increased to £6 and 6 shilings. How things have changed. Seen many a game at Hillsborough but few really stand out but one of them was against the hammers. The Owls won 5-0 but what made it stand out as a game was Chris Waddle tormenting David Burrows all afternoon, Waddle was on fire. David Burrows eventually finished up at Hillsborough as well. That was in Decenber 1993.

Especially if you were alive at the time it happened.😂

We were discussing an event in 1979 but Owl went off on one of his tangents and a couple of years earlier we finished up in 1951.😀

Ah, before I was born Owl. You confused me when you said a couple of years, should have read a couple of decades.😂

A couple of years? I can't remember that one. I've been watching Wednesday since 1963 and I've racked my brains trying to remember it. The Boxing Day Massacre is part of the folklore now, but surely if a 7-3 to the grunters was a couple of years prior to 79 they'd surely have reminded us of it. And I'm sure I'd have remembered it as well.

Wouldn't know about the Villa Park game Owl, I've always understood it to be the game at Hillsborough on that Boxing Day, commonly referred to as the Boxing Day Massacre. Be interesting to find out the truth though. Just as an aside, would you happen to know the score at that game at Hillsborough in 1979? I mean, the attendance is a nice to have, but ultimately it's all about the result isn't it?

Whoops, sorry Owl, my bad. I obviously read that wrong, sorry.

Now what was the biggest league 1/Division 3 gate Owl, did you find it?

Arsenal, but I had to look it up.

Can't imagine what the manager was thinking there, all on him that one. 4 at the back, 2 in midfield and 4 up front away to one of the best sides in the league. Videos work fine BTW, great to see the bus in full swing.

Some crowd that. Wonder what the best ever was/is.

Yes, I watched them last night against Middlesborough. The Tony Mowbray illness hasn't hasn't helped them at all which may eventually be their downfall. I think he's on the mend and I wish him well, just hope he doesn't rush back too quickly, take your time Tony.😂 I was fearing the worst when they held onto Stansfield and then signed Pritchard from Sunderland but it's not working for them yet, but things can change quickly.

Quite. On some of the Owls fans forums I go on they were bemoaning the fact that as we'd started to win then so had the other teams just above us but what that does do inevitably is rope more teams into the battle, there's only so many points to go round.
