Honking

[shorehamview]

Surely not. What could she possibly have done to deserve such unwarranted opprobrium? Heh Heh.

Well, her judgement is so poor she married Barry Bannan, for starters.

All this parachute payment stuff really shows how ignorant and cliched people are. We bought Moore, Burrows and Cooper with the money from the sales of Bogle, Traore, Trusty and Osula, with money still left in the pot as profit. All the other players were free agents and loans. "But what about the wages?" Yes, the wages. We sold/released a lot of players and those that remained all had relegation clauses in their contracts lowering their wages.

Funded by parachute payments?

Not entirely. Do your homework people, do your homework.

Sums up the difference in the two sets of fans, players etc

They would be morally outraged we use it as fuel

That's what winners do

The Irony is lost on them. Completely.

Wilder touched on it yesterday about them, but what he said about us is absolutely correct, its been earned. And earned the hard way coming from years in League one without a mega rich owner, we've built our academy to take the best talent we can get and turn them into cash.

The same can't be said of our neighbours that snort on about Failure payments and play the victim. They've had a sugar daddy owner bankrolling them for years and breaking the rules in doing so, whilst never attempting to upgrade their facilities or become self sustaining or progressive

We reduced our wage bill and freed up money with all the players sold/released and absorbed some of the profit from player sales too.

Funded by parachute payments?

Not entirely. Do your homework people, do your homework.

Also, we invest in our academy. Arblaster, Brooks,Peck and Seriki have all contributed this year.

I don’t do mainstream social media but my son tells me Mrs Bannon had a somewhat controversial social media account she used to ridicule our club/players. Apparently she made the account private yesterday. Wonder how it feels showing her face on school run or supermarket shop today?

When will people learn about social media, they had (I think) 3 fans with full bans, job losses, criminal records etc after irresponsible posts about deaths of fans, death of George etc.

Hope in the distant future if we every lose to them our fans will act more responsible.

The demise of their club and the rise of ours to dominate them must be hard to take as a fans but apart from social media the scenes of verbal abuse and life/limb threatening explosives being used at and on players/staff Shirley wants some FA and or police intervention.

Didn't she do a social media video taking the piss about Brewster's injury or something?

Wonder how much the grunty piggy little bastards would pay to actually become relevant to 3 generations of fans of the big 6 EPL clubs.

No fan of Man U, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool under the age of 30 even knows that they exist, and they know about Barnsley, Huddersfield, Bradford even Swindon fucking Town they've all had their PL season this century

FFS.

In fairness only HTFC & BCFC have been in the PL after the pigs but i get the point.

Gotta love it when a dig at Wednesday ends up with accidental collateral damage going Barnsley's way

 

[derfblade.3]

After Pigs got promoted from league 1 play off final the players were celebrating and Bannan gobbed off saying “Rhian Brewster you are honking , son?”

Maybe i'm a bit thick, but what does honking mean. P.S. i am very old

 

[HuddersfieldBlade]

Think it means we'll let you score a tap in 2 years time, in front of our fans

 

[Boxer Blade]

How about them singing "mind the gap"
How i loved it shortly after walking into my local and throwing it back at them, you realise as you get older to be a bit careful what you say as it can often come back and bite your arse.

The Wednesday fans are absolutely clueless if they had bothered to do their research in ths summer we lost the spine of our team pretty much and had re-start.

If it was as easy as to throw money at it tjen why are Luton fighting relegation.

And why aren't West Brom doing as well given that we have the same wage budget as them

Bitter deluded fools.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Weren’t they also saying how they’d kill Peck? The player who took the piss out of Bannan in the build up to the goal and played a great ball down the line for Campbell. Bannan really doesn’t like chasing around after our young, talented midfielders does he?!

 

[BarcaBlade]

The game at the top level is gone. The only point in going up is to widen the financial gap between ourselves and the rest for the EFL teams when we come back down.

Daft little clubs like Bournemouth, who won the jackpot by having a Russian Oligarch buy them because it was near the local yacht club, are now pretty much assured of Premiership status for ever more as they were in there at the right time when the mega bucks TV money rolled in. The rest of us, in places that care about football, are just in the outside looking in.

Is there an argument for creating an extra division?

One strategy could be to devise a system whereby over the next few seasons, the EPL is reduced to 18 teams, but then the Championship is also restructured to have 18 teams and rebranded as EPL2. This can cascade down through the rest of the leagues with League One, Two and Three all having 20 teams.

To simplify things and save the ridiculous idea of the third tier being named League One, there can be a streamlining of the naming convention with the EPL(1) becoming Division 1, the former Championship/EPL2 becoming Division 2 and so on.

If 5 full divisions is deemed too many, the lowest could be rebranded as the Conference.

I'm not a fan of any of the sexist chanting, should stay in the past.
Evie Wilder, as far as I know, is just a young girl who should be able to get on with her life, regardless of who her dad is. Mrs Glaswegian Goblin however, has a long history of spouting off on social media and shouldn't be surprised when the chants are aimed in her direction.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Good question! I think it means "vomit".
I could be wrong, though!

I was talking to a pig friend a few weeks ago. We were discussing their chairman, and I asked why he didn't just get the hell out and stop throwing money away. He thinks it's cultural and if he were to leave without making a profit, it would be deemed a failure, and a disgrace on his family name. Ironically, better to keep throwing money away, rather than be perceived as walking away. I was staggered but pleased. If true, then the joy will continue unbridled. They got lucky with Rohl, sooner or later they would get a non loser.

Just think of their managers since relegation from the Prem. Jewell, Shreeves, Yorath, Turner, Sturrock, Laws, Irvine, Megson, Jones, Gray, Carvahal, Luhukay, Monk, Bruce, Pulis, Moore, & Munoz.

None of them were equipped to take them back to the PL. Sure, we have had bad ones - Robson, Adams, Weir, Adkins, - but we have also had two very good ones, who improved the club considerably, on and off the pitch. It's the off the pitch work that most divides these teams.

We need Man City, Newcastle, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea to vanish off to some FIFA lnfantino Super League where they can play Real Madrid in Riyadh every weekend.

Once they've gone, forget about em. Then try and create more of a level playing field in the game.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Didn't she do a social media video taking the piss about Brewster's injury or something?

It was about Ollie Arblaster and along the lines of 'Hope it's serious'

 

[FTPE]

She certainly did.
Vile woman.
Should we sing about her? Probably not, we should keep it about football, but when the other half get involved they're asking for trouble (rightly or wrongly). Some United players missus's have got involved in the past as well, but not spitting hate like she did.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Singing about wilders daughter makes me cringe they are the lowest of the low fucking scrubbers

As they did again yesterday. Mind you Blades sang about Baldys wife!

Singing about Wilder's daughter is misogynistic nonsense and should be widely called out. It should just be unacceptable for anyone hearing it, nevermind thinking of saying it. The same goes for Bannan's wife, if the chant isn't based on what she said or did. I'm assuming its something sexual for no apparent reason other than because she's a woman.

I didn't include Archer as we basically got our money back. It was an odd deal that one.

Great deal for Villa.

 

[Oohaah! Bob Bookah!]

I always thought it to mean "Stinking" as in "stinking the place out".

The best part is that now they've actually found a decent manager he will probably be off without making any real difference so it'll be back to trying another 15 crap ones again.

Not sure why people keep saying they got lucky with Rohl. All they got lucky with was coming into a Championship that sees half the teams on a par with a non league team. Have you watched many of their games? They're fucking awful, and the signings? I give you Max 'All Time' Lowe as a prime example how poor at player selection he is ffs.

He picked a shockingly bad side yesterday, playing a horrible, predictable and one dimensional excuse for football that was never going to beat us, and never going to stop us beating them so no, he's no tactical genius, in fact he's fucking clueless. Give it a year or two and he'll be plying his trade at Dortmund Diamondbacks or somewhere equally as nondescript because that's his level.

He's never won owt! Because theve had that many shit managers, he comes along with his "Wimbledon style of football " and all of a sudden he's Pep.

 

[Proper Blade]

One thing I've noticed looking at the madness of Owls Talk today is that a lot are saying Bannan doesn't turn up for the big games like this. But it's not a case of turning up. Bannan could have the game of his life and it wouldn't matter. This is just what he looks like when he's up against better players. Stronger, faster, quicker, more intelligent - just better than him.

It's another sobering thought for Wednesday fans - that their best player wouldn't even make our U21s squad. That we churn out youth players every year better than him.
