Do know much about Piero Hincapie, Brefugee? He sounds like the next bit of business for us.

oh sorry, last time i was really up on Wednesday players, Terry Curran was still playing... (70s/80s)

TheNewGaard · 26/08/2025 22:21

Not Wednesday, Leverkusen. I thought you followed them, sorry if I'm mistaken!

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY, OLÉ!!!
blimey, did not see that coming.

miraculous. My dear dad, a life long Wendie died 3 weeks ago and the whole situation at Wednesday has felt extra tragic to us as a result. But games like this and even Wrexham which we thought we’d lose make me feel like he’s up there pulling some strings. When my girls were little and Wednesday were losing he’d say ‘come on lads, we need a goal for Grampa now’ and they’d go mad if they got one and really believe they’d scored just for their Grampa. We still say it now but it’s with a little tear at the minute.

And the team they played as well all the academy players

but Celtic how are they out of the champions league

outofdate · 27/08/2025 07:37

Brilliant SW!
Leeds missed all their penalties. So many missed pens this season already- what’s going on?

This is cute. I am sorry for the loss of your Dad but hopefully it's a sign of better times for Wednesday ❤

Haha shows how much I know! But no, I don't follow Leverkusen. I'm all about Borussia Mönchengladbach!

DH says "yep, worth going for him"

So sorry about your dad. 💙

I think that you are confused because of Xhaka going to Leverkusen.

We bought him from Borussia Mönchengladbach which is why @Brefugee used to talk about Xhaka and Leverkusen.

TheNewGaard · 27/08/2025 13:47

Ah, that makes sense!

Brefugee · 27/08/2025 17:28

Oh yeah. We adored Xhaka at Gladbach.

Tiswa · 27/08/2025 18:48

Brefugee · 27/08/2025 17:28

He might return as a coach then- I read his move to Sunderland is all about moving into coaching and learning how to cope with adversity etc

TheNewGaard · 27/08/2025 20:39

Are we allowed to laugh at Utd tonight?

Tiswa · 27/08/2025 20:42

TheNewGaard · 27/08/2025 20:39

if it stays this way yes - Utd have a habit of getting themselves out of these situations

what is it though with Man Utd managers destroying confidence Onana looks broken

Laugh away!

Oh the joys of being a United fan in 2025 😂

I have just messaged a Man Utd supporting friend who is currently in Africa with laughing emojis

Could be worse Rangers are losing 9-1 on aggregate

the rain is insane! Anything can happen in these conditions

There's time for another 7 goals!

I posted on the thread about Manchester Uni today ... The poster was worried about the rain here. It's a lovely evening in Manchester tonight, so I'm just pleased we didn't get tickets and get soaked 😂

Tiswa · 27/08/2025 21:22

Even if Grimsby do lose the fact that Fernandez/Mbeumo/Mount have come on speaks volumes as to their performance

Cuwins · 27/08/2025 21:31

Great to see our new boys getting off the mark in Oxford.

DuncinToffee · 27/08/2025 21:55

Comfortable 2-0 win for us

TheNewGaard · 27/08/2025 22:17

Wow! Well done Grimsby!

Cuwins · 27/08/2025 22:17

That was absolutely mental! 😂

Tarkan · 27/08/2025 22:19

That was an absolutely amazing penalty shootout. Brilliant stuff.

And it took my mind off the atrocious Rangers result thankfully. 🙈

Tiswa · 27/08/2025 22:19

That was epic! I am glad Zirkzee and Mainoo didn’t miss though particularly Zirkzee as he looks slightly broken anyway. Mbeumo I still haven’t forgiven for a last season penalty miss for Brentford that cost me dear in the family fpl league
