Match 37 of 25/26 - Southampton (H)
Another inevitable loss, but we celebrated a goal 🎉, and put in a battling performance in the second half.
Fans were also really positive; maybe the confirmed relegation has deterred a few of the moaners, and we're left with the supportive hardcore again.

On the road with the fans of the most hopeless team in English football Sheffield Wednesday have succumbed to the earliest relegation in EFL history – but the loyalty of their supporters cannot be doubted

If this season at Hillsborough was a boxing match, it would have been stopped long ago. These fans, though, refuse to throw in the towel.

On the road with Sheffield Wednesday, as The Athletic joined 1,200 loyal #SWFC fans at Norwich for yet another defeat.

Match 36 of 25/26 - Norwich City (A)
At 2-0 I feared a rout. Few chances created, but looked defensively more solid after HT, & good games for Emery and Ndala.
Always enjoy a trip to Carrow Road; a nice stadium with a good fanbase, who've always been generous in their support to Wednesdayites #swfc

They gave it a right good go in the second half and had United panicking. That's all you can ask for

Match 35 of 25/26 - Sheffield United (A)
Was dreading going and getting battered; but after a shaky start, we did ok, and great to celebrate a goal. 🎉
Relegation confirmed but we've known that for months.
Blades can say what they like but our Owlets had them panicking in the second half 💙🦉 #swfc

Great photo of Laz.
I caught him framed in a window in a less impressive photo a few years ago (he had gone out for a cigarette at The National Running show)

Rain on plastic.
Cold Tennessee air.
And the architect of chaos watching it all unfold.

Repost for a chance of winning a 4x6 print. I’ll select 40 at random to celebrate the 40th edition of the Barkley Marathons.

Sounds amazing but a bit far to travel for a 15k for me, even if the medal is beautiful 🤣 Maybe if I win the lottery!

My general collection and Disney medals

Which race is that? It's a beautiful medal 😍

So that's it. Time for bed in the knowledge that there's going to be no Barkley finisher again this year. I hope to wake up to the news that @ultradamo.bsky.social has successfully completed a fun run. 🤞#BM100

At least Sébastien, and to a lesser extent Damo, will be acclimatised to the cold having endured The Spine last month 🥶

Mine was slightly different

A summary of The Barkley Marathons; an event I've followed for years, where the only updates are from in the know social media accounts.
The race unexpectedly started yesterday, when the cigarette was lit & has a 60 hr cutoff.
If this makes no sense, wait until you fall into the #BM100 rabbit hole.

Wombwell 5?
Good luck 🍀

Chiseled Jaw Guy, Knee Guy, Old Guy, Midnight guy, and The Path Finder are the first five in. #BM100

Have the Barkley updates from @keithdunn.bsky.social slowed as nothing is happening or is it because Newcastle were playing? 🤔 #BM100 #NUFC
(Great win for you Keith!)

Match 34 of 25/26 - Milwall (H)
Inevitably lost again, but a much improved performance, and we scored a goal! 🎉
Thought Ingelsson and Kobacki had strong performances, and the whole team had more attacking intent. Just need a miracle next week now. 💙🦉
#swfc

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 6:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100

I think I'd have been good at Skeleton if only I'd had a better sledge! 😂 #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026 #TeamGB

Thank you; appreciate that.
One of the positives of this awful time has been the setting aside of rivalries at a lot of our games this season, and yesterday was no exception. I met some really sympathetic and lovely Swansea fans on the way to and from the stadium. Kindness won't be forgotten easily!

I think that's my last long trip this season; I can't face Norwich midweek and sacrificing a couple of days work.

Match 33 of 25/26 - Swansea City (A)
A long way to go for an abject performance.
A few decent attacks from the new loan signings, but defensively all over the place again.
Made a weekend of it, by travelling down on Saturday, and lovely to see the sun today, but these away trips are tough #swfc

🤣😂🤣

It was, especially first half. I'm hoping it improves a bit when the loan players come in.

Hear me out Wednesdayites, maybe we're living the same match over and over because we need to learn a life lesson. #swfc

Match 32 of 25/26 (repeat of match 21) - Blackburn Rovers (A)
First half an horrendous performance; second half at least they had a go for a spell, but result was inevitable as soon as Blackburn scored.
A lot drier this time, but absolutely baltic, and a difficult drive home in sleet & snow 🥶 #swfc

Thank the Lord! 🎉

Match 31 of 25/26 - Wrexham (H)
First game post Bannan.
Wrexham weren't great and a bit lucky to get a 1-0 win. A couple of decent chances for Cademarteri; goal came from a break down the right where the young full back struggled all game.
Great to see the sunshine for the first time in weeks! #swfc

One of my favourites, along with The Runaway and The Elves and the Shoemaker
