Yep. Everything has a Chansiri tax on it. #swfc

I’m wondering as,DC has gone missing,and is not giving instructions,if the Club staff will do nothing about reallocating North Stand S/T holders ahead of the Stoke game. If we are locked out of seats we have paid for then that ought to be enough for the EFL or others to instigate action #swfc

Route One: Are Bayern under-cooked? (…and is Tyler Dibling really worth £50m?) Struggling to understand Bayern Munich’s preparations for the new season, we drafted in The Athletic’s Seb Stafford-Bloor to explain it all.With Southampton demanding a whopping £50m for Tyler...

The new ROUTE ONE is here. Are Bayern a little under-cooked? @sebsb.bsky.social takes a look. Is Tyler Dibling really worth £50m? @benmcaleer.bsky.social gives his verdict. And what's the latest on Sheffield Wednesday?

Have a listen today and if you like it, give it a quick review.

Late stage syphylis.

There must be some paperwork they have to sign.

Getting harder, Jeff. Not even sure we can put out a team on Sunday.

My great uncle scouted Mel Sterland.

EFL: "I see here you bankrupted Lyon, got them relegated and also cost Crystal Palace a place in Europe, anything else?"

Fit and proper owner: "No that about covers it."

EFL: "Excellent. When you like to buy #swfc?"

Go to work social media.

I'm assuming Macron haven't been paid that's why they've given us the worst Word Art kit in history.

Even if you're right, we'll just be sold to some other twat who should never have their hands on a football club.

Just put us out of our misery. Even the kit makers have given up on us. #swfc

This isn't new.

UKIP and the Brexit Party did it.

But boy oh boy the price has gone up

All just makes me feel very sick.

Sheffield Wednesday are decaying, and no-one is doing a thing to prevent it They're supposed to be celebrating their 160th anniversary, but instead a club from the home of football is on the brink and the silence is deafening.

This morning, a long-ish read on Sheffield Wednesday. Feels like no-one's... doing anything about a situation that is getting much worse on a near daily basis.

Arguably the greatest thing ever committed to print

Woke up this morning, opened the blinds and this was there. We must have slept well not to hear it.

SWFC News: 'Extremely concerned' players release statement after tough decision Sheffield Wednesday’s players have released a collective statement where they talk of ‘extreme concern’ at the lack of clarity from the club.

“We’ve made it clear to the club…”

Today I’ve been sent a letter, written by the Sheffield Wednesday players, in which they talk of being ‘extremely concerned’ by the #SWFC’s current situation, and show solidarity with everyone - on the pitch or not. www.thestar.co.uk/sport/footba...

The headline here should say:

"Number of private schools increases by 35 - showing fears of an exodus to be unfounded".

Right to buy in England ‘fuelled housing crisis and cost taxpayers £200bn’ Common Wealth report calls discounted sales of council homes one of the ‘largest giveaways in UK history’

Amazed it took 40 years to reach this conclusion. It was obvious in the 80s, if you bothered to look.

Thatcher used the working-classes' own money to bribe them into voting to destroy their futures, and the Tories have been worshipping her for it ever since.
