Agreed. Add up to 10 overs per day to cover previous time lost.  

Agreed, unless it's us 9 down trying to see out a draw. 🙃

Having said all of that, how f****** appropriate that we should lose the last, and most important, game of the season to a poor refereeing decision

This 100%

Serms like good ol' Britain has made a pig's ear of its Broadband network.

Last time i was working in Italy, the WiFi in the factory seemed fast, so I did a speed check, ...... it was over 300mbs!

FTFY

Couldn't give a toss about Fester TBH.

Utd 5th and Forest relegated, nice!

Weather has ultimately done us.

It'll be a minor miracle if we can pull this off.

What a pity the sub couldn't hold on to that chance!

This is going to the wire, lets hope we're on the right side at the end.

Tough chance, but disappointing.

I'd settle for a fluky hat trick doing the job!

Arrgh, Wright dropped

It's not happening at the moment!

My problem with BT was that their left-hand didn't have a clue what their right-hand was doing.

They couldn't get the feed to our local man-hole due to a blockage in the duct feeding it, but Open Reach hadn't told the domestic installation team and they kept sending tech's* round to do the final installation (when no fiber was at the property). No joke, I bet they sent six different blokes round over a period of two months!!!

When they did get their act together at last, it only worked for 24 hours then went down completely. The first bloke they sent round was fecking hopeless, he hadn't got a clue (who employs these losers)? The following day a young lady tech* came round and had it working in 10 minutes, its been fine since.

*It's a pet hate of mine, but as an engineer, I refuse to incorrectly call technicians 'engineers'. You wouldn't call a health-worker a doctor, so why devalue the profession? 😡

Leicester are still batting in their first innings here...............

Bleedin 'ell the 'live' video feed is miles behind.

Unlucky guys, I genuinely couldn’t see you slipping up but sadly that’s how it goes. Hopefully Posh can do Wednesday now and if we do similar to Barnsley we won’t have to worry about the hoardes of Rams or Owls fans we’d face at Wembley because I don’t think many Wanderers fans can afford two trips to Wembley in one season. For what it’s worth it may not be a hardship for you leaving it another year to get up. You were limited in the players you could sign and late in the season it’s showed but give Warne a chance to build and you’ll certainly be pushing for the automatics next season and with a much stronger situation behind you. We’re also being pretty pragmatic about the play offs and it may also be a year early for us too so we may be challenging again next year also. Not much coming down so if it is Wendies going up it’s all to play for for both of us. Hopefully we’ll make it, on our day we can beat any of the others so we’ll just wait and see. Sorry you missed out this time but best of luck for next year, you’re far too big a club to be kicking round this level. 😉

I can't see Wednesday getting promoted on that showing. Hopefully neither of the SY sides will prevail.

Yesterday, Mrs Admira and I had our final screen test to appear on the A Place in the Sun TV show. Should hear if we were successful in a week or two and if so, they fly us over to France for a week in mid June.

First things first though, off to Hawaii Friday morning then LA, San Francisco and Vegas.

Belfast in June, South of France again in August, Dublin September, Benidorm also September and Tallinn for Christmas.

Lyon and Bali booked for next year so far.

If anyone has any 'must see or do's in that lot, let me know please.

What's everyone else up to? 

Any chance of you helping Clowes to sign Messi with whats left from your Lottery win? 😉

We (eventually) got our fibre broadband installed about 12 months ago on a BT contract. The original process was an absolute nightmare. BT/Open Reach must have some of the worst internal communications in the world, which must be hard for a telecoms business?

Once they did get it sorted its been absolutely fine. Not particularly fast, but fast enough for our relatively low usage.

Theyve just hiked the price, however, so I'm looking to swap as soon as the 18 month contract is up.

The double entendre excepted, I think she comes across as one of the more palatable MPs. 
Thin list I know.

Just recovering in London after pulling an all-nighter at the Mall.

Great atmosphere but the rain drove us off after the journey to the Abbey.

Still glad we went.

Mordant is easy on the eye. Forget her politics tho, she's as bad as the rest of the rotten lot.

I'm not going to vouch for the validity of the data, as I'm sure there's lots of ways to calculate it, but how many of the top 10 have a monarchy drawing in the visitors? 

I'm sure everyone goes to Thailand to see the monarch?

Could be worse, you could have raised a Man United fan.

I'd insist the 'offspring' takes a DNA test.

Are we allowed to mow the wicket in between innings? 😉

5th could be ours now.

I blame Dobbin for missing so many sitters. 😉

FFS, just play your best team, its not fecking rocket science.

What do you expect, its Yorkshire. The only good thing to come out of it, is the road to Derbyshire.

To be fair, my old fella used to add "and a bit of decent steel from Sheffield" to that statement, but I'm not sure that is even true nowadays, (as it all seems to come from China)?

I know, I'm forever moaning about it on here but to no avail.

Actually,  the away facilities have been rubbish at a lot of grounds this season, but some are poorly supported clubs. Sheffield Wednesday have no such excuse.

I was told by someone I trust very well who is a bit of an insider at Weds that it is their deliberate policy not to modernise or make the away end too comfortable for the fans. Others on here have said it's a ridiculous idea, but I know who I believe.
