Malagaram Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 It's a small world,went into a bar in Benalmadena for a bar lunch the other day and noticed there was a lot of Sheffield Wednesday memorabilia decorating the place,got chatting to the landlord who told me that in the 90's he kept a bar in Louth in lincolnshire,my home town before moving to Spain,so for that reason I will be cheering for Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malagaram Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Oh and the other reason all of my mothers family were Sheffield people who were Wednesday supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Discussing this in the pub last night , nobody seems to be mentioning Reading , they seem to be going into the playoffs as outsiders, a good result at Craven Cottage and they could be dangerous , i for one wont be writing them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Odd isn't it? All four play-off teams have points in the 80s and yet there's a team in there with negative GD and one with a GD of just four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't fancy teams that go up based on winning by the odd goal and being hard to break down. Not in a league where your going to come up Benteke, Rondon, Arnautovic etc. Never mind Hazard and Coutinho. I'd fancy the teams that are more rounded. I never fancied Boro to do much good. They went up after a whole season of never coming back from a losing position didn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only won three all season by more than the odd goal and have only won one by three! I remember asking one of their fans how that happened and supposedly Nakhi Wells (who many were clamouring for on here) has been missing chances for days.

As I've just mentioned, Huddersfield have only won the three game by more than one goal. But even so, I don't think I've ever seen a team have negative GD before.

Bris Vegas Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I honestly can't believe Reading have 85 points. That's how many we got in 2013/14, yet we were miles better than them. I think the lack of draws the top teams have had has majorly boosted their points tally. Reading in particular are so strange though. A 5-0 defeat at Fulham, 7-1 at Norwich, 4-1 at Brentford, 4-1 at Newcastle, 3-0 at Brighton, 3-0 at Preston... Away from home they have a -15 GD. How are they 3rd? I wouldn't be surprised to see Fulham all but end the tie this weekend, winning 4-1 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Reading are one of the worst sides I've seen this season and with that said..... They will probably win the playoffs as more often than not the best team doesn't win in this format, as we are all too aware. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Both Reading and Sheffield Wednesday have produced disciplined defensive performances which have proved difficult to crack. this gives them a platform to go on and win. not sure we could do that with our 433.
