I'm not sure I quite understand what happened today. Sheffield Wednesday have not won on the first day of the season since 1996. Within 30 seconds we were 1-0 from Marcus Tudgay. Then 2-0 up then there was the familiar sinking feeling of the opposition pulling one back. By now 6 minutes of the match had been played. How was this possible? Wednesday lost the first 6 matches of last season and within 6 minutes we we're in the lead!! By the 17th minute we were 3-1 up and then disaster. Sadly Sodje limped off after 20 minutes and the momentum dropped from that time. I'm hoping he was only taken off as a precaution because we Wednesday fans know how much he was missed last season. Leon Clarke replaced him. Leon has lost pounds since I last saw him. Unfortunately it has all disappeared from his brain. He may be shit but he's our shit and fast becoming a Wednesday cult hero. Ironic cheering on as the ball bounces of him and he trundles after it like a spastic child running for a shiny object. Halftime brought tea's and confused faces as we tried to fathom what had just happened in our seemingly waterproof ground. Tudgay rounded off the day with his second and our 4th of the game. Like Oliver Reed in a wine cellar, the clarets disappeared. We were by no means brilliant but Burnley didn't play that badly. A hope has started to flicker inside. Bring on the Wolves.

Oh we did Pog, we did. It may never happen again. Especially because when we scored our second that meant we were top and United were bottom ;D
Confident you can beat us? Plymouth gave you a battle but you came back.

Enjoy it while it lasts hey, i do think you'll have reasonable season and will probably be just outside the playoffs.
We looked good going forward, but our defence was a bit vulnerable. We have a game against Accrington on Tuesday at Home which will probably do us good. I'm always confident at home whoever the opposition, should be a good game.

Our strikers seem on good form (Sodje aside now). Midfield looks a little stronger now and it took a long time for the defence to start playing today but I'm hopeful they will be as strong as they were last season. I'm hoping the win pushes the takeover through a bit quicker now. We've got a tough home game against Rotherham on Tuesday. No doubt they'll want to kick lumps off us to take out their frustrations so I'm hoping the team will still be in tact when we come down to see you next Sat.

His record wasn't that great with us either we beat you on penalties! ;D there were signs of progress today, we created enough 1st half to have won the game but 1 loss of concentration and that was that! Commons is class, Ploppy, son of Ploppy on the other wing played well and we were alright at the back til Stubbs got injured - we're still a few weeks away from being competitive i reckon.

Evening Hana Bo Bana Fana You lost today didn't you? Hello there. We did. Still, there's promise there, only the first match, and as long as we're not playing as shite as we did in the first half in 10 matches, then we'll be OK! Well. Hopefully.

LOL ;D I was always taught that football wasn't about pleasure and that if I didn't behave myself I'd have to go back to Hillsborough the week after. As you can see I must be a very naughty girl ;D
