The Midlands side equalised late through Matty Cash to lose 2-1 on the night in France, though that took the aggregate scoreline to 3-3 and with the away goals rule having long since been eradicated from European football the tie to extra-time and then penalties. Argentine World Cup winner Martinez, who kept two clean sheets in 15 appearances for the Owls while on loan from Arsenal during the 2013/14 season and was regularly kept out of the side by Chris Kirkland, has become something of a...
John Terry has been lambasted for undermining Andre Villas-Boas after a revealing story about player power at Chelsea. During his time as captain, Terry led a dressing room full of strong personali
Leeds United have been sent a play-off warning by former Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill as they stare down the barrel of the Championship’s showpiece lottery. The Whites still have a chance of securing automatic promotion, but with Ipswich Town only needing four points from games against Coventry City and Huddersfield Town, it looks as though it could be a long shot. Daniel Farke’s men have been left praying for a Coventry City win on Tuesday night to remain ahead in the race heading into the...
The former Leeds United coach spoke glowingly pre-match of the sense of occasion he expected at S6 and made a point of explaining the relative indifference in form between the two sides. A sold-out Hillsborough roared Wednesday to a victory that took the Owls a place further up the Championship table and three points clear of the drop zone. A single point at Sunderland on the final day will secure safety. The Baggies meanwhile needed a win to all-but secure a play-off place. Defeat leaves them...
Sheffield Wednesday are preparing for one of the biggest games of their season, facing relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers away from home this weekend. The Owls are currently one point from safety, and they will desperately want to avoid falling further behind further behind with just two games to play. Elsewhere in the Championship, the race for two play-off spots remains open, while four teams are still competing for two automatic promotion spots. This weekend promises to be another huge round...
Unai Emery was booked in the first half of Aston Villa's match on Thursday night. The yellow card came after a furious exchange with Lille boss Paulo Fonseca. If Erik ten Hag wins the FA Cup with Man United, does he deserve to keep his job? Listen to the
The Owls have been chasing the pack above them for months now, consistently relying on favours from other teams in order to try and make progress up the league table, but that is no longer the case. A five game unbeaten run, including three big wins, has put Wednesday in charge of their own destiny, leaving them needing just a point away at Sunderland in order to confirm their Championship status, and Röhl admits that it’s a nice position to be in after what they’ve invested since his arrival at...
Sheffield Wednesday’s rivals have been dug out by their own manager ahead of this weekend’s defining final weekend. Wednesday gave themselves a big shot at survival with a huge win over West Brom last time out, moving three points clear of the drop zoine but with a much inferior goal difference. The Owls can guarantee safety with a point against Sunderland this weekend, while either of Birmingham City or Plymouth Argyle failing to win will also do the trick. Birmingham face playoff hopefuls...
Wednesday need just a point against Sunderland this coming weekend in order to pull off what would certainly be a great escape, with Danny Röhl having come in and completely turned around the club’s fortunes in the space of a few months. Harkes, who spoke of a desire to work at Wednesday at some point in his interview with Responsible Gambling, believes that the Owls just need to be resilient now after what has been a very difficult season. The American said, "Danny Röhl has come from Germany,...
Wednesday will require a win to guarantee they enter the final day of the season outside of the bottom three, while the Baggies need a win to all-but confirm their place in the play-offs. It’s the hosts that have the better form and as pointed out by visiting manager Carlos Corberan pre-match, a table taken from the last 25 matches has them only three points apart. Both sides will be roared on by sold-out allocations at Hillsborough. West Brom are set to bring 2,400 supporters to South...
Andrea Cambiaso has insisted that he is happy at Juventus despite rumours
One football pundit has been speaking about Sheffield Wednesday and the impact of one of their key man following a huge win on Sunday. The Owls picked up a statement win over relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers, winning 3-1 at Ewood Park to climb out of the bottom three. Danny Rohl’s men now have a palpable chance of survival even if they have a lot of work still to do with two games remaining. Josh Windass kicked off the scoring in Lancashire, continuing his impact following his return from...
