Man United narrowly edged past Coventry on penalties in the FA Cup semi-final. Erik ten Hag was left upset with the criticism of his coaching and United's display. Arne Slot needs to be his own manager. Replacing Jurgen Klopp is an impossible job. Don't try to emulate him - Listen to the
And they’ll likely have talismanic midfielder Barry Bannan involved despite a substitution late on in a win over West Bromwich Albion that sparked fan fears of a possible injury. The Owls skipper left the field in the 77th minute of the Baggies win - he was replaced by Momo Diaby - in what was his 44th appearance of the campaign. Bannan produced a leader’s performance on the day, contributing in both directions as Wednesday took a giant leap towards safety. A point at Sunderland next weekend...
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...
The Owls jumped out of the relegation zone for the first time since August with the win, Josh Windass’ stunning opener cancelled out by Sammie Szmodics’ leveller before a Marvin Johnson effort and a calamity Aynsley Pears own goal earned Danny Röhl’s side a fourth away win in six Championship matches. The defeat reduced Rovers’ gap on the bottom three to three points with two matches to go. And in a defiant press engagement after the match, their manager said: “First half we were well in the...
The promotion-chasing Baggies head to Hillsborough on Saturday knowing a win will all but secure a place in the top six barring an unthinkable goal difference swing in favour of Hull City. Their hosts will have designs on picking up three points themselves of course having climbed out of the bottom three last weekend, sitting one point clear of the drop zone. A whopping 25 points and 16 league positions separate the two sides, who are battling to achieve very different aspirations heading into...
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...
Plymouth Argyle interim boss Neil Dewsnip is still backing his side in the Championship survival fight despite their defeat to Stoke City over the weekend. That loss left Argyle still needing to put points on the board to secure their second-tier status, as they are now just two points above the drop with two games remaining after Sheffield Wednesday’s win, leaving Birmingham City the team occupying the final drop spot. Argyle’s loss to fellow strugglers Stoke City over the weekend means they...
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...
Both Sheffield sides have had a strong campaign in 2023/24, and they headed into the clash at Bramall Lane occupying the two spaces behind leaders, Birmingham City, but with games in hand. Wednesday had one, United three, and a win for either side would see them rise to first place. For years the Blades have been the top dogs on the youth scene in the steel city, so they went into this home game as favourites despite the fact the two teams drew 2-2 at Hillsborough back in October in a game that...
The FA have announced a number of changes to next season's FA Cup competition to strengthen its standing and 'enhance its magic'. Most notably replays from the first round onwards have been scrapped, meaning every tie will be settled over the course of one meeting. At present, replays are in place until the fifth round, but the FA has made the decision to ditch them altogether once Football League teams begin to enter the competition. The latter stages of the FA Cup will also be played over...
The Government is gambling that the first flights to East Africa will have a stark impact on Channel arrivals, and demonstrate to voters that the problem is finally in hand.
The Owls rose out of the bottom three for the first time since August with Sunday’s 3-1 win at Blackburn Rovers and head into the final two matches of the season with their fate in their own hands. Their foremost rivals for their first safety spot are Birmingham City, who sit one spot and one place behind Wednesday heading into a killer clash at Huddersfield Town in 23rd this weekend. News broke in the Midlands media that Blues captain Dion Sanderson has been charged with drink-driving and will...
