The man mountain centre-half recently made his 50th appearance in his first season as captain at Mansfield Town in League Two. In his 52nd, the Stags beat Accrington Stanley 2-1 to secure promotion to League One after 17 years away. The win came thanks to goals from Wednesday fan George Maris and former Sheffield United midfielder Stephen Quinn. It sparked huge celebrations at Field Mill, where a sold-out crowd stormed the field in scenes of a year ago when Flint played a starring role in the...
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 climbed out of the bottom three for the first time since Röhl’s arrival over the weekend, beating Blackburn Rovers 3-1 at Ewood Park to give themselves a real shot of staving off the drop and another season in League One. The German has overseen a remarkable turnaround after the Owls’ worst ever start to a season, and McCoist believes that he’s ‘transformed’ the team during his spell in charge. "What a story that is at Sheffield Wednesday!" McCoist said, as quoted by Football League...
The Owls battered promotion-chasing West Brom to earn their second win on the spin and stretch their end-of-season unbeaten run to five. They leapfrogged Plymouth Argyle into 20th place and with results elsewhere in the survival scrap going their way, it means a draw at Sunderland next weekend will secure second tier status from the depths of a 12-point deficit in November. Goals from Anthony Musaba, Ike Ugbo and Josh Windass did the business on an afternoon that they shut the Baggies down...
Sheffield Wednesday will make the trip to Blackburn Rovers’ Ewood Park on Sunday knowing that the time for trip-ups is long since past. A remarkable resurgence from the depths of a worst-ever start to the campaign has given them the chance to stay in the Championship against all odds, with with their manager suggesting even 50 points may not be enough for survival this season, the task remains a stuff one. But they’ll be roared on by over 7,000 travelling fans in Lancashire against a side four...

Six years ago, in September 2017, Metropolitan Police Department Officer Sean Lojacono searched two people on the same day. In both instances, about 30 minutes apart, Lojacono used the same […]
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...
Imagine trying to start your life over on an empty stomach. There’s a training centre in Sheffield that shows a simple kindness to its learners. It’s not everyone, but some of the people who pass through the doors of Momentum Recruitment on Scotland Street will be in a bad way. They could have been out of employment for months, lost for structure or routine, desperately short on funds, and hoping a new qualification will get their lives back on track. It turns out the remedy to all that starts...
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...
