Former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper David Stockdale has given his take on an error from Blackburn Rovers stopper Ainsley Pears that helped boost the Owls bid to avoid relegation. Danny Rohl’s side were a goal to the good as the midway point of the second-half approached after Josh Windass and Marvin Johnson netted either side of an equaliser from Rovers top goalscorer Sammie Szmodics. But the game was all but ended as a contest when Pears made a mess on a backpass and allowed the ball to...
Wednesday sold out the three sides of their Hillsborough stadium on Monday afternoon after demand for tickets went through the roof following their big win over Blackburn Rovers at the weekend. The club are hoping to release more tickets, however, as they look into the possibility of opening up the lower tier of the Leppings Lane end to home supporters, and say that an update will be provided ‘in due course’. A statement from the club read, “The Owls’ clash with West Brom on Saturday at...
The German coach has steered Wednesday out of the relegation zone having taken over a side winless in 13 and in the midst of their worst-ever start to a league campaign. With two matches to go the Owls sit a point clear of Birmingham City in 22nd place, with Röhl maintaining the side’s aim is to hunt the places immediately above them in the table rather than to look back at the teams behind. In an interview with the national media last week, the former Bayern Munich assistant boss suggested he...
Sheffield Wednesday secured themselves a big boost in their bid to land Championship safety over the weekend, beating relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers 3-1 away from home to jump above the bottom three with just two games remaining. The Owls are now one point above the bottom three heading into their final two games, but they still have plenty of work still to do. As many as five teams could still end up in the two relegation spots, with those on 50 points or more now likely safe. Blackburn are...
The former president heard firsthand from prospective jurors who could deliver a criminal verdict against him
There were memorable scenes at Ewood Park as Sheffield Wednesday’s supporters celebrated a monumental win against Blackburn Rovers. The Owls were backed by a stunning away following with over 7,300 supporters roaring on Danny Rohl’s men as they boosted their chances of extending their stay in the Championship beyond a solitary season. Goals from Josh Windass and Marvin Johnson coupled with a catastrophic own goal from hosts keeper Aynsley Pears helped Wednesday move out of the relegation zone...
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 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.

News broke in the Midlands media that Blues captain Dion Sanderson has been charged with drink-driving and will...
The Senate starts its impeachment proceedings Wednesday against the Homeland Security secretary over his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. The chamber will turn into a courtroom and senators will be sworn in as jurors. But the trial could be over not long after it begins.
It’s not your imagination—spring allergy season really is getting worse every year. (Thanks, climate change.) Pollen seasons now start 20 days earlier and last 10 days longer than they did in 1990, according to research, and pollen counts are up as well. If you’ve been thinking of each spring’s season as something to just white-knuckle your way through, it may be time to take a different approach.
