For starters, let me say i hate this new way to name the leagues. Calling them Division 1, 2 and 3 made alot more sense. None the less...
Its nearly that time again! The season for us lot kicks off next weekend, after, for me, what seemed like a long summer, and i for one cant wait for the season to start.
As always, i have my season ticket and im pretty confident of what The Owls can achieve this season, im just hoping this season can be the one where the rot stops, and we gain promotion. We have a whole new team almost. We released 15 players last season, and signed 11 this, including ex Southampton captain Chrissy Marsden, and then a squad of good young players who all look the part to go with him
We have 2 friendlies left against the Bolton and Everton, and in our previous friendlies we have looked good.
I know there are a number of you lot who support teams in the lower leagues, so lets not let this forum be over run by Premiership talk and such. After all, our clubs are just as important as the bigger clubs.
So what are your hopes and fears for the new season? Who you looking forward to playing the most?
Up the Owls!!

Derby Weekend!
Owls play Barnsley at Hillsborough on Sunday, 2pm, which is when most of our derby games are played these days because of 'suspected crowd trouble'. Though it never really happens.
Not had a game in 2 weeks, so Sturrock has had a good length of time to get his ideas into there heads, and now is time to put them into use.
Im expecting a win *touch wood* because we need the points, and i have too many friends who support the tykes to even consider losing.

We were awful tonight, but still managed all three points. I'm not sure how, for the first time this season the ref gave us two big decisions; one right one wrong. Sending off for a second bookable to the other team, diving; it looked like a foul. Penalty at the death; definite.
Though when banded together with the performance, its three points clearer of relegation, not three points closer to the play-offs. We need all three on next Saturday away to Hereford; certainly no easy task.

I cannot believe what I read on the BBC's Ceefax pages a little earlier on...
Subject to agreeing personal terms and passing a medical, Welsh striker Christian Roberts looks set to leave Ashton Gate for Championship side Cardiff City, in need of a new striker after Rob Earnshaw left for West Brom.
And no, that's not the worst part...
We were badly ripped off with the Scott Murray sale, I feel - even though we got him back in the long run - but, just how much is being exchanged this time?
£20,000!!!
(...with the fee rising to £30,000, 'pending appearences and that.)
Didn't Cardiff get the best part of £5m for Earnshaw?
Why can't we hold 'em to ransom for more of that - seeing as they have money; we don't, and Roberts, as a goal-scorer, is one of our most-valued prized assets?!
:P
:(

Gravesend (Conference side) will probably have an international call-up. The legendary Essandoh. Was rubbish against us though.
Decided to cut down on the away games for the next two months because i need to get some money for my car (excluding the F.A Cup of course) but they're all 150+ miles anyway.
Were in 14th at the moment, terrible terible terrible. Manager had a confrontation in front of our terrace with about 150 fans, was quite funnehh.

How many league one clubs can boast about having a game called of due to international call ups?
We can! :)
We can! :)
Bradford got all three points yesterday with a 1 - 0 win over Barnsley, although we could have had 5, with Windass getting a hat - trick in the first half, yes he missed three sitters, but when we got a penalty for hand ball he missed it, but it had to be re-taken as the keeper came off his line and then he scored it.
What is clever for some keepers so they don't come off the line stand behind the line and jum forward on to the line, that is what two keepers did on the first game of the season and they both saved the penalty.
