Capital One Cup: Fulham FC

A surprising transfer happened in the build up to this game, as Diogo Amado who only signed last month, was sold to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia Futebol. Home sickness being the reason given.

As the teams were announced one thing was for certain, Fulham were taking Wednesday seriously, naming a first 11 regularly seen in the Premier League. The Owls also fielded a strong line-up, including the fit again Gary Madine. So, to the action...

nPower Championship: Millwall FC

The highest Championship crowd of the day witnessed a game that again showed the Owls' determination and 'comebackability'.

The ever-improving Jermaine Johnson started with a performance that will strike fear into all Championship defences, concluding his mazy run with a rocket of a right-footed strike, flying past the keeper and opening the scoring for the day.

nPower Championship: Birmingham City

Well there's only one place to start today isn't there - a certain Barcelona B player, Rodri, signing for the Owls on a season long loan, with the a purchase option at the end. Yes, you read that correctly. Read it again! Oh how things change, Dave Jones really does have global connections.

Now, to the game.

Birmingham City come to Hillsborough for the Owls first home game of the Championship season. Pre - match I was happy if we were to end the 90mins with a point, as the visiting Blues have a Premiership pedigree and a strong side that will undoubtedly do well this season.

nPower Championship: Derby County

Here it is, finally. The start of the new campaign in a higher division. The nPower Championship welcomes the Blue & White of Sheffield Wednesday. Teams can expect a 'massive' following at their grounds, with a full voice Wednesday-faithful army behind the team.

Capital One Cup: Oldham Athletic

 Oldham Athletic v SWFC:

Fortunately for us armchair supporters, Sky Sports decided this fixture would be televised - and what a great decision it was! The build up was full of hugely optimistic tweets and texts about a resounding Wednesday win. By half time, we were desperate not to be crashing at the first hurdle.

Now all Wednesdayite's know that when we are on TV, we tend to under perform - the dreaded 'Sky Curse'.

Pre-season 2012/2013

After the high of a sold out Hillsborough witnessing a fantastic promotion clinching game against Wycombe Wanderers FC, the fans were treated to a holiday in Portugal for the Pre-season work out that would prepare the team for the Championship.

Introduction

This blog contains the views of me, a Sheffield Wednesday armchair supporter! I don't attend matches week in, week out - I'm not one of the travelling 'massive' that invade countless away grounds. It doesn't stop me having my views on the club I have supported for over 20 years though. I don't mind being told by other Wednesdayite's that I'm not a real fan for my lack of money going through the turnstiles, if that makes them feel all high and mighty then so be it. When my opinion gets discarded for it though, that's when I get defensive - and I'm sure it's the same for others not able to plough money into the club they love... afterall - We're All Wednesday Aren't We?

I'm a regular on Twitter (@SE_MJS) and I have to say, there's some vile Wednesday fans on there. Shoving it down fans' throats that they attend every home and away game so they are the cream of the crop as far as Wednesday fans are concerned. Now, don't get me wrong - I admire their dedication being able to do that, but when you start being abusive towards people that aren't able to do that then you quickly lower yourself in my estimations. The words "When you go to as many games as me, then I'll listen to you" are the type that frequently get typed by many of these people. *Unfollow*. Opinions are what make the game we love, greater. As diverse as some are, they all count and all make for an interesting read. This is the blog of one of the so called Armchair Supporters, I hope you enjoy!
