Blimey! Who'd have thought it. Cinderella came to the ball.

Our gaffer says

You won't catch Dour Dave getting carried away by a win at Wednesday on a dry Tuesday night, oh no, there's a game Sat'di. C'mon, crack on:

"Don't ever turn your noses up at a proper away win…didn't really create enough but we found a way... Let's get right back on it Thursday morning."

Hah, the masks slips:

"I'm not bothered who we get. It'll be whatever it will be. Is it the last 16? Oh, wow."

Their gaffer says

Hapless Henrik is as blind as he can be, just sees what he wants to see and he can't see any Town fans at all:

"The crowd I could hear was the crowd behind us."

Well, dear Owlers, how do you expect to survive past 2025 when you're Nordic Nowhere Man has only one ear and one eye:

"We had a big chance and two early injuries, big big discipline and big big courage…I'm proud of what they have done tonight, the boys have showed who they are, it was a very equal game."

Yeah, whatever, probably best to rent and not buy.

Us

Hard work makes life easy.

The perfect opponents for Artellball were dealt with perfectly well. Pym was a spectator and when, by chance, two Wednesday passes did meet Bunny Warren made sure the ball landed in the street.

Town did enough, for enough was enough to beat Wednesday's Boycott Cup team

Them

A bunch of kids beaten by professional men being professional.

There's a constant chill deep inside Hillsborough. The bell tolls for Sheffield Wednesday, it tolls for thee the longer you're stuck with Chansiri. There's nothing to say that hasn't been said already, we've seen this play before.

An ailing ancient oak of English football, slowly dying as time marches on. If they are lucky we'll be playing them next year.

Grimsby 'til I die... or cry?

Mustn't grumble.

Official warning

Mr E Bell

He blew the whistle to start the game. He blew the whistle to end the game. In between he blew his whistle. Motions have to be gone through: 7.501
