ozzie owls head
Is it just me imagining things or does anyone remember ozzie owls head falling off some years ago. I think it was on sky and a hone game about 15 to 18 years since. Ozzie was in the net and made a save but fell over and the head fell off revealing the fella inside. Was well funny. No one I asked remembers it. OTO

What stories have legs?
Alright guys, not been able to come on the site as of late, been rather busy.
Anyhow, im seeing we've been linked with a load of new players, no surprise there. Some of them more surprising than others.
However, as ive not been able to look into them in any great depth recently i wondered if any of you could shed some light over which rumours could have legs and which are total BS?
Ive seen recently Becchio, Klasnic and Mcdonald to name a few. It looks like Gardener is close to signing too.
So, which rumours may have something in them? And which are simply wishful thinking
cheers, UTO

"Bog - off United?"
While we all like to hear the rousing & admirable chant: "This city is ours," not everyone is comfortable with the use of the F word. Perhaps those who prefer to avoid the F word could use "Bog - off" instead? Its pithy & appropriate.
I realise I will face much ridicule & abuse in making this suggestion, but who cares!
When I was a lad, use of the F word was rare and in fact shocking. Today, the word is everywhere and its use does not really cause offence. Yet older people & kiddies might be better suited with the alternative.
It is interesting that the C word seems to have gone the other way: you rarely hear it these days. Perhaps someone at the university should do a thesis on the changing attitudes to "cossing"!

Welcome to Hillsborough!
Sheffield Wednesday are delighted to report that a MASSIVE 20 per cent of Season Tickets sold for the 2012-13 campaign have been to new purchasers.
As Season Tickets sold head rapidly to the 13,000-mark, the Owls will welcome at least 2,500 new holders for what promises to be an exciting Championship campaign.
Overall, the club have already exceeded last term's Season Ticket tally - with more than two months still to go before the big kick-off in August.
Almost 10,000 Owls fans committed to buying their Season Tickets during the Early Bird renewal period at the beginning of the year and following promotion, Wednesday have experienced huge demand for next term.
SWFC chairman Milan Mandaric said: "There is a huge feelgood factor around this club at the moment. One chapter has closed and now another one begins.
"We need as many people on board for what I am sure will be another incredible season at Sheffield Wednesday."
Remember, buying a Season Ticket not only guarantees entry to every home Championship game, the superb savings on offer represent the equivalent of SIX GAMES FREE based on match by match prices.
Adult prices start from just £365, or just £15.87 per game. Click here for full details.
The second deadline for 2012-13 Season Tickets is Saturday 16 June, after which current discounts will no longer be valid.
Everyone at Hillsborough would like to thank Wednesdayites old and new for their magnificent support.

Owls Reap The Reward Of Medical Expertise
Sheffield Star:
PLAYERS, Dave Jones and Milan Mandaric have rightly taken plaudits for the Owls’ promotion.
But the physiotherapy and medical department have played their part as well, a club review shows.
Wednesday’s record in keeping players fit and nursing players back after injuries is believed to be the best in the country. There were also some remarkable recoveries, for example Nicky Weaver and Jermaine Johnson made comebacks ahead of schedule.
And the diagnosis and management of the shoulder problem suffered by Michail Antonio made sure he was able to stay on the field against Carlisle and score his vital injury-time winner in the third-from-last game of the season - a moment that was pinpointed by Dave Jones as pivotal in the final push for the Championship.
So it has been a satisfying time for head physio Paul Smith. “We have averaged 91.5 per cent for player availablity in my three years with the club,” he told The Star.
“That equates to 8.5 per cent of the wage bill being lost to injuries, which is low in comparison to other clubs. I think If I had been able to guarantee that when I joined the club then my salary would have been a bit higher than it is!”
The availability percentage is worked out via an equation that includes the number of players, the number of games played and the number of games that were missed by the players as a group over the 10-month working year.
Smith said: “I spoke to a Premier League physio last week and when I told him our stats his words were: ‘Those will be the best in the country.’
“Importantly for us, we have brought down the injuries that we like to think we can have an impact on and help prevent, and non-contact muscular problems have been brought down for the third year running.
“Looking at some individuals, Nicky Weaver was supposed to be out for 12 to 14 weeks; he was only out for nine. We were told by the specialist that Jermaine Johnson would be out for eight weeks; he was out for five.”
A fall by Antonio during that key game against Carlisle raised a different kind of problem: would his sore shoulder allow him to continue?
“We were pleased with how we managed that,” admits Smith. A lot of supporters have asked me about him: what I said to them was that the easiest thing for us to do would have been just to bring him off.
“The hardest thing was making a decision, in around a minute and a half, on whether he was going to be able to continue and complete the game. We had a big concern about what damage he may have done in the fall.
“The first thing you think is: ‘Has he dislocated his shoulder?’ He said no, it was still in place. Then you ask has it popped out and gone back in again? He said no.
“Then we’re thinking: ‘Has he fractured his collar bone?’ He was getting some pain but we couldn’t feel a deformity.
“Then you’re thinking about the join between the shoulder blade and the collar bone. That’s when we realised that was the area he’d damaged, though again we couldn’t feel any deformity.
“We established he hadn’t ruptured the ligaments, so we let him play on. It’s a matter of using your experience and skill to the benefit of the team. He was obviously in some discomfort; it seemed to be getting better as the game went on. Then he sticks the winner in, in the 95th minute, and the lads jump on him and make the problem worse! That’s when he had to come off. But he was able to complete the rest of the season, though we had to sacrifice his long throws - they would have made his shoulder worse.”
Smith added: “We have managed to reduce the rate of recurring injuries, compared to most previous regimes, which is down to experience, knowing the player and the injury and what he needs to do to get back.
“After three good years, hopefully we’ll have another good one next year. We’re expecting one some time when things aren’t going so well: you get the injuries you can’t prevent, long-term ones that knock your stats out, but we’ll cross that bridge if it happens.”
Smith is appreciative of club doctor Richard Higgins, who is also the England Under 21 medic and will be attached to Team GB for the Olympics: “He does a great job for us. He’s experienced and knowledgeable and we’re lucky to have him.”
It is a compliment returned, when Dr Higgins says: “Paul has been fantastic. Part and parcel of the team doing so well has been the fact that there have been so many players available.”
