Jingle bells...

Oh what fun it is to sing when Wednesday win away, hey!
I'm still feeling a touch hung over after last night's footballing entertainment. And it was... entertaining. Very. Oh yes.
Second leg of the play-off semi-finals at Brentford. 1-0 up after the first leg. Stage all set for another Wednesday disappointment. Amazingly, they didn't stick to the script.
Lee Peacock scored a blinding header after about half an hour, and we could easily have been 3-0 up by that stage. Despite the fact that we were playing well and Brentford didn't look very threatening, it was impossible not to be worried still. We're so good at throwing leads away.
Even when we went two up on the night, and three overall, thanks to a deflected free kick from Chris Brunt, I couldn't relax. And sure enough we let in an 87th minute goal. But fortunately it was too little, too late for the home team, and it's Wednesday who are off to Cardiff.
Cue much celebration from the Sheffield contingent.
And it seemed very rude not to go back down the pub for a little more celebration. Three pints of pre-match anaesthetic, and three pints of celebration, and the hangover was well earned.
Next stop - the Millennium Stadium a week on Sunday. Yes yes yes yes yes yes!
