Hello From the Other Side 25/26 - Southampton (h)
Last Thursday at 9:00 PM

Dan is joined by  @FootballMartin_  for a look ahead to this weekend’s clash between Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton — a match that could have huge implications at both ends of the table.


With Sheffield Wednesday staring relegation in the face following confirmation at Bramall Lane last weekend, the question is whether the Owls will respond by playing with freedom and nothing to lose, or if their struggles will continue at Hillsborough.


Meanwhile, Southampton arrive full of confidence, unbeaten since 17 January and enjoying an impressive run of form. Can the Saints pile on the pressu...

We also get into Wednesday’s response, the late dismissal of Gabriel Otegbayo, and the Gustavo Hamer kick-out that could yet bring retrospective FA action.

Joining us is Alex Miller from the Sheffield Star, who gives his take on the big incidents, the turning points, and...

02/18/2026

Chris Wilder is BACK at Sheffield United… but is this a masterstroke — or a step backwards?

After the Ruben Selles experiment fell apart and a nightmare start to the season, the Blades have turned to a familiar face. But can Wilder really fix things, or are United stuck looking backwards while the game moves on?

In this heated Steel City football debate, a Sheffield Wednesday fan puts a Sheffield United supporter under pressure — questioning expectations, identity, and whether the Wilder era still has magic left in it.

🔥 Is Wilder the only man who understan...
