Wednesday missives with a transatlantic accent | Cofounder @owlsamericas | Occasionally upbeat given 30+yrs opposing evidence #SWFC

We had Bannan.

And for that we should be eternally grateful. True club legend in every sense.

@KelhamBrewery @GarrettOliver Please leave some here! 🙋🏻‍♂️

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

Might be mid-Atlantic but can feel the pride in #swfc from a thousand miles away today. Fans, players and coaches showing what this club and community is about, even if everything else is against us. SO much potential there for a capable ownership team. Well played all.

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

I can’t muster the words any more.

No one, ever, should be signing off that design with a line clean through the owl.

Sums up this debacle of an era. They’ve even managed to fumble bringing back an iconic badge #swfc

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@YesWeCrann Would only amend the ‘Right now’ to ‘For the last 30 years’ 😢

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

Note the ‘I’ in this statement… The wider board of Owls Americas respectfully (strongly) disagrees ;)

[Owls Americas @owlsamericas]

I like it! Nice to have something done right this summer!

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@MattSummerhill Exactly the same thought process this morning Matt. Didn’t realize you went to All Saints also. It’s heartbreaking. Thinking of everyone - and hoping practical steps can be taken to support and to protect.

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@Maplo16 @NorthYorksOwls @PoultonOwl @NewYorkOwls Hey guys. Still here but rarely active - LMK how we can help though. Bluesky is a far happier place and without the nonsense, but realize not everyone’s made the move.

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@richardfidler To sell he needs a buyer and to accept a reasonable price. Both are unlikely - any prospective buyer knows the value is low, and he’s pathogenically unable to accept that he’s run the place into the ground. Admin far more likely I’m afraid.

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@jellycat1966 @Goose_Creative @swfc Did a grand job too.

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

Beyond the pre-ordering nonsense.

My OCD can’t handle that @swfc have screwed up the logo (L).

I didn’t draw this a million times for this nonsense.

- CONSTANT Stroke width on the back
- NO curve into the claw
- Tail should rise to meet the arc of the chest.. (R)

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@Goose_Creative @swfc Love this level of tracking down / obsession with detail :)

Yep - can live with the claw, though the tail here follows the chest line. And definitely constant stroke thickness.

That program looks higher definition than the latest interpretation was done in btw…

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@Runningowl77 @swfc Only my OCD - there are I admit bigger things to worry about.

Just could do / be so much better…

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@QPRnewyorkcity Please no.

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

Can’t take set pieces.
Can’t deal with set pieces.
Long road ahead #swfc

(And total waste of an exquisite finish from Bannan - deserved so much better)

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

‘Once more, … etc.’
Let’s go again @NewYorkOwls @owlsamericas #swfc

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

Simply outstanding weekend - irrespective of the result. So fortunate to be surrounded by this amazing (and ever expanding) crew. Love our OA family #swfc

[Owls Americas @owlsamericas]

Another successful OA AWAY in the books. As always our fans do us proud. Halifax, Nova Scotia will remember those 30+ Wednesday fans that turned up this weekend. Thanks everyone! #swfc

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

@Lewy_C Trying - it’s never easy with us though… 🙃

[James Allen @ManhattanOwl]

Hard to follow today, so no comment on the game / performance. But that set of results is almost terminal. Huge huge ask now #swfc
