Scores

 

High Scores, great victories, morale sapping defeats in League and Cup.
Where the opposition name is in CAPITALS, Wednesday were playing at home.
The 5th column gives Wednesday's league position when the match was played.
The final column is the attendance (where known)

1. League :- High scores by Wednesday and opposition.
It says a lot about Wednesday's decline that Wednesday have only scored 6 or more goals in a game once since 1990, while they have conceded 6 or more on 5 occasions.

3. Great Cup Scores.

Nice to see Man Utd in our list of top F.A. victories not once, but twice.
Our biggest F.A. Cup defeat came at the hands of Blackburn Rovers in the Final - though we were non-league at the time.
Not sure what it is about Stockport and the League Cup, but they turn up three times. We stuffed them twice and were beaten by them 5-3 when we were in the first (though we were playing in the blue Arsenal strip then and probably deserved it.
