For many, Christmas in Sheffield doesn't start until Joe Carnall's Christmas party has taken place... So we thought - in the spirit of festivity - we'd take him for a pint at Fagan's for this week's 'All Wednesday' and talk about his love for Sheffield Wednesday - and why on earth he's wearing that massive coat inside.

00:00It's been something that's been going on for a while hasn't it, your whole life?
00:04That's it, yeah. You're born into it aren't you?
00:06Absolutely.
00:07You don't have any control over it and that's kind of the way it should be I think for any football fan.
00:12Yeah.
00:13Touching on that, it's obviously not a Wednesday thing but you know the way football's gone now
00:18and there is a lot more people choosing their teams for one way or another, it's...
00:24Not having it.
00:25It's not right is it?
00:26Not having it. You see kids obviously running around in Manchester City shirts and Chelsea shirts
00:32and I get wanting to be in the kit of your best player, your favourite player, no problem with that
00:38but you're not a Chelsea fan mate.
00:40No.
00:41You don't choose, I'm sorry.
00:42Unless you've got a genuine reasoner, because there are genuine reasoners aren't there?
00:46There is, yeah.
00:47People move away and then you support who your parents support and things like that.
00:52I get that but I just don't, and I think it probably hits home in the city more so with ours
00:58because there is, well I say with ours, with Wednesday, there is no reason that you would
01:03unless it's forced upon you.
01:05If you're talking about the other side of the city, we've been bang average or less for 24 years now
01:12and all they've done is they've had excitement, I mean they've had some troughs as well
01:17so in terms of getting the youth to support Wednesday, it's incredible how we still sustain such a fan base
01:23because they've been so bad when you compare it to them, they've been up and down and they've had some glamour haven't they?
