Met him when he brought his rock school to my school - lovely man still playing to the end

Bobby Smith was a revelation - overweight and slow but was the most skilful player on the pitch and almost guaranteed us a goal every match he played.

I was at Norman's match with my Dad - to see him clowning on a football pitch was hilarious.

I remember (along with many others I suspect) saying who??? when he was our first premier league signing. Then he scored our first goal! Upwards and upwards since then. Pascal - thanks for the memories and good luck for the future.

Been like that for some time and the reason I cancelled my membership.

Last night seemed very much the tactics that worked in Primary School - pick the eleven best players (in the coach's opinion) no matter where they played and hoof the ball as far as possible into the opponent's half. Didn't seem to work last night though...

On a Mac, hold the U key down - it will give you a numbered choice of U with different accents. Works on Word for Mac fine

That's what I understood too - change it or we'll sue. Assume our current badge is fully copyrighted.

Currently in N Wales and will be watching with grandsons who are born here so no choice. Hope they’ll translate for me though!

Having witnessed BHA managers since Billy Lane I am in awe of our recruitment in the Premier League years. CH was just what we needed to grind out results and stay in the league and when the time was right, GP to change our style, then RdZ comes in to add ruthlessness and belief. Each an upgrade...

Use the rugby methods -visible clock with the ref able to stop the clock when play is not continuous; show the VAR on screen and broadcast the ref's discussion with the VAR officials. It works well but can't see FIFA adopting such a simple approach.

Just renewed mine online. Had an issue with the photograph (I have naturally hooded eyes which register as closed on automatic cameras) but once I explained that got my new passport back in a week. So unusual to compliment a government service!

Traditionally Albion wore white shorts; they adopted the kit and 'Albion' because they were told at the time "I want you to play like West Bromwich Albion", who were the top team at the time (So Revie changing Leeds kit from blue and yellow so they could 'play like Real Madrid' was well behind...
