    [Albion] Who is your early season SCAPEGOAT?

    It was before that for me. I remember being in the top tier of the away end at Brentford in that mental 3-3 game and going absolutely apoplectic at the lad when we were 2-0 down and have no memory at all of why. He did also lose the ball in the Leicester game (first away match in the PL) in...

    [Albion] Who is your early season SCAPEGOAT?

    Yeah screw Jamie Murray as well.

    [Albion] Who is your early season SCAPEGOAT?

    On the pitch, no. Off the pitch, what a tune we got out of him.

    [Albion] Who is your early season SCAPEGOAT?

    Still pissed off at Jamie Murphy. Can't remember why though but I'll always be annoyed at him.

    [Albion] Enciso is such a ray of sunshine.... not

    100% this. I thought him and Fergie had a very similar, thankless task of pressing very high (which they both did with an incredible amount of effort throughout) only to have next to no support in the next phase from the midfield. He had some really good moments on the ball, and an almost...

    [Albion] Enciso is such a ray of sunshine.... not

    Worth noting as well here how the club were well within their rights to say no. There was in fact an incredibly high-profile instance of this happening this summer. A young man called Kylian Mbappe was keen to lead the French Olympic side into a home tournament only for his club, Real Madrid...

    [Misc] Advertisement. Everywhere. All the time.

    Currently sitting in Rockwater Hove, drinking a Heineken that I paid for with my American Express credit card, before going home (which I've just put on the market with Mansell McTaggart - Mayo Wynne Baxter are sorting the contracts out for me) to cook dinner using vegetables I picked up from...

    [Albion] Away fans in home ends

    Was really thrown in the WSU concourse when a couple asked if they could perch on the shelf next to us in the thickest scouse accents you can imagine, only to see their daughter had an Albion shirt and scarf on. Maybe we've managed to encroach in the NW of England and are now the team glory...

    [Travel] Train disruption Tonight (Cup versus Liverpool)

    Could they do this in reality? 16.5% is the historic figure (12 years ago) of capacity using car parking facilities at the ground. With the closure of Bennett's Field as a club used parking lot and the additional 8k fans, that percentage is likely considerably lower now. Lets say 90% take...

    [Travel] Train disruption Tonight (Cup versus Liverpool)

    This really. And lets be serious, it's not as if the station staff/train companies will happily just open up the gates and let 20,000 people through on the presumption that they've all bought a ticket. Anyone who has experienced trying to get out of Euston after coming back from the north knows...

    [Music] Stuff to die to...

    I once worked in a pub that was run by a big corporation and they didn't allow us to have control over what music was played. We had a box that would play company selected songs over the PA and could only control the volume. During a very sad and sombre wake, the playlist lined up a trio of I...

    [Albion] Brajan Gruda **SINGED 14 Aug 2024**

    I somewhat agree but it was a really funny Adingra performance. He was both the Adingra of old (at his best as you say) and the Adingra who has struggled to win a first team place this season. He at times, looked a world beater, and at times looked like he hadn't played football for a couple of...

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    And I hope he does adapt! He's also not been good enough so far for a significant signing in a big spending summer. Both things can be true at the same time and just because he's taking criticism for some objectively poor performances, doesn't mean he's a scapegoat.

    [Albion] Brajan Gruda **SINGED 14 Aug 2024**

    What a fun talent we have on our hands with Brajan. Looked like a flairtastic Solly March regen last night. Remarkable close ball control and looked unflappable (and often untackleable) in possession.

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    And it is fine to say that, even if other players were also at fault for goals, his mistakes were major contributors to them and he shouldn't be excused for criticism for that. There are plenty of examples of players with way more cash in the bank with the Albion that have committed far less...

    [Albion] Mats Wieffer SINGS on 5 year contract

    He performed really poorly at the weekend, and with an opportunity to bounce back tonight he looked like a deer in the headlights. I hope there is a great player in there and that he finds a higher level of performance but he’s looked off it so far. The problem is that we paid £25m for him and...

    [Other Sport] *** 2024 Autumn Budget Official Thread ***

    Not sure who wrote Rishi's speech, but I think the country voted pretty clearly that it was fed up of austerity-style cutting. That he's berating Reeves for not cutting like he would have is a remarkable lack of awareness.

    They can rightly pay more. The Schooner Scorer should be paying everyone just for his existence, the stupid toff.

    [Albion] EFL / Carabao Cup Fourth Round draw [Liverpool at home]

    You'll be absolutely fine. Technically it comes into effect 3 and a half hours before kick off, so if you are passing HH after that then you'll officially be within the rules. The reality is that you'd be monstrously unlucky to have it go up in your face. I've been taking the train from...
