I love Black Country.

Surely the first team were away to Rotherham that day. That's what your programme says anyway. West Ham weren't in the same division. My first game was also 2 months earlier v Villa.

Quiet place to park on outskirts of city, pleasant bike ride (usually), no hassle parking at Amex (leave "vehicle" just outside entrance) followed by rapid getaway up the A23 on return to car.

In the space of one week, the old saying that "luck evens itself out" has never seemed more apt.

I would have stayed, just to say that I witnessed a bit of history.

VAR will stay - because TV love it.

Mind you, I do grumble on the way home after a 0-0 draw or worse.

I get up at 6am, drive 160 miles, cycle 10 miles, repeat this in reverse after the match and NEVER leave early. Who cares about the pissing rain after an injury time winner !!!

Saint's will improve in the 2nd half and Leicester will conserve energy. 1-6

Why ? We've got Leicester up soon.

Why does it have to be only 6 ? My list would start with Dave Turner, Jimmy Collins, Norman Gall and Wally Gould - and that's just one season !

The football played in the late 70s was "of it's time" Is it possible to compare different eras. If my great heroes, Jimmy Greaves, Peter Ward etc, were subject to present day regimes of training, fitness and tactical awareness, I'm sure they would still be superstars. I was looking at the pitch...

Having been there today, I would agree - and I've been following since 1959. The first half performance was so impressive - but we give too many silly fouls away still. We still need to turn the classy play into more goals though.

Chris Hughton has turned the job down apparently (Stoke Sentinel) - hence Jones being shoved out for the press conference.

Ken Suttle George Waites John Dillon Michael Mahony-Johnson

His last minute winner against Tranmere at the Goldstone in 1965 is one of the few goals from that era which I can still visualise. Wet and murky south stand end, corner from the right, towering header, hit the top of the table (Div 4) and stayed there.

I've got a good idea. Let's get Chris Hughton back to manage them.

Peaches & Custard. Yummy !

Houghton Knockheart

I was there too, not long after arriving home from backpacking in Yugoslavia (you might remember it) and just having got my A Level results. I haven't seen Albion lose to Wolves since then, despite numerous visits to Molyneux.
