Albion have a lot to play for; several are at the last chance saloon after having a poor season (e.g. Jahanbaksh, Andone, Locadia?) and others know they could be about to be replaced (e.g. Stephens, Murray?). Others might already know that this could be their goodbye match (e.g. Dunk, Duffy?)...
The Man City forum is a right laugh at the moment; the majority predicting they will stuff us (fair enough) but you can sense the under-current of fear that we could wreck their party. One cretin claims we are only plastic Albion fans as a poll on here says that 50% of us want the Scousers to...
About flippin' time they put a roof back on the bandstand; it must of blew off over 2 years ago. I don't know if anybody has noticed but it rains a lot in this country and generally musicians prefer not to get electrocuted.
Not according to the kid in his 20s behind me at the Bournemouth match who screamed: "GET THE F*** OUT OF MY CLUB KNOCKHAERT", and then took exception when I said: "Really?...the bloke who scored the winning goal against Palace a few weeks ago?"
My suggestion is...ignore it, who cares? Newcastle fans have spent the last decade moaning about life under Mike Ashley (understandably). Our fans, like at every club fall into the support the club "Stand or Fall" bracket or those with unrealistic expectations who like a good moan.
In WSU there are a couple of JCLs in their 20s who scream constant abuse at our players as if they are the only people who've noticed we aren't very good at the moment. And when called-out about their constant moaning they got all defensive about it as it's "our opinions". Yeah well stop...
But we aren't regressing to the 70s / 80s. Football violence is at very low levels compared to then and is the exception rather than the rule it was. You still get occasional flashpoints, but in a crowd of 30+ thousand you are going to get some drunk and aggressive people, and these days they...
TROLL ALERT: if you were an Albion fan you would know that your examples are bollox. "Clappers" are only mentioned by Palarse fans, as they only appeared once and were immediately binned, as opposed to Fulham, Leicester, etc. where they are ever present. A 7 year old asking for a Chelsea shirt...
Hmmm...two slight flaws with that; the main catchment area for Albion fans is probably from Hastings in the east to Littlehampton in the west, and north to Haywards Heath. And City fans pride themselves on being generally more local than United fans. Having said that, one of the few City fans...
Oh for goodness sake Stato, why do you have to be so flippin' sensible and reasonable? It makes all the bed-wetters look a right bunch of chumps...
Thankfully, we have a very analytical and sensible man in charge of this football club. Tony Bloom won't do anything stupid. He knows that his...
Let's be honest though Bowers-sfc, your 3,000 didn't exactly create a wall of noise until you scored and then you did a loud WTSCMI. I wouldn't put your lot in the top 10 we've had at the AMEX this season...
