    2001-2002 Away Day Tickets.

    Ten quid to stand at Peterborough, a terrace that always produced a superb atmosphere in a ground at which we never lose. Bargain.

    [Albion] Shortest Albion careers. One game wonders!

    Matt Heath played six League games, even scoring once away at Leyton Orient. Borrowdale made 12 appearances, one of which as sub. Mikkel Andersen made 5 appearances.

    How many to Villa?

    Top end of that estimate, Moshe - not an unreasonable one either, in my view - leaves about 7000 empty seats at Villa Park.

    How many to Villa?

    They must have done it before - for Cup games for example - so it can't have been beyond their collective wit. It does seem oddly churlish - especially if those of us lucky enough to have tickets see plenty of empty seats in the stadium on Sunday.

    I'm so sorry. It was all my fault..........

    Another one here. Knew we wouldn't win at Middlesbrough because, at that point, we'd been unable to sell the house. Figured that as soon as our move away (to Spain in my case) happened, we'd go up. House sale duly completed five days after the Wigan game. Currently temporarily at Mum's, leaving...

    Leave Your Mobile Phone at Home Day

    Thanks for the kind words. Never wanted one, don't particularly need one, still seem to function OK and run an active social life. I'd suggest anybody who's incapable of functioning like a normal human without one is backward, not the reverse.

    Leave Your Mobile Phone at Home Day

    Don't own one anyway, so this would be no effort for me.

    Clapping the opposition off the pitch.

    A few points of order on this thread. This 'best record in Europe' claim - I haven't looked everywhere, but imagine that seventeen wins and three draws (54 points) may well be the highest points total in Europe. The fact is, though, that Juventus, for example, have played seventeen home league...

    Clapping the opposition off the pitch.

    I've always felt that some of the normal rules don't always apply during the last home game of a season. I remember a very few thousand of us applauding a just-won-to-stay-up York off the pitch on a Thursday lunchtime after the abandoned game under very, very different circumstances. If we could...

    Football "banter" with plastic Prem fans

    Nor me, dangull. The Premier League has felt like another country for years, so it's been difficult to even engage with it, still less 'support' one of the teams in it.

    Football "banter" with plastic Prem fans

    Working in London, I'm surrounded by Arsenal/Spurs\Chelsea and the odd Man U of course. They've all, seeing me disappear for games midweek, and hearing me talk about the club, been aware of what's been going on and are happy for me. I was even given a bottle of bubbly on the Tuesday after the...

    [Albion] Wigan MATCH REPORT. Bit late, but yeah...

    I know it's a weird one to pick as a favourite, particularly when I can see myself in one of the other vids, but that one of the fella who was on the train as it arrived and had no idea what was going on is absolutely magnificent. I don't know why he felt he had to join in, but his face is a...

    Player of the season discussion

    I voted for Stephens, personally. I think, of all of them, he's the one we miss most when he's not there, even if it's not always in-your-face obvious. (Sometimes it is, though - can you imagine that performance at Huddersfield happening with him in the side? In fact, three consecutive games...

    You’re favourite game of the season so far....

    How lucky we've been these past few seasons. There have been some great nights. (I'd say afternoons but, well... you know.) Fulham and Brentford away were superb, yes. But watching that Sheff Weds game again has probably reminded me that this was my favourite. It got the adrenaline going all...

    Norwich Tickets (Now on SKY: Friday 21st April, kick-off 7.45pm)

    Sixteen times? Sixteen? With more to come, in all likelihood? On Jan 16th Paul Barber said, on the Albion website: "It's easy to believe that TV companies - and clubs - don't consider fans when fixtures are changed. This simply isn't the case." Where is the evidence, any evidence whatsoever...

    Craig Mackail-Smith

    All of the above notwithstanding, I liked him. We've had far, far worse players than him in the shirt, and we've had players who were better than him but couldn't be titted to put anything like the sort of effort in that he did. Even if ultimately he didn't score the goals we'd hoped he was...

    Tonight's Championship Fixtures - Tuesday 14th March

    2-0 final score. I believe the term is 'marvellous scenes'.

    Sacked After Losing At Amex ....

    Always odd, fans' opinions of clubs other than their own. We're described both as 'very good' and 'average', and as 'the same side that got dicked by Forest'. More than one of them think we're cheats, particularly Bruno(!?) for some reason. I've never understood why fans make judgements based on...

    Should I Stay With Box Meal Number6?

    These people carping about something so ludicrous. No doubt you had box meal number six before the Brentford and Newcastle games? If you did, the evidence would almost seem to suggest there's no link between the two...

    What is the chance the game will be off tonight?

    If they can't play tonight, it could always be rearranged for some weird-arsed kick off time like... I don't know... 3pm tomorrow?
