    [Albion] Have Albion progressed this season?

    We now have a top 8 playing style, system and defence but bottom six attacking options so in that sense think we have made huge progress (albeit not reflected in the points). To progress next season is going to be down to whether we can successfully cash in players like Biss and reinvest...

    [Football] This season I was wrong about...

    Albion Solly March - thought the left wingback role he would be a gap filler for the season but he proved me wrong by having his best season in an Albion shirt before the injury. Far from making up the numbers he has been a huge miss Alzate - thought this would be his breakthrough season and...

    [Football] How hard is it for a Championship striker to transition to the Premier league?

    Championship strikers are either promoted with or join bottom half premier league team who are usually battling for survival so do not create anywhere near the amount of chances as you do at the top end of the championship. For example in our first season in the PL we had the second lowest...

    [TV] Alan Partridge: This Time

    Think that’s true of ‘This Time’ but ‘Mid Morning matters’ is brilliantly written For me less about the writers and more that I prefer Partridge less on the TV series format and much prefer it when he is doing inane radio and living in travel taverns

    [Albion] Premier League 30/4 - 3/5/21

    To those questioning looking up the difference between our current position and climbing up 3-4 places is around £5m-£7m in prize money which at the end of a financially tough season would help a lot

    [Albion] Football's social media boycott 30/4 - 3/5

    It’s a nice gesture but it won’t see any change these sites are all about the traffic and there will be as many people talking about the blackout as the games themselves. It would take law and regulations for them to change their approach

    [Albion] Is anyone else pissed off...

    He has not been right since the incident that saw him have a spell on the bench and now seems to be snatching at chances. That said a lot of focus is on him but truth be told there are equally poor misses coming from all the attacking players who have played a part in the lack of goals and...

    [Albion] Is anyone else pissed off...

    The art of debate really is dying on its arse as once again (like the politics threads) there are a number of posters desperate to push the arguments to the extremes of each other. You have to be either be unconditionally Potter in or you are a dinosaur who wants Big Sam and Dyche in charge and...

    [Albion] Is anyone else pissed off...

    For me I am caught between thinking we are on the verge of something very good to maybe we are all a bit fur coat and no knickers. The latter is mainly down to an all too frequent occurrence of losing points in games we have largely controlled that cannot simply be put down to bad luck. But...

    [Albion] Mr Potter has got to sort out his blind spot or else...

    In the summer if we don’t address the wasteful finishing or inability to beat poor sides who sit behind the ball I think there are going to be big problems next season. Fans back in stadiums would not tolerate the home record or results against the bottom sides. This is not something this...

    [Football] Have the players got off lightly?

    I wondered whether it could be enforced but there are examples in global sports where this exists so guessing must be a lawful practice. I wonder if the reason this is not pushed for by the top clubs is because it would create more of a level playing field for signing players which would...

    [Football] Have the players got off lightly?

    You make a valid point for players it is not just about the money but in Europe they get the money and the glory. But take us as a example we are a well ran club with (in normal times) good match day income with average players on a bottom 5 playing budget. We are getting millions of pounds of...

    [Football] Have the players got off lightly?

    It’s a bit of a vicious circle though isn’t it the clubs need the top players to stay and thrive in the competitions that attract and fund those salaries. Without them their business model collapses so players ask for more and the top clubs have to ask for more to fund those increasing costs...

    [Football] Have the players got off lightly?

    This I my view the market has not and cannot regulate itself as player costs have risen to levels where they are consuming almost the entire income of clubs. A cap is the only answer as we are seeing despite the financial issues of the last year agents are still touting even higher fees and...

    [Football] Have the players got off lightly?

    All the talk this week has been about evil plotting owners selling the soul of the game but the main reason these clubs are in trouble and chasing money is the non stop astronomical rise of player fees, wages and agents costs. The truth is with a sensible and controlled level of salary and...

    [Football] Reasonable punishment for the "Legacy Six" ?

    There are a lot of calls for this on Twitter but how do you punish them without hurting the clubs, players or fans? As others have pointed out in response Bury players and fans were punished for their owners actions, so were any clubs entering administration and of course all English clubs...
