[Albion] Premier League 25-27/11/23

[GT49er]

What an awful day at the office for Sanchez and Cuckoo.

Two players who played for us - one who was our player of the season, but wanted away to a 'big' club, and one who was doing a great job fr us but fell out with the new manager and left to keep playing football .............and who between them netted us £80 or £90M £pounds...........and you're exhibiting some kind of triumphalism because they lost today? Weird.

Even though they were voted the second best and fourth best players respectively for their team today? So probably not the ones who let their team down then ..............................

We buy cheap or develop and sell on - that is our business model. So these two are part of our success story. Keep up!

Not necessarily cheap, yes TB’s business model is exemplary.

Chelsea/Sanchez/Cuckoo mishaps are enjoyable, a horrible club and fanbase, and two players who went about leaving in a disrespectful way. You’re also forgetting schadenfreude, football as far back as can I recall (70’s) always had a huge heap of reveling in setbacks for clubs and players not liked. Those three tick those boxes for me. Cuckoo was only with us 5 minutes before jumping ship, but before that he certainly wasn’t my POTS … what’s that got to do with it anyway?

First game on MoTD - Luton v Palace?!

Cucu's leaving was not great (but very lucrative!). Sanchez was a falling out with de Zerbi and the new GK coach, Ricardo something. I know de Zerbi is god and can do no wrong, but the falling out wasn't all one-sided, and Sanchez had to leave a club where the manager didn't want him to get first team football.
It's a shame that they - and Caicedo, and Colwill who preferred to remain on their books - went to a shite club that I would love to see relegated. I can hate Chelsea quite easily though - but without the need to vilify players who did a very good job playing for us, and earned us a considerable wedge when they departed.

Controversial but I'll let them off

 

[Steve in Japan]

We're constantly told that Poch has got it almost sorted at Chelsea. "Rolls eyes". They're poor to shite.

Yes, this is an odd running order. Getting tired of the current MOTD format, needs a huge kick up the arse. 3 has beens chuntering along.

The whole scheduling seems to be bizarre. Why on earth is Burnley v West Ham ahead of our game?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Fourth out of seven games. It’s just coming up.

 

[BN41Albion]

FFS Sake last on MOTD!

Oh- not last then.

Still a bizarre running order!

Seems completely random. Kinda understand Luton (although it wasn't even their first win and they were playng an average team), but I can't think of any reason whatsoever why Burnley v West Ham would be ahead of our game.

Brighton the entertainers

Shearer singing our praises with some analysis of the Pedro header and the quick transition from defence.

"They were back to their best today. It was a really good performance, full of confidence."

"Look at how many players are prepared to get into the box trying to score goals."

"It was wonderful to watch. You can see what it means to him (RDZ)."

Well done MOTD.

Or ahead of any of the other games - looking at the scores in and/or implications of other results you'd have thought Burnley West ham would've been a shoo-in for last!

Can only assume that someone who works there is under the misapprehension that West Ham are a big club.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Cooper was quite critical of the ref yesterday…will he get the same publicity as RDZ pre international break…doubt it but even so……..obvs doing a good job at Forest, but then they have signed a million players ….he can come across as though he has a chip on his shoulder imo

So, what's on our wish list for today? A win or a draw for Everton please - keeps us in 7th. place. Spurs vs. Villa? - not so sure - probably a draw would be best for us, as it would keep them both within touching distance.

I agree but its one of those Sundays when you want four defeats because of the teams playing.

Tottenhams starting 11 today is awful! Really fancy villa here
