Hugely interesting listen. Premise is Defoe wants to get into management so has been travelling around talking to people he trusts about how to do that and what works well etc. He came to the Albion to talk to Barber. Very interesting listen. Lots of guff at the beginning so skip about 3...

Discussing on Twitter (yes yes I know) about us fans always having a scapegoat to blame but it also made me think that through the years manager’s have always had their own teachers pet type players who no one could understand what they offered the team except them. So perhaps we can start a...

Sadly I lost my dad on Sunday after a short and intense hospital stay that deteriorated swiftly. He had many many faults but he was also the person who introduced me to the Albion. A league cup first round home defeat to Gillingham in 87 being my first game. He was heard ushering the phrase...

Not the well oiled debate that is their ownership strategy but a couple of observations based on tonight’s MOTD viewing: 1. Are Roy and Lewington the highest aggregate aged manager and assistant manager pairing in the history of the game? By my reckoning it’s 139 years ffs. Training must be...

I’ve got no truck with them beyond the point of order they disrupted the footballing space time continuum by existing as a league entity between us and Palace but I’m actually starting to feel sorry for them. This has got absolute nightmare written all over it...

Resident plumbers of NSC does flushing a heating system actually work? I’ve got a mixture of old and new plumbing/rads in a 4 bed semi detached house with two rads not working very efficiently and the rest fine. Bleeding the system doesn’t do anything - v limited air comes out and the water...

I follow a football website called These Football Times - worth a look if you have time - and they’ve started an interesting feature whereby as the title suggests you nominate four of the most influential players of all time for your club. Seeing as they’re unlikely to feature us I thought we...

Can you put a tangible price on the experience Sanchez, White and Trossard are gleaning from being at the latter stages of a major tournament? Assuming White doesn’t go this window then how much better for it will the Albion squad be next season and what skills will they learn? Better game...

Had cause for a de-clutter today and found some excellent personal Albion memorabilia hidden away: So what else have you unearthed that you forgot you had or brought back a happy memory or more?

Brought about by wasting an hour of my evening watching classic clip reels of players like fat Ronaldo and Zidane it got me wondering about my own personal peak football years. Taking the emotion of supporting the Albion out of it when was peak football for you and how old were you at the...

For absolutely no reason what so ever [not strictly true as I’ve decided this is the difference to my running times being good or shite for my age/size] I’ve decided to give up refined sugar for lockdown 2, the revenge. What other similarly stupid ideas have you all embarked on?

A semi serious equivalent of the classic ‘at work’ version to share examples of extreme stupidly witnessed in our close quarter environs at this difficult time. My neighbours recently bought a new house but rented out theirs to a lovely family but decided against including the garage where...

As seems to be the done thing atm I thought I’d post some hopefully welcome Albion nostalgia. I was put onto this channel through the also excellent Two Hundred Percent website [http://twohundredpercent.net/self-isolating-with-football/] and have uncovered a few previously unseen for me at...

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/twohundredpercent/id972361480?i=1000459835760 Last of the present series that overall offered excellently crafted spinning yarns on a myriad of interesting and often not well known tales from the annals of footballing history. This one needs no...

I’ve been wistfully dreaming the afternoon at work away thinking about tomorrow and in my head thinking back to 90/91 and 04 play off finals being the only frame of reference as to what tomorrow will be like. Across various threads we’ve got fantastic recollections of those days plus of course...

Following on from the greatest player BHAFC ever had thread and having just finished SpencerVignes excellent Bloody Southerners book in which he recounts the tale of Peter Taylor (the first) going to try and sign Geoff Hurst I wondered what other nearly spectacular signings people have heard...

Nice to see a large corporate [face it folks that’s what we are] actually show actionable items from a customer feedback survey. Unhappy with the words to GOSBTS going back on the screens but VERY happy half time scores are being reintroduced. (Hopefully not just Prem too) But seriously...
