That little look of resignation from the Marseille player once he'd realised what had happened :LOL:

I'm gonna cut AR some slack and assume he's reading it more out of amusement/ironic enjoyment than anything.

It wasn't so much the finish for me but the purposefully heavy first touch to burst past the Ajax defender into the space from which to stick it away with such efficiency. Awesome. EDIT: I've been beaten to it. :lolol:

Still very much feels like the only way Dunk gets a game is as a straight alternative to Maguire - with the younger, more athletic partner alongside in Colwill/Guehi/Tomori. And we all know how that usually transpires in competitive fixtures. But very glad to see him in the squad again of course!

The fact we've avoided relegation in all that time, for a club with our resources, suggests we've gotten more of the big decisions right, than wrong.

That's the crux of it really - and why I agree that a trial period might be a good idea. How many of those who attend local lower/non-league games do so because they can't watch their "main" team on telly vs how many go because that's the only team they support and/or enjoy the overall...

Not only playing (for now 9 successive seasons in a top 5 league), but recording some of the most impressive chance creation stats in said leagues, and of course scoring some iconic and hugely important goals in his time here - many of them against Man United (not as relevant a detail maybe but...

It's also the middle of October, ages from the next window opening. I feel like we're owed a little break from it all!

Bissouma smashed one in up at Birmingham in a pre-season friendly, might've even been his first ever appearance. Never took one again (that I can recall), naturally :lolol:

Ironically, it looks like it! Not that anyone seems to get a sniff over Trafford for the u21s anyway (which, seeing as he starts in the PL, is probably fair enough).

I don't know if less time spent practising set-pieces necessarily explains the prolonged streak of headed misses from Dunk, Webster and co. from corners that were finding the net more frequently a few seasons ago. The ability is there, we're finding Albion heads with corners still. It just feels...

It had somehow escaped me that he was now Leeds' manager, so my first thought was how their fans seemed to be going a tad over the top with their applause for an opposing manager.. (and I clearly did not read the actual tweet, just watched the clip) More amusing is the fact Farke's playing...

Just when it feels like we're well on our way to becoming an elite football team that might potentially challenge for major trophies (an absolutely bonkers thing to be able to say, granted), you're reminded how machine-like teams like Man City are, who have an abundant threat from set-pieces in...

As I mentioned to my dad yesterday, there's 18 points to play for in the Europa League, it's not like in the World Cup where if you lose your first game qualifying becomes a pretty difficult task. Not an ideal result, but we all know there'll be some memorable performances/results in this...

Used to be Stephen Grant back in the day, didn't it? Before Albion Unlimited and a host of independent Albion pods started up.

You get the sense from the photos the club/England account are putting out that he looks far more comfortable and at home among the England squad these days compared to his first call up back in 2018. Be great to see him given the chance to show it on the pitch, too.

I'd love to see him put together his list of all the other reasons (that don't instrinsically link back to him being paid lots of money).

Similar story of Juan Mata rejecting a sizeable offer from a Saudi club to go to Japan instead, citing the country and culture as being more appealing to him.

Struggling a bit with the fact Evan's and Billy's shirts seem to be totally different shades of blue.

Good shout - one of an influx of Spanish players under Gus, but was technically a level up on most. Flawless penalty taker and possibly the last player to have scored multiple direct free kicks in an Albion shirt?
