[Albion] West Brom there for the taking -

I feared this, as I fear the rejection of a beautiful woman I thought loved me.

The tea leaf verdict is not good.

Two to one West Brom.

We will however stay up three games from the seasons bitter end.

I have no control over the Gods, akin to Odysseus, I am but a porn in a much bigger game I simply do not understand.

I posted this on another thread - I have a very good work colleague who is a Wolves STH.

The view in Baggie land is tomorrow, if they do not win, they are cast iron relegation bound

Just had a quick look on their message board and found this, is it true ?

"During their last visit to the top flight in the 80s, when I was living there, they had a short lived fanzine called "The Other Albion", so I think they know their place. I also think that technically they are supposed to be called "AFC", not "FC" because the rugby club at Brighton is one of the oldest in the world and had already claimed the name "The Brighton Football Club". Amazing what you can find out hanging around in pubs."

Complete nonsense.

If they have the same rubbish in defence as the last time there is no reason why we can't win , they were shocking .

I've now had six pints of ale and, AND I now predict a 4-0 victory in favour of.. US.

Tea leaves pah!

I'd take the wizards hand on a Monday, Thursday AND a Friday too xxx

Putting a quid on the tea leaves prediction and a quid on your 6 pint prediction. Tea vs Ale
First goal scorers?

Not sure that any Premier League team is “there for the taking” by BHA personally. Who else on here was there for the game mentioned in today’s Argus where we were outplayed for 80 mins at the Hawthorns and came back from 0-2 down to earn a point in the last 10 mins with goals from Poskett and Sully? One of the very few times I have seen the Albion rescue a game from 0-2 down with just 10mins to play, and what a team WBA had in those days.

I’ll settle for a point today but would love all 3. Losing would be a bit of a disaster though.

Loving this 'Lose to BHA and you're going down' mentality. Talk about the wrong attitude going into a game.

In fairness, the 5 teams we've beaten are West Brom, West Ham, Swansea, Watford and Newcastle. You could make a case for any of them to go down at the end of the season...

I think it's a huge game. If we win we'll be 10 points above them, they'll be 20 odd games without a league win and I don't think they'll be able to finish above us unless we collapse. A draw is ok but not great. A defeat leaves us slap bang in the middle of the relegation battle and has given one of our opponents a massive confidence boost.

We have to go for the win.

This is a game where Hughton’s attitude to the game is really important. We really should be targeting a win but not in a gung ho sort of way. More of a make sure we compete strongly for every ball, concentrate big time at set pieces and make sure we get support up the field when we counter attack. Well imo anyway :shrug:

Sitting back and trying to absorb any pressure whilst relying on a counter attack will only give them confidence and get the crowd behind them. Sitting deep may work but I suggest it is not the best way to win this game.
