    [Albion] Leandro Trossard

    Anyone else enjoying the sick fella's cry-baby antics at the weekend? Refusing to celebrate because he doesn't get enough starts. Pmsl. I see Arteta is still lying to himself and the media that this is all good and what a professional he is for scoring a goal despite being unhappy. So what...

    [Albion] Perfect stadium size

    Just saw this on another thread: And it got me thinking - what would be the perfect stadium size for the Albion? I wouldn't actually say 32,000 was anything other than perfect really, because when we eventually do go down (for the first time since 2006) we will probably struggle to keep...

    [Albion] First three fixtures

    A fairly tough opening. How many points? Everton MAN UTD Arsenal

    [Help] Post length

    How long does a post have to be on here before you just decide not to bother reading it? I don't mean a quote from an external article, I mean pure unadulterated opinion. For me it does depend on the poster in question but as a rule of thumb I'd say that anything more than say 7 or 8...

    [Cricket] IPL

    Sunrisers Hyderabad have just biffed 277/3 against a Mumbai Indians side with Jasprit Bumrah in the bowling attack. :ohmy:

    [Football] European Super League Approval

    The state of this: Looks as believable as a communist-era general election result. It gets worse as your read the thread.

    [Albion] Rome soundtrack

    This what I'll listening to loudly in the airport pub at 7am on Thursday morning: Then this will get an airing with the appropriate Albion based lyrics:

    [Football] Premier League manager of the season so far?

    Who would you give it to if it was awarded right now? RDZ - sustained great football, Europa league qualification to the knockouts, still in the hunt for top 6, FAC and EL Gary O'Neill - remember that Wolves were many people's choice for relegation this season. Instead they're just 3 points...

    [Other Sport] Six nations 2024

    Really should have been a thread for the World Cup final that never was last night, but a story now developing in Rome. England 17-8 down and deservedly so as Italy have just run in a fabulous try.

    [Albion] Stadium Observations

    With the new smell wearing off, there are a few of these (especially from away fans). Looking at Molineux Mix for example, I read some quite familiar ones: Noise: Firstly, their fans think we are quiet and say that it was never like that in the Goldstone days. I'd say there was little...

    [Football] Biggest club never to have won a major trophy

    Who would you say it is? Surely it was Leicester until 2016, but now they've won 2 trophies. How I wish that was us! Notable entrants: Albion Stoke Watford Palace Lots of clubs have won just one - Middlesbrough, Southampton, Wigan.

    [Albion] BEST Amex wins of 2023

    What a choice - we've never had it so good have we? But which was YOUR favourite Amex win of the calendar year? I reckon you could make a case for about six of these. In other news, I really miss Deniz Undav. :(

    [Football] Best support from away fans at the Amex

    =2) Leeds. Credit where it's due - always loud and good vocal backing. =2) AEK. Proper loud support. 1) Marseille. Same as AEK but didn't stop all game. I seriously doubt their fans support will ever be topped. Incredible support IMO.

    [Misc] Technical solution needed. Can you help?

    So I work in a cabin at the bottom of my garden. It is out of range of my wifi, but I use ethernet/powerline cables to connect to the internet from my two laptops. This all works fine. However, I also have an electric heater in this cabin. Now ideally I'd like this plugged into a smart plug...

    [Football] European football question

    Has any club won a major European trophy having never won a major domestic honour? Asking for a friend. Obviously this has nothing to do with us being in Europe because we won the charity shield once. 😆

    [Football] Best signature songs of other clubs

    What I really like about "Sussex by the sea" is that it is very much "our" song. It's very stirring too when it's sung as the whole ground sings it. But what songs at other clubs do you like? Obviously "Glad all over" is absolute gash. To be honest it's so embarrassing that I really don't...

    [Football] FA Cup attendances

    Why are they so poor? I mean I get that they're not part of a season ticket but you'd think clubs would do more to fill up their grounds. Salford are a league club so a crowd of 1030 is unacceptable in this day and age IMO. Derby County were only playing Crewe but they average 24,000 or so in...

    [Albion] Squad Rotation

    It's really interesting that RDZ has used squad rotation so thoroughly. Quite often managers in the past have paid lip service to this, but that's clearly not the case here. I reckon it has cost us points this season (Webster is a good example of someone who needs 3 or 4 games before playing...

    [Albion] Which of these scenarios would you take if one was guaranteed

    Which guarantee would you prefer? I reckon this is a toughie. A win at Ajax would put us in a commanding position to continue our European tour, but two straight league wins is likely to put us back in the conversation for a top 5 place and certainly firmly back in the race for European places.
