So Albion beat Blackpool 2-1 in front of 33,000. Southampton need to beat Tottenham Hotspur to win the title, or avoid defeat to be totally sure of going up. It ends 0-0. Albion fans fume it was a fix, evidence and counter evidence is offered. It's always been a fascination of mine...

I've been following this since the early days. It must NOT stop here. Innocent folk had their lives destroyed. It must be fully investigated now to see if anyone from Horizon did lie in court- and if they did so their must be justice. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56859357

Very funny... Although if the top six weren't involved... Congratulations..... Watford

Having established that Moder (if he starts) will be the first non-UK/Ireland Albion player to start against England, here is today's trivia question: When was the last occasion two contracted Albion players lined up against each other in an England international ? And who were they ? NO...

Sunday night head scratch. When was the last time an Albion player lined up against England ? Talking about full international. Criteria: 1) Not for UK teams or Ireland- there's been a few. 2) Must have started the match. I'm not sure there is one. (Till the next match- perhaps).

My latest is: 'How did people cut their toenails before scissors ?' Lockdown, eh ?

Having a conversation earlier, I recounted when I was young I used to use the hallway as a run-up to refine my bowling action for cricket. I would stand in the kitchen turning my arm over or throw a tennis ball against the bedroom wall and play strokes with a racket. Decades later, when looking...

Having had more time on my hands than I would like I have found 'blogging' an enjoyable pastime during lockdown. Out of boredom, I've recently started a memoir of my time growing up in the 70s with a bit of humour, seriousness and wry self deprecation. I know some NScers have blogs of their...

Opening another bottle of wine ? Booking a holiday ? Reading a good book ? Nocturnal carnality ? Listening to Steps on Spotify ?

The dates above are put rather tentatively as this may be more like an old County Championship match... England go into the final tie 2-1 down and facing another defeat at the hands of the Indian spinners. There is nothing to suggest that conditions will differ. The last match thread was...

As much as Chris is no longer Albion manager, the respect for his achievements does not dwindle. Naturally, when he went to the perfect appointment in East Midlands there was joy at the possibility of another successful Championship project. However, the old problems have appeared to have...

Forget the football, the Monday blues, the relegation battle. It's bat 'n' ball time again. As we think of the prospect of those village greens resounding to the leathery sound (and the explicits of another soft dismissal when some of us bat), let us take ourselves to India for a Test in which...

Time to play with so I've updated a table and added some stats. Home advantage this year has only had a limited effect for most and clearly none at all for some. The overall effect has been a positive away record overall. Probably the first time this has occured.

“We did the basics very well. Structure and shape, and individual diligence. …..But I’ve always believed in the side to find a moment, and we had a couple. They were probing, they were calm around the box, but our diligence was excellent. We don’t lack belief. We lack a bit of talent sometimes...
