The explosive interview Andy Naylor promised in today's Argus is with Vicente. He describes Poyet as selfish and egocentric; the worst person he has come across in football.
He claims that Poyet had told him in the presence of Calderon last summer, as soon as the season ended, that Vicente...
I see that our Latvian international made his full debut for Yeovil on Saturday, having made his debut as a sub last Tuesday. Looks like he will be involved in his own play-off battle with the Glovers.
In the Argus on Monday Brian Owen reported (in an article about Ankergren) that he had another season on his current contract. That surprises me; he last extended his contract in July 2011, and it implies he was given a 3-year deal (Kuszczak signed a 2-year deal last summer, by comparison). I...
The beiN online TV guide is showing that the Leicester game will be shown live on Saturday (and was also showing on my Dish Network guide on the telly this morning) so looking good for US-based Albionites.
For anyone in the USA (and wherever else beIN broadcasts), the beIN schedule has highlights of the Forest game being shown at 7pm EST on Saturday evening (the programme is called 90 in 30).
The Argus reported on Wednesday that they understood Ashley Barnes (whose contract expires at the end of the season) had made enough appearances to trigger an option clause in his contract (and therefore it seemed likely that his disciplinary problems would not cost him his Albion career)...
Hi Insider
Will a report of the Albion's youth team rearranged match at Charlton (played last Wednesday) be made available on the official site?
Thanks
According to the Brentford official site, one of the development squad substitutes this afternoon was a George King. After some googling, it appears he has been on trial with the Albion after he was released by Man City after his scholarship. Plays as a left-back or on the left wing, and also...
Before today's game, Adam El-Abd was on 9 bookings, meaning his next yellow card will earn him a suspension. The "Final Score" report on the official website shows him as being booked today, but the BBC and the Huddersfield official sites show we had no bookings. Also nothing on the club...
According to what is, I believe, the Latvian FA official website, Vitalijs Maksimenko made his full Latvian debut today in a friendly in Japan. This is how Google Translate reports the occasion:-
"In preparation for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying cycle game with Liechtenstein, the Latvian...
Crawley Town announced yesterday that Michel Kuipers contract has been cancelled by mutual consent. He hadn't made an appearance this season, and had also lost his position as goalkeeping coach.
Bridcutt picked up his ninth yellow card at Blackburn last night, meaning another booking any time before the 2nd Sunday in April will result in a 2-game ban.
Early heads up for my fellow Stateside NSCers, the TV schedule for Fox Soccer is listing our 4th round tie as being shown live on the 26th (I must admit I wasn't hopeful after we were passed over for live coverage in the UK, but we are obviously an attractive draw over here!).
Hi Insider
There have been mentions on a couple of news items on the official site this week, in the lead up to the Derby game, indicating that an appearance by Vicente would be his first Championship action of the season. Of course, he actually came on for 10 minutes or so as a sub against...
There was a mention in Wednesday's Argus that Yaser Kasim was back with the Albion after "falling out" with the manager at Luton, where he had been on loan. Anyone heard any more details?
