I loved it when we signed him. Shoot Magazine printed his pic in the classic Phoenix Brewery shirt. Had that on my wall. I spoke with him on a SCR phone in soon after he signed. I do remember that the months before his death were a tabloid writer’s dream. His bizarre relationship with Julie...

Really?? Have you seen his social media?? I’ve never seen a player with such an over inflated opinion of himself. He likes a good bit of self promo. Last season after one match he posted an amazing pic of himself heading the ball towards goal. It looked brilliant until I remembered it was...

Funny - I asked my son exactly that this evening. I thought he looked promising when he signed. My lad said he thinks we loaned him out immediately for 18 months. I’d be interested to find out how he’s done in the last year.

West Brom on Saturday we’re advertising their home shirt then 25% off and the away one at 40% off. I bet Paul Barber spat his dentures out in shocked disgust!! Have to say it seemed as though the other Albion are doing a lot of things right (except clappers 🤔).

Stephens was our best player today. He gave the ball away a few times in the second half but by then the players were having to play more expansive football to try to get back into the game. More risk is bound to result in more misplaced passes. It’s also of note that he probably has more...

I’ve not seen a better right back in the stripes since my first match in ‘79.

Next week's match could see a number of senior players returning to the match day squad. Hemed's ban is over and Kayal and Baldock may well be included considering they've each played in two U23 matches and both scored. So who's on the bench? Muzza will surely keep his place in attack, so can...

People who press the button on a pelican crossing when there's only one car approaching and plenty of opportunity to cross once it's passed :mad:

One swallow does not a summer make and all that, but Hemed was pony yesterday. The team that was fielded in the first half played with high tempo and incisive passing. A clinical striker probably would've had 3 goals in that half. Hemed was the weak link. I can't see him offering anything to...

She's the best political commentator on any of the news stations, bar none.

In his programme notes before a match in about 1985 Chris Catlin wrote that he believed Albion had potential to be one of the top 10 clubs in the country and followed this up with something like "I'm not talking pie in the sky, it's the truth". Unfortunately I gave all of my old programmes away...

Really he did. My first visit to the Den. Autumn 1985. Fergie scored the winner - his third in 3 consecutive games. Catlin took him off the transfer list after that. Probably didn't score again tbf but that goal and the ensuing shower of coins I endured made him ok by me.

Saw this pic on Twitter today. It's my fave ever Albion 11 in my time of watching live. I started going regularly in the 83/84 season and I reckon the main 11 here would give last Saturday's team a real run for its money. In a straight comparison I see it as: Graham Mosely < Stockers Steve...

Despite the disparaging replies to him / her, I'm with with the OP. I like the fact we've got 8 of the bottom 9 still to play. It won't be easy but I like the thought of those matches as opposed to having to play 8 of the top 9.

Why NA for Hemed & Murphy from first two posters? Both played around 30 mins and sounded heavily involved on the radio commentary. Any suggestions as to reason for Towell withdrawal if he was our best player? He took the goal really well. Surely he was worth a full match?

You know, I'd forgotten that! The league table looks so different now you've reminded us.

Had to stop watching after 1 minute. Could see this was going to be cringeworthy. Reckon I've saved 11 minutes of my life there. In answer to the poster's question, yes perfectly correct. A number of civilian roles have powers which are designated by the Chief Constable - PCSOs have plenty...

I've an interesting anecdote to this one. Back then I used to work as one of the police football spotters home and away (with Darren before he took over from Alan Goodall). I was working at this match and it was getting a bit feisty and both benches were squaring up to each other (think Alan...

I have to say that sentimentality plays no part in my wish to see Kaz restored to the 18. No one has a divine right to play. To cut to the quick, I think he can contribute to the cause - if CH starts with AK and JM against Leeds, as I hope he might, and we're locked at, say, 1-1 mid way...
