I see we have a match-up tonight between the PL’s two most entitled, preening, phony ‘super’ clubs - Chelsea v City. The stadium will be chock full of horrible designer fans and celebs paying prices to match their hideously high expectations. Most of whom will spend the entire game on their...

So as we know, in their history, Albion have played against 109 football league opponents and Chelsea are the only club they are yet to beat. With this in mind (and new year’s resolutions looming), I thought we might like to share some surprising non-achievements and facts about ourselves...

My biggest bugbear about women commentators isn’t the fact that as a collective group I believe them to be privileged, annoying or crap (as so often banded about by both fans and pundits). My biggest bugbear is the fact fans have to KEEP GENDERING commentators or pundits AT ALL. Karen Carney...

I was taking an early stroll along the beach yesterday morning and when I walked back up the shingle, I saw a copper standing, looking out to sea. He asked me about the area in which I lived and we had a brief and pleasant chat before he drove away. Previous to that I’d spoke to a guy dressed as...

I recall a while back when the Albion signed a player that he'd been tempted by a short movie promoting the city and the club. With transfer deadline day nearing its turbulent end, I was wondering which movie title best sums up your mood...? I'll start with an easy one....Great Expectations.

Okay the result was right, but this was another lacklustre performance and our league position doesn't reflect the negative tactics of the manager. Despite all the upbeat language, I really wonder if we are a club cheerily targeting another play off disappointment - the summer signings would...

Amid all the speculation over retainees/departures during the upcoming weeks, I thought I’d rate the current Albion squad. I’ve put them in order, not by hard currency, but more their perceived value to club and us fans in the fight for promotion 2016/17. I’ve not included Zamora because I feel...

Can you remember Pig Pen from the Snoopy cartoons? He was always down on his luck, self-deprecating and frankly a terminal victim of society. And can you remember that dust cloud which followed him around? That's how I feel, except it's a storm cloud, tracking me everywhere I go. Every now and...

So here we are, six games from the half-way split. It's surely reasonable to claim Albion are now 'promotion contenders' even if, like anyone else, we are not immune from a spectacular late season implosion. There's a clear 'big boys club' forming near the top, with Albion, Hull, Boro, Derby and...

On loan...well that's the rumour

Hot on the heels of the new 'central singing section' in the north stand, I was wondering which other sections could be introduced for the new season. I nominate a moaning section, based on the relentless, depressive rantings of a west Stand STH who I often see on the match-day train. What...

While we await our next marquee signing...here's a little light relief: Guess the date and time of our next signing. One simple rule: the player must be earmarked for the first team, so no development prospects will count. The time will relate only to the official press release by the club...

He has just 'outed' fans for slating him on Twitter!

Apparently we've asked permission from MK Dons to speak to Robinson about the manager's job.

Ho ho ho, your chance to make a statement, witty, curious or serious, via my Albion Blankety Blank Christmas Special. Picture it, for all you old-schoolers there's the sardonic Terry Wogan (1979-83), or for you later eighties perm-twiddlers, there's the gurning, gruff Lancastrian, Les Dawson...

Sami doesn't seem fazed. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29762830

Apologies if this has already been posted on here, but felt it was a frank admission that something will have to change soon (unless we find our striking boots). http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29724270 "Chris held the ball okay a few times and was battling hard. It was an idea that...

Albion 10 points adrift from the play offs. Now 25-1 for promotion with Bet Victor. Appreciate I'm firmly in the iconoclastic camp here...but considering the turbulence in the Championship throughout a full season, I think that offers decent value.

Thankfully this is one competition where we're near the bottom of the league: Here is the full report www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/352864/FootballRelatedArrestsBanningOrderSeason201314.pdf

Sick parrots and moon jumping are almost 'old-school' these days. But don't despair, there is a new generation of managerial misnomers and madcap mumblings. I'm going to kick off proceedings with one of my contemporary favourites (as spouted by Steve McClaren only today). "We don't look at...
