Probably the best yet of the Albion website media profiles (IMHO):

I thought for a worrying moment that you'd switched alliance.
Excellent article by the way.

That line about Robbie Savage is excellent.

Rival supporters "accused him of one in a bed sex romps.

Papa Lazarou · Jan 28, 2019

Over-achieving?

Dick Swiveller · Jan 28, 2019

Battling above our average? Is that an eggcorn?

BNthree · Jan 28, 2019

Too early on a Monday morning for most! Are these held at the Amex or at Lancing training ground?

Got to say, that Fulham win over Juventus was one of my favourite non-Albion football matches.

What it must have been to have been a Fulham fan that night...

They mention the mutual love of Zamora but they've forgotten Stevie Sidwell another mutual legend. Another good reason to have a small soft spot for Fulham

My liking of Fulham was when World cup hero and England captain Bobby Moore joined them and my first ever away game as a kid of 10ish.

They have had the best 2 Bobbys in the World imo.

Sidders is a nice enough guy and done well for us but Bobby is king in the battle by some margin.

i often wonder about the point of these innumerable press conferences- They must be the same every week, we have to face facts that to the average non albion supporter, no one is really interested. Any major announcements will not be given in pre match press shindigs. What is Chris actually going to say- brief update on injuries -but even then to be viewed with some scepticism as he hardly going to give an advantage to opponents if say a big name will make a surprise return. He wont give any game plan away. So in essence, it will be- we respect the opposition, on their day they can be very hard to get a result against. We will be working hard to get a result. Is it really worth sending a load of reporters from the Nationals to hear that?

Not at 9am on a Monday it isn't...

not to mention our sprinkling of players under Adams, and they are generally not disagreeable.

As you say can almost write them in advance: "It's going to be a tough game against a very good team. They're well-organised and have players* in key positions who can really hurt us if we're not careful. I'm not expecting anything other than a very hard game. We're going to have to be at our very best to get something out of it"

* Replace with 'world class players' if we're playing a top side.

You missed out the word quality. "There's a lot of quality in their side" or "they have some quality players" etc etc. Every CH press conference I've seen quotes from in the past 2 or 3 years has featured the word quality.

Well done - that was an enjoyable read.

“But even he moved us to Loftus Road for two seasons and was looking for another ground. We said goodbye to the Cottage in 2002 and didn’t expect to go back. But they couldn’t find another site so we ended up redeveloping the two ends and staying there through a lucky accident.

I had forgotten all about that.

And a great Robble Savage line.

Well he did say he wanted to be under the radar - although maybe not the best expression following last week's tragic days.

Edit: no humour intended re last week.

Probably my least hated London team....so that’s something.

Didn't somebody list 25 players who have played for both?

Off the top of my head I got Bobby Z, Sidwell, David Stockdale, Darren Freeman, Danny Cullip, Paul Brooker, Simon Morgan, Richard Carpenter, Paul Watson, Clive Walker, Peter O'Sullivan, Stan Brown, Teddy Maybank, Perry Digweed, Leroy Rosenior. Plus Micky Adams and Alan Mullery represented both..

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
