Albion look set to part ways with Marc Leonard this summer after two successful loan spells with Northampton Town, according to an interview in The Athletic. The 22-year-old Scottish midfielder has drawn interest from several Championship clubs, including Coventry, Preston, Swansea, Plymouth, and Cardiff. The Sky Blues were said to have been monitoring the Scot…
I watched the Champions League match between PSG and Barcelona just outside of Barcelona where we’re on our holibobs. A great experience. I was with Rune Jnr and we’d bonded with another family whom the kids had been playing with. It was at this point, at the bar, that the man of the household informed…
Albion’s postponed Premier League fixture with Chelsea has been given a revised date in mid-May. In what is sure to be a thrilling end-of-season battle for supremacy of mid-table mediocrity, Mauricio Pochettino – presumably, who knows – will bring the “Blue Billion Pound Bottlejobs” (c) Gary Neville to the Amex on Tuesday 15th May for…
A week after coming oh-so-close to making his Albion first-team debut, Mark O’Mahony has signed a new deal which will keep at the Amex until June 2027, extending the initial three-year deal penned when he joined the club. Since making the move across the Irish Sea from Cork City the striker has not failed to…
It’s well known that the sales of Moises Caicedo and the Albion’s third-choice goalkeeper to Toad Boehly’s Merry Men were not included in the record £122m post-tax profits announced by the Club recently. So will those profits (the highest ever of a Premier League Club) be surpassed in 2023/24? The answer is ‘it depends’… Positives…
Jack Hinshelwood, one-of-our-own in every sense, has penned a contract extension, extending his commitment to the Albion until June 2028. The man with the tiniest shinpads in football had two years remaining on his previous deal. The versatile 18-year-old, who joined the club at the age of eight, made 17 first-team appearances this season, before…
The penalty awarded to Arsenal at the Amex on Saturday was one of the talking points on Sky Sports’ Ref Watch feature this morning. With the game scoreless and finely-poised, Gabriel Jesus ran at Tariq Lamptey, and looked to skip inside the Albion right-back as he cut into the area. Lamptey’s challenge saw him get…
If you didn’t see the altercation, and we use the word very loosely, between Pervis Estupinan and Ben White, and only saw the Arsenal man, prostrate on the Amex turf clutching his “injured” throat, you’d think that Albion’s left-back had performed some sort of death-strangle on him. That wasn’t the case. White put in a…
Albion have seven fixtures remaining in this 2023/24 season, and a lot can still happen. Now, clearly, I would love to see us win all of those games, sail up the table and secure another season of European football but, being realistic, our recent form suggests that might not happen. With that in mind, there…
It seems to me that last year’s achievements may have made some Albion fans presume that we automatically belong in the highest echelons of European football and that Albion fans are being let down by every disappointing result, so in response to the recent spate of woe is us/sack everyone threads, here’s a little context….
