Flipping heck the guy from WBA makes them out to be unbeatable!
WBA are very well organised club and team, with a wealth of PL experience. Mid table with ease.
Quality players include Chadli, Evans, Foster, Dawson, Brunt, Morrison and Livermore. A team of physical giants.
By 5 on Saturday we'll get a good impression as to whether we're staying up or not.
The two main excuses of "Well, it was ex champions Man City, then Leicester" and/or "we haven't concluded our transfer business yet", can't be reeled out anymore.
Bob Booker saying Sheff Utd didn't win a game until Christmas in the Prem, and still stayed up. Fans must be patient.

Did he? Well he's wrong. Sheffield United went straight back down, courtesy of the Zamora-Tevez inspired great escape that allowed West Ham to finish above them. Sheffield United did get some compensation from West Ham due to the Tevez dodgy dealings.
No, you're both wrong. He's talking about the Harry Bassett-managed team that he played in in the 1990-91 season, not the one managed by Colin W*nk*r that you're thinking of, but it was the old first division, not the Premier League. In fact they got so fed up with their inability to win in autumn for two successive seasons that in 1992 they staged a Christmas party in August and Bassett wore a Santa costume on the cover of the programme for the opening game. That was the first season of the Premier League, and the plan worked. They beat Manchester United 2-1 at Bramall Lane and Brian Deane scored the first-ever Premier League goal.

Ok, well, we went up in 1979 and and didn't come back down again until 1983, so we should be patient as we will come good.
That holds about as much relevance as an unusual season for Sheffield United 27 years ago, when the landscape was vastly different and more matches were played.
