The West Bromwich Albion Thread

[harrybarracuda]

Update on the team I never talk about:

Bristol City 0-0 West Brom

Mendy more disappointed than Cy, no doubt.

A valuable point for the baggies though in the fight for survival.

Now down to 12th though. Odds on Cy having valuable input on the Champions League thread one day in the future up to 10,000/1.

It's difficult for me to comprehend what it's like in the lower leagues.

But I guess you can feel his pain eh Hal?

*chortle*

No. I'm 26 years old.

About the same number of years since you were last spotted making up the numbers in the European Cup.



We went on to literally smash the 2nd division of course - quite literally - and were back winning trophies in 77, of course.

[hallelujah]

Pretty tame for Millwall v Leeds so far.

Leeds 1 up.

Just watching that again and seeing the Lawman bristle at the end.

He's always loved United and always will.

Son of a fisherman from Aberdeen...

Bristol City 0-0 West Brom

Mendy more disappointed than Cy, no doubt.

I'm perpetually disappointed mate, in football and in life.

But football... we always start the season well but that's only due to the alphabet, and therafter we just slip down to mid-table insignificance.

Bristol is a big, wealthy city but why can't it ever get football sorted?

[hallelujah]

Mate, it would help the rest of the country if we could understand a word of what you were saying!

And you could only manage a draw at home to West Brom!

West Brom, who are dey?

[hallelujah]

In all seriousness though, and that's not something I do very well at the weekend , tis a very good question.

Coming from a fukking northerner. And even the scousers have football, ffs.

I've never understood this... a big city, City and Rovers, but football just doesn't happen apart from our heyday back in the 80s.

Maybe stop tickling trout and fingering dogs' bums and you might be able to join the rest of us in the 21st century?

28 years ago this week. Albion consolation not included because, well, who cares if it's not The Greatest Club In The World?



Lovely.

[helge]

A time when the stars worked for their salary.

Good goals there

[hallelujah]

13th after they managed to hold Millwall to a draw.

At home.

Look on the bright side sybs, he's so dismayed at watching his own shite team, he prefers to follow yours.

[hallelujah]

I see Gary Lineker named Bryan Robson as the most complete player he had ever played with and said England would have won in 86 and 90 with him.

Gary Lineker names Manchester United icon as 'most complete player ever' - Manchester Evening News

No complaints from me. The best football player I have ever seen in my life. All this hero-worshipping these days does my head in, but this fella was the best player I have ever seen.

Dejan Savijevic on a one game appearance against Red Star Belgrade in 91 is the only one who could ever come close.

Better than Keane.
Better than Cantona.
Better than Ronaldo.

The fella was immense.

[harrybarracuda]

This is what Hal does when his shitty team have just lost (again).

A bit of misdirection.

[cyrille]

This, and squaring up to numpt.

[harrybarracuda]

You must be pleased with yesterday's thumping win.

I must admit I was surprised to see our old boy Kyle Bartley on the scoresheet.

[hallelujah]

Joey Barton making friends again.

[harrybarracuda]

Erm....

[hallelujah]

One of my best pals is blues (we met in Thailand, funnily enough).

I love his daft accent and this is how I imagine Cy talking.

But more boring.

I know he was buzzing the other night.



Me too.

[cyrille]

I was there.

6-2 on aggregate.

Galatasaray had never won a game in England until last week.

[hallelujah]

West Brom have not played a game in Europe since...

...'ang on, I honestly have no idea.

Not like they're a proper club like the pioneering (and, yeah, they really were) Wolves, is it?





Black Country's finest.

[hallelujah]

The mighty Birmingham City, 6th in the division after the weekend's shellacking of the little baggies, have sacked John Eustace and are set to appoint Wayne Rooney as manager.

Not sure about this one.

[hallelujah]

We're all Coventry tonight, aren't we?



Come on you Cov!!!

Hal letting off steam
