The West Bromwich Albion Thread

[armstrong]

That'll be why he didn't even get booked.

It's a friendly. They both got subbed off straight after.

Didn't look very friendly to me.

Well there you are, then.

[cyrille]

First hat trick in the opening game of the season for West Brom since 1913.

[malmomike77]

confidence is high

[hallelujah]

Sunday 15th September

Portsmouth v West Brom

The Baggies making a weekend of it, Cy?

[hallelujah]

Does anyone remember that time when Sky News were live from West Bromwich with crowds lining the sides of the streets cheering on the return from Wembley of their FA Cup winning heroes?

No, me neither.



Since that night when Cy's dad treated himself to an extra pint of mild and a pudding with his chips amid all the excitement:

The global population has doubled

The Cold War has ended...and started again

Britain has had 12 different prime ministers

We've gone from black and white TVs to colour TVs to a mobile phone

Mendy's dress sense has come back into fashion 6 times

[hallelujah]

[cyrille]

And it's West Bromwich Albion. WEST BROMWICH ALBION FC!

[hallelujah]

Getting giddy cos his team is at the top of the 2nd division...

...in October.

You're not a closest fanny, are you?

It will all end in tears anyway, Cy- as you know very well.

[hallelujah]

Incidentally, I got a punch in the mouth at this replay in 94.



Hadn't even had chance to gob it off either before he lamped me as I was walking into the pub.

[cyrille]

Wolves losing.

[hallelujah]

Goal. The hosts are back in front.

3-2 | (86’)

Oh dear.

How can we lose focus so easily. Do really well to get back in the game and then just allow them to score right away. Disgraceful

Such a shame.

Chronic defending.

Nevermind.

We fall to our first league defeat of the season.

There'll be plenty more to come, don't you worry about that.

[hallelujah]

Morning, Cy.

How did it feel yesterday?

Awful to lose like that, isn't it?

[cyrille]

[hallelujah]

What division do you think you will be playing in next year?

[harrybarracuda]

What division do you think you will be playing in next year?

If they don't get promoted, the same one as you.

[hallelujah]

If they don't get promoted, the same one as you.

Remind me again when you last won a title or a European Cup?

[harrybarracuda]

Remind me again when you last won a title or a European Cup?

Remind me again how many managers you've gone through since Red Nose?

[hallelujah]

Remind me again how many managers you've gone through since Red Nose?

I could do but it's meaningless and a pitiful retort cos you have nothing.




But, come on you fucking fanny

Let's deal with the 2nd question first cos I like toying with my prey.

How many European Cups have you won?

We'll get round to it.

But you'll never get one of these.

Sir Alex Ferguson on Wenger's Invincibles: “I won thirteen leagues, but I was never near going through a season undefeated. The achievement, it stands aside - stands above EVERYTHING else & it was Arsenal's".

[harrybarracuda]

Your next trophy will probably be this one.

[hallelujah]

Your next trophy will probably be this one.

An Arsenal fan talking about trophies

[hallelujah]

Two more questions though, h


When did you last win the European Cup?

When did you last win the league?

Dead simple to answer.

Like you.

[harrybarracuda]

Hal, what's it like knowing you're just a cheap copy of Tottnumb living on former glories?
