Waiting for weeks for this and my girlfriend has just tested positive for COVID so I now have to isolate. Gutted.

« on: August 09, 2018, 03:50:40 PM »Just me who thinks this may have been the most boring transfer deadline day in a long time?
Literally no one seems to be doing any major business.
Also, quite alarming how many loan deals have happened this summer.
The big story is that someone got splashed by a puddle...

« on: October 03, 2015, 11:03:40 AM »Anyone know which pubs show BT Sport in Birmingham City Centre?
A few bars do on Broad Street (Players Bar, Walkabout, Velvet Rooms, Mooch Bar) but I was hoping for a better ale selection somewhere! Matchpint and BTSportFinder sadly don't list all the pubs which show BT (mostly because venues have to pay to list on their sites)
I think The Queens Arms on Newhall Street has Sky and BT sports.

« on: September 02, 2015, 11:36:17 AM »For me its obvious what has happened.
Spurs turn his head with delusions of grandeur, they make him put in a transfer request, then when they think they have us over barrel they meet JP who flatly refuses and rightly so the derisory offer made. They then get him to tweet what he did effectively alienating him from the fans and the club and bringing his stock down so that come January they get him for 10-12 million less just to get him out of the club.
Levy has played well here.......
I can't imagine Peace doing business with Spurs (unless the fee is what he wants) purely out of principle.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: The improved defense myth
« on: December 10, 2014, 03:39:52 AM »I think Irvine's idea is that two banks of 4 offer more protection against the counter attack, which is probably true as I don't think we've been particularly susceptible this season. The problem is, with the lack of creativity we have in midfield most of the game is played in the middle third and we are eventually played through.
This backs up Mac's point that our midfield four don't specialise in either area so we lack penetration without being particularly strong defensively, the upshot of which is, we don't get hammered, but we don't win many either.
I believe Mulumbu and Yacob in a 5 man midfield would improve us in both areas.
You need to attack to be susceptible to a counter attack.

« on: December 09, 2014, 09:21:38 PM »12 games out of the 15 we have failed to score from open play bit of a disturbing stat hopefully we are saving ourselves for the villa game such a huge match this, Completely took over my mind this week with slight worry but also what a win would do for us and the team.
I've stopped caring completely. There have been times when i've been annoyed and fed up etc. when doing badly but i've never felt like this before. I just couldn't care less anymore.

I don't know how realistic it is but the only person I would be happy with is Dick Advocaat. After that possibly Martin Jol. The rest of the options seem pretty depressing. I would accept Derek McInnis even though it is pretty much just on sentiment. McInnis and Appleton together would excite me though but I can't imagine Appleton would ever want to be assistant.

The whole point of our setup of keeping the same coaches when a head coach changes is for consistency when things are going well. With that theory then they have to also be part responsible when things are going wrong, especially when it has lasted for 3 head coaches.

Mulumbu loves tackling so much he passes it straight back to them so that he can have another go.

Both have been shocking today but Vydra looks like a younger kid that has been allowed to play but is being bullied by the older kids.

« on: August 12, 2012, 05:41:53 PM »I have never seen what the big deal is about Rodwell.
It seems to be a thing with English football that just because a young player is getting first team football, he must be guaranteed to get better and is now the next big thing. Just simply being young does not guarantee that you have potential.

« on: May 13, 2012, 08:17:18 PM »
Have you been happy with the season?
Favourite game?
Wolves 5-1 Obviously
What have you made of the football we've played?
I've found it really frustrating at times but you can't complain about finishing 10th.
Who has been a disappointment in your opinion?
Shorey. I was a big fan of his and defended him a lot but it got to the point where I couldn't defend him anymore. Cox too.
Who has impressed you the most?
Morrison. I liked him when he first signed but I had really gone off him until recently Obviously Olsson has been immense. My player of the season but I expected it of him.
Were you happy with our summer/January transfer business?
I wasn't but looking back on it, it's not bad. I think Foster was a great signing but needs to be made permanent. I think Long has a lot of potential too. As for McAuley, I laughed when we signed him but he has proven me wrong.
What would you like to see done differently next season?
Take another step forward. Bring in a good target man. A Fortune but with more goals. A new right back, new centre back and a bit of pace on the wings.
