I'd rather have Eddie Grant instead of Karlan, whether he wants to dance or not.

This made me laugh out loud!  Very good!

which is why you should use a VPN.

I have used Kodi in the past with indifferent results. There is always a new must try build available on youtube. I now use an established IPTV provider with far better results.

I have three subscriptions to IPTV under different providers.  For different rooms in the house/mancave.  It is definitely the way forward specifically with a VPN.  You can get a perfectly good 12 month subscription for £30-40. 

I have had blag boxes for over 10 years, from Starview, Black Pearl, Skyview/Kryptview, MAG box and now firestick.  Eventually, they go and someone will find another work around.  But apart from broadband they haven't had money out of my pocket for a very long time. 

I am looking out for another subscription so I will PM you privately to get some info if you don't mind?

Isle of Man anyone ?

I go every year to IOM.  Some of the people are a bit odd.  But Quid's Inn in Douglas is the cheapest pub I have ever been to!

Crikey, didn't realise it was that grim in terms of wins from a losing position.

It would be interesting to see the rest of the divisions stats on this?

Could anyone on here look at getting this data?

I am quite excited by this lad.  I hope also that we get an option to buy.  But if not, then no biggie!

I reckon that Jonny Evans will end up at Everton. 

Was listening to Koeman last night after the game and he is definitely after a left sided CB.

Isn't that what being a football supporter is all about. Support your team through thick and thin no matter what? I am not looking to next Saturday at all but I will be there as I will be every home game regardless.

That is exactly it. 

If I lived closer I would undoubtedly have renewed.

« on: August 01, 2017, 09:54:23 AM »

Les was a lovely, lovely man.  Lived two doors away from my mum until very recently and was a regular at my sisters house for a brew. 

He knew everything worth knowing about the Albion.  Was also part of Adrian Chile's book 'We don't know what we're doing' Sad times. 

Rest well friend.

Just had an alert through from Fotmob advising that we have signed a Chinese player from Vitesse Arnhem called Yuning Zhang.

Apparently we are loaning him straight out to Werder Bremen for two tears.

« on: April 18, 2017, 12:50:54 PM »

During the game, I was adamant (Not Adam Ant) that there was a pass back to Mignolet who picked it up but on Skysports match highlights it never even got a mention.  It was not given but we were all sure that it was. 

I was at the back of the SME. 

Anyone else see this?

I want to go Brighton so I will most likely renew lol

Why am I not surprised? 

It seems that every season you go through the same....not going to renew because of a, b, c, d, e, f and g then you renew anyway!

I buy a season ticket to be entertained and unfortunately I ain't being entertained. Until he starts entertaining me 8th position or not I won't be renewing , that's my decision and according to our poor attendances many others too. It's utterly boring football and I get fed up with him upping the opposition, just my humble after 40 years like


My seat for Saturday  behind the dug out free to somebody  local who can't afford to go to games , now there s a challenge , anyone interested pm me.

If we buy deeney I certainly won't renew

Are you renewing next season folks. i wont be. just fed up with travel, player power and agents, the money in the game etc

What is the reason going to be tomorrow for not renewing?!?

West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Season Tickets/Membership 2017 - 2018

« on: April 04, 2017, 12:12:22 PM »

I won't be renewing next season, for no other reason than personal circumstance. 

It's the travelling for me really, if I lived back in Smethwick I would renew like a shot but like yourself Devon.........every game is an away game.  And I have missed loads of games, I missed three home games before Christmas.  I am also going to miss at least the Chelsea game towards the end.

With the low prices of matchday tickets these days it's not really that financially beneficial to have a ST any more.  I have a decent seat, that's the only advantage of a ST as far as I can see. 

I will be looking at going to some games here and there but I will be able to decide these myself as and when I feel like it.

Have to mention the shift that James McClean put in against Arsenal.  He ran his socks off. 

He went on a lung bursting run in the last few minutes and you could see that he was knackered. 

Well done James.  Doesn't always get recognition.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Guochuan Lai

« on: March 20, 2017, 11:16:11 AM »

Don't forget were only 7points off the top 6,that's impressive for Mr.Lai first season should we finish in 7 the position,isn't 7 the lucky number in China?
Remember that we are unbeaten in two thirds of all our matches this season.
I think that's impressive,the Chinese kids will think the same,get our shirts in their shops,hey Mr.lai sell them in your garden centres get us known.
 Buy a couple of top players in the summer and take them on tour,spread the word in that part of the world.

8 Is the chinese lucky number.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Europa League qualification

« on: March 02, 2017, 12:08:09 PM »

I think that now we have achieved our target (40pts), that like last season our performances will tail off and we will finish no higher than 8-9th. 

A Europa qualification would be amazing and I would love it as much as the next man but in all honesty I think it's just a dream.
