Well someone said to me in My early days on here (has it really been Six Years) that this Club would make me cry and be proud. And I have to say listening to the football phone in last night, I was, I've told a lot people that people forget Albion were in the prem for 8 years because of our current yoyo club status, no one wants us there anymore. But no one knew of our financial troubles and the fact we could go out of bussiness. I sit here and watch MOTD and fall out of love with the game I am so passionate about apart from Luton. But as was mentioned Ally/A4A have conducted the protests really well, we weren't United postponing games or Reading abandoning games or United again turning up late and booing when we loose, because we realise there ay anything Carlos or the lads could do. Our job is to support them and try get what we all are overjoyed with at this current moment that didn't likely Promotion or at least the Play Offs.well said mate
I have to say the way we conducted the protests was class and A4A have brought attention to our issued not only to other Albion fans, but local fans, national media and some other clubs in a mess. I think it was a Villa Fan who first praised us and then a Walsall fan for what A4A had done and wished us well, other Albion fans had also been praising them to.
Whilst we didn't win last night I am not angry or upset or sad like usual. I have an enormous sense of Pride and feel proud at what Ally and A4A have done and we now have optimism where even if we don't get the play off's or we loose we can actually look forward to the next season under our new owners.
A quick question when Patel takes over next week will A4A have communication with him and find out his plans. I really want to know if he is going to keep Carlos a man who I and I am sure most of us feel deserves to be at the front of our new regime.
So overall I would just like to say thank you to Ally and all at A4A as I can now finally feel proud at this Club and our fans and can finally look forward to the future UTA COYB
It’s not defeatist - it’s realistic. I’m not saying we shouldn’t aim to be the best that we can be but that we have to accept that being West Bromwich Albion is not a passport to anything. Bigger clubs than us have suffered greater falls. Luton rolled their sleeves up and got on with it. I believe we can halt our slide and get better but it will take time and be very difficult. As supporters (and I definitely include myself) we’ve got too carried away by a few wins and equally too despondent by a defeat or two. For me, we need a reset. Players still need to leave and new ones need to come in. We are by far the finished article. We have fans and may be even players that think we just have to turn up and sides will roll over. That attitude doesn’t get you anywhere. It leads to short term gut reactions and chopping and changing coaches. For once, let’s accept we are a way off where we want to be but let’s have a plan to change things and move in the right direction. However, we have to accept that West Bromwich Albion are currently not an automatic top ten side and will often struggle at teams like Blackburn who are in a similar position to us. They have won the Premier League - don’t their fans think they should be winning every match too?absolutely spot on
Do we really want a rematch though when the first fight was so one sided?It would be interesting to see if Spence was capable of changing his strategy or if Crawford has his number whatever the style. I do think Crawford could have stopped it earlier if he wanted.
On a wider note, it's a shame really that it's taken this long for a fight like this to happen. Crawford is 35 now and has long been the purists lb for lb king. Had he taken this sort of fight earlier, maybe his profile would have been as big as it really should be. Potentially going to go down as the most talented boxer in history not to be a house hold name.
As it happens one of the biggest weeks in modern boxing has seen the 2 best lb for lb boxers (Crawford and Naoya Inoue) win huge fights with barely any publicity.
If they get Ramsey it could lead to a case of fur coat and no knickers leaving their squad exposed in other areas.Like what you did there, never heard it called a squad before
Got to admit I was wondering the same myself
Those penalties were so bad you could make a case that they were missed on purpose.
Bilic should have been sacked...rightly soCorrect on all 3 counts
Whether Allardyce should have been brought in is a debate but Bilic was rightly sacked
He wasn’t getting a tune out of these players either
Well done Barry, genuinely pleased to see our young talent coming through albeit with that lot down the road.Its worse than the other academy steals because it’s our fish loving neighbours and the way it was all carried out. Seems like they’re still sore about us flogging them Curtis Davies.
That said, could we begrudge any young player a chance with another club given the shambles that is West Bromwich Albion at the moment?
