For fans of a certain age that marvelled at the skills of William Mclure Johnston, I think you will find the article in the link below to be a sentimental trip down Memory Lane.

Willie celebrated his 75th Birthday on 19th December, what a player he was

Alan Nixon Tweeted

Blackburn. Return for Ollie Burke loan move on the cards. Could not do it last deadline day. Got a month this time. Sheff U will let out on loan or cheap. May come down to player.

How in Gods name did we pay over £14m for him? (scratches head)

It was a rhetorical question, therefore, no need for discussion ;)

Not to be too harsh on Chris Wood, but they need better to get them out of that hole.

Improvement on Livermore in every way but Jakes new deal has put paid to anyone replacing him now. Not Jl fault of course. Downing and Moore to blame.

Ben Foster has a decent podcast and recently on it is Chris Brunt, good hour and a half of Baggies related stuff, it’s a great listen/watch for a bit of an insight into things. Makes me miss those days though!

Im literally listening to it now, he talks about not liking Pulis, and a few fights they saw, particularly Boaz and Jonas, and the mozza/ Berahino one, saying Mozza only hit him because Saido was going to batter him  ;D

Other than that its a trip down memory lane, its well worth an hour and half of your time though, just search Fozcast on youtube

the only titbit i gleaned was Val used to practice set pieces right up to and including the mornings of match days, how we got so bad is anyone's guess.

other than that it's just a fun 90-odd mins of Albion.

I'm going to hazard a guess and suggest we got so bad on set pieces because the players simply couldn't be bothered doing better.
It doesn't matter how many resources you have.
If you don't know how to use them, they will never be enough.
Oh, and always remember to defecate on those Vile chaps in claret and spew.

I haven't watched it all but appears the others have answered well. I thought the stuff about Olsson and Myhill nearly having a full on fight was interesting to hear. As much as it was full of banter etc and a trip down memory lane it did make me think that the players kind of took over the club and then Pulis took charge and and the downward trajectory began, despite a couple of season of decent placing in the PL.

There's a Bob Taylor and AJ one on our website, on WBATV, its episode 1, called the Lords My Shep Pod. Not as good as the Fozzy ones but worth a listen
