If only Wigan had turned up against Swansea

Wigan should have beaten Swansea, winning 2-1 into the second half too.

He has been a fantastic player for Chelsea over the years, is the relegation battle still over yet as far as Villa are concerned.

Turner is our for Norwich tomorrow, Ruddy could make a comeback. They dont really have many players who stand out for me really Holt has had a quiet season dont know why anyone thought that he should have had an England call up.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Stadium Expansion

« on: May 10, 2013, 08:48:15 PM »

The team is 8th in the premiur league. Not the 1st Division
On big match days the ground is more or less full.The man u and co would sell more tickets in expanded corner
Building costs are low in the current enviroment.
Just developing the corners would suffice for now
Peace should not have gone back on his word. But not surprising . Keep the club small seems to be the order of the day.
Wasnt WBA a big club once.
If Tommy Silk was in control I know what he would have done.

Even when we had those great teams in the last 70s early 80s we were getting similar crowds to what we were now. I think the best thing  for us will be to expand the Halfords and get the Capacity up to thirty thousand we are getting bigger season tickets sales every season hopefully this summer will be the same.

I'm surprised he isn't taking charge of us when we play United next week. I think he is one of the best refs we have in the Premiership although sometimes that's not say much.

Overall I have been very impressed with the start that Clarke has made as he has surprised me as I didn't think we would pick up as many points as what we have done this season. However by bringing Odemwingie on after everything that happened is wrong and only makes things worse. I will really judge how he gets on this summer, and how the new players do.

I read that it is close to a sell out tomorrow. I really hope we give them a good game I see us winning tomorrow, there defence looks very prone at times this season hope we play Long, Lukaku and Rosenberg.

I really am desperate for us to get another win and for us to surpass fifty points this season. I think we can beat them they dont have a that many goals in the side and not a lot of pace throughout the side either.

At times his passing and his distribution was very poor. Still unsure about Ridgewell as at times this season he has played really well then at other times he has looked pretty average.

Jose Mourinho will not be Chelsea boss im telling you now ive be saying this scenario for years..

Mourinho is the only man capable of taking over in my humble...

Stories of Lampard to Utd circulated recently too

Jose is not your long term manager, on average he will stay at a club for a few seasons then go on to the next challenge trying to the win league in another country.

David Moyes is a good manager, but is he commercial big enough for Man Utd? Him and Fergie have a very good relationship however. Looking forward to seeing how he gets on with United.

I will say NEVER.

The game against United will be my last Albion home game before I move halfway across the world to start a new job and new life and my last chance to see an Albion game in a very long time.

I will not sacrifice that for an oppositions fans pleasure; no matter what they offered.

This might be quite an emotional game for you personally then mate, living 50 miles away from the Albion feels far enough for me, but half way around the world.
All the best mate.

I just really hope that he wont be part of the lap of honour that we will against after the United game as it will spoil a great ovation that the players will receive.

I was surprised that we only lost 1-0 last night as I was expecting City to score a few goals. we have done quite well against the top four this season, ok not many points but some very promising performances against them.

Three of that back five have hardly played for us this season, and to give a team like Man City very few chances is something to be pretty proud of.

Howling with laughter at that one.

Top five what are you on? Lukaku and Long have been the two strikers that have made the biggest impact this season. Both Fortune and Rosenberg have had good games and Pete would have played for if it not had been for what he had done. Although they are good strikers would any of the top five clubs seriously consider bringing any of those players in?

« on: May 08, 2013, 08:11:13 AM »

We need to keep him.Hes a class act

When he gets his first goal for us, then he could and hopefully will go on a great run. Before the Wigan game I was very much thinking that he would be gone in the summer but the last two performances make me think that he can do it for us.

« on: May 08, 2013, 07:50:49 AM »

I was pleased to see Dawson in the starting eleven last night, I thought he played well and it showed as City had few chances in the second half. I would like to see him lay again this season.

West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Markus Rosenberg

« on: May 08, 2013, 07:48:38 AM »

I thought that he played well again last night, starting to think that we maybe shouldn't get rid of him in the summer as that's two games in a row that he has played well in now.

I'm going for Lukaku caused the Man City defence quite a few problems especially in the first half and looked very dangerous, and also had a great flick for Long in the second half.
