What exactly do you base that on - the massive difference between them and us in the league?


Them finishing above us the last two seasons ?



Sorry, I thought you said the here and now.

Get with it you happy clapper. The Bitters may have scored a goal less than lowly mid-table Aston Villa, but they've conceded two fewer and that's why they're high flying one place and one goal ahead of us in the table. How are we meant to square that circle?! In the here and now, they're miles ahead of us. Duh.

I think its time you rolled out "that" post, for all of those who don't share the requisite amount of antipathy for Sandwell Town.

you could put the Baggies and Spurs in the same deluded pot........Stripey Filth are crowing as they are above the Villa on goal average......

big fucking deal, let's see where we both are in the table after 38 games you tramps.

Spurs are a far bigger club than Albion - no comparison , I see Albion more in comparison with leicester city.

Don't really understand the distaste shown toward the baggies

You live thousands of miles away, you wouldn't.

I like to think we have a plan.
Young, hungry, progressive. Getting better. (albeit slowly)
I can't see a Baggies' plan. Best players on loan. Relying too much on external "maybes".
A strong sense of controlled crisis management.
Struggling to stay at the dizzy heights they've reached in the last two seasons.
We'll finish above them this season. Easily.



Good call. When do you ever hear of an Albion player being linked with a high value move to a  bigger club e.g. one of the Sky 4 (5?, 6?) They have not exactly got a massively coveted squad.

A Palace win and a couple of Bannan goals would be nice today.

An hour after the event and the Villa - Cardiff match is the only one not to have a complete report on the BBC and still has the 5 line full time report on it. Even the CP v Everton match that finished 15 minutes later has a full descriptive report.

I heard the match report on this and bannan was rated as excellent in centre midfield - head and shoulders the best player on the pitch by all accounts against everton .

Bannan wouldn't be head and shoulders above the Mayor of Munchkinland.

Fact is, dross like the Olbiyun and B-lose only finish above us when we are pish. 

Mid>lower table for most clubs with any sort of pedigree or self respect would be nothing to shout about. But then we are talking about our neighbours, so pedigree and self respect were never really in the equation in the first place.

I'd imagine that it's fairly standard for journalists to talk about the origins of any sort of campaign they're reporting on.  So who started this one again?!
