Oh dear.

[The Moose]

Sorry guys, didn't intend to get 'em bumped off. Spoils the baiting,eh?
Fish in a barrel. Roll on Monday....

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

Heh heh. Thanks for playing ladies, you lot of even simpler to wind up than i expected.

C U Next TueSday to do some mopping up.

We know what you are.

Priceless

Is this how the young people enjoy themselves these days? Post some semi-literate, misogynistic nonsense on the internet, then skip away saying they've won?

Why didn't he use the gate?

Saft bay they.

Rattled by Albion, I know what you are.

You all sound like some delerious old bufoon who used to have some semi important position in life and hadn't realised its long gone. Football has changed ladies, so have the times. Income streams are from places other than the  turnstile, 1982 is31 years ago and if anything it's that melancholic strumming over once peice of glory that holds you back as a club.

We'll beat you again on Monday and finish above you again. Why ? Because we are a better side. In a few years reality will start sinking in and the throstle will have already flown.

It's 2013 you know.....some clubs are even the plaything of a random yank!

The amusing thing about Albion fans is this "we'll finish above you, and we'll beat you again" being passed off as if it's the norm.

How many times have they beaten us in the last 28 years?

I believe it is a figure close to 1.

You're being very mean, what he said was very accurate but in his rush to finish posting it he missed the word eventually out.

So the yam yams are the new force in these parts, are they? Yeah right.  When Beelzebub gets icicles up his arse, when Shergar wins the Grand National ridden by a risen Christ. And when Tipton gets voted 2020 City of Culture. Until then, you inbred, vowel-strangling twats, wind yer necks in.

Heh heh. Thanks for playing ladies, you lot of even simpler to wind up than i expected.

Have fun searching for that elusive tardis.....ta-ra!

King of the come-backs. We'm bin told, ay it?

[Mortimer's Bear]

0-3

Gabby, Weimann, Vlaar

[Caiphus]

I seem to have missed the fun...

I'm glad the Baggies got an apology - in my opinion there is less chance of a square-up dubious penalty being awarded in their favour when the refs have already shown contrition.  Combine both outcomes and it will have swung too much back the other way, now the ref can just get on with taking the game on its own merits.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Sod that.

Ref on big man, ref on!

Why didn't he use the gate?

Saft bay they.

because it's ajar.

'....Yow alright mate?...

Clearly. From everyone else's perspective.

Anyone hazard a guess as to how the teams will line up?

I expect Clark will be retained at left back. Decision over whether Bacuna will play in midfield is a big one. I'd leave him at right back. The international break came at a good time for us and hopefully Benteke, Delph and Gabby are back to full fitness. If not then I think we are going to struggle.
The Baggies look strong at centre back and midfield. Reid and Ridgewell are physically strong players but can be got at. If Delph isn't back and at his best I think we could get a run around in midfield. Berahinho, Anelka and Sessegnon will certainly give Clark more to think about.
I hope they go with Anichebe as Baker should be able for him. Long will cause more problems.

We will need a much improved performance to win this.

[Matt Collins]

Massively depends on who's still injured. If guzan's out I think we'll lose.

Clark, Delph, Weimann and hopefully benteke seemed set to come back- but gabby and luna and Bennett still out? Is that the word on the street?

If so I might go:

Guzan - lowton vlaar baker clark - sylla  Westwood Delph - bacuna benteke Weimann

But the idea of bacuna in a front three isn't entirely convincing. Perhaps Tonev with bacuna in midfield.

I've got a feeling he may put kozak and benteke up front which I'm not really convinced by, not least because if the implications for how we set up in midfield
