    West Brom Tickets

    Guaranteed to break the stadium attendance record this one surely, at least for league matches.

    Luton game moved to 12:30

    How do you even know? Did you stay in the stadium to witness that, you psycho? I was already halfway back to Waterloo by the time they did that. The thought of witnessing that still makes me feel sick now.

    Matchday Rewind Coventry City 2 - 1 Chelsea | Sat, 15 Aug, 1998

    Nah his last goal was at the Dell. I was there for that. A header.

    Paul Telfer, and its a hill I'm prepared to die on.

    Childhood (non) heroes that don't make sense

    I was 11 in 1987. Never liked Keith Houchen or Dave Bennett. And I can't explain why. Anybody else got any random players they didn't like?

    Who was you childhood hero?

    Joke go over your head, mate? ps he spelt Gallacher wrong. I'm too good for this forum, I shouldn't have to explain my gags.

    Who was you childhood hero?

    You can't have a childhood hero and spell his name wrong. I don't think you liked David Burrows at all.

    Who was you childhood hero?

    Terry Gibson was my first. Cried my eyes out when he left. Then Oggy and Cyrille were mainstays throughout the rest of my childhood with very honourable mentions to Speedie, Gallacher and Ndlovu.

    Eight Years Ago

    Been thinking about these Wembley visits. They have coincided with some really poor kits. In fact the only really decent kit we've worn at Wembley was the only one we lost. 16/17 - by far the worst kit we've ever had 86/87 - our greatest ever team being forced to wear blue and white stripes...

    Eight Years Ago

    My twat of a mate took a picture of me at the final whistle crying (I'm emotional at the best of times tbf) and he sends it to me on the anniversary each year. Like I said, he's a twat!

    Who gives a fuck? I'd argue we'd be using it as justification of our standing in the world if we'd won anything pre-war. We're pushing 40 years on from winning the FAC and we still bang on about as much today as we did then. When does that cease to be relevant?

    Yeah I do get that last bit! Anybody not in my Panini sticker albums between 1984 and 1988 had all the footballing relevance of a pub team. I still struggle to accept that Wolves are anything other than an amateur team that have somehow fluked current top flight football.

    We've done that a handful of times in the last 50 years, mate. If 'big' is based on success, which I'd argue should be, both Burnley and Blackburn have spent much more time in the top flight than us (60/72/34).

    Depends how you deem a club to be big or small. Current standings are purely money-based and Bournemouth have had a wealthy backer for the last decade. Prior to that they have spent almost their entire existence in tier 3 and 4 playing in front of crowds between 4-6K. They're 'natural'...

    Amongst the best in the league? We're the best in Europe statistically aren't we? Agree, Rudoni feels key for this one.

    Struggling to feel much confidence about this. We tend to concede in most games and that risk will only increase without Dovin/Wilson. Burnley have conceded 6 away goals all season which is obscene so conceding first will potentially feel terminal. A draw will fee like a win and would give...

    I've just looked at the first goalscorer odds as well. Haji Wright 13/2 Thomas-Asante 13/2 Aidan Dausch 13/2 Ellis Simms 7/1 Poor Ellis. I've got as much chance of being in the squad as two of those above him.
