    Eve, Go and flaw your own version then of "who are the top Black Country Club".
    I only took the trouble to produce this League a few years back because I couldn't believe the words of a D1n5le at work, who kept telling me "You've ALWAYS been in our shadow"!!!
    What a gobsh*te he turned out to be, eh!

    Perhaps you'd like to give double points to The 50s. Or maybe discount the Years you laboured in the 4th Division.
    Or "Ah, but we've always been > you in F.A.Cup history".........because Albion are 9th in that, and you're 13th".

    Sorry, Baggies fans. I know we hide our light under a bushel usually, but this might shut up the 2 D1ngle5 on this Board for a few weeks.

    If you want to be Dingle free from a thread then it is absolutely no use giving them personal abuse as this is what they do best and will undoubtedly respond with.

    I got rid of them of my 'tonking the Wo1ve5' thread by outing one of them as a Eurovision fan, not a word since. I've told him before I'd like to have a battle of wits but I don't like to fight an unarmed man.

    I did have a chuckle while reading your post regarding the last time the UK won the Eurovision ........

    I genuinely didn't know the answer to this so just looked it up which was the the most recent, a Wo1ve5 win at the Hawthorns or a UK Eurovision win?

    And the answer is

    A UK Eurovision Win.

    Gave me another chuckle to go along with yours.
