"Like watching Brazil"

[mickd1961]

According to a bloke interviewed leaving The Custard Bowl on Saturday.

Wow.
















If I remember correctly we're the opposition not Boro?

" Its just like watching Brazil "

That became OUR song when we went up to the Prem in 1997-98, so we own copyright on it. :D

Wouldn't be the first time they've nicked another teams song mate.

I hadn't realised the quality was quite so good in that division.








I'm really looking forward to our relegation now.

Can't remember the last time Brazil lost at home to Cardiff?

Can anybody help?

[BaggieBlood]

Just like watching Alan Brazil on the p!Ss.

Falling down at the slightest touch and calling for the ref's head.

Welcome to English football nono.

[BaggieBlood]

Did you hear wm last night mick.

A dingle rang up and was creaming himself.

Apparently he'd got a ticket for today's game a few weeks ago and had it as pride of place in his caravan.

Everytime he looked at the ticket it got him "excited" he said.

I hope he made the game given all the "hardcore" going too.

Who knows the fictitious north east "supporters" club may try to see Barca lona.

Lona being the operative word.

If my local library had as many loans as that lot it wouldn't have shut down.

''It's like watching Brazil.''
Perhaps he meant its like watching Alan Brazil humping a munter.

[mickd1961]

Another stellar result....this time at mighty Brentford.

Must've been well worth the 14 hour round trip from Newcastle and the likes.

Yeah right.

The nearest that bull sh!tter gets to a match is when when he's trying to get his camp fire going.

You've got to give some credit to that boring inbred 71, at least he attends a game here or there, when he's not posting comment after comment of monotonous c rap.

The Dings played some really good stuff today.












They were playing ASTON VILLA folks.......yes......ASTON VILLA featuring Alan Hutton and James Chester not Barcelona with Messi and Iniesta!

That said.....you can only thrash what's put infront of you so fair play.

[Acido]

Who do you West Brom & Wolves fans 'support' as neutrals, when one or the other are playing the Villingham mob ?. ;)

(we're the same, when Leeds & Sheff Wensdy & Sheff United play and kick the hell out of each other. Its hard to know who to 'support' for one game!)

[WBA53]

Let them have their little moment in the sunshine,can't wait for the harsh winter to bite at their suntanned backs,strange feeling today though whichever way it swung would be disappointing in some ways,think one of them will come up though but not both

Whilst at my non league club's butt f King today some Albion fans I was with were discussing this very topic Acido and the 100% consensus was for a Wolves win.

Amongst most slightly older Albion fans the Villa are the most hated local rival and in truth the Wolves rivalry has intensified in only the last 25-30 years or so since we stupidly gave away Steve Bull to them.

Speaking purely as a football fan I do think they are a very good side to watch and I expect them to come up this season and more than hold their own next season.

Mickd 1961, the voice of reason. At least you appreciated that we looked good today. It was also a good advert for the Championsip.

[Acido]

Were you at the recent Barnsley game Abbo ?.
While I reckon you didnt deserve to win that game, I admit that we werent capable of winning it either but I think we definitely deserved to get what looked like a stoppage time draw!. :O

Looking at the derby matches again though, arent these the games what we always look forward to and it begs the question again.... Do we REALLY want our local rivals to go down at the end of a season ?.
(when it means having to go away to Brentford or Colchester for example the following season, and no offense to those teams, Im thinking of the long journeys when a local derby match would surely be the better option ?.)

[Leicesterbaggie]

Following the Albion since the fifties I always looked upon Wolves as our greatest rivals. This was probably because through the fifties and sixties Wolves and ourselves were considered as top sides. However, there has been a decline in both our fortunes since that period. We have had similar problems even though it started a little later for us and happily we have had an upsurge in the recent past. We have not played Wolves on a regular basis for some time now and, in my opinion, this has diluted the rivalry to a degree. Until Villa were relegated they were our biggest rivals because of playing them regularly.

If I had to come down on one side or the other I would go for Wolves. I feel that Villa fans still look upon themselves as a 'big' club, which they are not. Looking at the two sides now, Wolves look much the better side and will be in the mix for promotion at the end of the season. At best, Villa will be vying for the play offs.

[Leicesterbaggie]

For some reason my first post didn't appear, now it has!

[WBA1955]

Fair play to Wolves, they are getting results and playing good stuff as well. The test will come when they hit a bad patch and how they recover from it.
As for who i view as the biggest rivals, for me it's always Wolves, but for many Albion it's Villa, geographically and historically, three cup finals and just three miles apart.
It would be similar to Wolves having two rival clubs in Codsall and Albrighton. Wolves have a very big catchment area. We are the closest apart from when they are in the same division as Walsall, so their rivalry with us is fiercer than ours with them.

Acido, yes I was at the Barnsley game, and as I posted on your board your side played very well on the day. However, yesterday we played at a different level and in all honesty I don't think many Championship clubs would have been a match for us.

As for local rivalry, I have been following the wolves now for over sixty five years and West Brom have always been our main rivals. Still surprising that many players have moved between the two clubs.

HI Abbo, Albion played a big part in your history.Ist Ronnie Allen got you promotion in 67 and signed the Doog. Then when you was in the 4th, Ally Rob,Dennison ,Thompson and Bully got to be your best ever transfers.
At the moment looking good for promotion.

[WBA1955]

Albion fans also had a whip round for them when they went bust, Lloyd.
I can't understand why they dislike us so much.

[wbatillidie]

Yeah can we have our money back!

[grabut]

Yes it has been like watching Brazil, what a team. They are a pleasure to watch and yes Wolves are lucky , villa, derby and leeds took a chance on proven cloggers . Wolves went the way of talented youngsters and a manager who likes to play football, they have also been paid a lot less than them at Villa yet Bruce says its unfair. Villa are another hoof it and hope team (Wolves done it for years ) , bruce, Warnock ( I do like the bloke ) are just what English football doesn't need. England will never win anything if we see managers like these as a way forward.
Mad Mick ( great bloke ) and proven championship manager, would certainly get a promotion charge going but has never really been given money and may be better without it. Nigel Clough would be a fit, good luck in the championship.

[WBA1955]

Ironic Wolves have gone total football and we have gone hoof ball. For us Baggies brought up watching the beautiful game, this is as bad as going down.

[mickd1961]

This is a lesson in keeping one’s powder dry.

At the time I wrote this we’d won our first two matches and I posted that we only needed another eight wins and a few draws to stay up and it wasn’t even September at that point.

One win in 31 matches later........FFS.

Well done to the Wolves....they richly deserve their title and there fans haven’t got carried away.








This time!

[Acido]

.. This time!

Ahh now your talking Mick, 'This time' what an England World cup song that was (in 1982 of course lol)...
"This time, more than any other time this time, we're going to find a way, find a way to get away this time, getting it altogether, we'll get it right!." ;)

There is one five word statement in the above that will have all Albion fans (that's every Albion fan everywhere not just on this board) disagreeing with grabut.
I don't feel I need to point it out.

Here BMG another thread a couple of months before mine, where's your indignation here?

Nowhere, your issue is with me not anybody else!!!
