    Nail the lid shut day.

    It will be today if we lose or draw.

    Then again we might win the next six on the bounce and be sipping Newcastle Brown with an umbrella on top 5 games before the end of the season wondering what all the fuss was about.



    I’m investing in a hammer and nails rather than a pint glass and decorative arrangement!

    Away in Tenby Des....beautiful winters day.

    Previously in my life there’s no way I would’ve missed today’s game but priorities have changed and I haven’t missed being there at all.

    I felt the pang of pain at each goal going in and the result but it’s like I’m sad for the years that have long passed rather than for this present “vintage”.

    Clueless Chinese owner

    Terrible stewardship by inept chairman and cohorts

    Pulis

    SKY money

    Player attitudes

    All of the above have crucified Albion for me.

    Hard to believe you can love something for so long but find yourself ambivalent and uninterested.

    A sad day all round.

    I fully agree with your above comments as to why we're in such an awful mess. The only caviat would be that I wouldn't question all the players' attitudes, but some of them certainly. I do believe that there are more problems than just those on the field of play. If you are well run at the top it tends to permeate through the whole club and it is obvious that we are not well run. West Bromwich Albion need a complete overhaul from top to bottom.

    I have similar feelings. Just as in life where our fortunes often vary in cycles I now think that it’s the end of mine.
    So there I was freezing my nuts off with my right ear ringing because the bloke behind me was banging those clappers on the empty seat next to me and I thought …. That’s it, I’m done here
    I’ve supported WBA since 67 and witnessed some good and bad times over the years but I need to give it a rest. In all honesty I’ve not enjoyed the match day experience since the 5 all ManU game.
    We will rise again sometime into the future with a new young team and new set of enthusiastic supporters. They will in turn have their day and there will be new kings to cheer on.
    Life goes no…

    Lots of nodding going on here.
    I had my day a few season's back when we played out a nil nil draw with a pathetic Villa outfit. Decided that money, and more importantly, time could be better spent. I've a lovely wife, rather stay with her than embarking on a 7 hour jolly to the football just to sit there uninterested.
    I will catch a thread for the games but that's only 2 hours and easy enough to walk away from if desired (though I rarely do).
    Pulis was my catalyst. If he hadn't have been then I'm sure someone/something else would have been.

    Get Megson back until the end of the season, if he does well offer him a contract.

    The Albion board/owner cannot just sit back and watch us limp on till the end of the season while losing every game remaining. Whether its too late or not we need a new manager now even if it is to show we aint going down without a fight. Just do something ffs.

    All the big time charlies of Barcelona fame will be the first to hand in transfer requests.

    IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN THEIR CHOICE.
