I'don't'recognise'the'club'i'loved'anymore.Mercena ry'players,a'distant'owner'turgid'boring'football' and'whingeing'fans.

Cheerio then. You're one of the whingeing fans you mention above.
I'm no happy clapper by any means, but I came on here because I now live 250 miles away from the ground, and have enjoyed 'talking' to like-minded Albion-till-I-die fans. So many on here are starting to whinge, and I'm afraid it's catching, so goodbye cruel "fans".
