I’m sure it’s been done somewhere before, but in the top flight of English football?

Playing down expectations because of our injury situation? Last year he was pushing the players to believe they could finish in the top 4 so it seems slightly unusual for him to publicly say top 10 this time. I think it’s a fair target (along with going far in one or both of the cups) which...

Hoping that someone on NSC has some personal experience of this and can help me out. I currently have a inguinal hernia, which I would describe as pretty mild. It’s located at the top of my groin, just below the hip. It’s hard to be exact as it doesn’t protrude like hernias can do. I’m still...

The train strike next week has scuppered our travel plans for this one. I’m sure there must be others in the same boat - has anyone managed to find alternative travel? Or does anyone know of any coaches running for it?

I see Barnsley won today, meaning The Championship goes into the final round of fixtures with the rather unusual situation of 2 spots still needing to be filled from a potential 5 teams. Hull are bottom and can still stay up mathematically but it’s not happening. And that of course doesn’t even...

4-5-1, served us very well last year and it was our favoured formation without fail. Can't complain about that, we played some fantastic football. However, this isn't a moan or anything like that, just would like to see what others think, is it now time we occasionally change it? Away from home...

Looking like being the Tiger show from a coverage point of view but what is everyone thinking? I always get drawn to Bubba Watson at Augusta and Louis Oosthuizen is normally great value as an e/w punt.

Same problem as the year we finished 3rd in the Championship. Hughton signed Duffy last year to alleviate the problem but it's reared its ugly head again. Has to be down to the way we set up for them. Should be bread and butter especially for a side down the bottom like us who may well be...

"I do want you dead, in fact I want you dead right now! You get back in your car before you die"[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] https://www.facebook.com/horace.beaumont/posts/257179041465763 Anyone seen this yet? Some hilarious lines.

Has it ever happened in an Albion game before? Honestly never seen anything like it. Four NON-CONTACT injuries to the spine of our team and then our best player in a play off semi final. There is a genuinely a curse on us.

Turning to the wisdom of NSC for some help acquiring Ajax tickets. A mate and I are going there next week and hoping to go to the Ajax Zwolle game. Had spoken to a few people who said it would be easy enough rocking up and sorting something out on the day. After Cruyff's passing and it being the...

Was there a replay of it? Looked a good chance to me at the time.

If we beat Wigan today (yes, I know) then they will be officially relegated. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that will make it the third season in a row we have officially relegated someone. Last season we beat Yeovil at home to officially send them down, and the season before that we beat...

Forget football, forget the Albion, the Masters is only a few days away - where's your money going? Will Woods turn up? Will Rory win his first Masters? Rickie Fowler hasn't been in the best of form recently but he gave a good showing at the Majors last year. Can get 40/1 with some bookies...

One for stattos. I make it that we've scored 12 goals from set piece plays in the league and 20 from open play. Players no longer with us who scored whilst here: Colunga scored 3 goals (admittedly only 1 from open play). Bent scored 2. Gardner scored 2. That means the current squad...

Bit late bringing this up now, but did anyone else notice Bent pull up in the pre-match warm up? I was massively hung-over (thus actually watching the warm-up as opposed to being on the concourse), but I'm sure he pulled up and was taken to one side to do some stretches as the rest of the...

Anyone know of any good ones? Or have any decent tips? Apologies if there's already been a thread on this.

Not been very kind to us in play off matches, has it? Never mind. A draw would have been a fair result. We had a couple of chances which forced their keeper into good saves - especially the one that he tipped onto the bar. They looked threatening on the counter but failed to test TK. Keep...

Excuse the lousy pun. Common knowledge now that Errea are in their final year with us and Adidas/Nike are taking over, so what's been your favourite Errea kit from the last 15 years? And what's your most despised? I suspect for many the most revered will be the first they produced with Skint...

After Watford I got thinking about my away record as I was struggling to remember the last time I had seen us win. Done a little bit of tracking and my last 25 attended games reads: W 3 L 10 D 12 Goals for 21 Goals against 47 Pretty dismal. Can anyone trump it?
