  1. In a perfect world with a deeper bench, no way. As sub only, please. We need two goals before, IMO.
  2. Ha, beat me to World Cup vid ... And in the Lazio-Roma tie, that dickcheese can't even punch like a flippin man. What a wuss. Can't deal with sneaky, cowardly cheaters like that.
  3. Dunno about the rest of the lineup, but I hope we again see this ... Given N'Zogbia Agbonlahor Sinclair
  4. Dani Alves Pepe Branislav Ivanović DeRossi Nigel de Jong Retired, but I can't stand Paul Scholes Dunno any of these people personally, of course -- they may all be lovely chaps if you sat down for a chat, but based on what I see on TV, etc.
  5. Swear I heard that across the Atlantic. I love how articulate the "yeah" actually is. You hear all kinds of indistinct crowd roars, but this one was very, very clear.
  6. Almost literary in its poetics of nonsense. Makes you wonder how the offspring of these Baggie parents* turn out in life with such loving parental sensitivity for the little ones. "Ere, lad, 'av this seat, roight, and stick it on ya yed, roight, to stop the gobs?" * Wait, I think I am one, actually.
  7. It was from WBA corporate, after all, right, so I wouldn't expect much. It does acknowledge "reports of serious misbehavior." I suppose they could have said "alleged criminal behavior" but, again, this is their home side -- they're not going to go out on a limb until the investigation is done.
  8. Beginning to look like the Baggies malefactors will also face serious scrutiny. I am encouraged by WBA's public statement today abhoring the alleged violence and property destruction by their own fans.
  9. Son, have some compassion. These poor Tescos find it difficult to express themselves with words.
  10. Mentioning or alluding to Hillsborough in a football forum should be considered the sport equivalent of Godwin's Law. And anyone who disagrees with me is a Nazi.
  11. I actually think we could beat ManU, with a little luck. Liverpool's energy would be a handful.
  12. Completely stunned that this has become such a big deal, but Baggie fans' alleged criminal property damage and throwing of seats at, among others, children is treated as a footnote. Where is the outrage at them? Where are the sanctimonious calls for bans against them?
  13. I just think we played more creatively and unpredictably today -- and not necessarily by design -- and we outwitted him in a big way because of this. He plays in a very rational style, doesn't he? It often works. It didn't today. He's a great "rehabilitation" manager for certain teams. Not a good fit for our set of issues.
  14. Ugly. I see the report of a chair hitting a kid. And Pulis is castigating Villa for putting too many stewards near the WBA fans?
  15. I don't think Pulis was ever an option for us, but WBA are still a lot closer to safety than we are. I'll be more inclined to express high-handed disdain for Pulis as a professional when we're safe.
  16. Will there be a police investigation of the West Bromwich supporters' alleged property destruction at Villa Park? Why WOULDN'T there be????
  17. Yes, same here. Being in 17th place is horrible. You don't feel secure. You don't feel resigned. You know if you take you're eye off the prize for a moment, you're going down. I would like to see us get some space between us and 17th place.
  18. Yes. I wonder if any had to dodge chairs hurled by their own fans?
  19. I think it was good in every respect for Timbo and co. to have a different, post-Tekkers paradigm to try on for size. It's a forward-looking approach, even if it came about as the result, apparently, of a training injury.
  20. And thus, the jinx is hatched. We're def going to be relegated, OK? Get it straight.
  21. That. If no one got hurt, wtf is the big deal? ... It's a regular occurrence in the US, too, especially at basketball finals. Obviously, it can be dangerous but it's usually celebratory (which can be even more dangerous, actually): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkjhDgEYmCw
  22. Watching this game from 3,400 miles away, I am mostly puzzled by the strong reaction against the pitch-invaders. I know I obviously don't appreciate why it's considered so terrible because it mostly seems like an amusing distraction to laugh off; I'm thinking there must be some dark history of such incidents in Britain, or there's a legal reason? The reaction is one of those moments where I realize I still have so much to learn about the game "over there."
  23. Still can't stop laughing at this. The look on that guy's face -- the jaw-dropping silliness. Too much.
