This is the real frustration for me now. We just don't seem to have any quality around the box.

To lose it at the death would have been unbelievably cruel, so I'm glad that Blues goal didn't stand. Two performances in a row with some real character on display. Two games unbeaten. Two clean sheets. Maybe there *is* hope. Boing boing! #wba

And...breathe. #wba

Plus shades of Brian O'Hanrahan's 'I counted them all out and I counted them all back' in Lutnick's mention of leaving with ALL his children.

Anyone got the odds on Mandelson being appointed as Starmer's next chief of staff? #mcsweeney

Pretty average first half from Albion. So that's a massive improvement. #wba

The West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City teams emerge from the players’ tunnel at The Hawthorns for Albion's home game in the 2025-26 EFL Championship season.

Baaaaaaaaaaaggggggies! #wba

I hear you! Do you also labour under the belief that there's a magical time in future when you will DEFINITELY pay that email...and that email...and that email...your full attention? I have emails that have been waiting for replies for MONTHS because of that delusion. Have I MET MYSELF?! 😂

Is it the farthing?

Hearing it might be Ben Swain.

There's no point pretending that Prince Andrew has miraculously become a 'commoner'. If he ought to face questions now, he should have faced them when the allegations first emerged. The UK monarchy can't claim immunity from the consequences of his behaviour just because of some fatuous rebranding.

Or Bostock who, if anything, has been punished for a great performance in the FA Cup.

My heart goes out to our away fans. What an utterly abysmal season. No win away since 1 October, apparently. #wba

I really hoped we'd never return to the dismal era of the late 80s/early 90s, but it's feeling inevitable. I can't blame Mason or Ramsay for taking the job, but the board really does need to consider who around their table actually understands how to run a bang average football club in the UK. #wba

Wow. #wba

Data, eh? #wba

It could result in something we're just not used to here: a broad coalition that represents most of the voters. I'm just not sure we have a generation of politicians capable of functioning that way. Plus, a hell of a lot is going to happen before we get to vote.

Wow. What a fantastic variety!

YouTube video by HARRY HILL The Harry Hill Show - Stewart Lee

This is an utter joy. There's a whole bit in the middle which exists only to perplex the audience (plus comedian Stewart Lee momentarily) about what exactly is going on. And anyone who's seen his Wulf-man tour will enjoy Lee's performance in full-body hamster costume.

Ugly but, bloody hell, a great point against a side who always seem to beat us. Boing boing! #wba

OMG!

They'll score another four now. #wba

Courageous, as Sir Humphrey used to say.

It's reminiscent of the time that all the columnists turned up on Twitter and ruined it.

Until the next time the release of the Epstein files creep up the media agenda.

Not long since got home. Still coming to terms with what I witnessed today. (Albion, that is. Not that fecking psychopath US president.) #wba

Well, I've seen better halves of football. #wba
