Oh, the Grand old Duke of York,
He told a massive lie,
He told it once, he told it twice,
And he hoped the case would die.

But, then he couldn’t sweat,
A pizza he did get,
And hid away on his Mums estates from a girl he’d never met.

The absolute highlight of both games was Johnny Crumplin, football genius, nutmegging John Barnes.

I took my nephew to the first game at Anfield. We came back from 2-0 down, to get the replay.

The replay was an excellent game, as you say, we also led in the first half of extra time, only to lose 3-2.

We were in the relegation zone for about 10 days in our first PL season. We came out of it with a draw against Watford, and have never been back in it - until now.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Palace. Same rules broken, but does UEFA have the balls to ban them.

Rupert isn’t a bulldog, Rupert was a bear who wore tartan trousers.

About 100 Albion fans having a kick about outside a boozer in Cardiff.

A really great day out.

You’ve had 9 players booked this season time wasting.

You mean Rice getting sent off for a justified second yellow?

We have had 4 players booked for the same thing this season.
I’ve never heard as much whinging from a fan base as you lot.
Just admit it, you’re not as good as Liverpool or City.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

You’ve been time wasting since you scored. Feigning injury, taking an age to get the ball back in play. And Taylor has given you every 50/50.

Taylor, the big 6 favourite referee.

Unfortunately Mike, I am at an age, if I lie on my back, in a dark room with my eyes closed, I’d be asleep in 5 minutes, it wouldn’t matter what I was listening to.

Hey everyone, Lilian is an 8 year old Birmingham City fan who's in desperate need of a stem cell transplant. It's urgent and her Nan obviously is very concerned.

If anyone, anywhere can help to make this happen quickly, please get in touch.

Let's get this little girl well.

Thank you ❀️

What a weekend that was!
If you are going to be promoted to Division 1 for the first time ever, Newcastle away is the place to do it.

Happy Birthday Alan.

Snatch your hand off for a draw. They are very good at home.

This game will be as tough as Newcastle away was. I would snatch your hand off for a similar result.

I think it is a draw at best, though.
Tough place to go these days.

5 bad decisions in the Spurs game, handball by Dier(?), Mitoma goal, disallowed for handball, Welbeck goal, disallowed for handball,foul on Mitoma in the box, and foul on Dunk from a corner.

Yes, I’m still bitter.

I started going with a school friend and his Dad.
Unfortunately, my old man wasn’t a huge football fan.
I recently reconnected with some cousins after about 50 years, they all support the Albion and so do all my family.

It’s in the blood.
