VIVA LES BAGGIES!!! (off topic, of course)
Captain Marvel does it.
West Brom survive.
Goodbye to Crystal 'half our goals are from dubious penalties' Palace. Plus their chairman is the allegedly Frank of football.
Goodbye to turncoat Redknapp with his grotesque pension-plan-for-my-son nepotism. Let's see how loyal Fatha and son are next season.
Goodbye to Norwich, whom I haven't really got an axe to grind with.
Boing, and indeed, boing.

I was at the Hawthorns today and what a day it was. I've spent the rest of the day picking up money from Wolves fans, who bet me at the beginning of the season that they would get promoted and that we would get relegated
I feel abit guilty taking the simple little dingle boys money, but as my dad says "A fool and his money are soon parted"

Can I ask you baggy fans what do you think of the way Robson has handled Robert Earnshaw.
You seem to be a much better side when he is on the pitch, yet he rarely gets a start. I do find it odd.
I wish you all the best for next season, you need to get rid of the dead wood that is costing the club a fortune (Kanu) - cause its going to be difficult again next season.

I was a bit miffed you stayed up to be honest (no offence lads) because the missus and I were planning on going to see Argyle at the Baggies next season and I have absolutely no intention of going to Norwich.
Still, good to see Southampton (well, Rupert Lowe) go down - definately going there - and I'll probably go to the Palace game and stay with mates, too.

Regarding Earnshaw, I'm not a massive fan of his in all honesty. He can find the net which is an obvious major asset, but his first touch isn't particularly good and his passing is shocking. I don't think we are a better alround team when he is on the pitch. I agree with Robsons stance on Earnie. Although Earnie is good to bring off the bench when the oposition are getting tired and you need a goal.stujones wrote:Can I ask you baggy fans what do you think of the way Robson has handled Robert Earnshaw.

I wish we could get rid off Kanu. Robson should get a fair bit of money in the summer hopefully, he needs to spend it wisely.

I'm a Southampton season ticket holder. Obviously I'm gutted but I'd already accepted relegation was inevitable while stood on the terrace at Fratton Park watching a couldn't-give-a-crap team of overpaid twats get a complete mauling at the hands of our bitter local rivals.
Fair play to West Brom and all the best to them for next season. Also good luck to Norwich and Palace because it's been a hell of a battle and they've won a hell of a lot of respect from me about the way they went about trying to stay up.
Hopefully we'll come back up pretty soon but it isn't gonna be easy. A big clear out is needed and hopefully some of our shit hot under 18's (watch out for the name Theo Walcott) will be given a chance. At least they'll fornicating try.

Seeing him in a Wales and Cardiff shirt I agree about his passing and touch (on times) - although for Wales he seems to get his goals early and his pace can frighten very good defenders early on.Chambers2 wrote:Regarding Earnshaw, I'm not a massive fan of his in all honesty.

Robson has recently questioned his effort in training and I do believe this might be the cause to why he rarely starts - and I don't blame him if correct.
His goal scoring record for the Baggies has been excellent, especially if you consider his goal draught at the start of his Baggies career and the amount of minutes he has been on the pitch. I know there have been a few penalties but I do believe he is a premiership class striker and has been a tad unlucky with the amount of minutes played.
The likes of Horsefield and Kanu are not exactly brilliant either.
Kanu can go for me, he has sublime skill at times, but rarely with an end product. I'm a fan of Horsfields and I think the way he plays suits the way Robson wants us to play.stujones wrote:Seeing him in a Wales and Cardiff shirt I agree about his passing and touch (on times) - although for Wales he seems to get his goals early and his pace can frighten very good defenders early on.Chambers2 wrote:Regarding Earnshaw, I'm not a massive fan of his in all honesty.

Earnie is a crowd favourite at the Albion and as you say his goal ratio is excellent, if he can improve on a couple of aspects in his game (passing especially) then I think he can be a top Premiership striker. Robson seems to like a striker who can hold the ball up like Kev Campbell and The Horse and thats not one of Earnies fortes
He might just need abit more time to settle in to the Prem, as its a BIG step up from the Championship and alot of international games.
Kevin Campbell is one of those players who I think was unlucky never to have an England cap. He was a brilliant youngster at the Arsenal - looks like Crouch might get a cap, which makes Campbell never having one even worse.
Of course, not in the last 3-4 years, but when he was in his pomp he was quality.

at work we have a predict the league postions and the differnce between the final postion and the prediction = 1 pt so say Man unitd were predicted 2nd and they came 3rd that 1 pt.
100 pound each to enter and winner takes all.
I went for everton 7th next nearest was 16th so i got 3 pts while the other guy got 14 so a handy head start ponm everyone if you see what i mean.
