Yep agree with TheHeretic, your next 4/5 games are all winable, lets see were you are in the New Year and people will take you seriously.
I remember the 78/79 Albion team, that team finished top 4 IIRC?
Are you still allowed to call the Baston, Cunningham and Regis the 3 degrees in todays PC world? That was a decent sidebiggrin
3rd place in '79 behind Liverpool and Everton. That was the first year I watched WBA, so it's nice to watch a successful team again after 33 years!

Makes you laugh when other 'top team' fans complain and whine because they were only 3rd, or 5th, and so on.

As soon as you either (a) have success or (b) get shed loads of money, expectation goes through the roof. I'm sure most Albion fans now expect us to finish 9/10/11th, when five years ago this would have been unthinkable.

Being an Albion fan is hard work, it's fantastic at the moment yet out reliance on Shane Long, Mulumbu and Olson/McAuley is terrifying, let's see how we do injury wise!

Think you guys were just unlucky last night and played us at the wrong time. The first 45 mins was the best i have ever seen us play in over 20 years! I think any team in the league would have struggled? Tho I still think our manager is probably our best player!!

To be fair to you guys, you nicked one back and stayed in contention in the 2nd half.

But as my fellow supporter says, I reckon some of the best teams in Europe would have struggled to cope with our first half performance last night. We were peerless in attack.

Good luck against Stoke!

Oh good, he defended very well for us a couple of weeks ago. We were in little danger of conceding a goal until RDM took him off........
