The premier league doesn't need another london club, another midlands club is ALWAYS preferable, whoever it may be (except Vale of course). We are going to have to put up with another "all london" FA cup final borefest which I can do without.
I'm rooting for WBA on wednesday.

In the 70’s I used to drive to the Hawthorns on a crappy, slightly Mod, scooter. God knows where I parked it but it was always there to get me back!
Those were the days when you just paid at the turnstile.
A bit different now. I

I remember Bobby Cram, the last full back in the entire history of the world to score a hat trick.
And Clive Clarke, a proper tricky left winger, regularly kicked up in the air by Bill Asprey, the full back least likely to score a hat trick in the entire history of the world.

Great post OS, my best mate is a Baggies fan too, i’ve always liked them, very similar to us, down to earth honest fans, albeit think they’re west Brazil at times😊 That (West Brazil) was under Tony Mowbray. Baggies fans adored him for the expansive football they played - though it cost them at times I know My mate still thinks they’re West Brazil. One of my favourite memories was Fuller taking the pee against the Mowbray side 😂

The only time I care about the composition of the PL is when we're in it. I don't watch it so I don't really care who's in it! I'd much rather have WBA and Villa in the Championship with us, closer games, better away days, better rivalries. Ideally we'd all be in the PL at the same time, but if not give me the Albion with us and Brentford in the PL.

I've just read a Baggie on a forum use the phrase "several thumbed granny bum banging turd cousins" to describe Vale fans So this mini-love-in can continue for a little while yet for me, Clive

One of my favourite memories was Fuller taking the pee against the Mowbray side 😂 I was at the "Fuller" game. I had been smuggled in by my mate and was sitting with their fans. I remember a little old lady sitting next to me offering me a sweetie to console me after the 3rd goal went in. Little did she know ...

Have to admit that I have a really soft spot for The Baggies. One of my very best buddies was a Baggies fan. I used to go to The Hawthornes as his guest and he came to The Vic as mine for many years. His name was Jimmy but he's still known affectionately in my family as Jimeye. A bit about Jimeye. He was born in Oldbury in 1941 and spent most of his life until he was about 17 in and out of children's homes and staying with foster carers. Some of the shit he went through would make headlines today in the tabloids. Feral as a rabid dog he was. I was feral but he made me look like a pampered pooch. We met when we were 19 and worked at a trucking company in Marchington. We did all nights, carrying coal from North Derbyshire to the coking plant at Saltley in Brum. It was a crazy time. Think of the film 'Hell Drivers' and you get an idea of what went on. Jimeye was living with a wench from Ucheter and quite often you'd see us tipping up a load of pinched coal outside their house at 3 o'clock in the morning. (We made more out of selling coal than we did from our driver's pay.) Whatever. It all came to an end when we went to clock on and the boss said Jimeye was sacked because he'd left his truck with a flat tyre when we knocked off that morning. Naturally, if Jimeye was sacked then so was I. We both buggered off in my two-tone Mk1 Zephyr Zodiac, laughing our heads off and went and did other stupid things together. And that friendship lasted all our lives. But why am I telling you this? It's because when the final whistle blew against Brentford, after I'd got over the exhaustion and relief that we'd finally done it, my thoughts turned to the lifeline we'd given to The Baggies. The night before when I saw they'd lost, I was dejected. I knew how my mate Jimeye would have been feeling. He's been dead 10 years and more now, but because he lived and breathed his beloved football club as much as I do mine, I really felt for him as if he was still with me. His team was my team and my team was his team, And Jeff Astle was also my hero because he was Jimeye's hero. This is what happens when you have mates who would walk over red hot coals for you. Anyway, I went round my lad's and we were discussing our win. Then there was a knowing grin between us. We're telepathic at times. We both giggled and I said, "Jimeye." Both our eyes were a bit misty for a short while. So, come on you Throstles! Don't you dare let Jimeye down now! OS. Thank you OS for your evocative memories . I seemed to have some grit in my eye when I read your post. Your only error, which I readily forgive, is adding an 'e' to the Hawthorns.

I did see my error with the 'e' after I'd posted it but I thought I would be forgiven for not editing it. I also suspected one member of the grammar police would pull me up on it. But you're forgiven if for no reason other than I love your username. There are many on here who will not have a clue to its origins. Whatever, let's hope The Baggies score a goal to win the game tonight with a magic bullet shot that hits the post, ricochets off the back of the head of the 'keeper and onto the crossbar, bounces down on the line, spins out to a defender, who then puts it into his own net after one of his own players kicks his legs away while he's trying to avert disaster. OS.

A great tale as ever OS and while I have no huge problem with the baggies per se, it has to be noted that over recent years, there's only been that snake oil salesman Levy at Spuds that has been more successful at taking our trousers down and giving us a thoroughly good transfer spanking.

Im fine with the baggies gewin up ,I have a bit of a soft spot for them. As a kid I used to fire of team photos to various individuals at different clubs to try to get them autographed..some never replied , some did.The very first one I got back was from Jock Wallace the Albion keeper...every player had signed the photo and I was chuffed to little mint balls...

The Baggies are a fairly inoffensive club, so I wish them good luck. Have to maintain the Yo Yo tradition and the Boing Boing Baggies tag.
I worked in Hockley in Birmingham for a while, about a mile up the road from Sandwell/ West Brom, and often passed the ground. Also at my School, near Wolverhampton, there were half a dozen fairly decent true footie fans who followed the Baggies, and I've certainly never hated them. Especially when they always used to be so considerate in letting us win our league encounters.

I remember Clive "Chippy" Clarke. Probably about the same period as Bobby Hope and Asa Hertford.

For the past 35 years or so, wherever one of us has gone, the other has quickly followed.
They were relegated the year after our holocaust season, we were promoted together from the third tier, we were promoted together from the Championship, we were relegated together two years ago.
For that reason alone we should be wishing the baggies well tonight.
