    [Albion] How much appreciation will you show Roberto De Zerbi after the match tomorrow?

    He oversaw our best-ever finish and got us into Europe. Anything but a rousing send-off would be churlish in the extreme.

    [Albion] Do you think Roberto De Zerbi wants to be here?

    He's on the record that if the agreed plan here appeals to him then no external temptation will move him. So we have to hope that he likes what TB has to say. If we want him to stay, of course.

    [Albion] Something HAS to be done about the home atmosphere

    I don't recall any complaints about the atmosphere when we beat Manchester United last season or Marseille this season - because we won with late goals. The score will always affect the atmosphere at matches. Locking the gates so people can't leave early is the only thing we can do. Or mic up...

    [Albion] Marc Leonard

    Well, you say that, but the top teams leave nothing to chance. Liverpool probably have a specialist coach.

    [Albion] "Brighton will target Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna"

    About on the same level, if that, I'd say. In the dim and distant past they won some things but I think the word 'Town' in their name hints at their limits in this day and age.

    [Albion] "Brighton will target Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna"

    What load of old rubbish. Quite how the Guardian's West Ham-supporting Chelsea correspondent would know anything about the Albion's intentions is a bit of a mystery, frankly. "It is understood Brighton have been making contingency plans .."?? Well, duh.

    [Albion] Are YOU falling out of love with Roberto De Zerbi?

    In my experience, Daniel Storey rarely goes to games so where else can he get information?

    [Football] New stadium plans at Birmingham City

    I won't miss St Andrews. One of the dreariest grounds in the country, and that lugubrious version of 'Keep Right On To The End Of The Road' sung in a Brummie accent ...

    Henry Winter Top man

    More likely his massive salary no longer fitted into the Times budget. As I know from personal experience, the Times can be ruthless when looking to make cuts. Henry is a decent guy as well as a workaholic, so I'm sure he'll get a few offers, although he may have to take the sort of wage cut...

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    We don't. A late friend of mine had two very nicely located season tickets, for himself and his daughter. When he died she made enquiries (through a third party) about transferring his ST to another family member but was told it couldn't be done. So she had the options of giving up both tickets...

    [Football] FFP instead of points deduction, a luxury fine !!

    The system worked so efficiently in Major League Baseball that the Miami Marlins actually budgeted every year for a certain amount of overspend by the New York Yankees coming their way via the luxury tax. One year when the Yankees didn't break through the salary cap it left a bit of a hole in...

    [Albion] Yes we have injuries but tactically that was garbage, again.

    Fun fact: Caicedo, Mac Allister, Mitoma, March and Trossard all played in the match at Brentford last season. And we lost 2-0.
  15. Not Andy Naylor

    [Albion] Yes we have injuries but tactically that was garbage, again.

    We could use Lamptey wide on the left and move Adingra to the right. That sounds counter-intuitive as Lamptey is right-footed, but when he has played on the left, he has created chances. When he plays on the right, nobody gives him the ball.

    Garth also believes that RDZ would be perfect for the Liverpool job. So there's hope ...

    [Albion] RDZ pre-Liverpool press conference

    Especially as anyone who hasn't covered the club before seems to think they are the first person ever to ask the question. Most regulars at the Lancing pre-match pressers can't be bothered as it's almost always the same answer or some variation.

    [Albion] RDZ pre-Liverpool press conference

    I'm afraid we can't have it both ways. We like RDZ's ambition and it was probably the fact that he challenged the players to go for a top four finish last season that resulted in us getting into Europe. I doubt if the players considered themselves top-six material until he said it. But why...

    [Albion] Did we try to get Viktor Gyokeres back?

    I always wanted him to be good when he got a first-team chance for us but he never was. On the available evidence, letting him go seemed to be the correct decision.
