depends though, if liverpool finish 4th they have to hope united win the europa league otherwise it will be a quick turn around for a champions league qualification series

what ifs i know, and i am stoked they are coming here and i got my tickets, but the turn around could be crucial

That performance by us this morning, the players looked as though they were playing like that on purpose to get Wenger out. I hope that was the reason cause there was one word for that this morning... DISGRACEFUL! Cannot believe I got up at 5 to watch us get done 3-0 by a relegation threatened side. I hope that has fully made up the board & Wengers mind up on his future. He must go. We need a huge revamp now. The way we are playing now, it is not even Arsenal I am watching, feels like it anyway.

We have been beaten by relegation teams and have half the squad you have. Chin up

Sunday evening - Game of the Round - WBA v Liverpool at the Hawthorns. Not sure if we'll park the bus at home or have a go. Seeing as though it's Liverpool though we'll probably park it and nick it 1-0 somewhere.

Yep. Got the score right, just had the wrong team.

Don't know if you watched the game mate but gee it was boring.

As bad as we were I don't think you guys were much better.

We were far superior

Double the shots, triple the big chances and you guys parked the bus at home.
Defensively we were brilliant. To be fair, we dominated you everywhere except the score board.

Except for our lapse on halftime I thought we were brilliant defensively as well to keep you out.
Bit of a farce at the end though when Foster came out and played up front. How your bloke didn't score with an open goal I don't know.

Anyway, with the money you're blokes are paid compared to ours you should have won 3-0 or 4-0.

And with the money west brom have you should be able to assemble a side that actually plays football. Instead you go into 50% of games trying not to lose, rather than trying to win. Embarrassing really.

Embarrassing and surely for lads like Chad as a supporter it has to be frustrating.
pulis gets too many raps from pundits for being quite possibly the most negative manager In the league.
Ur squad has more talent than he allows them to play ever.
Never goes into any match with the mentality of setting up for a win just goes in with a mentality of hoping to not lose .

he would be happy to go the entire season with 38 draws, have an invincible's team and not get relegated

he has a brilliant striker that doesn't get used properly.

38 draws might not make us safe! :)

I think though with our team it's play the way we do in the Premier League or get relegated and play the more attractive football in the Championship.
I really don't know what is better.

you guys took arsenal apart and then park the bus against liverpool... idiots

Mate I agree with you. Can't fathom Pulis sometimes. Though I thought 3-1 against the Gunners flattered us, I don't think we tore them apart. Set pieces, set pieces, set pieces...

Thing is, Pulis has one remit in his job above all others. Keep the baggies in the Prem. And he's done it. Again.

Do you enjoy watching west brom play?

Can't say I do but I don't watch that often because I don't have Pay TV.
But after following them for almost forty years I'm not about to change.

The style may not be exciting but they've spent their sixth year in a row in the EPL and they are sitting 8th at this point.

We can Pulis bash all we like but he's done his job and kept us up. Now if our new Chinese owner can stick a crowbar in his wallet and fork out some dish during the transfer window, we may be able to do a little better. Maybe...

Trust me, when your team inevitably falls out of the premier league you want some kind of memory of exciting football.
Yes there was some **** football played by us especially towards the end, but have great memories of the likes of Santa Cruz, Tugay, Pederson and the like.

Foreign owners are no picnic either, be careful your foreign owners aren't trying to fill their own pockets at your clubs expense.
