Christ I dont even want to think about this one.

We have definitely seen B.

You have to look at the players as well. At the end of the day there was a decent side out there today and they just didnt turn up. They were gutless and pathetic, smacks of the relegation season and its no surprised most of this lot played for us that year too. Hughton has his share of the blame for not getting the players going of course, but at the end of the day they are 11 grown men and professional footballers, to walk out there and not even bother is ridiculous.

He wont get a new contract if he doesnt sign a new striker and possibly make another couple of signings. A few injuries and suspensions and we are absolutely awful, the results just wont come.

Good corner

Mick Lowes made a good point there. Our fans made there way down to West Brom in these terrible conditions and our players reward them with this shit. Its pathetic tbh.

Mentioned this in the match thread, but does anyone think we are missing Nolan's leadership? It's been said before that he is a good captain and it seems like we are missing someone today to rally the team and get them going, they just dont look interested today. Hopefully he gets back asap.

Bar about 5 minutes we have been awful like. I think we're missing Nolan's leadership.

Theres no excuses for playing like this. Smacks of the relegation season, players just dont look interested in busting a gut and getting stuck in. They need to sort it out or we're getting nothing here.

Late to the party, cant believe Barton is injured man

How can you BATTER a team but then HANG ON for a point? Also, he mentioned Colo and Williamson being out for this, what is the relevance of this if they were out for the Chelsea game and we BATTERED them? Also he says Campbell will be picked, no mention for Taylor? Are we letting Sol do it all himself? This guy man...

If your continent has to wait a while before they can bid again, how come France had it in 1998 and Germany had it in 2006 (and Italy in 1990).

Not surprised by this. He is at a Premier League club so he may as well try and make it here. Theres plenty of time to move on in the summer if he doesnt make it.

I just think if he isnt a key player, like Carroll, Tiote or Ben Arfa, then theres no need for a long contract like that. He could well fall down the pecking order here, even as close as right now if Campbell and Taylor play well. Of course Campbell is off at the end of the season but we will probably sign another couple of centre backs in the next year or 2. If he falls down the pecking order he could well be in a position where he isnt or is barely getting a game. If that did happen and we couldnt find a buyer for him then he is stuck here for ages and isnt even playing. Of course there are a lot of "ifs" there, but thats why a 3 year deal is better imo. If in 2 and a half years he is playing regularly then fair enough, extend his contract, if he isnt playing then he can move on. Ultimately though, it really doesnt matter

Its a good omen. We drew with Chelsea after the last one.

I dont understand these kind of contracts being given to players who, if we wanted to keep them, we could. 3 years seems more reasonable.

Really? The way the news is going on you'd swear Britain was in lock down.

Chances of this being postponed?

Whoever is the highest bidder I guess.

Hope Nolan is back for this, it's exactly the kind of game that he would score in. And fuck 3 points, I just want to see Messi drink his own piss.

I see he strategically placed one of his goons into the crowd in London holding a Sports Direct bag facing the camera at all times. Nothing like a bit of free advertising.

Did we sort out his rehab, medical bills etc? Would definitely go in our favour if we wanted him permanently.

England deserve it. Home to the 1 of the worlds best leagues, some top stadiums and full of teams supported by millions worldwide. It's a farce that it hasnt hosted in 44 years, 52 by the time the next World Cup. England will get it imo.

Fucking hell
