Fucking hell. Yes, losing Oba is a massive blow but this is WEST BROM. They're bottom for a reason man. We'll beat them with or without him.

In fairness to Hughton he was well up against it with Keegan leaving, the Ashley protests etc. Morale would have probably been rock bottom then and the players probably wouldn't have played well for a fair few others. Not saying he's decent or anything but he's in a much more favourable situation with a squad that should be boosted with the new signings. We'll still win

Adam Johnson looks a talent.

I didn't see it!

Would be fucking typical if Liverpool win this.

Lucas sent off

Apparently Simpson and their captain, Greening, are out and Koren and Morrison are both doubts.

I think he's alright actually. Quick, young and has a cracking left peg. We can do much better but he's not shit by any means.

Must win game. WBA are very dodgy at the back fortunately and Martins and Shola will give them a tough, tough time with their pace and strength. I'm confident Bassong will keep Simpson quiet, the question is whether Taylor can do the same with Bednar/Fortune, either can be quite dangerous. Butt and Nolan will probably get overrun but their midfield's quite lightweight; if they can intimidate and impose themselves a bit they'll do alright. It'll be tough as Albion are on good form but I think we'll edge it. 2-1.

Taylor's on SSN now.

He's a good signing but him, Nolan and Lovenkrands just won't be enough. Even with Nolan we only have 3 midfielders.

We have 27 minutes left, do you seriously think we can get someone in within that time?

Another 8 mill bid rejected for another player.

Yes, I was feeling good about the window this morning and its materialised to fuck all.

Please sign someone

The No.5 shirt's still going spare then. Fingers crossed.

Has Wise been sacked btw? They didn't mention him being at the training ground.

Bent for Martins mackems.gif Absolute shambles if true, its even on their ticker bar now.

Yeah but this is from bluemoon..

As far as we're concerned he's signed, the only hold-up is Zog's move to Wigan.

Can't see Cisse staying beyond his loan deal tbh.

City are taking the piss a bit if you ask me. Johnson's barely played a game so far this season and with that and his drinking problem £8 mill's a pretty generous offer. Not to mention they've just signed De Jong and will probably buy 7 more £10mill+ midfielders in the summer. FFS

I was amazed Whitehead didn't at least get a yellow for about 3 late fouls and Bardsley was lucky to still be on the pitch imo.

Well that's full of shit, I saw Colo make a few.
