joeyt Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I know people have been annoyed/disappointed by Jonas last season and pre-season, but I am more than happy that he is still here and would love it for him to stay all season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 This might sound daft, but a draw or defeat could actually be more rewarding in the long run than a win. I get the feeling that if we won the players would think that we can walk this season and then we'd fuck up. Its the attitude that we had for too long in the Premier League.

Jayson Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I think a good start would be best myself. This group of players doesnt at any time react well to being beaten, any "oh well now we know what we have to do" is a load of bollocks for me. When they lose they lose self belief & expect to get beaten. Thats why they fell apart so easily in the prem, they didnt actually expect to get back into it half the time. So i dont for a second believe theyre actually overly confident. They should specifically believe that they are better than every other side in this league. They need to play with that mentality. Looking forward to the game now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The Baggies will sneak a win, I can feel it, just so we go away feeling as depressed as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 still hasnt quite sunk in that we're playing in the championship tomorrow. its gonna be a real reality check. it's gonna be like car crash tv on the bbc, you know its gonna be gruesome but you cant help but watch it. The reality check is for another week, we are playing WBA today, they were Premier League last year too, they shouldnt be treating this any different........well aside from actually trying this time round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Well my bets for the day are.... Draw We win 2-1 So neither of those will happen.. therefore I think we'll lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I wonder what position we will be in by kick-off? Quick sweepstake time; I'll go with 18th. Not that I know that's actually possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest helios_centric Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I think we'll do the usual 'false dawn' thing and win today. Someone will then come out and say "see we aren't so bad, everything is gonna be okay." Then of course we will lose the next three on the bounce and be in even more turmoil as the window closes.

Actually, thinking about it there's only a certain number of positions we can be in. We can't be higher than 13th, and can't be last, for example. I'm just having this rather boring conversation with myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Get beat 3-1 today me thinks. Can only hope the two clowns they had at centre half last season will be playing and in similar form. No pace at all in our team still, which just like last season will make us quite easy to defend against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I hope Kadar, Ranger and LuaLua get some game time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I reckon LuaLua will start, so that's some pace down the right side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Christ. It's just hit me, watching SSN. We're playing Peterbrough this year, fighting for promotion and play off places, playing with a demotivated, wafer thin squad. Shit man welcome back to reality!

Frazzle Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 SSN had team news on before: "Butt and Guthrie injured; Owen, Martins, Viduka and Bassong have left the club." Great team news that like, so I take it Owen and Martins etc. won't be able to play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Exactly. It'll take us 90 points to win the league. Let's end today with 3 on the board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I honestly cannot believe we have a match tomorrow. May as well get ready for what will be an insane 9 months or so. Honestly, can't believe that holidays are coming to an end. Went too fast this year. Too fast? You must be kidding. I couldn't take anymore of this rubbish. Delighted the on-field stuff is starting again. For once i agree with Mowen, it's better this just begins and get on with the season, all this takeover talk has pretty much messed up my mind. Howay!
