Exclamation Black Hole
Posted by: Blue Baggie - 12-05-2020, 08:37 - Forum: West Bromwich Albion - Replies (5)

There  maybe trouble ahead ? The  Premier League are looking to recover £340 million from clubs. Even if the remaining games are played. This could increase substantially if the season is not completed or played behind closed doors.

  Saido wants to return???
Posted by: Salopbaggie - 11-05-2020, 19:05 - Forum: West Bromwich Albion - Replies (7)

Interesting article from Jo Massi at the Star regarding SB wanting to return:

Saido Berahino has said he would jump at the chance to rejoin Albion.

"The striker had a very public spat with the Baggies hierarchy over a failed move to Tottenham in 2015. Currently playing for Zulte Waregem in Belgium, Berahino admits he now regrets how he handled the situation.
And he told the Counter Attack podcast if Albion were ever interested in having him back, he'd love to return.

He said: "If West Brom came back in for me, I would jump back – 100 per cent," he said. "I support West Brom, I follow their games. My friend (Romaine Sawyers) plays for them. "If they came back for me 100 per cent I would go back."

On the failed move to Tottenham, Berahino said: "I think I needed someone around me to say 'Saido, you're not going to move forget about it – you've already done it, you've proven you can attract a big club, let's go and attract two or three big clubs.' "I never had that type of guidance, I just thought my life had ended. "I thought I want to play Champions League, no disrespect to West Brom. "I loved my time at West Brom.

"I had had a great season and I just felt that moving to Tottenham would improve my level even more. "The manager they had there (Mauricio Pochettino) was really into young players and I thought I'd develop fast if I went there." "

Never thought I'd end up like this, but I've started wearing a big dent in 'my' chair, facing the TV. (I used to sneer at anyone down the Pub who mentioned TV programmes!)
The dent is getting deeper, and the beer stains smellier, as old age creeps in, and the Pubs stay closed.
My missus is much the same, and the telly's on from 8am till 11pm, except when we go out together (for exercise, walking the dogs). We're not necessarily watching it, but it's on!

I still refuse to watch Soaps or 'Reality' programmes, and won't subscribe to Sky, but sort of half-watch the old films while I'm either reading or painting (sort of facing the TV!)
Apart from the old films, Big Bang Theory is my favourite (they made about 250, and I think I've seen them all). Current favourites are:-

'Harry Quebert Affair' (on Pick) and
'Normal People' (BBC1)

Sad, eh?

But what are your favourites???

Exclamation Alive And Kicking ... A Explanation. !!!
Posted by: Beefy 1965 - 10-05-2020, 23:13 - Forum: West Bromwich Albion - Replies (29)

Hi guys just by to say hello and yes I'm Alive and kicking,
Thanks all for you concerns but me Mrs Beef and the little Beefy's are all fine,
I think to be fair when the footy got cancelled I still planned to pop by anyway, however things began to hit home a little more as time went by when clearly I had underestimated Covid 19,
Just another flu epidemic I thought, how wrong I was, Covid 19 was getting closer, into the UK, into London , to Birmingham and Staffordshire.
Then one of my best mates whom I have known since I was 17 phoned to say his dad had got it and was seriously ill in hospital, it was now on my doorstep .
My mate never got to see his 79 year old Dad again no goodbyes no last hug nothing.
I was in bits for him he was a great bloke and always fun to be with and came to watch me and his son play every Sunday Morning,
Then Bomber who you all know has also been through tough times, he lives just the other side of Cannock chase for me and for a short time was really upset as his son and Girlfriend contracted the Virus they both work for the NHS, both thankfully came through it well and are back on the frontline,
So I came to the decision to help in the community, look after a few older and vunerable people as well as my mom and in law's, shopping ,cueing ,shopping cueing but hey I wouldn't be doing anything else,
Throw in that I'm trying to home school 2 young girls my eldest 12 has ADHD and is really finding time at home difficult and has been a real test for me and Mrs Beef, temper tantrums like we have never known, but we will get through this , and hopefully soon we can beat this stinking virus that must have affected each and everyone of us,
Stay safe and will pop in a little more often when I get time
Beefy Wink Thumb up

  In the Field of Human Conflict

In memory of Sergeant Reginald Stephen Anderson, RAF 106 Squadron, service number 1280773, forward for Dulwich Hamlet and Cardiff City.  Sergeant Anderson played for England at amateur level, scoring a hat-trick on his debut in 1938 in an 8-2 victory over Wales.  He joined the Royal Air Force Reserve during the war and was assigned to 106 Squadron.  On the night of 23rd February 1942, the Handley Page Hampden bomber on which Anderson served was one of twenty-three involved in minelaying over the Heligoland approaches, his fifth mission on active duty.  The Handley was downed over Heligoland Bight by flak from the anti-aircraft batteries of Wittun and Puan Klent, and all four crew members were killed when the plane crashed into dunes on the Danish island of Sylt at 6:12am.  He was 25.  His remains are buried in Kiel War Cemetery.

In memory of Private Matthew Armstrong, Royal Army Medical Corps, service number 7362023, wing-half for Darlington and Aston Villa.  Private Armstrong joined Villa as a teenager in 1939 and was described by the Daily Express as a promising young defender who looked to have "that certain soccer something", but the outbreak of war prevented him from making an appearance in the first team.  He was killed in North Africa on the 12th of July 1941 while serving in 149 Field Ambulance, aged 22.

In memory of Able Seaman Norman John Catlin, Royal Navy HMS Gloucester, service number D/JX 165644, outside-right for Arsenal and Southampton.  Catlin was a prolific goalscorer as a teenager and was capped by England Schoolboys.  His professional career proved short-lived due to a slight physical build, and he had effectively retired from football by 1937, taking a job as a clerk with the Cunard-White Star Company.  On the outbreak of war he enlisted in the Royal Navy, and was serving aboard HMS Gloucester during the German invasion of Crete when on the afternoon of 22nd May 1941, the Gloucester - perilously low on anti-aircraft ammunition - was attacked by approximately two hundred Junkers Ju-87 "Stuka" dive bombers in the Kythira Strait.  The captain of HMS Fiji, in the vicinity, described the sky above the Gloucester as "black with planes".  Struck numerous times, the cruiser began sinking at around 4.50pm and was gone within an hour.  Of the 807 men aboard, only 85 survived, and all were captured.  Norman Catlin was among those killed, aged 23.  "The Fighting G", as the ship was known, is commemorated by a stained-glass window in Gloucester Cathedral.

In memory of Private Albert Clarke, 12th (Airborne) Battalion Devonshire Regiment, service number 5626557, forward for Mexborough Town, Frickley Colliery, Torquay United, Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers.  With 21 goals in 41 games, Private Clarke fired Blackburn to the Second Division title before the outbreak of war, and continued to make appearances in the war leagues before enlisting in the Devonshires.  In 1943 his battalion was converted to an airborne role, and formed part of the 6th Airlanding Brigade, 6th Airborne Division, that participated in the Normandy landings.  A shortage of aircraft meant that only one company could be inserted by glider, while the remainder travelled by sea; the two elements formed up near Ranville, northeast of Caen, on the 7th of June 1944, and proceeded to assume a defensive position to repulse German attacks.  Moving to new positions a week later, the battalion was a subjected to a heavy concentration of shell and rocket fire on the 16th of June prior to a German attack from Escoville.  The ensuing battle lasted for three hours, and Albert Clarke was among the casualties, aged 27.  He is buried in Ranville War Cemetery.

In memory of Flight Sergeant David Johnston Robertson Clyne, RAF, service number 1550542, right-back for Queen's Park.  Twice capped for Scotland at amateur level, Sergeant Clyne joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve on the outbreak of war and trained as a pilot to fly the American-built seaplanes that patrolled Britain's west coast and the northern Atlantic for U-boats.  On the 12th of May 1944, he took off from RAF Oban in a Catalina patrol plane to conduct a training exercise over Barra Head.  Over the island of Vatersay, Clyne grew disoriented, and attempting to gain altitude, the plane instead crashed near the summit of Heisheaval Beag, killing three members of the nine-man crew, including 27-year-old Clyne.  He is buried in Riddrie Park Cemetery in Glasgow, and his name is included in a memorial at Hampden Stadium.  The wreckage of the Catalina's fuselage remains on the hillside on Vatersay to this day.
