WBA vs Bournemouth - Match Thread

**Ska'dForLife-WBA** · 11-08-2017, 02:22

I trust everyone's suitably cheerful and optimistic about the coming season?

Our campaign commences on Saturday at home to Bournemouth, and fans heading there are advised to take shades lest they be dazzled by all of Albion's new signings. At least, that's what we were led to believe earlier in the week, which is going to make Friday either a very exciting or (more likely) a very annoying day.

At least we have two over the line, and this game will be an opportunity to see what both Jay Rodriguez and Ahmed Hegazi have to offer in Albion colours. And of course, whatever your opinion on the wisdom of bringing him back (my own judgement right now doesn't stretch beyond it being a smart PR move by the club), there's no doubting that Sir Gary Megson will be given the reception on his return that a freeman of West Bromwich deserves.

Let's hope for the sake of everyone at the Hawthorns this month that it's a happy occasion all round.

Got my ticket, more in hope than expectation. Taking partner along who's a Pompey fan, nothing going to go wrong there

Well I'm looking forward to it - I never take seeing a Premier League game for granted.
Earlier start than normal to get out of Somerset before M5 becomes a car park.

No excuses tomorrow. Coming down from Glasgow for the game then going home. If they are like they were preseason, that's it. This Chinese Take-away will be shut indefinitely.
