Just back (in Cornwall) from my 2nd watch of the season, and was chuffed to meet up with my old mates in the East Stand....
One had written this time last week to ask if he and his wife could get a refund on their Away S/T, saying he realised that WBA was a business these days, and not a Football Club, but the football was so unwatchable that he was even giving it 3 months before they stopped watching altogether! (He hasn't received a reply yet!)
Another mate, who travels 120 miles round trip with his 2 sons phoned his wife at 1/2 time (who was visiting relatives) to come and fetch him. His wife phoned back as the team came out 2nd half, and he was off! Several others cleared off not long after.
I left 5 mins before the end to get the train before the cockney rabble. That's the 1st time I've ever left before the end of a match, the 1st time in nearly 800 matches. I've never seen an Albion team so easily beaten in nearly 60 years.

Even Jonny Evans and Gary Mac played as if they weren't even playing for their Northern Ireland future - there was no fire in even their bellies. The Pole was rightly subbed at 1/2 time. Barry and Phillips were ineffectual, as were Gibbs and JR. Even Foster made silly mistakes, and as for Rondon....!! Hegazy played his heart out, and Liversalts played exactly like he has done since he put on an Albion or England shirt.
My MoM by a mile was Yacob, who could do The Pole AND Liversalts' job on his own, to free a shirt.
These players just don't want to play for Pulis and Megson - it's blindingly obvious. And any 1/2 decent forward player would be mad to join us in January, if Mr.Lai thinks he can solve the problem with his purse.

Glad to get that off my chest.

Seriously think we have missed Yacob.  His gritty determination with breaking up play and reading the situation are greatly underrated imho.

Yacob is by far the best CDM we have. Typical Pulis not playing our best players and he wonders why we haven’t won for ages. Fool. Sack him today Mr Chairman

Pulis sacked. Official

  I'm thinking the team played against Chelsea to get him OUT. Just saying.

Yeh - I was wondering how the majority of the players would be feeling; I imagine that even those who TP brought in, or those who had an affinity with him would've been hard pressed to stay loyal to him in the last few months.
It's gotta be seen as a relief to all of them surely. Hopefully the new chappie will be less restrictive and less likely to be barking instructions for the complete game
