Thank you Sir Megson and the rest of the Baggies for being great hosts, your comments and also for being so magnanimous in defeat. 
Regardless of who is in charge there's obviously something going on in the club which ain't right at the moment. A good clear out of the badly infected and generally dead wood in the Summer and a famous Baggies bounce back is required. Stranger things have happened, but sadly I can't see a great escape happening for you lads 'n' lasses this season. The lack of any response what so ever from the side after Pardew came in shows which side of the touchline the problem lies. He's not the worlds best manager but he's no dummy either. It was noticeable that all your bench went in for a half-time cuppa while ours spent all that period on the pitch doing warm-up routines. Who's call that is I don't know but if the message isn't getting across to them in the first 45 minutes of what they should be prepared to do to improve things, it won't at half-time either. They came out eventually but for probably 2 minutes or so before the game restarted.
Letting Fletcher go to play in Smoke-on-Stench in the Summer (that worked out well for him didn't it?) has maybe had some effect on the pitch, but you've enough players in that side with international experience and earning good money that seriously need to give their heads a shake. They won't earn 10% of the brass you are paying them if they rock up at the likes of Wassall next season. It's highly unlikely your other near neighbours, if they go up, will be forming an orderly queue to take many of them off your hands in the Summer either the way they've performed and behaved this season.
Good luck lads. My favourite club and bunch of supporters in Middle England by a country mile.
