Neil Warnock.
He'll always be an obnoxious character to us, but - why the hell do clubs keep employing the twat?
Cheerio, and now RETIRE!

Plenty of clubs will be looking for a new manager in the next few weeks. Plymouth would be ideal for Colin. He won't retire while he gets a healthy bung for half a dozen games.

Well! Like so many, I have just undergone a Total Hip Replacement.
One week on from the operation and I am amazed at the speed of recovery the body is able to achieve. Still on crutches and a couple of months to go before I start smashing drives down the fairway - but, after a week of pain, I’m super happy.
Had to say no to going to quite a few games in the build up but am hoping soon, when I am allowed to drive again, to get back to the shrine and watch us close out the season in a playoff place.

For those who have not seen the Brandon Thomas-Asante interview on Albion TV it is now available on YouTube. Its 1 1/2 hours but worth the watch.

I was reminiscing (again) today about the team that played against Red Star Belgrade- Feb 28, 1979 and was wondering, position against position, who would you bring in from todays team?
Goalkeeper Tony Godden
Defenders John Wile, Ally Robertson, Derek Statham, Brendon Batson
Midfielders John Trewick, Bryan Robson
Forwards Laurie Cunningham, Cyrille Regis, Alistair Brown, Tony Brown
Perhaps Palmer for Godden, maybe Okay for Trewick, a hard one with the rosy coloured specs on, what do you think.

I think it'd be even more interesting to open the field up to everyone who's played for us in the 21st century so far. Either Odemwingie or Lukaku would slot into the forward line, maybe in place of Ali Brown, and Trewick would have to be swapped for Mulumbu in his pomp. Fozzy in for Godden? Obviously a peak Anelka would have been first name on the team sheet, but as we didn't have him at his peak, he doesn't get a look in.
From the current team only the Yokuslu-Trewick swap would really work for me.
