#wba if the league started when mozza took over where would we be in the league now? Just curious

@dunnda @WBA @EFL The first paragraph is an urban myth or maybe an Albion myth, apparently there are dozens of players banned under this rule since it was introduced in 2017. Shaun Miller (Carslile) was the first and Owen Lunt (Crewe Alexandra) and Garath McCleary (Gillingham) this season.

So @WBA are the 1st & only club to have a player retrospectively banned for 2 games from the @EFL And 1st & only club to be retrospectively punished by the same ‘organisation’ -2 points! For charitable donations in a season they were names community club of the year 🤷🏼‍♂️ #wba

@spenna1988 Apparently there are dozens including the first Shaun Miller (Carlisle United) and two last season Owen Lunt (Crewe Alexandra) and Garath McCleary (Gillingham).

@enjaybeedotcom I wasn’t sure if anyone else had been done but 2 players in how many years is a joke

The EFL’s agenda against us is blatantly obvious. They decided we are getting charged and after 2 weeks of silence this is what they decided on. Just wondering was Dwight Gayle the only player to get a retrospective ban for deceiving a match official? #wba

Fifty Years ago today. Very special day. JG probably the best #Baggies manager in 60 years following The Albion. #wba

@RoversXtra Acknowledging that it’s pure speculation and very few people know the real numbers but there’s lots of speculation that the £60m cost at #wba included the assumption of the debt and it was therefore more £20m net.

🗣 No one will buy Blackburn Rovers Sheff Utd - 24 (110m) WBA - 24 (60m) Charlton - 23 (12m) Bham - 23/24 (35m) Wycombe - 24 (Unknown) Southampton - 22 (100m) Derby - 22 (22m) Sheff Wed - In Process (USA) Preston - In Process (Saudi) Swansea - 24 (20m funding) #BRFC | #Rovers

@RobRyanRed Pure entitlement.

🗣️ Phil Parkinson is FUMING with referees costing Wrexham: “If you give a penalty for that, you’re giving three or four penalties every game. “I can’t believe an experienced referee has got CONNED really by Molumby. He’s thrown himself to the floor. Of course, there is contact but it’s only what you see in the penalty box all the time. Very, very harsh decision. “You need help from referees and when you get a referee from the top level you expect better. [Did you speak to Bobby Madley?] “I have, briefly. The other thing I’m getting very frustrated with is the treatment Sam Smith has been getting. “All you guys who watch us… Watford away, the amount of times he got hauled to the floor and blocked and body checked. I sent all of those incidents to the head of referees and he agreed with me on nearly every one. “We then go to Sheffield United and Tanganga pulls him down, which is a straight red card and the free-kick gets given against Smudge. In the 53rd minute today there is a slide through pass that puts him through and Phillips just tugs him. It’s only a slight contact but it’s a red card and I feel Smudge needs more protection from referees on the whole. “I’m going to send all those incidents together and ask the referees over the next two days to give me some answers. He’s had some bad decisions against him. [Concerned calls could cost you?] “Yeah, of course, I’m always in communication with Kevin Friend, the head of the referees, because he’s a great guy and he listens. But when the ref reviews those incidents tonight he’ll know I’m right and he’s WRONG.” #WxmAFC

@WBA RIP Goalie

We're desperately saddened to learn of the passing of legendary Albion goalkeeper, Tony Godden. To this day, Tony holds the record of consecutive Albion appearances, with 228 - and took to the pitch 329 times in total for the club. Rest in peace, Tony. 💙🤍

@secondtierpod Portsmouth are in it Charlton aren’t.

Where does the relegation battle start and finish? 🤔

@kierandoody Give it a rest.

Isaac Price’s reaction the the equaliser yesterday was odd. He barely moved. #wba thebaggies.news/match/isaac-pr…

Rest Easy #godsfootballer #wba

@itsocheagain @bluenose199011

Joke of the day.

@369ell @WBA No, to all three, this is bad, at present this team is as uncompetitive as any Albion team I can recall. However in terms of footballing ability these lot are still a way ahead of some of the dross we had in the 90’s. #wba

1. Is Taylor the worst loan signing we've ever had (esp in terms of game time)? 2. Is this the worst defence @WBA have ever had? 3. Is JW the worst captain we've ever had? Granted, its difficult to measure Q3 #wba

@wutenderman Plus Derek McInnes and the idea of Steve Clarke combining the role with his duties preparing Scotland for their first World Cup in 28 years.

Right my manager list #wba #WBAFC “fuckwit fan” version 1. Big Dave - played for us 2. Graham potter - played for us 3. Enzo maresca - played for us 4. Roy hodgson - get him back 5. Sir Alex - once said he loved the hawthorns 6. Bryan Robson - he saved us 7. Megson - legend

@TiceRichard These funds belong to the current and future pensioners, not the government, so Reform will legislate to seize it? Then who will manage it, some hedge fund or venture capitalist? You think we are all stupid.

Britain already controls nearly £500bn in Local Government Pension assets, yet it is split across 98 separate funds with duplicated costs and no unified national investment strategy. We should consolidate this in to a British Sovereign Wealth Fund, professionally managed with a clear mandate: deliver strong long-term returns while backing Britain’s economic renewal. With a 6.5% target return, it could generate around £25bn a year for reinvestment into strategic industries, domestic energy, housing and infrastructure. That is how serious nations build long-term wealth and economic security.

@TheLiquidatorP1 @JohnP_QB @GoldbergRadio Possible that there were early repayment penalties that were equal or more or less equal to the interest over the term.

@JohnP_QB @GoldbergRadio I'm puzzled why they didn't - assuming the terms of the loan allowed them to - because the interest rate is so high. That said, even if you are wealthy, you don't necessarily have £30m lying around - especially as they have already had to subsidise the club.

This isn't happy reading Baggies fans, but it's worth knowing, all the same. @GoldbergRadio on #wba open.substack.com/pub/theliquida…

@chris_skudder Another one who doesn’t know the rules.

VAR gives that as a goal - hand stopped it going in

@dcfcGeorge84 In 3 games, 300 minutes, this season you have managed 13 shots of which 3 were on target against the worst team in Championship history then?

West Brom are actually awful. I want to see Sheffield Wednesday play them again because I reckon it would be a close game. Wednesday might actually win because this West Brom team might be the worst in championship history #wba #swfc

@metal4always @sjpatel212 Ipswich were a really good side at the time and we beat them 4-0 in the return fixture. That team also got hammered at Sunderland the same season but they would never have turned in a performance like last night, there is no comparison.

@sjpatel212 Ipswich 7 WBA 0 76/77 season

WBA 1- Crewe 5 anyone for the more aged amongst us…? Can’t remember much worse than this in my lifetime if I’m honest … #wba

@EveRay1 Saunders reign was very close but I’ve always believed that the Brian Little stewardship was the worst of my 55 seasons but I dont anything in his reign came close to that. I think last night was as bad as anything I’ve seen apart from Woking.

Still in full Private Frazer mode this morning #wba I don't think I saw anything as bad as last night in the Saunders year and a half
