Evening all... West Brom fan in peace, just joined to say you really need to do the football world a favour and beat Southampton at Wembley.. The smug p***ks, both fans and manager. Good luck! Welcome to the forum Found the reaction from Southampton fans a bit odd, not like they were plucky underdo...

Right up there for MOTM, even though I had Rutter & Summerville above him. The long passes is interesting. Seemed to be more in general. Less side to side stuff. Think that was key all round. Credit to the players for doing it and Farke for allowing it. Don't think it's a coincidence we looked ...

That turn in the build-up for Rutter's goal was sublime.

I'm happy for Joel, more please!

I've adopted JP as my new Ali I've decided

5 players who may have been struggling for confidence.

Hopefully Meslier, Piroe, Gnonto, Rutter and Summerville can take great confidence from these key moments.

Only two minutes added-on-time.

There were 11 substitutions, plus Ampadu & a Norwich player were down injured for a while.

Definitely

See it before if a team is getting its butt kicked they tend to add very little time on

Nice long build up thread :) 9 days wait. 3rd vs 4th 2nd vs 3rd biggest budget. Summerville vs Armstrong Rutter vs Adams Meslier vs McCarthy Farke vs Martin 3. Bit of a personal edge for those 2 with Martin feeling Farke handled his departure from Norwich badly. Farke wanting to put the last 2 vs So...

It’s what finals are for. Nothing else matters. Some players will step up, Some won’t but if Farke has them fired up again then why not. It does need to be last night plus 10% mind you. Play like we did last night we will beat them Still think on our day we are the best team overall (cue Leicester ...

Be thrilled I'm sure.

Bet the managers are nervous.

Oscar stretching Piroe's performance a bit far! Don't get me wrong, Piroe was very lively, his best game in a long time. Joel did miss a couple of simple chances. Lively a bit of a downplaying? Involved in 3 of 4 goals, excellent movement all night giving Georgie and Jimmy space to play in. 1 chanc...

If Flynn Downes leg would fall off now that'd be great . . . .

2nd vs 3rd biggest budgets in the playoff final.

Magic of the playoffs

3-0

WBA collapsing like Norwich

Most complete performance I've seen from him. Definitely keeps his place. Oscar who used to post on here called it "one of the best striking performances for us in the last 15-20 years". He was excellent. That's the player I think we all assumed we'd get when we signed him. He showed all ...

ER game was an anomaly. Dead rubber. At theirs yes we were trounced. But Farke has stepped up big time last 2 games. Would be an entertaining final though. Still don't fancy it. Some teams and managers just suit others, Ipswich suited us get the feeling we suit Southampton. Hopefully we can prove t...

They are a pretty grim watch WBA. Corberan has done a great job with what's been going on but you'd hate to watch this week in week out We were brilliant yesterday but Southampton have made us look very poor twice (only team to do that). I'd be very nervous facing them as Martin has out managed DF t...

WBA doing fine out of possession

In possession dross.

I hope so also.

Piroe has earned his place now.

Be interesting to see how he does given he nearly became our manager

Iraola proven himself, will Slot?

Bit of a damp squib for Liverpool though.

2nd,3rd,4th choice?

Alonso and Amorim turned them down so atleast 3rd.

Thing about Archie is that that is why we invest so much in our youth set up, in the hope of punting some of them on. I dunno tthough, I reckon if we can win at Wembley he will see it as a badge of honour in playing for us in the Pl, at least for a season. Summerville may be the same, who knows? Ho...

Why I’ve always rated and love Junior, always there to back up his team mates if it gets tasty, and he’s Leeds through and through, the best and most cultured left foot at the club too…really hope we keep him. True team player that are so rare He's stepped up this season. But we didn't buy him as a...

He was saying we gave him (AG) the massive extension so we could get more money as he was already being touted to go and we'd have lost him for nothing. Apparently, it's a german club that brought the likes of Bellingham through. Hopefully it's rubbish, as I personally don't think theres any need t...
