abertawe_ram Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Does the "WBA football philosophy" date back to the glorious football of Pulis or as far back as the footballing God that was Gary Megson? Sounds worse than the old talk of "The Derby Way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to them for thinking back to better times and perhaps their glory years, I do get it. And I would want to avoid Alladyce at Derby too. Just find the "club's football philosophy" thing a bit daft. Especially considering how much change every club goes through year on year now. But a lot of fans from many different teams say similar things. The best years of my time supporting Derby were Jim Smith's late 90s team with all its foreign stars and I sometimes wish we could recreate it now. Our foreign signings have been largely dog**** since though ? I also wouldn't say Derby have a football philosophy based on our glory years in the 70s. But I suppose those who actually witnessed it might say we do or at least should. Anyway, I've rambled, sorry... too much time on my hands ?

I'm over 50 and so are most of my Albion supporting mates, many over 60. So like us they bang on about better tines, what they expect from their team in terms of football style etc. Rather that than Villa, Forest or Leeds going on about winning European trophies.. Did Leeds ever win anything to back up that irritating Champions of Europe tosh that they insist on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Mash Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Watched the last quarter of the WBA vs Fulham game. Plenty of effort but championship quality at best from the boingers. They're going down. I wish pubs were open... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha I’m mates with a bunch of Baggies, it’s horrible for them, I genuinely said in the whatsapp group, and meant it, they’ve ended up with a horrible team and there’s not one single West Brom player that I’d say “ooh, I’d have him at Derby!”.

Olton Ram Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I've known a few Baggies supporters over the years, and I've found them to be fairly phlegmatic about their club and its place in the football hierarchy. They tend to accept that they're a yo-yo club, and they've usually got something to play for each season, whether it's Premier League survival or Championship promotion. To be fair, I'd be okay with that if that were Derby; regularly promoted to the Prem and genuine promotion candidates when in the Championship. I suppose Norwich are a similar example.

Tyler Durden Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 So after today's defeat against Spurs Big Sam said "We've got to start winning games and we won't do that by keeping on losing. " Can see why he became England Manager with such forceful arguments as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
