being as we have had a more successful season than arsenal and liverpool that must mean we are now one of the big four,boing boing in the prem the MOWBRAY WAY IN STYLE
did anyone see that footballing elephant on the tele,he scored a goal,come on mick could be just what you need,boing boing
LOL Terry, quite funny compared to your usual standards.
Nice to see all the big name players being linked with the tesco lot - who would want to join a club who offer their best players half a contract? *Waves to K.P/Gera*
Portsmouth are also planning a £1.5m move for West Brom defender Paul Robinson. (Daily Mirror)
bbc website.
villa being promised big names again i see!
feel sorry for villa fans always promised big signings to take them to next level but never get them
dont see why they wont just fund mon with money to be honest, villa be already in europe if they splashed out and got defoe

Keep your eye on Euro 2008, because I think TM will get a few gems from there.
I see the scouts have been constantly down the Albion training ground, Great Barr eyeing up the young talent. Sorry I have got that wrong they have not got any players below 23 years that are any good!
TERRY TERRY TERRY……you need you own show……
Pompey are after Robo for 1.5 million !! and we are after Beckford from Leeds for 1.5 million plus Beatie !!! Hmm…..
i see the wolves straw clutching green eyed monsters are back. they must really like eggs cos they have had lots on their faces already and STILL they come back for more, oh well it,s all good fun. COME ON YOU PLYMOUTH
they are only jealous really number 11! they cant seem to be able to actually admit you are better than us unlike me so let them have their bit of banter it might make em feel better, but do us a favour and return some of the hundreds of congrats comments youve had from us and wish us well in our unlikely quest for the play offs!!!
The current midland pecking order:
Villa
Birmingham
Derby
WBA
Wolves
Notts Forest
Walsall
Overall historical order:
Villa
Forest
Wolves
Derby
WBA
Birmingham
Walsall
Will West Brom or Birmingham or Walsall ever win the premiership - unlikely!
Seems to me that most West Brom and Birmingham fans are happy to be slightly better than Wolves. Is that the sum-total of ambition?
Whenever there’s a summer tournament there’s a frantic rush for players after. I think TM has his list already he seems to have been very astute so far. But new names always pop up in these tournaments. I heard we were after Klaas-Jan Huntelaar but then I remembered FM2008 isn’t real lol. Baggies you can have Eastwood if you want him lol.
Midlands football is rubbish in the grand scheme of things. Villa huff and puff a bit but the rest are 2nd tier outfits at best!
Just realized I missed Coventry out!
Historical list should read:
Villa
Forest
Wolves
Derby
Coventry
WBA
Birmingham
Walsall
11. kev,
wolves fans have been wishing u lot all the best on here 4 next season. few of my friends are die hard baggies and they all sed they want us there with them, And baggies fans on here have said they want us 2 make it!
u must be a loon who just reads what the papers 2 see how there doing! Get off ur backside n go watch a game!!
Wacky Home n Away STH
I dont wish them well! they will come down next season without a doubt, i cannot stand the team or the fans. I you all the bad luck in the world.

History is History , we all live in today and today this is an accurate assumption of these
Villa (Rightly so)
Forest (Now trying to gain promotion from League 1, been useless for years)
Wolves (Always think there bigger than they are, at the moment struggling for playoffs, only Sunday can change that, i hope they make it)
Derby (relegated from Premiership breaking records along the way, will be Championship)
Coventry (Championship strugglieers, useless for years)
WBA (yoyo club over last few years, with another chance to TRY and re-establish theirselves in the top flight, time of transition going on IMO)
Birmingham (2nd most succesful midland club over recent times, struggling for survival in premiership)
Walsall (small family club, who will operate with plenty of heart but never be succesfull unfortunately)
Really what has this got to do with anything now
Nige
There have been a lot of Baggies fans stating
their best wishes for Wolves, so if you missed it,
i`ll reiterate……C`mon Wolves get in them playoffs !!!
Midlandfan
You keep repeating history, today, the other day,
so i shall reciprocate with a repeat,
is NOW!! not relevant ?
If you all look again at my posting I did two listings - current and Historical.
Why are WBA fans so prickly about football history?
As for Coventry they were one of the longest serving top flight teams until recently.
Now is relevant, yes thats why I listed my current pecking order!
Notts forest
Derby
Birmingham
WBA and Wolves have all spent time in the premier league but all unable to stay there, so I think my point stands.
18. TonyWBA
I don’t really understand this comment:
“Wolves (Always think there bigger than they are”
I think you could say the same for Birmingham, WBA or Wolves!
come on mick make that trunk call,his name is NELLY im sure youv HERD of him boing boing
Why are WBA fans so prickly about football history?
cause they got none! lol
15. Terry if your basing it on history surely Forest should be Top - 2 European cups in a row. (No bigger competion in football).
Villa were lucky to win the league in the 80’s Ipswich handed it over to them on a plate.
no.13 terry, and your point is….?
nonesense debate, pack it in.
fact,,,we have had more fun in the last 10 seasons than any other midland club,,STORMING THE PREM THE MOWBRAY WAY,,,IN STYLE OF COURSE,,,OH YES.
Off topic I know, but where will all the superheroes be on Sunday at QPR - any pubs near the ground we can take over that anyone knows of?
watch out vile we are coming to claim the top dogs spot for the midlands,,,THE BEST FOOTBALLING TEAM IN THE MIDLANDS THE MOWBRAY WAY,,,IN STYLE OF COURSE,,,OH YES.
terrymidlandfan
Current midland pecking order??
Derby above WBA??
WBA Premiership next season, Derby Championship, how did you work that one out??
Or did you simply look at the current league standings??
Personally i would rate WBA above Derby for the simple reason that i have stated above, and for the same reason i would not rank Derby higher than Wolves, lets face it Wolves have more chance of playing Premiership football next season than Derby.
25. wolfiewolfiemcwolfie
My point is midlands football is dross and you all say the same things whoever you support!
And all the teams are the same standard!
Who are you to tell me to “pack it in”?
TWB (Officer Dooey) Happy_Baggie says you need your own show and I would tend to agree, there are lots of programmes about adult education these days and you would be an ideal candidate I would’ve thought. Failing that I shall expect to see you on one of those benifit fraud programmes.
28. WORCESTERBAGGIE says…
“watch out vile we are coming to claim the top dogs spot for the midlands”
Sorry but I think the Villa are pretty safe!
WBA do not have the clout to make a serious attempt at the top flight. I know you hate this but as a club you are not big enough or famous enough in this ‘celebrity’ world.
As far as the midland clubs that may one day steer a course to the top along with Villa I think it would have to be Birmingham (because the city Second city needs a big football club so investment may be found through political will) and Wolves because of the sheer weight of their footballing history. They are famous across the globe!
21: Terry midlandfan
“I think you could say the same for Birmingham, WBA or Wolves!”
No I don’t think you can,
Birmingham on the whole have been up in the Premiership lately, they do not believe they are going to win the Premiership but are on the whole resigned to knowing they face a battle to keep their position in the Premiership and of course if they come down to Championship they expect to go back up, surely they are not being unrealistic with that thought.
West Brom, We also know that Premiership football is a big ask, and we will also find 17th place next season being a fantastic season, as that will mean survival, as I stated WBA are IMO going through a transitional stage, which could possibly earn a more regular Premiership basis, but we will not know this until we see how we fair next season, but yes in the Championship admittedly we expect to go back up, is that unreasonable???
Wolves, every season we all hear how Wolves are going to storm the league (and this has been going on for years) only once have Wolves managed this via the playoffs, last year they reached the playoffs which then somehow sent expectation levels soaring, and Wolves fans once again bleating they gonna storm the league, which as it turns out they are fighting for a playoff place which is out of there hands.
The general thought of a Wolves fan is they are bigger than West Brom, my question is how long ago was that?? because in this day and age they have no real arguement for this.
27,laura,theres a pub right by the ground called the springbock,we shall be in there look forward to seeing you boing boing
33. TonyWBA
Wolves, Albion, Albion, Wolves bla,bla,bla
As I said earlier, it’s all you all seem to care about!
terrymidlandfan
Is your name meant to be ironic??
As you have already stated in your opinion Midlands football is dross and you seem intent on upsetting the fans on this site.
Your argument is weak at best and your historical references are incorrect.
People like you usually end up supporting Man U!!
Thank Terry, see you Sunday when we win the title! Boing Boing!!
36. wbabomber
I have just finished a course of ‘fishing’ lessons with terrypremierbaggie, he’s a very good teacher don’t you think?
Already caught a couple of whoppers!
35: terry so-called midlandfan
Wolves, Albion, Albion, Wolves bla,bla,bla
As I said earlier, it’s all you all seem to care about!
you quoted Wolves,Blues & Albion being the same
did you not, I only answered IMO.
Did a reasonable response leave you wondering what to type, obviously so with your “blah blah blah” response

“As far as the midland clubs that may one day steer a course to the top along with Villa I think it would have to be Birmingham (because the city Second city needs a big football club so investment may be found through political will) and Wolves because of the sheer weight of their footballing history. They are famous across the globe!”
Your arguement regarding Blues I won’t really argue with, yes they should with them being the 2nd city hold more stature, your arguement regarding Wolves as you state is blah blah blah
Well, lets just have a look what’s swimming around inside my net?
Oh look!
There’s a: TonyWBA a wbabomber a WORCESTERBAGGIE(with caps lock)a wolfiewolfiemcwolfie and a Wallop!
Not bad for a mornings work!
terrymidlandfan
Caught and weighed!!!
Fairplay!!
Such sad people on this site, West Midlands Football is great if your a midlander, we should all want the same same thing, a premiership, containing in alphabetical order: Villa, Birmingham, Coventry, Albion & Wolves. We should celebrate the fact that we not only have history but a here & now and IMO a fantastic future. So stop the ranting and get some good WM derbies in the prem. Good luck to the Dingles in the Play offs (I Hope) and coventry and Blues to stay up. Oh and come on Walsall
2@22 Terry priceless going up and having a laugh
2 22 Terry PRICELESS I’m in stitches going up and having a laugh
Terrymidlandfan
The other Terry (the real fisherman) catches em like a pro, he gets called an idiot amongst all other names thrown at him, I don’t think we resorted to name calling but we did attempt a reasonable debate with you.
I’m the one that got away (just couldn’t be a**ed)
Terry - Normally if you pay peanuts you get monkeys - trust MM to get a flaming elephant (maybe he can wear SEB’s shirt)!!
46. TonyWBA
You can splash around all you like but your still in my net!
47. Happy
I realize that I have much to learn before I net one of the really big fish!
Terrymidlandfan you have missed out a few clubs mate notts county kiddiminster hereford shewsbury and a few more stoke city port vale stafford rangers crew ect some might be in staffordshire but all still in the midlands
As you can see not to goo at my spelling
50. Richard_Baggie
Oh look, just as I was packing up my tackle for the day another hapless baggie trout nibbled and was landed!
Anyway, off home now for a Prawn Sandwich!
See you all tomorrow with some new bait!

Wolves world famous in fantasie football.
