Terry, I do like your optimism but battering is how they kill the fish in chip shops,I do agree that we will beat them but only by the odd goal and Luke is going to get the winner.All the best me old mate.Boing Boing

Scott Carson will have a nightmare when the pressure is on him. Villa to win by 2 goals, as they haven’t been playing that well recently but they have still managed to get results. We will put on a performance for the Baggies.

I`d like Tony Mowbray to try Marek Cech at
right-back as Young will run rings round Hoefkens.
MY WESRBROMWICH ALBION TEAM:
Carson,Cech,Barnett,Olsson,Robinson,
Greening,Valero,Koren,Simpson,Moore,Bednar.

Seals. Is that all you can come up with. I’m sure that Terry is on drugs, he does half talk a load of west bromwich .
It will be close on saturday, like last season against the blue noses.
