Albion video blogger Pete ‘Hilltop Baggie’ Danckert gives the fans view on why the Baggies’ luck must change in their home game against bogey side Stoke on Sunday.

Do you think Hilltop has hit the nail on the head?

    Pete.
    Congratulations on a few things.

    First on the brilliant idea for you and the interviewer to move jerkily and make it look like an old Charlie Chaplin movie.

    Second saying you’d settle for a point now from Sunday’s game. A true reflection of the humility of the average Baggie. We all know some fans that would be saying ‘we ought to beat teams like these.’

    Third when asked if Shane Long is the new Kevin Doyle, resisting the temptation to say ‘yeah he’s just like a Kevin Doyle that scores goals.’

    LOL Long and Doyle are nothing like eachother……….. completely different style of play….. why bother to try and compare.

    WBA season starts this weekend by the way. I hope you have better “luck” or “defend a bit better” take your pick, against Stoke.

    TRBH, sorry bout your jerky picture, i have to say mine was fine !!
    Rich, love the banter already, id agree doyle and long are two different players, but so long as the onion bag ripples with their goals i dont suppose either of us will be complaining. With reference to your dig at our defending, we were guilty of two mistakes against chelsea and one against manure, but the overall performance was good, maybe you ought to wait and see how you get on against those two before you start digging.

    Back in 1970, I was sitting drinking half of cider by the river at Seed Green while my son was fishing. I was marking papers.
    Question: What is used to make an electrical switchbox ?
    Answer: Metul sh*t. I kid you not. I almost fell in the river laughing. Tick.
