The game

Scoreline Prediction:

Adam - Albion 1 City 2

Alex - 2-1 to Albion, will be tough though, but with all the rumours going around about Mancini and players fighting behind the scenes with your lot, can see it affecting you guys a bit!

One to watch:

Adam - No stars with our lot. However, if pushed I'd say Chris Brunt.

Alex - If he's back from injury it has to be Peter Odemwingie, been immense when hes played this season and tore Arsenal to shreds! If he's still injured though look out for Mulumbu, mans a beast and never stops running in the midfield, one of our best players this season!

General West Brom

Can we expect to see 'the Moston menace' Ishamael Miller featuring much this season?

Adam - No, not much. He's been injured for two years and hasn't made much progress since his loan spell with us.

Alex - More then likely not tbh, only just come back from injury and has Odemwingie, Fortune, Cox and Bednar in front of him and should be sent on loan to a Championship side soon!

Has your season progressed as you had expected so far? The three promoted clubs seem have surprised a lot of neutrals, all sitting in the top half of the table with ten games played. -

Adam - I expected us to be OK this season, but I don't think anyone expected a win at Arsenal and a point at Old Trafford. The football we are playing is arguably the best in a generation.

Alex - None of the fans could have expected this season to go like it has so far tbh, its been beyond our wildest dreams but to lose the way we did to Blackpool was such a bitter blow and mainly down to the ref as to outplay them with 9 men was crazy! But we'll bounce back i think and if you had offererd us 15 points from 10 games we'd have bit your hand off, theres just so much quality in depth in this team, we never give up and they fight like mad for each other, RDM really has put together a quality team here.

What has been your favourite memory/moment from supporting West Brom? -

Adam - Too many to mention; a 3-1 against Villa when 1-0 down with 6 minutes left - the 2002 run-in where we upset Wolves and got 2nd place (ha ha) and winning the Championship in 2008.

Alex - A fair few tbh, The Great Escape, coming from 3-2 down in the 89th minute to beat Colchester 4-3 and near enough guarntee promotion, beating Wolves 3-0 at Molineux in the FA Cup but being there at the Emirates when we beat Arsenal 3-2 will really take some beating now!


And the worst -

Adam - 1991. Relegated to the Third under Bobby Gould

Alex -Losing the FA Cup Semi Final to Pompey in 2009 to a bloody handball goal....


If you could sign a player from the City squad (wages etc irrelevant), who would you choose -

Adam - Joe Hart

Alex -Toss up between Adam Johnson and Tevez as love both of them, just quality players.


If you could place a past West Brom player into the current team, who would it be -

Adam - Laurie Cunningham.

Alex - From when ive been watching them i always loved Gera when he was here, so id love to have him back and find a place for him!
