To keep the spirit of the 2012 Spring season going, I've convinced a good friend of mine (my turkey-hunting mentor) to start planning for the Grand Slam quest next year with a Spring hunt for Montana Merriam's. Although my friend has hunted turkey in NY for 20 years, this will be the first time he has left his home ground.
We want to do this as a DIY hunt, staying in the Billings to Hardin area, getting out there with enough time before the opener to do some scouting, and get the necessary permission to hunt (starting now). I've heard there are some good guided operations in the Roundup area, but was wondering whether anyone on the board has some experience out there they could share, specifically whether anyone has hunted using Block Management access.
On another note, I've come across some opinions that the right way to approach the Grand Slam is to only hunt the birds in their historical range. That seems a little too purist to me, but I'd appreciate getting everyone's opinion on this.

Some notable stock moves following earnings announcements:
Morgan Stanley (MS) fell a fraction after first-quarter results beat estimates, but suggested things are still far from rosy at the bank. As WSJ reported:
The results showed that a three-year-old turnaround effort by Morgan Stanley Chairman and CEO James Gorman continues to be a tough slog, with numerous challenges from a tough regulatory environment, along with difficulty growing revenue in an uncertain economy in which many banks have been forced to cut costs to meet their profit targets…
The securities firm, which is under pressure to turn around its disappointing fixed-income trading business, posted adjusted revenue—stripping out the debt-valuation impact—of $1.52 million in that unit versus $2.59 billion a year earlier and $811 million in the prior quarter. Morgan Stanley has said it would scale back riskier parts of its bond-trading operations, by slashing its risk-weighted assets by about 50% from third quarter of 2011 by 2016.
Within equities trading, a relatively strong area for the firm in recent years, revenue stood at $1.6 billion versus $2 billion a year earlier, as the company, along with its rivals, saw relatively lower trading volumes.
Danaher (DHR) fell more than 3% after it reported disappointing first-quarter profit and sales and lowered its second quarter earnings per share projections. The maker of testing, diagnostic and medical equipment has been acquisitive in recent years, which has generally improved revenue. However, restructuring costs, cost-cutting activities and weakening economic and market conditions have weighed on its bottom line.
PepsiCo (PEP) stock rose 1.6% after first-quarter profit beat expectations as price hikes helped generate stronger than expected revenue growth.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold (FCX) shares were up a small fraction after profit and revenue beat estimates on the back of rising copper sales.
Philip Morris International (PM) was down more than 2% after reporting lower than expected profits as higher costs offset higher revenue, which grew on higher prices even as sales volume fell. The company also lowered its full-year earnings guidance to reflect foreign exchange impact

How to Shave Your Back Hair
I'm not sure this is funny, so much as amusing, and even a tempting advertisement for the product. (Is the Man-Groomer real?)
The darn thing is that it could be very useful.
I don't think straight men like to talk about their hygene and grooming. Being labeled "metro" is too threatening to their self-image of their own masculinity.
However, single, heterosexual guys might go to great lengths to hide what they do to be attractive to women.
The more evolved one looks (less like an ape), the better the cosmopolitan man feels about himself and the impression he creates.
I am considering starting the Man-Groomer's own thread, though my first instinct was to post it here. Again, I'm not sure that this is a real product. It could be and they just made the infomercial funny. Who knows?

Steel carports, manufactured right here in Texas, are available in many different styles. Most of the time, we can put you in touch with a professional carport installer we've dealt with before or if you want to save some money, install it yourself.
Click the Tabs Below to View Details
Carport Styles
Absolute Steel carports and RV covers are designed differently for different environments and they'll fit different budgets as well. We are known across America for steel carports and RV covers that fit into settings that most other steel structures just wouldn't work.
Get information on the:
- SofTop Carport
- Sonoran / Standard Carport
- Sierra Carport
- Single Slope Carport
- Combo Carport
- Teton Carport
- San Tan Carport
SofTop Carport
The SofTop carport is the best cable-tensioned cover on the market today. You can spend a lot more than we charge but the others probably will not engineer for up to 90 mph sustained winds or meet a 30 psf Roof Load. This is made from the same rugged steel specifications as all our steel structures and will never look like those trashy carports that fall over in a year or so. It features:
- 85% UV sun block
- The material has a 10 YEAR WARRANTY against UV degradation and material flaws.
- Water resistant
- Prices start at only $1095 cash & carry – shipping extra.
Sonoran (Standard Carport)
This is the style that started it all and is still going strong. These versatile steel carports and RV covers come in a range of widths from 10' to 40' and eave heights from 7' to 15.5. The main frame system is 2" x 3" galvanized tube steel and in the wider and taller models, we use a rugged 14 gauge 2" x 4" main frame system.
Sonoran carports feature a rounded eave and the panels are applied in a horizontal fashion. This means it's very simple, if you wish, to extend the panels down one or both sides for extra protection against the Texas elements.
We offer the Sonoran carport or RV cover in 5' On Center frames which will meet most Texas building codes and go down to 4' On Center and even 3' On Center for hurricane or mountain environments.
Sierra Carport
Built much the same as the Standard or Sonoran carport, the Sierra has roof panels affixed so that the panels run from the peak to eave, shedding water and other weather better.
For customers that live in an area having snow loads in excess of 35 psf, the Sierra is what we recommend.
Having the panels attached as described above requires additional trim pieces such as ridge cap etc. And in order to run the panels in this fashion this steel carport requires purlins or cross members for those parts to attach to the roof. These extra parts will increase the cost a bit over the Standard or Sonoran steel carport.
Single Slope Carport
The Single Slope carport serves a variety of needs – equipment covers, livestock shades, apartment parking, hay storage and of course, just a simple two car carport. It features clean lines and an unobstructed profile so it's a great covered parking structure when you'd like a carport that as invisible as a carport can be. We have designed and supplied these to job sites to cover one car and up to several hundred. It's a simple structure and the easy installation reflects that.
Combo Carport
The Combo as its name implies is a steel carport structure with additional enclosed storage for odds and ends; its part carport and part building. The storage room can be put on the side or at the end as these two pictures illustrate. This is a great structure because one can avoid the costs of a garage and yet have some private storage or a workshop while getting some protection for vehicles. The panels can be applied horizontally like a Sonoran or Standard carport or like the Sierra offers – vertical.
Your access door can be placed just about anywhere but we suggest you think that out so you don't have to move vehicles to get into the storage room/workshop.
Call us at (888) 658-5147 for pricing on the Combo!
Teton Carport
The Teton carport uses our Grand Beam paneling which is made to look like shiplap siding thereby blending in to many residential environments. It features a 12" soffit overhang and unless closely examined one would think its exterior is wood.
Due to the configuration of the overhangs, the Teton carport has the more trim components than any other carport we manufacture.
San Tan Carport
The San Tan carport is limited to only a few sizes. The San Tan carport most resembles the Sierra except it has less trim components. This style gives you eave overhangs which can vary depending upon the width of the structure but is priced less than other styles that offer the eave overhang due to less in trim costs.
Installing the San Tan is very simple and not time consuming—basic common tools and 2 people and you can complete the job in a few hours.
Click here to go back to top of page
Not all styles are available in all sizes. This is due to engineering constraints in some sizes. For example, our Softop Carport is only available in an 18'x20' two car carport.
Available Colors
Our painted steel panels come with the best paint warranty in the business: guaranteed not to fade, chalk or peel for 25, 30 and even 50 years, depending upon which panel you choose.
If just the paint finish lasts that long – how long do you think the panels will last?
All our American made steel carport or RV cover frames panels are made with 80,000 ksi steel. We NEVER use steel panels rolled from Mexican metal that are painted with cheap, substandard automotive paint.
Colors are approximate representations. We will be glad to mail you an actual color

All our RV covers and steel carports use the best painted steel panels that are also made in America – naturally. The panels we use on our metal building walls and roofs come with a 40 year limited warranty on the paint finish cracking, checking, peeling or losing adhesion. Additionally the paint finish is guaranteed not to fade, chalk or lose color for a period of 30 years.

Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® resin-based paint coatings outperform virtually all other coil coatings in color and gloss retention and in resistance to chalking. Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® has a superior 2-coat system (primer and color coat) that is unsurpassed in its resistance to damaging UV rays. These systems resist general air pollution and will not pit or whiten when exposed to moist environments such as rain, dew, fog, acid rain and chlorinated air.
The service life of Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® coatings and their long-term durability are unparalleled in the industry. These finishes are factory applied and oven baked by the coil coater. Kynar 500® / Hylar 5000® finishes are virtually maintenance-free and non-staining. If cleaning is required, either conventional detergents or solvent-type cleaners can be used. Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000®panels will look as good years from now as the day they are installed. All Kynar 500®/Hylar 5000® colors carry a 40 year limited warranty.
Don't worry about having exterior paint maintenance on a steel building from Absolute Steel!
Steel Frame System
The Core of Our Texas Steel Carports and RV Covers
Our steel carports and RV covers are made only from the same US steel that we use in our metal buildings. We do this because that's the only assurance we have that the steel meets engineering specifications. To do otherwise would be fraudulent and neglectful. Foreign steel, which is used by many of our competitors, is just like canned soup from Mexico – do you want to believe the purported ingredients?
Besides using honest materials, we use larger sized steel, stronger steel and a more corrosive resistant steel than the competition. While this may not mean much to you right now, it will mean the world when the first storm hits.
This will NOT be you….
This one is still for sale
Material cover cave-in
Another still for sale
Ouch! That's gotta hurt.
Our buildings are engineered to stand up to the toughest weather.
Now here's one of our carports erected in south Florida that experienced Hurricane Wilma, one of the fiercest storms to ever hit the East Coast.Hurricane Wilma was the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic basin. Wilma made several landfalls, with the most destructive effects felt in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Cuba, and the U.S. state of Florida. At least 62 deaths were reported, and damage is estimated at over $29.1 billion, ranking Wilma among the top 5 costliest hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic and the fourth costliest storm in U.S. history. This hurricane crossed Florida carrying winds of 110 to 120 MPH. Strong enough to be one of the top 5 most damaging hurricanes, but NOT STRONG ENOUGH to damage an Absolute Steel structure!

Quality, reputation and craftsmanship Does Make a Difference!
So what does all this mean to you?
It means you're getting the best possible value in a steel carport or RV cover that your money can buy.
It means you're getting the same integrity in American craftsmanship and materials that the "big boys" do.
It means you're getting the best warranty in the business. Our frame systems have a conditional lifetime warranty and the steel panels have a paint warranty against fading, chalking or peeling for 20, 30 and even 50 years depending upon which you purchase.
It means you're getting a better selection of models to choose from than you would from any other company in North America.
It means by choosing an Absolute Steel Texas steel carport or RV cover that you can order engineered plans—something that no other tubular steel building system manufacturer in Texas can do.
It means if you want a Texas steel carport or RV cover, you're at the right place!

Concrete and Foundation Information
There are a few ways to anchor your Texas steel carport or RV cover frame system. The primary difference is whether you intend to anchor it to the ground or to concrete.
(Engineering Available) Anchor our Z clip into the concrete so that it can be affixed to the base rail with 2—3/8ths x 33/4" concrete expansion anchors for each Z clip.
The above applies to concrete slabs or runner footers.
Steel carport frame anchored to concrete slab footing
(Engineering Not Available) For years these structures have been anchored to the ground by doing nothing more than pounding the 30" ground anchor into the earth. It's still being done this way with most ground mounts throughout Texas. Personally we would take the extra time (or money in the case of an professional install) to put the corners in concrete caissons as described below and if it was longer, we suggest putting one or two of those in-between the corners.
(Engineering Available) Beside each vertical upright, you would drill a hole 30" deep by 10" around. You would lay your attached base rails on the ground so that the anchor attached to the base rail goes into the hole. Fill with post hole concrete.
(Engineering Available) You can use a ground anchor called a Manta Ray or MR-68 ground anchor. It's a duck billed clamp (opens when you tighten it up on the base rail) and is attached to a 36" 3/8ths all thread bolt. One then places a driving rod into the other hole which is on top of the ground anchor. You then drive this rod (with sledge or jackhammer) which pushes the MR-68 into the ground. Leave about 6 inches of the all thread bolt above ground. Now take a washer and nut and tighten up the all thread bolt that you've put through one of the holes in the Z bracket.
You won't need engineered plans for any county in Texas for a steel carport or RV cover. If you live in an incorporated town or city, you need to check with your local building department.
If you need engineered plans for your carport or RV cover, we can help you.
Texas municipalities can be pretty easy to deal with, and many people have satisfied their local town or city by furnishing drawings from us that show the sizes and strengths of the steel. These are never "wet stamped" by the engineer – if you need original wet stamped plans, that's when we have to charge. Three sets of stamped and sealed drawings along with three sets of stamped and sealed structural calculations by a licensed Texas engineer are $450.
If you are intending to place the structure on "stepped elevations" due to site irregularity, the costs would increase somewhat. Please consult with your Absolute Steel representative for pricing if this is the case.
Along with those engineered plans you'll need a site plan showing the distance from the lot line and nearby buildings (fire access). Hand drawn is fine.
Before you spend your money on engineered plans, please check and see if you are in violation of any setbacks from the lot line or other issues that may prevent you from building your steel carport or RV cover where you intend. We don't make money selling engineered plans so please do this.
"I don't want to go through the permitting process even though I'm supposed to."
Believe it or not, we hear this a lot. About 10% of the people who go this route are subsequently cited by the city for not getting a permit and of those, 90% are due to #3 below. If you're going to build your steel carport or RV cover with a "courtesy permit" we strongly suggest the following:
- Always check and make sure that the placement of the structure is allowable—distance from lot lines etc.
- Document your footings, slab or caissons. Take a picture of your work documenting such with a tape measure to show depth. If it's a footing, take a picture of the steel rebar in place. When you cover things up with concrete no one can tell what's in there unless you have documented it.
- Know your neighbors – 95% of complaints comes from a neighbor. A little communication goes a long ways.
- Follow our installation instructions and do it the way we suggest.
If you subsequently find your structure red tagged by an official, you can then order plans from us and go into the building department, hat in hand, and usually end up with a permit.
Technical Information
We constantly work to improve our products and have done so over many years. This page briefly illustrates the products we use in your Texas steel carport or RV cover frame and some information on why we fabricate things the way we do.
Please take a moment to understand the unique characteristics of our metal carports and RV covers. Any explanations or pictures of similar products are furnished only for comparative evaluation.
Exterior Panels
You should know that Absolute Steel through its sister website Metal Roofing Source distributes metal roofing panels throughout North America and has done so for many years. We supply many companies and government agencies that have strict specifications with regards to the properties of the steel panels that are acceptable.
To give you a real life example: if your painted exterior panels are going to be used in Cargill's salt mines of Ohio with salty moisture dripping on them daily, which ours are, you've got to deliver the best and that's exactly what we do:
- All steel panels have 80,000 ksi strength steel.
- Paint finish warranties of 25, 30 and 40 years against fading chalking or peeling.
- Underwriter's Laboratory, the most trusted worldwide source for product safety certification rates the panels we use an industry leading: UL 2218 Class 4 hail impact rating and a UL 790 Class A fire resistance rating.
Now if the paint finish it guaranteed that long what do you suppose is happening to the steel underneath?
Nothing when you have an Absolute Steel Texas metal carport or RV cover!
Steel Frame System
There's a lot we have to say about the US steel we use in our Texas steel carports and RV cover frames but for our purposes here, we need to discuss our fabrication process and why we make parts the way we do.
Base Rail System – A Superior Foundation
As the base rail system bears the maximum load of the structure itself, we do not use a swedged (mechanically reduced) piece of tube to fit up into the sidewall of your metal carport or RV cover. Instead we use single 14 gauge insert tube (insert tube is slightly smaller: 1 ¾" x 2 ¾") for each vertical upright to slip onto. Why would we do this when we have the equipment to reduce/swedge the ends of 2×3 steel that we use throughout the frame and therefore could avoid this costly step?
The two reasons why are:
- At the bottom, where condensation can collect, you have uniform and tight connections where it is most critical to keep moisture out.
- 12″ inserts give you plenty of adjustment capabilities in the event your site is irregular.
The Worst Connection
A Better Connection
The BEST Connection
Side Walls – Easy to Assemble and Stronger
Common sense tells you that a sidewall that's made up of more than one piece is not as strong as a single piece and yet that's what the competition often does. The reason we use a single piece for the sidewall of your Texas steel carport or RV cover is pretty straightforward:
- Single piece connections that run from the base rail to the eave piece give you more strength on that wall.
- By not using multiple pieces for a sidewall, you have less assembly. That makes it easier on you or less money if you are paying an installer.
- Your steel carport or RV cover in Texas will have a wall that's straight.
- You have parts that easily adjust without machining which adds up front costs.
Their Multi-Piece Sidewall
It stands to reason that the more parts you have, the less overall strength you'll have. Not to mention the extra work involved!
Our Single Piece Sidewall
This is ours. There's no additional parts to mess with, and by virtue of there being no connections, you will have a stronger sidewall!
Peak and Eave Bends – The Power Bend
Plain and simple, our Power Bend is the most superior technology in the tubular steel building business; its way out in front of the competition. That's quite a statement but with the following information and a few pictures, you'll know why we can make that claim.
First you need to understand that angles and curves—features you see on a car body are not just pretty, they're necessary as they contribute to rigidity/strength of the steel. That's why a piece of angle iron is stronger than a straight piece of steel strap.
There are several technologies used to make the bends at the peaks and eaves of a Texas steel carport or RV cover. Let's take a look at some and compare:
Crush Bend: This bend puts a tremendous amount of stress on one isolated spot. It's the cheapest, most structurally unsound way to accomplish a bend with steel tube. And to make a bad job worse, most of the Crush Bend structures we've seen are made with inferior quality 2.25″ x 2.25″ Mexican steel.
An uninformed person will buy this product which uses Mexican steel and Crush Bends for both the peaks and eaves. The price is attractive except when you consider you'll be replacing it every year or two.
Knowing the peak has been weakened by the Crush Bend, this company is using a 16 gauge U brace to give the weakened point more strength. (Doesn't work but does show some diligence.)
Notice the use of two crush bends, that's because the Crush Bend is so radical it would tear the steel if one tried to make the necessary radius with one bend. As a side note, one panel screw used per side on a joint is simply inadequate and dangerous – and this is a sales model!
Apparently this carport is still for sale? Pay particular attention to where this structure gave in—right at the stress points; the crush bends despite any U channel bracing.
Mandrel Bend: This one claims to have "a stronger bend transition". To debunk that statement one only has to look at the two pictures below. The lineal pattern on the inside and outside of the steel tube that underwent the "mandrel bend stretching process" is caused by stress lines in the steel. With a mandrel bend the steel is stretched and the stress marks are visible—and that's what you can see. This is not good.
Power Bend: The Power Bend adds six more surfaces with condensed curves to strengthen peaks and eaves – remember the car body and why it has contours to its surfaces? The peaks and eaves need to be built that way because steel carports and RV covers are prone to stress at those points.
The Power Bend
The Power Bend is a result of rolling the excess steel
while the curvature is created. The rolled
edging now gives strength to the transition curve.

West Brom 1 West Ham 0 - match report and pictures
Saido Berahino's first-half goal took Albion a giant step towards Premier League safety as they claimed their first home win under Pepe Mel.
The young striker was recalled to the starting line-up and prodded home Morgan Amalfitano's cross-shot in the 11th minute to settle an intensely nervous game.
The Baggies fans suffered an excruciating afternoon and the Hammers had chances, not least when Andy Carroll headed against the bar in the second half.
But they held on for a priceless win to move to 36 points.
Albion made a nervous start and offer the visitors some early encouragement.
First a Mark Noble free-kick glanced dangerously off the head of Steven Reid and drifted just past the far post for a corner.
Then a cross by Matt Jarvis forced Billy Jones and Jonas Olsson into some crucial last-ditch defending to deny Andy Carroll.
But it was the hosts who went ahead in the 11th minute when Stephane Sessegnon ghosted past James Tomkins and fed Morgan Amalfitano, who drilled in a low cross-shot that was turned in from close range by Berahino.
The Hammers continued to threaten with Carroll looking especially dangerous.
He saw a half-volley from a Stewart Downing cross blocked by Craig Dawson before seeing a header from a Guy Demel centre saved brilliantly by Ben Foster.
But the Baggies had two good chances to double their lead.
First Billy Jones burst forward from left-back and headed just wide from a superb Amalfitano cross.
And then Graham Dorrans dragged a shot just off target after a pacy break by Sessegnon.
Foster then made another smart block at his near post to keep out a low shot from Mohamed Diame.
Albion began the second half on the front foot and Adrian made a smart save low down early on from Jones.
And the Baggies should have doubled their lead on two occasions.
First there was chaos in the Hammers defence as Sessegnon broke and fed Berahino, but the youngster failed to get a shot away and Adrian then saved from Sessegnon.
And then a poorly-hit long-range shot from Youssouf Mulumbu broke for Berahino, who could not get it under control and prodded the ball straight to Adrian.
But the Hammers should have been ahead when Carroll escaped the attentions of Albion's defenders to connect with a free header from a Jarvis corner but his effort struck the crossbar.
There was a tense finale as the Hammers launched long balls towards the home goal and the Baggies lived on their nerves, but they held on for a priceless win.Subscribe to our Newsletter

Mike Baggies Fan (Coseley)
Well done to all the players at West Brom that's the result we wanted this should give us the lift, a fantastic result, we must seal our place now with another win and we can breathe easier, but a great improvement especially winning a home game at last under Pepe Mel our new Manager, Keep it up and keep us in the premiership for next season. "Up The Baggies "
Three well earned deserved home points very tense towards the final whistle with it only at 1 nil, coild've been more with a bit more composure in front of goal.
But who cares looks like we will be ok now, two more points from next two games and a nice relaxed win final day against Stoke.
We shall overcome.

Currently havin' a few beers, and soakin' up the atmosphere of very happy Baggies fans-
in the words of the great Stevie Ray Vaughan-
' the house is a rockin ', everybody come on in.......'
The Baggies rise, and Villa fall.....
pretty much says it all..........;-)
Afternoon fella,
great result yesterday....sorry I missed you in the ground....went for a drink at half time and didn't read your reply to me on the other thread until just.
I'll be getting a ticket for the Stoke game tomorrow and it'll be likely in the East stand again so we can try again....
I've posted about Russell Brand below...did anyone else see him??
regards mate....still smiling
CantelloRocket 78
Alright Andy?
I seem to be havin' trouble making direct contact with you - is this because you Scots have already declared independence and moved further out into the North Sea??.......;-)
Actually I've replied to you further on this thread, just look down, and you'll find me near the bottom, standing on Bully's head......
Hopefully see you for Stoke.
Great result! Can't see Baggies going down now.
CantelloRocket 78
So why not come on in and join us?-
'The house is a rockin '........' :-)
Have done! Our Black Country Dudley /Netherton family are all happy bunnies!
Toasting a great Baggies result here in Corfu with Baggies mates.
CantelloRocket 78
Good to hear - enjoy.
By the way, have you got 2 weeks available in late August?
Self-catering will be fine, we'll bring a crate of duty free Bathams and a bag of faggots 'n' peases.....??

With talk like that it wasn't you yesterday who was impersonating me and insulting fellow fans?
If not can you get your Inch High Private Eye costume on and investigate?
CantelloRocket 78
Bon dia,
my investigations are on-going, but in an attempt to find out who was impersonating yow last night, I've contacted Interpol to find out more about this guy who seems to keep sayin' on here that he's 'Euro Ric' - they told me he was last seen guzzlin' a large quantity of red wine in a Magaluf bar, whilst watchin' the Baggies game yesterday on half a dozen big screens at the same time, then afterwards dancin' around the place tellin' everybody Albion won 6-0, and Berahino scored a double hat-trick......
I'll keep you informed.
Kev in Mallorca
If by the time of the Stoke game when we meet up in The Vine you've completed your dossier, please had it too me discreetly as you never know who's watching.
Over and out.
Great result today and an excellent team effort.
We showed a great desire to win the game scrapping for every ball and whilst there were a few to close for comfort moments we managed to see the game out.
Personally I think that 36 points will now be sufficient to keep us up and I think with the pressure reduced we may well pick up further points against Stoke and Sunderland
The relief from the crowd and players suggested we all realised at full time exactly how big that win was today
Ref was awful today,a fully deserved win,it helps when you get such a poor side like West Ham,Sess had his best game to date,Brunt is a must at left back distribution was great in the second half,just one error when he belted it square out of play,we kept the ball well today instead of booting it and that makes it easier to frustrate the opposition well done Albion COYB
Pragmatic - we've played better and not won!! Deserved the 3 points but we continue to make it difficult for ourselves by missing golden opportunities up front and sometimes panicky in defence (although Carroll is a handful).
Sessegnon man of match by a country mile (apart from Ben in the first half) so VERY surprised to see him subbed.
Should be safe now, so hopefully Pepe can continue to put his mark on the Club.
Kev in Mallorca
why do you feel n'need to be so picky at such a euphoric time?
Kev in Mallorca
The n' is alcohol induced.
CantelloRocket 78
So how many 'n's have yow had....?
And am yow still euphoric.....?
Kev in Mallorca
What the chuck d'yo think?
PS At least o'dow feel like complainin' Mboy,IDIOT!!!!
Adeu agen!
Kev in Mallorca
complaining "like" Mboy, sorry must try better.
Kev - as Jack the Hat did earlier this week, I think that you've shown your true colours, so I hope that you feel suitably embarrassed when you sober up and read these posts again.
I don't quite know why you're euphoric - we have just won a game that might mean that we avoid relegation this season - not a reason to be "euphoric", in my opinion!!! We all felt "euphoric" against Portsmouth in the Great Escape season, but we went down with a whimper the next!!
(In the interests of fairness, I thought that Jimmy did well when he came on!!)
CantelloRocket 78
when yow come over for Stoke, dressed as that 'Nun with the Bun in the Oven' I'm gonna get Mboy out from behind that bush in the pub an' tell everybody he's the Father, and it happened when he was wearin' beer goggles, since when he's bin hidin' from the Mother Superior-
THAT'LL give him summat to complain about-
Bonjour agen.

Sorry, must try harder!

Mar mate Mboy
I shout my true colour's from the roof tops with no shame what so ever, I am what I am!!
I don't hide in any bushes and everybody I know knows what too expect, unlike yourself.
If you don't like it? TOUGH!!!
Why do you bring this crap into things after a great step in the success of WBAFC?
I'm euphoric, are you unhappy we won?
You're proving to be an uncouth drunkard!!
Kev in Mallorca
Better than being a sneaky voyeur!
Adeu HIC! oops sorry!
Because it's not good for my health. Felt physically sick for the last 20 minutes!!
What a great team performance. Superb support from the fans. A blessing in disguise that Reid had to go off, that was the only weak link I could see in the first half. But a bit of re-jigging and we looked comfortable. A well deserved win, but no thanks to the cockney officials, in particular the East stand linesman where I was. He was atrocious, and could have cost us the game. West Brom FC, from the BLACK COUNTRY!!!!
Wolf in peace...
Well done you happy Baggies.
That should just about end any jitters and fearful looks in the rearview mirror, because the road ahead looks free of any more relegation pitfalls..
You're in the clear!
Thanks for your post .... the problem is when it's your team and you are in the thick of it nothing is ever certain until it is mathematically safe ... You've been there too with Wolves.
Simmo54, so true, so true!
won it 5 times
At last we are almost safe. We're a much better side than West Ham, that showed today. We should never really have got in this position in the first place, we've way too much quality, with the management change its been difficult but ultimately the ability of the players going forward has seen us through. Well done baggies !
A great win for the Baggies. Every player had to fight hard for victory, which was well deserved!
Need to beat Sunderland away next week this will ensure safety!
Onwards and up for the BAGGIES!
Congratulations Pepe Mel and all the lads!
Boing! Boing! Come on you BAGGIES!!
A real battling performance and IMO we controlled the second half and should have scored a couple more goals
WONOH - good to meet up with you today and YES the shirt was lucky - you saw it, your were in its presence ... Job done
We Only Need One Half!
Pleasure my friend, dont you dare wash that shirt!
West Ham were simply awful ... Plan A - just launch it high in the box and hope Carroll gets on the end of one . Plan B - get another big bloke on and launch it high into the box etc.
Ben Foster was superb in the first half - a couple of really world class saves and a second half not a great deal to do.
Fully deserved for everybody, Players, Pepe, the staff and the fans who were simply excellent again today ... it was like a cup final - didn't mind getting soaked by that hail storm walking back towards the motor way island.
Kev in Mallorca
The ony thing that's makes me 'appy I wasn't there is me cardboard loudhailer would've have wilted in the hailstorm!!
If you had been here and dressed as Rev Kev I am sure you could have halted the hailstorm ....like Moses (not Remi I hasten to add) parting the Red Sea .... I can see it know - the sequel to the 10 Commandments - "In Pastures Green'
And by the way - I know that the E and D don't like us, but the comment above regarding Carroll's header that hit the bar suggests that away goals should count double at the Hawthorns!!!
Kev in Mallorca
Similar to most of your comments!
You what? Go to bed and sober up!!
Kev in Mallorca
What happened yesterday? o'dow remember a thing, some cheeky bar steward has been impersonating me and I apologize profusely for his behaviour, I shall be firing a strongly worded e-mail off to the E&S immediately.
Fair enough!!
How good was Mulumbu ? superb display, and great performance by Brunt, surely that's his best position.
jon williams
Great result, hard fought but never the less deserved. Sessingnon was good, but I also hoped the fans saw the effort put in by Amilfortino. The crosses he put in got us the goal, but he put in several other brilliant crosses with no-one in the box to receive them, something we have got to put right. Question was the other day, should we keep him, don't see how we can afford to be without him, JP, get the signature.
King Jeffs Left Boot
It's took an ugly win to get the points today, we had plenty of them under megson in the championship, do u think pepe gave him a bell for a bit of advice lol, think we might just be safe now, battled like we know a Baggie side can, all you boys stepped up to the mark today, proud of ya, PRIDE OF THE MIDLANDS AGAIN, COYB.
Ridgewell didn't play hence a win

I feel like I want to watch some prem footie tonight for a change, Anyway well done lads and also Pepe good job

"But the Hammers should have been ahead when Carroll escaped the attentions of Albion's defenders to connect with a free header from a Jarvis corner but his effort struck the crossbar." ...great reporting that....as we were 1-0 up at the time - don't they have to equalise first?

Typical tihs from the Express and Dingle.
Jack the Hat
boy from the REAL black country,
I didn't realize one had to read the E&D match report. Believed I just had to post my thoughts about the match on this site.
boy from the REAL black country
Said after the Spurs match we needed just 2 more points - just don't see two of the bottom four teams bettering the 35pts mark, with our far superior GD, 35pts would see us safe (absolute minimum requirement mind, i'd rest far easier if we get past 37pts!) so i'm fairly happy with the 36pts we've got, safe, as far as i'm concerned.
I hope that young blonde girl who took my pic on her Ipad sticks to her promise and puts my pic on Barclays REAL supporters site.

ManInsider 1877,
I see you are having nice dreams when you are away from the nightmare of wolves being country miles below my club.

Great day nice to be in good humour on a Saturday night for a change.Those butterflies in my gut are receding I think we are ok now & A BIG THANKYOU TO sHANE FOR PEGGING FULHAM BACK ,wota day coyb
Jack the Hat
astle bridge,
What I did notice mate was how Long's legs stopped running when he felt the slightest touch in their box, the diver, mind you his diving header was a good one too, as it should be with all that practice. I stated before, our fate is in our own hands, also I've said many times during this horrible campaign that our squad is strong enough to stay up and I see no reason for me to change my mind.
Onward and upward with the BAGGIES.
The Real Bully Hoo.
I don't know what you've got against Shane Long but that was a penalty all day long (NPI.)
Jack the Hat
I can now understand why he never got a verdict when he played for us, that challenge on him wouldn't have levered a moth out of the way. Now look at the battering Victor took when holding the ball at the corner flag by two defenders, stayed on his feet and won a throw-in, now imagine Long in the same predicament, he would have been on his backside. I arrest my case mate. He has never been the same since that Villa clogger Hutton kicked him off the park.
The Real Bully Hoo.
Rock solid penalty.
Jack the Hat
Beg to differ.
Woodman Corner Jake
Excellent result; whole-hearted and committed performance has made us virtually safe. Pleased for Pep and the lads - but most importantly us fans.
Hopefully we can play the final games devoid of the FUD factor (fear, uncertainty, doubt) and express ourselves fully; the side has enough talent and should aim to turn up the entertainment dial to 11!
Let's go out with a bang and put this mostly-horrible season behind us.
Well done you baggies, an excellent 3 points and safety. Can't see you being in the same position next season so looks like it's upto us to get ourselves back into the prem if we're ever going to enjoy the old rivalry back on the pitch.
Once again congrats and enjoy the last few games without the black clouds.

Still euphoric!!!

Kev in Mallorca
Don't come on here speaking of such deplorable behaviour you'll upset the local Temperance Society.
Jack the Hat
Three well earned points and a good vault over Villa says " We are almost there ". Both teams were nervous at the outset which was to be expected but after the first ten minutes our boys knuckled down to keep a clean sheet. Every one of our boys was a hero as they stood up to be counted. Gordon Amalfitano was my man of the match, just. Sessignon, Brunt, Dawson, Billy the Kid all ran him close. Billy the kid marked Jarvis out of the game second half, so much so Jarvis had to be replaced. Foster was his solid self and seemed to fill his goal. Special word for captain Brunt, his crosses in the first half made sure Bubbles defence lived on the edge. Second half after Billy had moved to right back to take care of Jarvis, Chris moved to right back and this tall lad was immense in that position with his distribution too. Has Mel uncovered a new left back?, we only need another one now. Where is Jacket the hat and the Sycho twins Maninsider-1877, surely he will be on here praising our solid performance I thought they would have been first in the queue with the Maninsider half saying how chuffed he was with his great day out and how much it cost him. Well it looks as if wolves can breath a sigh of relief as they won't get another 5-1 stuffing off us next season. Will it leave a bitter taste in the mouths of the deriding Dog-Heads who visit the light side regularly and camp out around the HAWTHORNS. Another nine points will put the cherry on the cake. L☺Ls.
What a bostin wikend, ay et.
Lo que a reventaring fin de semana. Just for you Pepe.
Jack the Hat
The beer is good, meant, moved to left back and Psycho. hic, has Mboy finished his milk yet?.
I didn't see West Ham as a poor team except in their finishing and Ben did make a few world class saves when they could have scored. Also, they held the upper hand for quite a while, maybe down to our nerves, maybe not. What did lift me was when we did attack, the thrusts through their defence were fast, accurate and threatening. Sessegnon is beginning to look like a very top quality player, Berahino
a fine prospect. I put this down to Pepe Mel. Several of our 'derided players' have blossomed under his tutorship. That is not a coincidence.
A deserved win, cloud 9 was full to bursting with our supporters so I had to make do with that soaking wet one that drowned us all.
Oh and solihullbaggie....you are two letters short off your name !!!!!!!!!!!!
CantelloRocket 78
as I've previously mentioned, when Pepe joined Real Betis they were in a very poor state, but they allowed him to bring in several players of his own choosing, after which he shaped them into a team that won promotion, established themselves in the top flight, then later chalked up victories against the top Spanish clubs-
Coach Mel was handed a massive challenge at Albion, with little more than one young lad added to the existing squad - imagine what he might do with a few more talented, committed, positive-minded players ' of his kind ' being brought to The Hawthorns in the near future?
The prospect could be mouthwatering.......
Jez Moxeys second chin
Congratulations guys, i think this should be enough to keep you in the top flight and with a bit of luck we will see you there in two or three years time.

Well done to all the lads , and supporters ,as they say down this way ``Proper Job``

The Daily Mirror continued it's muck-stirring last night by pushing a story claiming Albion are trying to line-up Tim Sherwood to replace Pepe Mel - just hours after Pepe was seen enjoying our victory.
Thinking about it, if we hadn't conceded those recent 'last-kick' goals against Cardiff and Spurs, we'd now be looking at 5 wins from our last 7 games - maybe something promising might be starting to develop........??
Captain Mardon International
I hope it's true personally
The Real Bully Hoo.
I'm not quite sure what you base that on.
Pepe Mel has had a lot of problems to deal with that haven't been his fault but he's dealt with them well without complaining. Unlike Sherwood who slags of his players whenever anything goes wrong.
We've played some good and exciting football of late with a limited squad. Spurs results and performances have been very up and down with a very expensive squad.
Many of our players, Dorrans, Sessignon, Berahino, Brunt, I could go on have looked much better. I would put this down to the manager.
Your thoughts please.
The Real Bully Hoo.
Great win in the circumstances as the nerves in the dressing room must have been tremendous.
Foster, Mulumbu, Jones and Sess had great games and the rest weren't far behind. A special word for Saido who looked like a proper Premier League centre forward.. He showed great strength for his size and frequently out muscled Collins and Reid, Matej Vydra needs to get down the gym with him.
We've played some very good football lately as well as showing great fighting spirit and this can only come from the manager. We must keep him.
Hear hear Bully ! And what about that bloody Viking at the back ?
The Real Bully Hoo.
Hi Cyril.
Yeah perhaps you're right and we've come to take Jonas's performances for granted.
I also thought that after giving Saido some stick after the Cardiff game (which he deserved) he merited a positive comment for what to me was far and away his best performance yet by a country mile.
The Real Bully Hoo.
As I had to go round the ticket office yesterday at about twenty past two, I tried to spot you by the steak sandwich van, I was looking for your female entourage but couldn't see any likely candidates, were you there?
Bully, it was around 2.40pm when we got outside the food van and as Sir Terence had already gone, we didn't hang about. That's also why no ladies. He's the magnet, not me.
We still have the Stoke game. I'll try to be early enough for that one. Sadly the traffic from the Walsall direction is getting hopeless thanks to those poxy lights on the Oldbury West Brom dual carriageway.
Kev in Mallorca
Day need yowa mate Dougie at left back did we?
The Real Bully Hoo.
I hate to break this to you as your head is probably in a highly delicate state today but once he converted from RIGHT half to RIGHT back that's where Dougie played every game.
Hope you're well mate and hope to see you sometime at the Stoke game, whether you'll remember it or not.
Kev in Mallorca
Must be an age thing but I remember as him playing at left back and putting opposing players in the Halford's, obviously you being older than me I bow to your greater wisdom.
It seems I've always had trouble knowing what's gooin' on.
Try and pop in the Vine before the match.
CantelloRocket 78
Bully & Kev,
I've just consulted me ' Baggies Book of useless trivia ' and yo'm both right-
bear with me -
when Dougie Fraser joined us around '63, he played in the no.4 shirt, then when Terry Simpson left, he switched to No.6-
but the season we won the Cup in '67-68, he played in the nos. 2, 4, & 6 shirts, and at no. 3 for a couple of games late season, then he switched permanently to no.2 when Yorkie Kaye moved back from 8 to 6.
Not long after, Chicago released their hit single ' 25 or 6 to 4 '-
So I'm sure all that's as clear as mud......
All wins are great wins but in the context of what this match was, what had happened the previous two home games an this being our last home game before a potential last day scramble match, this win should not be underestimated.
No McCauley, Reid off injured, Brunt playing out of position. This was truly a team showing unity and above all else, BOTTLE. I thought Berahino worked his socks off, Dorrans is playing like a man possessed. He truly is a magnificent player when he is in the groove. Brunt was rock solid at full back, Billy Jones fantastic and if Sessegnon could produce the form he showed in the first hour week in week out he would murder any team. Ben Foster is such a fine goalkeeper too. Last but not least i would like to take a word for Pepe Mel. This guy wants to change the way we play yet is astute enough to realise you can't do it over night and that we are in a position where results are important. I really think he will make us a force next season providing a) we stay up and b) he stays. COME ON YOU BAGGIES!!!!
The Real Bully Hoo.
I agree with all of that especially the part about the manager.
I would encourage all supporters that feel the same way to let the club know how we feel and bombard them with demands that we keep him.
He really does seem to care, he's got all of the players onside and last but not least he seems a genuinely nice bloke.
Thought Foster and Sessignon were superb yesterday.
John B
Safe now with 3 games still to go. Dont know what all the panic was about. I was a nervous wreck yesterday but feel great today. The noise was deafening when sess held the ball in the corner in the last minute. The crowd pulled us through this one. Well done to all the supporters there
funny old world
You mean big Vic
a good win and a little more breathing space......and a great showing from Mulumbu and Foster who must have a shout of the number 1 shirt now for England.....to be fair to West 'ammmm...we were just the better side and with a little more composure from Sadio and Sess it could have been 3 or 4. I still think we need 1 more win just to be on the safe side but at least it's firmly in our hands now...Jones was great on both flanks....Morrison good when he came on and Dorrans was superb....and big Vic in the corner.....a quality moment. Some of our attacking play was pretty good and when we went at them with pace they had no real answer to us...
On another note....the afternoon did start a little funny though.....I'd only had 1 drink as I walked into the East stand loo's to see a certain so called comedian being escorted out by a very large Steward.....Russell Brand ladies and gentlemen....now did I imagine this or was a celebrity West 'ammm fan in the home end?? And he looked a total prune as well.....just as he does on the telly really...
CantelloRocket 78
alright mate?
I think I saw everybody in the East Stand on Saturday except for you and Russell Brand....lol.
At one point I did venture over to where you said you'd be - Row F Seat 8? - but no one was sitting there at the time, actually there were about half a dozen empty seats together.
As for Russell Brand, it must've been him because it seems he's got the West Ham club crest tattooed on his arm -
but I'm glad he got kicked out, because I then managed to jump in his seat next to Katy Perry......;-)
Maybe see you next time?
Hi mate,
me an dad got to our seats at about 2.50 then went for a drink at half time.....but we are coming to Stoke and will be in the east stand again so hopefully see you then.
Russell Brand....couldn't believe it.
The Real Bully Hoo.
I've been watching the games on Sky today and each one resulted in an important lesson.
1. Phil Dowd is in danger of becoming a good referee. He waited to allow Wickham the chance to score before awarding the penalty. In other words he didn't punish a player who was honest enough to try to stay on his feet as many other ref's do by chickening out of giving the penalty. If more ref's did this there might be less diving.
2. Liverpool fans are rubbish. After seeing their team concede a second goal in the last minute in a game they were desperate to win, they broke into a rousing rendering of 'You'll never walk alone' and then applauded their team off the pitch. As we all know they should have booed their players off the pitch to encourage them to try harder next time.
3. When Samir Nasri went down with a calf injury, two highly trained physio's ran on and apparently modern medicine's accepted treatment for such injuries is to squirt a bit of Lucozade on them.
TRBH: brilliant...
And good luck in your remaining games, especially against Stoke...
Good win. Much needed. Survival looks on the cards
loyal baggie
TRBH- I always look forward to seeing your posts always provides a good read! :).
A very big win for us its always good to see us playing well. Its in out hands now if we can put on a good performance in our remaining games then it'll be prem football next year. Hey we've done it before we can do it again!!
The Real Bully Hoo.
Thanks for that. It's good to know that somebody reads them.
TRBH- top post, sums up the EPL , its never a easy ride on the WBA roller Coaster.
The only thing I find most astonishing, Disturbing, Unbelievable, ridiculous, flabbergasting, shocking is that with all the drama going on in our Div, How come so many wulfs come on here, and comment, its not that we are in the same div , is it. They even try to congratulate us, well im not having it, shove youre congrats , u dirty dingles up your mums, boing boing baggies baggies. I would never ever, waste my time by going on some 2 league lower than me, and wasting my time and electricity to ever ever congratulate a wulf . They just don't get it. Im gob smacked that they just don't get it .
Calm down dear, you'll blow a fuse!!
18underpants77, Eldervo (traitor) turncoat , Scab, or anybody for that matter.,can somebody please enlighten me and explain, have wulfs just won the EPL, or the champions league , the champiomship¿ wulfs fans r going on like they've done something out the extraordinary. Hmmmm sorry to wet on your fireworks dingles, but I am thinking that you're a bit deluded that you think, yep and only think ,that you have won something major. I don't get it, I just don't understand. I acknowledge that in the 3 rd tier of English club football, you've come top. Please stop being time thieves, and wasting our time. We have at football level absolutely nothing but nothing in common. Is that a fair comment or am I being unfair, please tell me. I don't think you have really got over the fact that when we kicked your back doors in, 5-1 the rot set in, mad mick was off the rest is history. I am honestly not gloating, just totally bemused. By the reaction of wulfs who honestly think that they are European champions, sensible reply's with an explanation please. Please, Mboy is absolutely disgusted with our performance, DOlally is disappointed that Ridgewell didn't play, but still manages to slag our performance, the players must feel brill that theres d icks out there. who cannot appreciate the efforts. Loads of money they are on you cry, but you still go to games, and not support them, well go to Man Utd instead they will welcome your support.
Its just a wba thing I guess, cos we are Albion , We are Albion
Capehill - where have I said that I was "absolutely disgusted with our performance"?
Think you need to grow up and spend more time at the school that you are supposed to be attending.
do lallytap
"DOlally is disappointed that Ridgewell didn't play, but still manages to slag our performance"....WHERE ??
Why oh why do I waste my time with fools on here ?
Eldervo I don't think you are a wolves fan, I don't think you are an Albion fan either. See the simple thing is that when u changed allegiance, you messed up big time, because who in there midst would want a traitor. I don't think many wolves fans would take you seriously because you claim to have seen the light, after being an Albion fan, and what if u suddenly decided that , now I want to support Albion again, we don't do traitors or turn coats. We the public just don't know do we, u can say what u like but nobody, but nobody trusts you. Its a bit like being a spy or double agent, no one knows your next move, so you're in limbo really , a nobody with no true feeling for a club to follow , cause you might get bored, or angry and might just say stuff u lot im supporting the club down the road.. Villa and Walsall, Blue noses who knows who's next,( yep only you) nah u cant be trusted after what u have done. We cant believe anything you say.
Capehill: probably the 3 funniest back to back rants I've read on any of the sites. Have you calmed down yet??
We Only Need One Half!
Well its took all weekend for the nerves to settle back down! what a fantastic result, and deserved I believe. For any wulfies watching MOTD, did you hear us singing to you when The Liquidator played ;-) the place was buzzing once again.
All in all a brilliant weekend! not only a much deserved three points at home at last, but almost every result that could have gone for us has!
Without us doing another jot, Cardiff cant catch us now, so thats one spot gone, Fulham have to win both remaining games, as do Norwich, and those poor buggers have got Chelsea and Arsenal in their last two, and with Chelsea's win at Anfield, giving them a glimmer of the Prem title still, you can only see them in for a hammering in that game, Man City's renewed hope is also going to make it extremely uncomfortable for the Villa (they couldn't, could they?, did anyone get on that 20-1 against I mentioned the other week?) who knows, good chance we may retain our Pride of the Midlands crown, yet again.
The mid table finish that I said was achievable sometime ago now looks a realistic prospect, and we all now what places make at this stage of the season, prize money!
What a difference a weekend makes, eh?
p.s. where's the fashionista Do Lal? sign we won again, what's he like eh?
CantelloRocket 78
well I looked at the Bookies' odds last night mate, then I also checked tonight's adjustment-
as an example, Coral's current odds for relegation-
Cardiff - 1/25
Norwich - 1/12
Fulham - 2/7
Sunderland - 11/4
Villa - 7/1
Albion - 25/1
They're also runnin' a book on which hat you'll wear for the Stoke game....
( p.s. - Villa's final 2 games, away to Man.C. and Spurs.....scary....!! )
The Real Bully Hoo.
Can I have two bob each way on a fascinator?
CantelloRocket 78
I always wondered, how do they get these fascinators to stay on the side of the head - superglue??
I just realised, Kev's lookin' at possible fancy dress themes for Stoke, hopefully not 'Ascot Ladieees day'......
We Only Need One Half!
Bully, amongst my wide, varied and ever expanding portfolio of products, I actually sell fascinator's, or I can do you a proper Wedding Hat if you want to go the full Monty? I can also sell you a 3 tin cake set if you want to bake your own, or if you want to add that touch of elegance how about a tussie mussie like Hercule Poirot's if you want to be really classy (I threw that last one in because I just know the people from the dark side will just have to look it up to see what it is lol)
CR, its just a simple a hair clip or long toothed comb on the reverse mate, although some of the more elaborate ones do seem to defy gravity. I still think Fulham can do it at the expence of Sunderland, mind you, depends if Fletch gets his boots on again before the end of the season. Can you imagine that conversation-
"shall we play our 12 mill striker?"
"Nah, we need an actual goal scorer, lets go and get Wickham back from Sheffield Wednesday"
Never fails to makes me chuckle that 12 mill price tag.
Smart money would be on a Peaky Blinder cap, final game against Stoke, how about we all turn up in traditional Black Country 'Mon' dress? flat caps, waistcoats, and collar less shirts, simple to do (just raid your Granddads or any old fella's wardrobe) and as the only team in the Black Country, befitting. Bonus points if you can smuggle a staffie, whippet or a pigeon in!
The Black Country is ours after all!
Kev in Mallorca
I glad yo mentioned that, I'm still hoping to persuade somebody to be the bull too my matador so we can put on a mock bullfight in front of The Brummie at the Stoke game, I'm sure we'd get the whole ground shouting OLLAY!, ANY TAKERS?????
The Real Bully Hoo.
In the interests of fairness can you make sure you only dress as a lower league matador.
We Only Need One Half!
Well Kev, being big enough to play the back and front end of the bull at the same time I suppose it should be me, but I'm a bit shyer (is that a word?) than you.
and for that reason, I'm out!
The Real Bully Hoo.
My other thought was that a German helmet, the one with the spike on top would really suit you. You don't stock those as well do you?
We Only Need One Half!
Bully, sadly no, but I can do you a brand new SWAT helmet, I've even got some bullet/stab proof vests in at the moment if you want the full kit and caboodle.
The Real Bully Hoo.
Thanks WONOH but no thanks, I've worn them and they ain't the most comfortable things. I'm still mulling over the fascinator though.
We Only Need One Half!
OHHH, do you want it Sir? oh suit you Sir! OHHHH
I agree, the vests are not exactly Lounge wear, but given the situations they tend to be worn in, better than the alternative.
Kev in Mallorca
Can yo put one of them vest in the lay-away fu'me just in case Pepe get the job, it'll be a good Christmas present fu'Max.
We Only Need One Half!
He will need two Kev, one to wrap around each wrist!
We dug in for a great result, I still believe 36 will be enough to stay up.
Also special mention for JP who had the vision to sell Long in January and today he repaid us by scoring the equlizer against Fulham.
We Only Need One Half!
I wondered who would spot that, double oh Burnley, you noticed Agent Long is completing his mission well!
Wonder how many wulfies were still smiling from when we sold him when he headed in that Edward Woodward (The Equalizer!) ;-)
CantelloRocket 78
Well if Sunderland and Fulham pick up any points next weekend, and Shane scores the winner for Hull at Villa Park, me claret 'n' blue neighbour's gonna need some kind of medication with Man.C. And Spurs away to finish their campaign......
We Only Need One Half!
and they say a week is a long time in politics, they want to try following the EPL!
Very funny
Hopefully rouge agent Odemwingie's mission can now be aborted
We Only Need One Half!
Listen mate, if we are safe before that Stoke game the defector from Russia with scowl, known as Odem might well throw a sickie for that last game, or at least buy a decent pair of ear defenders.
You know what I mean ;-)
The Real Bully Hoo.
I bet you stock ear defenders, anything for a sale.
We Only Need One Half!
Bully, funny you should mention that lol, yes I do, here, riddle me this, in this article
It says "Not-for-profit organisation Black Country Festival Events is also selling flags"
Well if its not for profit why are Black Country flags 3 quid cheaper on Ebay?
Is it me?
The Real Bully Hoo.
I'll give the Black Country flag a miss as well, too many imposters about, a bit like on here although whisper it he seems to have gone, no doubt thinking up his new name.
Well played all of the players and well done to all of the supporters who went to the game.
Watching it on tv, the expressions on the faces were a picture.
I used to have brown hair but now i am afraid it is grey all over.
Has this been because of watching the Baggies so long? Or is it because i am so old?
I will leave you to decide.
Once again thanks to all you wonderful supporters and the manager and players.
I have suffered so much this season ,like many times before ,but i think it has been worth it.
Thanks Phil
Sorry ,slight spelling mistake.
CantelloRocket 78
Interesting comments from Pepe in an interview this weekend-
he said if he's still in charge for next season, he'll have a say in what new players we bring in, and at present there's only 13 in the whole squad with a definite contract for next term, although 3 or 4 others could activate another year's deal-
so he claims we'll have a very different looking team.........
We won a critical game no doubt about that . Now to bring you lot back down to Planet Earth . We a'int safe yet and the way this season has gone i for one a'int counting my chickens.
As for keeping Pepe Mel you must be having a laugh . We only won Saturday cos Reid got injured , Jones went to right back and Brunt went to left back ( ie the way we SHOULD have started ) . Mel then did his best to ruin it taking Sess off , did you see Mulumbu's reaction to it ? thought not , he was totally disgusted as was i .
Mel's first two substitutions against Spurs cost us two points .
Anybody who thinks we should carry on with this fifth rate Spanish comedian are living in ' Cloud Cuckoo Land '
Adios ( Particularly to Senor Mel ).
The Real Bully Hoo.
I think you're standing in splendid isolation on the one. The other 24,999 of us are living in cloud cuckoo land.
I think not my friend , you have to understand that the ' cartel ' on here are more often than not totally detached from reality . I will be very suprised if Mel is our manager next season.
The Real Bully Hoo.
Dolally is totally behind him and he's hardly a card carrying member of the party is he?
I invite anybody not regarded as a member of the 'comittee' that doesn't want him to stay to declare themselves on here.
do lallytap
I most certainly DO want Pepe to stay.
We need stability at the club but most importantly we NEED Pepe to stamp his way at the Albion and by that I mean he must bring his backroom staff and players in and the old guard must go.
I know it's not mathematically safe as yet and I am not a betting man but the odds are really in favour for us.
Pepe has said that he has some hard work to do, some hard decisions but this man is no fool.
I have said all along that I want to be entertained and my god the past few matches we have been, I have no finger nails left and some of that attacking play, at times has been breathtaking.
Pepe has had the experience of a few months under his belt, he ain't saft, he knows what is needed and who isn't needed and what needs strengthening and the thought of Pepe going and someone else coming in to start all over again, sorting out the deadwood fills me with dread.
Pepe MUST stay and he MUST start the season with HIS team, not a team which has throwback to that bufoon Clarke, who funny enough didn't set the world alight with his formations, style of play and substitutions.
OK, Pepe will make some mistakes along the way, it's natural but I will say again that the past few months experience will put him in good stead for next season, he has plans, he has ideas, I just hope JP has the gonads to stick with him and not just let him walk away for us to go through all of this over again with a new man at the helm.
Give him a chance, lets get behind him, let his passion come through via the players like it is slowly starting to, lets sort the rubbish out and let him carry on entertaining us with the style of play he is trying and any player who don't want to or are good enough for the ride can go....your time has gone and now it's time to move on WITH Pepe....LETS GET BEHIND HIM....After all The Liquidator is back and it was Pepe who listened to the fans at his forum and the next match it was back.
CantelloRocket 78
Well I'll always listen to other people's views, but I guess I eventually try to make me own judgement-
I think the last time Max gave his verdict on a Spaniard at The Hawthorns was when he said Borja Valero couldn't pass, couldn't head, couldn't shoot, couldn't score, and was a totally useless player-
the lad then went back to Spain where he received rave reviews in La Liga, got called up to the World Cup winning National Team, is now getting glowing reports from Italy, and has recently been linked with a move to either Man.Utd or Barcelona.
So I think I might leave it a bit to decide if Pepe's a fifth-rate amateur or a Latin Brian Clough........
A lot of good that did West Bromwich Albion Football Club . A'int you got Dingles to chase down ?.
CantelloRocket 78
I dunno mate, it could be we ended up makin' a profit on his transfer fees, and learnt something from the experience-
as for the Dings, they seem to be busy celebrating scoring 100 3rd Division goals, which equates to about 20 in the prem.....
CantelloRocket 78
Or is that 100 points, that equates to 20 in the prem.?
They know how to achieve that as well.....:-)
We Only Need One Half!
Alrite me brother, where yo bin?
Bloody hell Max, it was only a £5 bet, cheer up mate (mind you, you haven't heard the forfeit yet ;-)
Brother from another Mother
I a'int going to be Kev's Bull for a starter .
We Only Need One Half!
Hey! a forfeits a forfeit lol
The Real Bully Hoo.
Max as the front end and Mboy as the back end. I'd pay good money to see that. The return of Mad Cow Disease.
Kev in Mallorca
That's mo'boy!!!!
Hope to see ya before the Stoke game, that's if yo ay slit ya wrists by then.
That opening bit is a bit close to Mboy marmate . I hope you have booked into the Betty Ford Clinic.
See ya soon .
Kev in Mallorca
I thought that when I wrote it but his breath smell betta than marn so I knew yode no it was me.
Betty wow except me as I'm ony a week-end drunk, so ony classed as mildly in danger!
Max, we ain't safe yet however, Cardiff can't catch us except by a mathematical miracle and Fulham, Norwich, Sunderland would have to get to 37 points to go above us with our goal difference, meaning all have to win 2 games.
Norwich have Man Utd and Arsenal to play and Sunderland also have to play United I think so whilst its not confirmed I'd be staggered if we were playing Championship football next season.
I said at the start of the season we'd be ok, I've never seen anything this season to make me think different. You said we were doomed a week or so back, you changed your mind yet?
I remember you saying that we would have a good season !!!!!! hardly been that now has it ? . You have not seen anything to think different ???? i can only assume you have had your head in the clouds of love or you a'int seen many games or you really a'int gotta clue what your watching .
IF we stay up , i can only say that we will have got away with blue murder because quite frankly we deserve to go down and IF we stay up much will need to change if we are to survive next season.
Doomed ? probably not but funnier things have happened .
We Only Need One Half!
I dun know Max, we are currently occupying the highest place Wolves ever finished in.
And you try telling them that was a crap season and see what happens!
The teams that finish in the bottom 3 after everyone has played 38 Premier League games will deserve to go down, the league table doesn't lie. If Albion are one of those teams, which I don't believe they will be, we will have deserved to have been relegated, no arguments.
Considering the turmoil off the pitch, this season has been nothing short of miraculous!
I'll admit to being a glass half full sort of person and I make no apologies for that, however, I believe my exact words were 'I believe we will be ok' however I also said that we'd struggle to repeat our 8th place finish of last season.
For the record, I remain unconvinced by Pepe Mel however for the time being, as it looks like he will keep us up barring any major disasters, I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. Dolally said he can only really be judged when he has had a say on who to bring in, both in terms of player signings and backroom staff, and I tend to agree with him on that, if not much else, so we'll watch the close season with interest.
As far as having my head in the clouds of love goes, I did get married on 15th March so you could be right on that, she is a Stoke STH incidentally so they'd better not send us down or my life will be unbearable this summer!!
do lallytap
Well done baggies but my god can you stop putting us through it !!!
Sess was fast, dangerous and a right pain in the butt all afternoon but to me Foster edged it, that one handed save to his bottom right was truly world class and you could see that he wasn't going to let any of them past him so he was my MOTM, he kept us in the game, especially the first half where it could have been much different.
Now....and this is to a certain poster who thinks that saying a player is poor is derogatory....wasn't that MUCH better without Ridgwell and Medway.....that isn't derogatory its actually FACT.....derogatory is where you wish him more injury and if you bothered to read my post on Ridgwell you would have seen it.
I thought Billy Jones was fantastic also and I know Berahino fluffed a couple but I put that down to not being match sharp and I really hope he starts against Arsenal
The fans were great once again and the Liquidator helped, I know a few don't like swearing but as long as I have been going up the Albion swearing has always been there, it's part and parcel of the game, it's when you hear comments like the ones at Everton about Sinclairs Mrs and Len Fairclough that is embarrassing.
Great game, hard fought battle which has done us the world of good and put us in great stead for the Arsenal game where I am really looking forward to it and I do think we can shock them....as long as we don't sit back and try to absorb the pressure, we need to get at them !
DoLall. Derogatory means insulting or disrespectful. I think you have the phrase 'adding insult to injury' mixed up in your head somewhere. What I did notice is,
take out your paragraph on Ridgewell and your post is worth reading.
Now, as a punishment, you must stand in front of a mirror and say:
"I like Liam Ridgewell, he is a brilliant player". 100 times should do it. Whoever witnesses this penance must report back to me on here. Go to it !!!

See the sights of Belfast
Experience arts, culture and world class museums on a Belfast city break.
Experience arts, culture and world class museums on a Belfast city break.
Take a city break to Dublin and see the best the city has to offer.
Take a city break, see the sights of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom's smallest region of 1.7 million people, is compact and universally welcoming, yet diverse. Nowhere is more than a 2-hour drive from anywhere else. Rural tranquility combines with the vibrant friendliness of the cities – Belfast, the capital, and Derry-Londonderry – to create an intriguing British/Irish uniqueness and cultural richness. Taste and hear it in the cuisine (an 'Ulster fry' breakfast or a bowl of champ mash) served to a soundtrack of pipes and fiddles amid local craic (witty banter) in pubs and cafés across the land.
Travel from Belfast along the beautiful Antrim coast to the Giant's Causeway. There you'll encounter the legend of the mythical giant, Finn McCool, at this world heritage site, a geological wonder of basalt columns leading down to the ocean. South of Belfast lies Downpatrick, a shrine to Ireland's patron saint. Visit his grave then continue the coastal route to Newcastle's world-renowned golf links and the towering mountains of Mourne.
History matters; it shouts from the walls. Discover Belfast's backstreet murals during a colourful guided tour of its recent past. Or taste its nightlife in the lanes around the cathedral. Belfast's Titanic Quarter and docks, where the liner was built, resurrects the 1912 disaster in an interactive visitor centre on a scale befitting the tragedy. Or visit the 2013 UK City of Culture, Derry-Londonderry, to walk its ancient walls, scene of 17th century sieges, or cross the Peace Bridge over the winding River Foyle.
Northern Ireland's western counties – Tyrone, Fermanagh and Londonderry – spring quiet surprises. Glenelly Valley, among the lonely, unspoilt peaks of the Sperrin Mountains, brims with rare birdsong and chattering streams. Pan for gold there or head southwest to Fermanagh's loughs to find hundreds of islands replete with a history of pre-Christian occupation, pagan rituals and Viking raids.
If you're hiring a car in the city, you simply must drive the stunning Causeway Coastal Route from Belfast to Derry. This 120-mile route takes in major attractions and outstanding coastal scenery, earning it a well-deserved reputation as 'one of the world's great road journeys'. Highlights include the Giant's Causeway, Dunluce Castle, Glenariff Forest Park and Londonderry. Head off route and discover even more unforgettable views in the surrounding Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Londonderry, also known as Derry, is the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland. It is one of the finest of its kind in Europe, offering a unique experience to visitors. The city's distinctive architecture and striking hilltop setting overlooking the River Foyle makes it a must-visit on trips to Londonderry. Its two road bridges over the river, the Craigavon and Foyle, are iconic structures that act as gateways to this impressive city.
Hire a car in Belfast and visit the magnificent Giant's Causeway on the north east coast of Co Antrim. Shrouded in mystery, this remarkable geological formation on the north east coast is made up of nearly 40,000 basalt columns that stretch out to sea. During your visit, why not stop by the Causeway Hotel for high tea? Or travel by steam train along the coast to the historic town of Bushmills, home to the famous 'Old Bushmills' Distillery.
Discover the timeless charm of Kilkenny City on a day trip from Dublin. Explore the cobbled, pedestrianized streets of this vibrant city. Enjoy a bite to eat at eclectic restaurants or a pint of Guinness at one of the abundant watering holes dotted around Kilkenny. Venture beyond the old-fashioned shop frontages to discover chic boutiques. High on your list of must-visit attractions should be majestic Kilkenny Castle and the beautiful Cathedral Church of St Canice.
A three-hour drive from Dublin takes you to lively Galway City, rich in medieval heritage and with a delightfully bohemian feel. Wander around the historic alleyways of Kirwan's Lane, stopping for refreshment at one of the many cafés and restaurants. Pop into intriguing craft shops offering locally-made knitware, jewellery and ceramics. Take in the famous 16-century Spanish Arch and medieval church of St Nicholas. Then discover more about the city's history at the Galway Museum.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., which is why I wrote a book with the Men's Health Network (MHN) called Breathe Easy: Your Lungs and COPD. And in an effort to help the 12 million Americans who have COPD and the 12 million more whose symptoms remain undiagnosed, MHN partnered with the Association of Black Cardiologists, the Veterans Health Council, and Men's Health Alliance to develop the new, and extremely valuable resource.
"Studies show that every four minutes an individual dies of COPD," said Scott Williams, MHN Senior Vice President. "We could not ignore this fact and had to address such an important health issue. The Breathe Easy publication is designed to educate the public regarding possible COPD symptoms and explains what to do once these symptoms are discovered. We hope that those who read this publication will examine their own situation and take action if needed."
Co-authored by experts in the field of men's health and supported by a grant from Forest Laboratories, "Breathe Easy: Your Lungs and COPD. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease" is filled with important information for men and their families and added to the extensive library of educational materials which MHN has maintained since 1992. You can download a f.r.ee pdf of the book from the Men's Health Network's website. You can order hard copies directly from MHN.
