Default WBA match Pre/Post match discussion

According to Setanta, we have the chance to see the match on Sunday afternoon. Though their schedule was wrong a few weeks ago.

I'm in two minds on this match. Yeah, Town need the 3 points...but I'd rather the Baggies finish above the Budgies.

Come on now, you can't really hate Norwich more than you love the Blues, can you?

We have an outside chance still, and need every point.

With the way the season has gone, I don't see much hope of the Budgies not going up. And to be honest, I'd rather Town spend another season in the 1st before going up. Promotion this season will probably mean Sheepy doesn't spend any money on new players (well, not much anyway) and risk going straight back down if only to insure the financial situation at Portman Road is sorted out. I just want to limit any success they filth have.

A snatch-and-grab win this afternoon, but we'll take it...

Albion will no doubt try their best to beat Naaaarich to the championship, but I'm not sure there's anything at this stage WBA can do to keep them from being promoted.

Best of luck to Town for the rest of the season... for obvious reasons I'd rather see the likes of you or Forest go up as opposed to Sheff. United.

Gutted as I am, it was a great game. I watched it on the Setanta pub channel at Summers in Arlington. Both teams played some great passing football and had an intensity that MLS is sorely lacking.

Some points:

- The was the first Ipswich game I've been able to see this year. Basically we had youth team out there. Bowditch, Westlake, Richards, etc. have all done great, but it's so sad that they weren't able to gradually folded into the team. Ipswich are still in a shambles off the field.

Both teams got a little lucky at times. Koumas' free kick was great; but that wasn't a foul to earn it! And who is that dude with the bald head and beard? He dived, drew a foul, and was laughing at the ref!

And what's the word on the steet in Baggiedom on him? Seemed like a nasty fella to me. (Mind you he's exacly what Ipswich seem to need.) Y'all like him? Or is he going to jail?

Hughesie is the Prodigal Son, to use a religious reference. He was "Judas" when he left us for Coventry before our promotion season, but he's back now. He wasn't doing well for us in the Premiership last year, but he's without doubt one of the reasons Albion are on the verge of bouncing back up this season.

As for the alleged drunk driving/accidental death incident in Coventry, I've heard different messages from different sources about whether he will be going to jail or not. From what I have read, however, it seems that he is in some way responsible. If he is found guilty - whether he is put in prison or not - it might be difficult (from a public relations perspective) for any club to have Hughes on their books.
