It feels like that response was partly because the players are scared of Ismael, which, if you ask me, is a good thing

I’ve never seen him play but we’re missing Matt Clarke

Looks like we’re going to be a frenetic team in a frenetic league. It may not always work, but it’ll probably be entertaining

David Button turning back the years here just like his brother Benjamin.

All our CBs are going to score double figures this season 😂

This is, objectively, hilarious. We look like scoring every time the ball goes out of play.

4-0 and not only could it have been more, you feel we could also play better. So much to like about this team. Mowatt is a proper midfielder, Clarke is a menace in both boxes, and the workrate is outstanding. Absolute bullies.

Sorry everyone, the Baggies are at it again 💁‍♂️

Thought our plans missed the physicality of Clarke and Bartley, but there’s nothing like a last minute winner. Let’s be honest, the season couldn’t have started any better.

Darren Ferguson on Valerien Ismael: “He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!”

I’m ok with that. Poor first half but battered them second half while actually playing some football. Roos was motm. Reach was useful but the most important thing is that Diangana is back. His best performance for 12 months. #wba

Mowatt Is too good for the league

Pah, that Messi goal isn’t even the best long-range left-footed goal by a player whose surname begins with M that was scored tonight

Taming of the Shrewsbury? Russell Youll Derek Bish Nick Elwell

Pitch invasions, floodlight failures, pitchside pints and gobby shites. What a game Stratford Town 3-2 Boston United was. FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round. Big non-league games are always the best games.

It’s only a small thing but I loved chatting to Nigel at games because we’d talk about Albion like two fans in the pub before going back to our respected professions. The many tributes from across sport highlight what great company he was, someone you’d seek out in the press box.

Had a great time watching a 1-1 thrashing tonight. Roll on the season.

“The most illegal goal of all time” sounds cool af though
