I don't know what they gave the Baggies at halftime, but I bet Mick McCarthy wishes they didn't.
With the score tied 1-1 at half, WBA came out and crushed it. Like, 4 goals in a 24 minute span,
crushed it. Mick, your Kit Kat bar is in the mail. Just so you can, you know, "get away"...Video:

After Blackburn got their very own Olsson twins yesterday, we look at the best of twin team-mates
to grace English football. 1. Rafael and Fabio Da Silva Arguably English football's top-achieving
twins to date, in tag team terms. Unlike some sets of footballing twins, the talent seems to be
fairly equal between the pair.

Stoke City 1-2 West Bromwich Albion Premier League 21st January 2012
West Brom secured a vital three points away at a blustery Britannia against a Stoke side who
never really got into their stride.

West Bromwich Albion 1-2 Norwich City Premier League 14th January 2012
What a superb season Norwich City, newly-promoted to the top tier, are having. Finding
themselves in ninth-place, only eight points off a European place, Paul Lambert and co.
So ‘Arry reckons he might get a bit bored managing England:
‘I enjoy the day-to-day coming in to work with players, said the media-introvert on
Radio 4 this week- going out on the training pitch every day, seeing the players.
I don't know if seeing players once every six or seven weeks.
There are injury concerns over Scott Parker ahead of tonight's match with the Baggies but our
midfield general is just one of a host of players that Harry may take a chance on this evening.
It's thought that both Ledley King and Aaron Lennon are in with a chance of returning to the side
tonight as Harry looks to put a bit of impetus back into Spurs' league campaign.
Late goals were the order of the day in England, most notably at Sunderland where Ji Dong-won's
last-gasp winner earned the home side a surprise 1-0 victory over leaders Manchester City.
Roberto Mancini's side had aspirations of fully capitalising on Manchester United's loss to
Blackburn Rovers 24 hours earlier, to establish a three-point lead at the Premier League
summit.
With all the furore over Luis Suarez getting another ban, Liverpool getting a £20,000 fine over
Jay Spearing getting sent off and all the dismal draws instead of wins as we slide down the table,
it is the same old story with Liverpool FC, failure to beat lower league opposition, failure to
stay in touch with the Manchester teams and now Tottenham Hotspur.
According to The Daily Mail, Liverpool are allegedly interested in signing Dundee United and
Scottish under-21 midfielder Scot Allen The Mail's article, which doesn't have any quotes or
credible sources, states:"Sportsmail can reveal that Kenny Dalglish hopes to fend off competition
from the Ibrox side, Celtic and West Brom for the Scotland Under-21 cap.

Blackburn Rovers 1-2 West Bromwich Albion Premier League 17th December 2011
The Venky's support for Steve Kean has shown little sign of weakening this season, at least from
the outside. However, behind the doors of the boardroom at Ewood Park, the Indian chicken overlords
must surely be concerned after yet another league defeat for Blackburn.

West Bromwich Albion 1-2 Wigan Athletic Premier League 10th December 2011
Roberto Martinez and his Wigan side made it seven points from their last four Premier League
games after coming from behind to win at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
Arsenal 3-0 West Brom
No perching on the edge of the seat, nails bitten to the quick or hearts a-racing. No early goal
for the visitors. No visions of wildebeests surrounded by lions at set pieces. No clinging on to a
slim lead for dear life as the clock approaches 90 minutes.
3 Goals. 3 Points. A Clean Sheet. Should make the upcoming fortnight very pleasant for Gooners
around the world.
Arsene's team selection was very much along the expected lines. Indeed, Le Boss mentioned that
the reason for picking Koscielny and Vermaelen in the defence was to counter the anticipated pace
threat of Odemwinge.

Arsenal 3-0 West Bromwich Albion Premier League November 5th 2011
After an appalling start to the new campaign, the Gunners now find themselves just four points
off fourth place, as the new signings bed in and the likes of Laurent Koscielny and Aaron Ramsey
start to look like the real deal.
A nice, routine win. Haven't seen those in a while.
Coming into this game, there was a feeling of dread among many of the fans, particularly on
Twitter. As I mentioned on the preview, the stage was set for Arsenal to have another meltdown and
erase all of their good work leading up to today by losing this one.
There is a mini-trend that Arsenal just have to curb. The Gunners have gone into the previous
two international breaks on the back of defeats United and Spurs that have made the fortnight
unbearable. It will be nice to have a positive feeling during the upcoming disruption. That means
only a win will be the acceptable result at the Emirates against the Baggies.

Newcastle United vs Everton from St. James' Park, Newcastle
Credit must be given to Alan Pardew and his back room staff at Newcastle United for the tremendous
season they're having. Quietly gone about their business, the magpies currently sit third after
their win at Stoke on Monday night.
Premier League Weekend Review: Easy games for Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd & Liverpool - originally
posted on Soccerlens.com
The big clubs of England play the minnows this weekend with odds largely in favor of the giants
formerly known as the 'top 4′. Here's a look at the betting situation heading into the Matchday
11 of the English Premier League.
West Bromwich Albion marked the first time that Jamie Carragher hasn't started at centre half
this season, and with it came the first chance in ages to see Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger paired
at the back. The long-delayed partnership, one many assumed Rafa Benitez intended to use as the
replacement for Hyypia and Carragher before a series of injuries made it nearly impossible to
imagine, put in an almost flawless performance.
It's Monday, which means you probably don't need an excuse to get your drink on. But just in
case you do, that's a current picture of Steven Gerrard there on the right. We're pretty sure it's
not a Halloween costume. But more on that in a little bit...

Andy Carroll believes his double act with Luis Suarez is starting to click as he hailed his
Liverpool strike partner as the best in the Premier League.
The Reds' record signing is targeting an extended run in Kenny Dalglish's side after netting his
third goal of the season in Saturday's 2-0 victory at West Brom.
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has admitted he was encouraged by his side's team spirit as they
disposed of West Brom 2-0 to extend their unbeaten run to seven games.
Dalglish spent the summer remoulding the core of his side, making seven signings as he attempts to
put together a team capable of challenging for qualification to the Champions League.

Both parties would probably prefer to move on from the past, but there will be an inevitable degree
of focus upon another Roy Hodgson reunion with Liverpool at West Brom on Saturday evening.
It has been almost nine months since the 64-year-old was sacked at Anfield following a woefully
unsuccessful half-a-year in charge of the five-time kings of Europe and much has changed in that
time.
West Brom manager Roy Hodgson admits his side is underdogs against his former club Liverpool on
Saturday.
The Baggies are unbeaten in their last four games and picked up a good win on the road to Aston
Villas last weekend.
Despite playing in front of a home crowd at the Hawthorns, the 64-year old is weary of the threat
from the Reds.
Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel could both notch up a century of league appearances for Liverpool if
they feature in Saturday's trip to West Brom.
Here are the rest of the facts and stats:
The Reds have drawn the last two league games (Manchester United and Norwich). The last time they
shared the spoils in three successive matches was in January 2009 while the last trio of
consecutive 1-1 league draws for Liverpool came in December 1988.
The thing which everybody forgot was that it was hardly a great Arsenal side which challenged so
strongly until March last season.
Tears were spilt on deadline day 2010 over a refusal to buy a veteran keeper; the centre half whom
everyone insisted we signed turned out to be not much cop; the side as a whole was very dependent
on Marouane Chamakh and Samir Nasri in the first half of the season, Robin van Persie in the New
Year.

Aston Villa 1-2 West Bromwich Albion Premier League 22 October 2011
They may have benefited from an extremely harsh red card given to Villa's Chris Herd for a
rather innocuous-looking tangle with Martin Olsson, but West Brom fully deserved their victory
against their local rivals.
About two weeks ago Roy Hodgson said that West Bromwich Albion's deal for Shane Long was
"potentially the bargain of the season." Shane Long moved from Reading in the Championship to the
Baggies for a fee of £4.5 million (potentially ...

Sunderland 2-2 West Bromwich Albion Premier League 1st October 2011
The Baggies were two goals up after just five minutes of play at the Stadium of Light, courtesy
of goals from James Morrison and Shane Long. However, Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner, on a season-long
loan, hauled the Black Cats back into the game, scoring one and setting up Ahmed Elmohamady for the
equaliser.
Last weekend was a superb one for Swansea City fans as the club finally secured their first win
in the Premiership, scoring their first goals and securing their first ‘sell out' of the season
as the crowd finally hit the 20,000 mark.
It's been an anxious time for all at the Liberty Stadium but fans can now breathe a huge sigh of
relief with the vital three points propelling Brendan Rogers's side into fourteenth position and,
after an impressive win on Saturday, pundits may be re-evaluating their views of Swansea as one of
the ‘whipping boys' of the league.
Lost amid all the debates and media coverage about the respective merits of David De Gea and
Anders Lindegaard, Tomasz Kuszczak silently fades into oblivion and obscurity, left out in the cold
by Alex Ferguson and stranded at Old Trafford with his only football coming on the Carrington
training ground and in meaningless reserve matches.

Brendan Rogers' Swansea City side play attractive football, but before yesterday, they had
failed to make that positivie play count in the top tier.
However, against the Baggies, the Swans cantered to a 3-0 victory, courtesy of their first three
goals of the new campaign.
By Alan Duffy
West Brom's Nigerian striker, with hair bleached blonde, failed to score in the Baggies' dismal
3-0 defeat at the hands of Premier League new-boys, Swansea City.
US dancefloor diva Ultra Naté hasn't scored a big (pop) hit of her own since the late
nineties.
At first look, West Brom's lone win after their first four Premier League encounters may, to the
untrained eye, be symptomatic of the struggles they have endured in past seasons as a "yo-yo" club,
shuffling between second-tier triumphs and top-flight relegations.
But the performances put in by Roy Hodgson's side suggest more than the three points out of a
possible fourteen, which sees the Baggies lie 13th currently.
