My West Brom Story

Nothing special, just a little update on my West Brom story status, quick thoughts on Maja, Grant etc, and whether I took the Early Bird option.

Well it's a shame we couldn't end it with a win, but let's just forget 2025/26 season ever happened, draw a line under it and hit the refresh button in the summer. Hear my Sheffield Wednesday review, player ratings for the season, favourite game and more as I bring another West Brom campaign in my life to a close.

We’ve done it! At last we can now say we are mathematically safe and will be playing in the Championship again next season. It’s been a hard slog especially at times, but we are over the line and that’s all that matters. Hear me and Dad with our pre-Baggies chat. Uncle Roy remembers an Ipswich memory, plus the usual in-game reports on how it happened.

Well that’s it we are safe now. Oh no hang on we might not be? It’s all a complete chaotic mess off the pitch isn’t it with this possible pending points deduction. However, what certainly is not chaotic is our performances on the pitch! Another brilliant display 3 goals and a clean- sheet. Mozza for Albion! That’s all I can say. Hear the goal reports from the Watford win, a Baggies chat with Dad (...

I think so! Another stalemate, but it’s now 4 clean sheets out of the last 5. What a transition compared to what we had been witnessing under the previous regime. The mini Tony Pulis effect really is taking its toll now isn’t it. You can see organisation, structure, game plans for each game and most of all looking solid at the back. Hear my pre-match, in-game and Baggies chat as we make yet anothe...

Well it’s fair to say it wasn’t a classic was it? But, if you can’t win it don’t lose it. Unbeaten in 6 under Mozza and 4 points above the dreaded drop, I’d have snatched your arm off for that after the Oxford game. Hear my pre Baggies chat with Dad and then my Australian family all have a quick say on all things Albion, along with the usual in-game review away at Blackburn.

Of course it’s disappointing to throw away a 2-0 lead in any game, but I always thought Wrexham were going to be a tough nut to crack. So in hindsight it’s not a bad result and it keeps us 4 points out of danger for now. But, it’s not all about the game in this episode as the Brookes family get treated to a nice surprise!

I love producing my season reviews and going back on those wonderful memories that I have made following my beloved Baggies! So, with the international break in full swing, and no Albion men’s senior football. Here is the latest one for you to sit back and enjoy. It includes a radio interview, a competition which changed my life, a wedding. Plus, could I turn a Man Utd fan into a Baggie and more.

Finally the monkey is off our back in terms of that elusive away win! I could get used to these weekends again 😊and what a way to give us a send off ahead of the international break. Beaming with positively - I give my usual thoughts on the Bristol City win and throw in some Baggies chat and memories. 💚💛

Awesome, outstanding, throughly entertaining. I could go on! Three smiles, three goals and three points! This is an Albion side I can get used to watching. From the off we were up and at them and hardly gave Hull a moments peace. Without doubt the best performance of the season and a clean-sheet to boot - lovely!!! Hear a second goal mistake, that Blackburn away game memory plus the usual in-game,...

The performance, spirit and fight was there again, and that does give me a glimmer of hope, but in truth we are clinging on now aren’t we? That’s how it feels after that gut wrenching last gasp equaliser. Not finishing teams off, not getting that 2nd killer goal, it’s happened far too often hasn’t it? As always hear the pre-match, in-game chat and commentary as we once again fly up and down with e...

Wow what a week or so a change can make in football eh? I feared the worst after last weekend, but to go there and show grit, determination and most importantly fight to earn that draw really was impressive! Hear me re-live that George Campbell strike, reminisce a time to forget at Bramall Lane and give my review on that well earned point at Sheffield United. 😊💚💛

A brilliant day for my lad who was one of the mascots for the game. Sadly the special day could not be matched with yet another lacklustre performance. I tick off a new ground - hear how many my total has got up to now! Could be more next season though the way it’s going!😬 Mom, Dad and the other mascot’s Grandma chip in with their Albion thoughts, plus more!

So all change once again then. Ramsey has gone and I give my brief thoughts at the start. Hear me and Dad as we take a walk down memory lane playing Charlton, as well as throwing him a little quiz question! The usual pre-game, in-game and after game thoughts as it happened.

I’m just extremely thankful Leicester have been deducted those points that’s all I can say, because oh my word we would be in a mess! Well we are anyway, but the table would look a damn sight worse that’s for sure. Yet another turgid performance with not many positives, but I did manage to find one, whilst Dad also has his say at the game.

Well I must admit I expected it to be a challenge against the flying Canaries, but it’s yet another damaging defeat with more questions than answers. On the positive - an away day family game is revealed as birthday and valentines all come together- plus of course my Norwich review.

Another clean-sheet, another spirited performance! At least there’s no ‘Brookes’ divide this time around either. The points are shared, but of course as is always the case there was one side of the family happier than the other. 😉 Hear my son and daughter’s pre-match prediction, along with my usual brief review on the game.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn’t it? A point and a clean-sheet normally isn’t that bad and maybe it isn’t as at least we didn’t lose. But, I can’t help thinking that was a big missed opportunity. Stoke were there for the taking and we didn’t do enough! Dad ‘s back from his break! Hear his thoughts amongst a couple of others as well as the usual in-game, pre-game and post-game discussion.

Forget the Pompey chimes, this is West Bromwich Albion in full decline! What another miserable away day, performance and result. This really is turning out to be a season in turmoil isn’t it. No fight, no desire,.no passion - I could go on! I do find a couple of positives, such as WBA Women! But, in the main it’s my feelings after another abject display.

That’s better isn’t it? The unwanted record breaking stops here now hopefully. About time we had some luck go our way - especially on the road. How crucial may that point be come the end of the season I don’t know. As ugly as it may have been we’ve grounded out a result and at the end of the day that’s what will keep us up - results not performances! Hear my view on the game, how I broke a persona...

Wow did I not see that coming? Did any of us see that coming? Even I cannot take any positives out of that apart from meeting George Kirk of West Brom Fan TV. Starting off with usual Albion chit-chat and then in-game views of not just me , but others.

Well Eric Ramsey’s in-game management almost got us off the hook didn’t it? So, there’s something different from the Mason era straight away. Almost a complete heroic comeback, but too much respect early on gifted the result for me. Hear me touch on WBA Women, the Albion goals as they happened, and explain why I’m definitely not Steve Hermon and more!

Doesn’t matter how they come does it? A win is a win and through to the FA Cup Fourth Round! Hear my usual thoughts on the game and little bit about the new boss we now have at B71. Exciting times? Let’s hope so! 💙🤍

Outfoxed again! 🙄Pardon the pun - I remember Leicester doing this to us when we played so well at their place under Corberan a couple of seasons ago. They should never have won that one either! But, this is a results business and now Ryan Mason has gone, maybe we can start to look forward. 🤞 Hear my Leicester review, brief Head Coach thoughts, messages from some lovely listeners and more!

Another away defeat. When does it stop? Another mistake for their goal, when does it stop? It’s so puzzling and frustrating isn’t it. We deserved something again on the road, but once again came home with nothing. Hear my view on the game, a post-Xmas wish for Bilkul, our horrendous New Year’s Day record and more.
