	West Bromwich Albion Football Club
		West Bromwich Albion Football Club is an English football club formed by workers from Salter's Spring Works in West Bromwich, West Midlands in 1878.
		A former Albion player, he had just coached Arsenal FC to their league and cup double and was regarded as one of the games foremost theoreticians.
		Though West Brom were still a leading team in the top flight of English football, they failed to attract the sort of managerial talent that would have taken them forward.

	BBC - Birmingham Sport - West Bromwich Albion Football Club History
		West Bromwich Albion are one of the oldest and proudest names in English football, and one of a select group of clubs to have won all three major domestic honours.
		WBA were Division 1 Champions in 1919-20, 1901-02 and 1910-11.
		The situation was to worsen – as gates declined, Albion slipped still further, being humiliated 4-2 at home by non-league Woking in the FA Cup in 1991 and ending the season being relegated to Division Three for the first time in the club’s history.

		But Albion grabbed their seventh minute lead out of nothing when Koumas - by far the Baggies' most creative influence - latched on to a misplaced pass from Rio Ferdinand and bore down on the United goal before unleashing a right-foot shot which beat Fabien Barthez on his right-hand post.
		Albion went on to enjoy arguably their best spell of the game but they failed to make a breakthrough and were inevitably punished for it.
		Albion boss Gary Megson admitted the massive gulf in class told on his team in the end, but blasted his defence for letting their valuable lead slip inside a minute.

		West Brom: Miller, McDermott, Dobson (Evans 76), Sneekes, Burgess, Mardon, Butler, Hamilton, Taylor (Hughes 45), Hunt, Kilbane (Smith 68).
		No idea how WBA played as an attacking force in the second half, but thankfully Dalts regained the touch lacking vs Norwich and turned their full back inside out for the first goal and then relieved the pressure with a great second.
		Town were resilient West Brom were very poor.

		Albion sold 2,000 of their allotted 3,000 places but many of their fans missed the kickoff due to traffic problems on the A1 in Yorkshire.
		His pace was never going to take him clear of the Albion defence but he rendered them utterly useless by cutting inside and across the box and then grazed the far post with Hoult well beaten.
		All Albion had to do was sit tight and soak up the pressure which they were doing with ever increasing ease and take us to penalties, which the whole football world must know by now we never win.

		If Albion continue the very poor form we've seen since the final weeks of Gary Megson's tenure as manager, there will be little chance for us to make history.
		Albion must improve when the transfer window opens in a week's time.
		I've seen us in some bad times like losing at Hartlepool, throwing away two goal leads at Exeter and Wycombe, losing to Woking, the list is endless and no disrespect but we should never in a million years be in the same league as them, i know that sounds arrogant.

		For a team whose recent success has been founded almost entirely on parsimonious defence, West Bromwich Albion find themselves in a position of some difficulty.
		As Megson pointed out, there is little chance of winning 1-0 without scoring first and West Brom will rarely have a better chance than on Saturday.

		They look solid bets for a playoff place, but manager Gary Megson must be concerned about the lack of chances they created with the abundant possession won by their snapping midfielders.
		Larus Sigurdsson almost surprised Nik Michopoulos in the Burnley goal with a cross that threatened to drift under the bar, but the best chance fell to Dobie.

		Not that the chaps should be blamed of course given the considerable uncertainties around the subject – but, like vitually everyone else WBA will be convinced that the true value of the playing staff is thus hidden.
		The other point of investment interest surrounded the attempt of Mr.Paul Thompson, a major shareholder, to oust the Chairman – who holds only slightly less equity - an initiative which at least partly succeeded when the latter eventually stepped down as Chairman in December 1999, although still remaining a director.
		But stranger things have happened of course, and the recruitment of a well respected and experienced manager is a start.

		I'm sure everyone who hasn’t completed the 92 yet, has at least one ground that by now they really should have gone to, be it for the amount of times you’ve played a team, rivalry, or it being nearby.
		For me that ground is The Hawthorns, home of West Bromwich Albion.
		With Wolves and Albion missing each other through relegation and promotion for both teams, it hasn’t been possible to get it on the list for the past few years, so a neutral visit may be in order at some time in the future.
