The Hawthorns

Burnley deny the win at Queens Park Rangers.

Uh, Max Bird on target for Birmingham in a 3-0 win over Millwall and the points shared at The Hawthorns.

Uh, this is what it all means for the Championship table.

Middlesbrough still top.

And we start with West Brom, which is on Tuesday, the 3rd of November.

That's at the Hawthorns and that's 8 o'clock kickoff live on Sky Sports.

Strong start to the season for them firmly in the playoff conversation.

One point ahead of us in fourth, of course.

So teams that they shouldn't necessarily be beating.

But yeah, so right up in that conversation with us, of course.

Interesting fact, did you know that they've had the Hawthorns as their home since 1900? I do know.

Yeah, and it sits 551 feet above sea level.

But the issue is the lack of humility.

that follows from it the kind of the arrogance the let's let's share it on a podcast and have a laugh about it no no you know bo is my hill is still at the club i've no reason to believe bo is my hill is anything other than a a really solid proper professional you know i don't i don't wish him any ill but gareth barry doesn't ever return to the hawthorns in any capacity it'll be too soon if that makes sense Anyway, just talking about this team, I just wanted to say, Chris, we'll go to the trivia in a second, but I just think you look at it and you think we had that incredible resilience to beat Derby County when Pereira was sent off earlier this season on his debut.

We still won that game.

That was a triumph of grit and determination and team bonding.

there.

Any time we were going to go to the Hawthorns and beat them, it was going to be that time, and we did.

Which, I know, yeah, it's a case of, oh, well done, you beat a middling championship team.

But we still beat them.

It was cool, but it's like...

Kunya did it because he points at the badge and we own the

Hawthorns.

It didn't really

Only one defeat in their last six.

That was at the Hawthorns where West Brom needed two in the last 20 minutes to win.

arm in the air there from always a difficult place to go the Hawthorns they do that well it's

because it's so above sea level that's why isn't it it's just up here isn't it yeah

I get nowhere glad I never have to go glad I'll never ever have to go back there ever again excellent

But Brian there talking about Sam Bartram.

My first game I ever saw at the Hawthorns was against Charlton Athletic and Sam Bartram was in goal.

And that was about 1955.

It would be 55, 56, something like that.

put the arrest in to book arrest if I find out why and also something on here about

Willie Johnston wearing a kilt

the Hawthorns are no stranger to you when you were doing your photography work how different was it for you actually being on the touchline compared to being on the terraces

well it was a completely different thing wasn't it being on the touchline was a job you know on the terraces you're just watching the game

They've had four draws in a row.

But those have been against like West Brom at the Hawthorns and West Ham at the London Stadium.

And they're out at the Carabao Cup as well, so they can concentrate on the league.

They lost in the first round against Millwall in a shootout.

Yeah, okay.

So next week then we will recap the QPR game and we'll preview two games on the road.

A Tuesday night trip to the Hawthorns followed by Saturday afternoon jolly at Preston.
