Jesus J, who is this co commentator?

Unbearable!

Andy Hinchcliffe. Unbearable.

[El Lobo]

That Jay Rodriguez looks good for West Brom, could be excellent when he’s a bit older

[thegoodfella]

Hope Aston Villa and Sunderland stay where they are.

[Yorkykopite]

Why do I always want Aston Villa to fuck up? I've no idea. They've always been pretty harmless. I don't have any enemies, or friends, in Birmingham. It's hard to get worked up against a team that has "Failure" inscribed on its club crest - admittedly rendered into Latin. But I do.

[BrandoLFC]

Always thought Iheanacho would be the better of the two between Abraham and him.  Looks like that's not a correct assumption.  Chelsea should give him a chance next year.

[Crosby Nick]

It's not the normal Championship co-commentator Andy Hinchcliffe is it?

Has he said how he’d have kicked the ball better, harder and faster into the back of the net yet? If so, it’s probably him.

[Yosser0_0]

What...Rex the Runt plays for West Bromwich Albion? 



Oh sorry, it's Chris Brunt, must have misheard that one. As you were. 

[CanuckYNWA]

God i dont want to see WBA in the Premier League as they are just a bunch of fucking yard dogs these are.

[cdav]

Andy Hinchcliffe. Unbearable.

Spent the past 15 minutes bemoaning Villa not lumping it long.

Just whinges all the time- should have done this, should do that. Zero insight from a player who was shite

[Caligula?]

Brunt sent off, you have to fancy Villa now.

[RobbieRedman]

Daft challenge, ref has only responded to Villa reaction though.

Albion down to ten men again

[WhereAngelsPlay]

What a plonker.

[CanuckYNWA]

God i dont want to see WBA in the Premier League as they are just a bunch of fucking yard dogs these are.

Brunt off, yard dogs.

Hope lays in Leeds hands to get past Derby and beat either of these. No chance Derby could beat them as they are hopeless

[I've been a good boy]

Do away goals count in this? I'd rather take Villa than WBA, they're so dull.

[Caligula?]

They don't.

[Bobinhood]

Big mistake that. See what happens. Not really in love with either team

[Caligula?]

That's Dwight Gayle and Brunt who will miss the final if West Brom make it through. Leeds will be praying they do.

[Yosser0_0]

Brunt sent off, you have to fancy Villa now.

[Lush is the best medicine...]

Fantastic save there

[Bobinhood]

that goalies only 5 foot tall!

[RobbieRedman]

Do Villa have three coaches or what?

[Yorkykopite]

that goalies only 5 foot tall!

Laurie Sivell of Ipswich was only 4 foot 6.

[Bobinhood]

Do Villa have three coaches or what?

One of thems the brains, one of thems the heart, and Terry's the penis.

[BrandoLFC]

Getting rid of away goals is kind of lame but would rather Aston Villa progress than WBA.  Pulis is gone but it's as if he's still there in spirit.  Just an awful team.

[oojason]

Craig Dawson goal for WBA on 29 mins - https://streamable.com/shc1r & https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x78bsqf

Brunt 2nd yellow card on 79 mins - https://streamable.com/rfmz7

Brilliant save from gk Sam Johnstone (West Brom) on 87 mins - https://twitter.com/Sparta_GK/status/1128403172609937415

[Bobinhood]

Gibbs trys to beat a man, fails miserably, ball ricochets up hits him square in the face.

good to see not much has changed.

I think, in playoffs the team who finished higher should get the advantage if the tie ends in a draw on aggregate, daft the only advantage to the team who finished higher is the 2nd leg at home

Watching that Dawson goal gave me flashbacks to Pulis's West Brom bombarding us.  Klopp getting the players to celebrate with the fans after Origi rescued a point against them - and getting (wrongly) ridiculed for doing so - seems a long, long time ago.

[dudleyred]

Grealish worth a punt at the right price I think

[Caligula?]

Grealish worth a punt at the right price I think

If you aspire to play Europa League football one day

[Statto Red]

Grealish worth a punt at the right price I think

Type of player Everton would end up buying, then there fans claiming he's the next Messi.

[CanuckYNWA]

Fuck no - overrated as fuck. Why spunk money on him when we have Harry Wilson, very similar players and neither are good enough for what we are aiming for now.

People have been stuck with mediocrity for so long that they cant handle we are past that now it seems!

Yes maybe haha

Spurs were on the brink last year of signing him

I see more from him in the championship than I did in brooks or Maddison when they were there

Don’t necessarily mean for us I must add but think he’d do a good job and develop in the right team

[Mr F]

Christ, that guy on the tannoy needs to fuck off

[CanuckYNWA]

Hes just a flashy player so catches peoples eyes but I think he will massively struggle in the premier league with way less space and more aggressive teams.

[Bobinhood]

I still think they should go with extra time but: Golden Goal, take 1 player off both sides every 5 mins. That way 30 mins in your down to 5 on 5 on a big pitch, the goal will come. The comic value alone.

[Caligula?]

'Could it be the last 15 minutes of the season for one of these teams'

Um yeah, no shit Sherlock

[dudleyred]

You’ve gone from a “fuck no”  to “I think he’d struggle” in a minute flat there

You’ll be buying him soon

I do like the way he doesn’t shy away from the ball which a lot  of over hyped players do

A Bournemouth type or Leicester type I think he’d develop

[RobbieRedman]

One of thems the brains, one of thems the heart, and Terry's the penis.

[RobbieRedman]

Think Grealish is ok, in the same way Maddison for Leciester is.

Neither should be anywhere near our squad. Better suited to a Everton or Spurs team
