@chrisw333 @SkySportsNews Laughing??? We sold our best players for peanuts and have been done for giving money to charity, breaking a rule that was implemented retrospectively. It's not funny

Baggies 💙

A supporter’s step son sadly passed away on Monday. The club have kindly invited the family to Tuesday’s game, with his brothers on the pitch pre-KO.

Please join in a minute’s applause on 13 mins to honour him.

Do your thing Baggies 💙 RT and share 🙏

@jdgwright @SkyCricket I loved watching Tom's development, shame we had to sell him, but that is football now. We will still have fun at the cricket, though the Australian side of my family are starting to feel sorry for me and that is worse than anything!

[David Weighell @DWeighell]

@jdgwright @SkyCricket I care mate! Here in Melbourne ready for the the 4th test. I care very much indeed.

I’ve been to a lot of protests over the years — across different sides of the political spectrum.
I’ve also been to far more music festivals and gigs than I can count, covering every genre you can imagine.

I’ve stood in crowds watching some of the most deliberately provocative bands around — death metal, doomcore, black metal, grindcore — whose entire thing is to shock the audience.

And yet, not once, not once, have I ever been asked to chant “death to” anyone. Not at a protest, not at a gig, not even as some twisted bit of irony.

If it had happened, I’d have walked away. I’d have been genuinely freaked out. Because there’s something deeply sinister about that. There’s a line between protest and hate — and when people start chanting for death, that line isn’t just crossed, it’s obliterated.

That’s why what happened at Glastonbury this year has left me chilled. British people, on British soil, waving foreign flags while chanting “death to…” — it doesn’t matter who the target is, it’s unacceptable.

How did we get to this point? How did that become normal at a supposedly progressive, peace-loving music festival?

And what makes it even more grotesque is that many of the people doing this are the same ones who spend the rest of the year lecturing everyone else to “be kind.” They’re the ones banging on about inclusivity, about tolerance — and yet the moment a woman stands up to defend her sex-based rights, they’re the first to call her a bigot, a fascist, a TERF. The hypocrisy is staggering.

It’s not inclusive to chant for the death of others. It’s not kind to silence and vilify women for speaking about their own lives. It’s not progressive to foster a climate where hate is rebranded as virtue, and rage is mistaken for justice.

I don’t know where we go from here. But I do know this: this kind of extremism needs challenging. It needs calling out.

Because if you find yourself in a crowd chanting for death, and you’re still convinced you’re on the side of good — then it’s time to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

@le_lebouf76 Love your passion mate! WE are Albion, the fans are the constant, everything else is temporary. Onwards and hopefully upwards. Up the Baggies!

[David Weighell @DWeighell]

@Benhadlington1 Totally winding me up. One reason being we all knew Dike should start.

[David Weighell @DWeighell]

None of us could be happier!

[West Bromwich Albion @WBA]

Could not be happier for this man. 🥰

@TheLiquidatorP1 it just looks like the "team" is thrown onto the pitch with very little direction, no plan for set-pieces and that is down to the management. Some of the players are just too comfortable.

[David Weighell @DWeighell]

@Ryan91823 The best league in the World.

[David Weighell @DWeighell]

In all my years of watching the Albion I am trying to remember such a disorganised, dysfunctional, disinterested "team". No plan. No leaders. No desire. Lots of people said no thanks and stayed at home. It must send a message to the board.

[David Weighell @DWeighell]

@le_lebouf76 Jase your blog on Saturday spoke for us all mate. Can't get the image out of my head, Mowatt eating from dawn til dusk 🤣 Hope they don't let us down again, but especially for you.

[David Weighell @DWeighell]

Not really sure what to expect at the Albion today. Hoping for a reaction to Friday and a positive, attacking performance but....
One thing is sure, I will enjoy being back with my football family #wba
