Morning all - Krump sorted me out with a ticket for tomorrows game - I wondered if anyone else is going? I'm gonna head up to Brum a little early and chill in a pub fairly close to the ground I reckon. Anyone got any thoughts on pre match meet ups? If not no worries. I was looking at this for info and it says there are no decent pubs near the ground. http://www.footballgroundguide.com/west_bromwich_albion/

Will probably head here - http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/54/5468/Vine/West_Bromwich

Oh and my score prediction is Carroll to score twice. - 0-2 8)
 
Don't take a lift from a trucker what ever you do.

Spion and Peterhague are going I think.

There are no pubs for away fans that are particularly close to the ground. Huw Morris, a West Brom fan, recommends 'The Vine' which is about a 15-20 minute walk from the ground. From Junction 1 of the M5 turn left towards West Bromwich town centre (opposite direction to the ground). Take the first left into Roebuck Street. The Vine is down on the left. You can also street park in this area and walk to the ground. This pub also does Indian food and has an indoor tandoori barbeque (from 1pm on Saturdays), plus has a beer garden with children's play area. Barbara Osborne a visiting Newcastle United fan adds; 'The Vine from the outside looked like any small corner boozer, but inside it was quite large and it was fairly easy to get served. It had a good mix of home and away fans.'

Dave Wilson recommends; 'The Park Hotel which is just off junction one of the M5 and a 10 minute walk to the ground. You can park on their car park for £5 and away fans are always welcome. There are plenty of families who meet in here before games and it is a very safe environment. There is also plenty of street parking in and around the area of the hotel if you don't want to pay the £5.'

Sean Mowat a visiting Sheffield United supporter adds; 'As you pass the ground on the right on the main Birmingham Road. Carry on about another half a mile and there is a pub on the right set back off the road called the Royal Oak. We've been in the last two times we've visited WBA. The beer is okay and they also serve Asian food (try the chicken kebabs!). It had a friendly atmosphere'.

Alcohol is also available within the ground, albeit in cans.

Suarez is according to Kenny a doubt for the game tomorrow. Fack!

Not good. But we must be able to beat the likes of WBA even without our talismanic striker do we want to compete for the title.

Step up Carroll btw.
 
I think Kenny is letting the world know that Suarez really does get kicked about. He'll play, and start too.
 
Hope so mate, he didnt look to badly hurt after the full time whistle on wednesday.
 
spion told me he's heard suarez is a doubt as well. anyone else heard anything on this?

just seen training pictures on RAWK and he's there as normal. hopefully he's alright.
 
the vine is quite a small inside and get quite packed, though reasonably priced

Park inn is now part of the raddison hotels chain so drinks and food are pricey but good to park your car at.

Royal oak just been re-fitted, opposite a big wickes store, close to the ground so could be worth a visit

We will win. Simply because I am going and taking two people who are breaking their away cherry's. One good turn deserves another!

Thanks for the pub advice chaps. Will certainly look into them.

Going to meet up with Red Astaire too. I hope he's wearing Stone Island and Burberry like me and Peter will be...
 
ah shit. my mam's put all my stone island gear in the wash. i'll probably be wearing a full LFC strip, shirt shorts socks and all. hope it's warm up there or i'll look a right plank.

As long as its the yellow pin stripe Hitachi kit. I'll be wearing the red one underneath my Stone Island coat. We don't want to look stupid or anything.

as long as we've both got our chunky sovereign rings we'll look sound m8.

Rings are not my thing. I've already told you that!
 
Probable team:

------------Reina

Kelly Carra Agger Enrique
--------Lucas Adam
----------Gerrard
Hendo----------------Suarez
-----------Carroll

Most of what Kenny has implemented has worked out and the signing of Luis Suarez was inspired. He plays in that famous No. 7 shirt that Kenny had and I had and while he's different to us, one thing he has in common is that he gives it everything when he's out on the football pitch. He'll try stuff, he's exciting, he's a little bit volatile - which he may have to watch at times - but his frustration comes from wanting to do well, wanting to score goals, wanting to win. Bringing him in was a masterstroke.

Suarez and Liverpool need to be a little bit more ruthless against West Brom, though. We watched them last week on ESPN and they should have been four or five up against Norwich - Kenny will have got in his car to go home thinking 'how the hell did we not win that game'. But he'll know that, with the players Liverpool have got, if they keep on creating that many chances they'll score a lot of goals in a lot of games.

Kenny still hasn't found his best combination yet - Stewart Downing and Charlie Adam need to step up, Andy Carroll needs to force his way in, as does Jordan Henderson. Of the new signings, only Jose Enrique - who was actually the cheapest arrival - has really hit the ground running, they've all just done okay. I was a bit disappointed with Downing against Norwich and I think Adam needs to start believing that he can influence Liverpool in the way he did Blackpool. When you go to a big club it's different - the pressure is there, the crowd is bigger, the expectations are greater. Some players come through it. Some don't. Downing and Adam are experienced internationals and if they can replicate their form of last season, Liverpool will be looking good.

I reckon Downing will play in place of Henderson. Apart from i reckon you're spot on.

I'd like to see this 11 though:

----------------- Reina ---------

Kelly --- Skrtel --- Agger --- Enrique

------ Gerrard --- Lucas --- Adam

--- Bellamy ------------------- Suarez

------------- Carroll ------------

Plenty of pics of him on the official training with the rest of the squad. If he was a doubt, surely he wouldn't have trained at all. I think he'll play.
 
Yup Suarez is most definitely out...

[quote author=Hansern link=topic=47324.msg1418735#msg1418735 date=1319898210]
Kelly, Maxi and Carroll should start.
[/quote]

I agree.

I think this would be a great team:

Reina
Kelly Skrtel Agger Enrique
Downing Lucas Gerrard Bellamy/Maxi
Carroll Suarez

We'd fucking slaughter them.
