Ok i thought i should mark my 5,000th post by trying to do something sensible for a change, so i thought i'd do a our record v the Baggies.
We have lost 4 league games at the Hawthorns in the last 30 years, the last time we lost there was memorable in so much as Flavio sacked his 1st manager, John Gregory after a 5-1 defeat, in which if memory serves a certain Ishmael Miller, along with Kevin Phillips terrorized our defence.
In those 30 years v the Baggies QPR have W 9 D7 L 7 (league) home and away.
West Brom do figure quite prominently in our history, obviously our League Cup final win in 1967 against them is the standout one, but as i say John Gregory became Briatore's first victim, it was against WBA that our joint managers Steve Gallen and Marc Bircham took control for their one game in charge before Paul Hart arrived, and on the 3rd April 1982 we beat them in an FA cup semi-final at Highbury 1-0.
So hopefully they'll be as obliging this weekend and help us go along way to securing our Prem status. We have not lost a league game away to WBA, in the top flight, since 1979 (33years) This year is the 1st season we have played them in the Premier league.
