Call me unprofessional if you like, but I’m going to write a few thoughts on the Albion at the moment using the handy tool of numbered bullet points. Why? Because I’m lazy. And because I don’t know how to do normal bullet points on here. And because I want to go out and watch the England game in a minute so don’t want to be drawn into another essay. Anyway, let’s get on with it….

1) New signing from Uraguary, via Stoke. I don’t actually know his name though. Still, a player who cost almost £3 million (rising to 5!) at the Albion is always worth a bit of excitement.

2) Diego Arismendi. Ok, I cheated and looked him up. But yeah, Arismendi gives Poyet a selection headache. The 5 man midfield of Lua-Lua, Dicker, Navarro, Crofts and Bennett has looked super of late. For once, a Premiership midfielder is actually going to have to fight for his place in our team!

3) Lua-Lua. I blogged the other day about how we should sign him. Well now he’s come out and said he wants to say. Do it Tony. Please!

4) Russell Slade. What’s he up to? I’d love to get his thoughts on some rather contrasting Albion signings. Liam Dickinson, James Tunicliffe, Graeme Smith and Gary Dicker, Elliott Bennett and Alan Navarro. Perhaps Russ could spot a good winger, but didn’t have much of a clue about other areas? Admittedly, that’s being a bit harsh on Tunnicliffe, who could yet have a bright future ahead.

5) Dean Cox. Is he on his way out? Doesn’t seem to have progressed since Wilkins left. Shame.

6) Gavin Hoyte. Does ANYONE know the point in that?

7) Looks like we’re staying up then. Or does it? Still, Colchester, Swindon and let’s face it, just about any game at Withdean are difficult fixtures. Let’s not count too many chickens just yet.

8 ) Interestingly, if you write 8 ) without the space in between, it gives you a stupid smiley face instead. Fascinating.

9) Saw in the Argus that Simon Cowell is probably going to get hitched in Rottingdean. Apparently, he’s an Albion fan.
Now, I know we’ve got Tony Bloom on side already, but I’m sure nobody would complain if Cowell suddenly decided to chuck a few quid our way….

10) ..well, apart from our friends at Sellhurst and Fratton Park, who strangely appear to be the ones who are now ’skint’. I hope they don’t go out of business, but I must say it’s rather fun watching them struggle.

Yep, that’s all for now. I’m off to watch John Terry get booed by the Wembley crowd, with commentary from Andy Townsend and Robbie Earle. Bloody hell!
