Russ, The Gent, Gerry and Tony Brown all returned, this time joined by Will and Kirsty, to conclude our big summer review of the Albion squad and where we think there could and / or should be changes. There were low alcohol stouts with tap water chasers, power cuts and more besides, as the pod squad also discussed the latest from Albion and beyond, revelled in England’s progression in the Euro U21s, had another rant about the Club World Cup and announced the BRP Award winners.

Russ welcomed back to the pod this week The Gent, Tony Brown and Berlin based Tony Boden, as well as welcoming onto the show for the first time radio presenter and FAB board member Gerry Brown for his BRP debut. In this, the first of a two-part mini series taking a detailed look at the current status of the squad as a whole, following the conclusion of the recent season, we look at goalkeepers, centre backs and full backs and debate where we need to strengthen and on who might leave. All this after analysing the changing on-pitch culture of the Premier League and Albion’s place within it Part 2 will focus on the more attacking parts of the team as well as looking at the latest news this close season.

Andy Bass and Alan popped up to town for their first pubcast at the famous ‘home pub’ of the pod, The Gladstone Arms. Along with Glad veterans Pete and Russ, they talked through a packed agenda encompassing such topics as signings / potential signings, new contracts, stats and facts, managerial mayhem, FIFA-bashing, sell on clauses and the latest on the P*lace Europa fiasco.

BBC Sussex’s finest Johnny Cantor joined a pod squad comprising Russ, Pete, Andy K and Richard to review Fabian H’s first season at Albion, where a second best placing in their history and a second best points total in the top flight were achieved, as well as some spectacular goals and some decent cup runs.

Well Europe didn’t happen thanks to ManUre somehow beating Villa, with help from an appalling reffing cock-up and Forest bottling Champions League qualification…feats matching Man City’s pathetic showing in the FA Cup, but Albion themselves stood, not fell, securing 8th place and coming to within a point of their record PL points total to round off what most will consider a rather good season all things considered. Experiencing the utter roasting of the Spuds was the usual suspects, who imbibed pre and post to good effect and had a bloody good knees up regardless of missing the place they deserved in The Conference League. So Albion signed off in style, as did the MDS part of this season’s podding. Can’t wait to see what next season brings with new signings, returning players and another season leaving our upstart little brothers trailing in our wake no doubt. Stand or fall!!! UTA!!!
