Brilliant win. So unexpected once we fell behind. Delighted for the Heg. He’s going to frustrate all season, but score double figures thanks to his poachers instinct. While we remain in the playoffs, Mozza’s overachieving. Lolz at the Dingz.

The Championship season enters its autumnal phase as of this weekend. My latest piece is an appraisal of how Albion have started the season, as well as initial thoughts on the summers new arrivals. Check it out on Substack in The Throstles Nest. #WBA dannash454.substack.com/p/signs-of-p...

Signs of Promise

It’s still early days - but there’s a feeling that the Baggies are refreshed and renewed this season

Brilliant race. Well done McNulty, perfectly timed attack.

Myhre is even worse than Price in that second striker role. Heggebø has to come back in to be the focal point while JJM buzzes around him. I’m sure FHM has qualities but he needs dropping and to be made to fight for a place in midfield. 2 points dropped tonight. Charlton annoyingly plucky.

Fantastic win from Mas in the Vuelta, love it when the leaders jersey gives a rider extra belief to win a stage like that. Spain will be loving that stage win

The officials incompetence didn’t help Albion today, but overall the better team won. Second half wasn’t good enough on or off the ball and Boro’s £20m striker took advantage. First half encouraging but you need to score when on top. On to the next one.

Gutted for Pogacar, nasty crash. Doesn’t half open up the Vuelta as an actual race though.

Today Albion played the kind of football I hoped Mowbray would have us playing last season,had he been backed. At least it’s a disciple of his who cracked it. Mozza becomes Mogga. I love it. This season feels exciting for #WBA

Well done to Hull so far for noting that United turned up expecting a walk in the park and instead have been bullied. Great to see a promoted side do that.

In the Hands of the Gods. My take on the Heggebø ban, and how the pursuit of absolute justice is a fools errand in football. Available to read on Substack, in The Throstles Nest. #WBA dannash454.substack.com/p/in-the-han...

In the Hands of the Gods

WBA are again punished retrospectively, but this time it’s the FA who look dishonest and foolish

Dan Nash @dannash86.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Happy days! Won’t get too excited, given we started last season with 3 wins and a draw, but it’s great that the momentum from the end of last term has carried on into this one. #WBA

Soldiers and Artists. The famous Mowbray line. Does his disciple James Morrison have the right blend of both? Are some of his soldiers a little under appreciated? My latest #WBA Substack, available now. dannash454.substack.com/p/soldiers-a...

An Albion fan knows that you need a blend of both, and so it would seem does James Morrison

A new season. A Fresh Start. Can us Baggies fans be optimistic about the campaign ahead, or at least that it’ll be an improvement on the last one? I believe it can - my latest Substack post from The Throstles Nest delves into why. #WBA open.substack.com/pub/dannash4...

A Fresh Start

The new season approaches with a sense of intrigue and optimism at West Bromwich Albion.

Christ almighty what a final stage, and what a win for MVDP, which wouldn’t have been possible without that collaboration from Pogacar. Two absolute greats. #TDF2026

FFS Albion, Townsend? Really? When we signed him the first time round he was an easily affordable prospect, and that’s the kind we should be looking at again, not bringing back a crocked 33 year old who’s barely played since we offloaded him. Better hope Styles is ever present again this season!

I respect the fight Argentina show but they do lack class. I’m more disappointed by how they played though. No ambition until they fell behind, no quality. Spain are bloody hard to play against but give them a game, it’s a World Cup final FFS.

Utter bollocks. Fresh pace and energy - an abundance of which was sat on the bench - would have at least given England plenty of threat via counter attacks. And if keeping possession is so important, why TT did you not even select TAA, Wharton, MGW? Pure dishonesty from Tuchel.

Dan Nash @dannash86.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

So much for appointing the tactical genius who was all we needed to become tournament winners. Tuchel went full on Southgate. You’ll never be champions if you don’t play like champions. Argentina did, England didn’t. So disappointing to lose in that manner.

All that stands between England and World Cup glory are two teams who couldn’t beat Cape Verde over 90 minutes. It’s coming home. 😂

This is France’s World Cup to lose. I’m not sure who can stop them. Spain in the semi, maybe - but the pace and quality in the French attack is ridiculous.

It’s like Mbappe and Messi see it as unsporting to score penalties in their race for the golden boot.

Dan Nash @dannash86.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

With no VAR, you quite possibly get the same result, but all we remember is a great game of football with barely any controversy. The answer to this issue is obvious. Full abolition, now.

Dan Nash @dannash86.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

Proper champions. Fair play. The officials deserve a lot of scrutiny but you can’t deny Argentina’s mental strength. It’s better for the tournament that they stay in it. No doubt FIFA think that too…

If Argentina lose this, I expect England to reach the final. Not a given obviously, but we’ll be favourites out of the contenders on this side of the draw. This terrifies me.

Dan Nash @dannash86.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

The Messi penalty issue is weird, the man can whip a free kick in the top corner from much further out at will, so why not just whip it the same way and give the keeper no chance from 12 yards?

Portugal might win this if they haul off the old fart up front. Spain not really at it so far.

Caught up with the England game this morning. No looking at the result so what a bloody rollercoaster that was. Proud of England because they had to handle both the fantastic atmosphere (chapeau Mexico) and some poor officiating. The defending in the final 20 mins was superb.

I’m off to the French alps on holiday tomorrow. Looks like it’ll be a fairly wet and stormy week. I can’t wait for it, because that’ll be far nicer than this disgusting heatwave we’re having here. The colder months can’t come back soon enough.

That’s not a bad point in terms of getting to the next stage as group winners. Professional job against Panama and we’re there. Ghana defended excellently, credit it to them, England didn’t do enough to break them down but should have won it at the end.
