It took until this afternoon, but I have finally seen Albion win on my birthday, nearly 32 years since I attended my first match. Also, I believe Oxford are now the only team in the Championship not to have been awarded a penalty this season, after the one that Albion were given (and scored) this afternoon.

It can't have been Bianca, unless she's able to be in two places at once, as Jade came out on to the stage with Bianca when Bianca was making her entrance for a match, Jade then returned backstage, and that was when the attack took place.

Will you be coming to The Hawthorns next Saturday?

Sounds like you had an interesting second half today, as did we at The Hawthorns. Who's your new gaffer?

Add Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows to the list.

Black couldn't have appeared in the Rumble, as his contract with AEW hasn't expired yet, apparently.

It's not really that strange, it's the same number of matches as each of the past two years.

I know I'm a couple of days late, but I've just seen that Evatt has gone, Muur. How do you feel about it?

I enjoyed that result as well as Pompey beating Middlesbrough, although you probably enjoyed that one less. What's going on at Bolton, Muur? I heard earlier that Dion Charles has gone to Huddersfield.

You're welcome!

This coming Monday, I believe.

All the best teams draw 1-1 at Deepdale after having been 1-0 up.

I really don't know, I'm not sure who Albion could realistically attract who would do at least as good a job as the one that Carlos Corberan has done.

Yeah, his hometown is about 20 miles away from Valencia, and he played for their B team, until he quit playing to take up coaching, so can certainly understand why it would be hard for him to pass up the opportunity, definitely do not begrudge him taking the job. As for Liam Manning, he is just one of a number of names who have been linked to the Albion job, how much truth there is in any of them remains to be seen.

It was indeed. Carlos Corberan is off to Valencia, announced at quarter to midnight on Christmas Eve. Merry f***in' Christmas.

I'm guessing he wasn't actually in charge for that match and that his first match will be the one on Boxing Day. This afternoon I saw a team managed by one your former bosses lose 2-0 at The Hawthorns and it should have been more.

One of a number of now-demolished grounds that I have been to including of course both the Manor Ground and Burnden Park.

I have been to Pride Park multiple times. I have been there for the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the league. I also went to the Baseball Ground twice.

I don't blame you. I've been to Plymouth twice, in 2006 and 2010, but right now I don't fancy going again, it's a long way to go for most away teams. I'm guessing you've never been to Elland Road before, can't think when Oxford would've last played there. I bought a ticket a few days ago for Derby away on Boxing Day, my second away match of the season.

Postponed, not cancelled. Sorry for being a pedant. Were you due to go?

Albion drew 0-0 at Sunderland last night and are now unbeaten in nine matches, although only one of those was a win. On Saturday I will be going to Preston for what will be my first match away match of the season and my first away match since I went to Norwich in January. Last season I saw Albion win 4-0 at Deepdale, so I am hoping for something similar this weekend.

I remember him playing for them when they had their season in the Premier League, 14 years ago now. After having only seen a total of three goals in seven matches prior to today, this afternoon I saw four goals in the first half. Unfortunately Karlan Grant had a goal disallowed that would have made it 3-2, and there were no more goals after that, but still the most entertaining match that I have attended so far this season. Even with those four goals though, I have still seen fewer goals this season at The Hawthorns than were scored in one match at the Kassam...

You're welcome, I guess! It wasn't pretty, but it was much needed. Seven games unbeaten now.

Watford vs. Oxford? There'll be yellow everywhere! The last time I went to Vicarage Road was August 2015, not sure how many times I've been there in total, but I've watched matches from three of the four stands.

Make that three goals I have seen in seven matches now, although I think the goal that Burnley had disallowed probably should have stood.
