For my 500th post I shall look at the Kubatan controversy. Darren Day has been arrested for carrying one. I had a kubatan when I was on my University Karate squad a decade ago.

We're not quite there yet , but a win at Doncaster will seal it on Saturday. Our (WBA) problem is that we've never really had a decent manager in the Premiership. Megson did the best he could with the resources he had; Robson was utterly useless, but by by some freak of nature kept us up; and Mowbray was ridiculously overated by WBA fans because he played the game "the way it should be played", even though it resulted in us finishing bottom with a goal difference of -31. Di Matteo could be the man, but he'll need to buy a new defence to keep us up.

It's best to be cautious, because the first year we went up to the Premiership (2001-02), we overcame a 16 point gap with Wolves, who collapsed spectacularly in the last two months of the season. So I'm not counting any chickens until it's mathematically sure!!!

Know what you mean but it would be a million to one shot for West Brom not to go up.
