With a busy start to 2026, it ended up a double bill of games to cover in one episode, intro’d by The Sickbed Kid, as soon as he was half-functioning again, to briefly review a long-awaited home victory over Amex bogey boys Burnley, before handing over the handheld recording duties to our regular Northern ‘Monks’ oop Manchester way for the always daunting visit to The Etihad. And it proved a fruitful and highly entertaining match, extending Albion’s unbeaten run up there to two games and the team’s AND Fabian’s overall unbeaten run against those poor, poverty-stricken urchins to 4 games! It also progresses the team’s current unbeaten PL run onto 3 matches.

Stand or fall!   UTA!  Sorry about the language, Mum!
