The Albion Roar

Back for our 20th consecutive season (count them), Vicki, Phil, Andy and Marcus join Ady and Al to discuss what's happened over the summer (we could talk about the World Cup, but we can't afford the lawyers), and our hare-brained predictions for 2026/27.

UNEDITED. So our grizzling will be heard!

A defeat by Manchester United greeted with celebrations as the Albion return to Europe. Plus a look ahead to the Women's FA Cup Final, and a temporal faux pas, as Ady, Al and Nick all look forward to next season with Solly March. Guess what happened an hour after recording...

A defeat at Leeds, labelled 'Lucky' by Daniel Farke, after a dominant display, and the Players' Awards 2026 are up for discussion this week.

Aby Shepherd of the Shegulls OSC, and Jason Thackeray join Ady and Al to discuss a comfortable 3-0 home win for the men's team over Wolves, and a manic 3-2 FA Cup semi-final victory for the Shegulls over Liverpool.

An unwarranted - and rare - defeat in Newcastle, where the Toon's goals weren't the barndoors the Albion needed them to be. Plus we get a further lowdown on the news of the Albion's new women's stadium plans.

A rare thing for the Roar these days - a live show! Justin Brentnall and The Treason Show's Mark Brailsford join Ady & Al to discuss the women's new stadium plans, and the run-in to the end of the season.

Sending other teams into despair. Two 'Big Six' clubs at that. Spurs away and Chelsea at home, and lots of fun with it.

The victory in a sunny blizzard at Turf Moor, the possibility of a Dutch exit, and a look ahead to our two matches against Brighton Old Boys.

Ady chats with stand-up comedian Jim Daly, and with Al as we gear up for the season's final run-in.

A morale-boosting excellent over Liverpool set the mood for a happy (well, happier than usual) show. Tom contributed the bon mots, Ady and Al were gigglers.

Three precious points at the Stadium of Light A win on the road and it wasn't shite A point that was stolen by, yep, VAR The pathetic dramatics of Ismaila Sarr

One match that resulted in a home win (rare), and an incompetent referee allowing unprofessional behaviour from the opposition, making the spectacle a tedious waste of ST money (far less rare) up for discussion.

With the increase of feigned injuries, former Albion physio Malcolm Stuart joined Ady & Al to look at the politics, the tactics and the medical concerns over this phenomenon. And with Albion not bothering to lose at West London, Vicki joins the cast to discuss the match, the improved performance, and the much-improved result.

Palace. Jesus wept.

Oh, VAR. What is WRONG with you?

The Argus' very own (or 'only') sports correspondent, Brian Owen, joins Ady & Al to dissect a frustrating afternoon in London, while also looking at the last knockings of the transfer window.

Super-boffin Kieran joins Ady and Al once again to discuss Bournemouth's 'dying swans with cramp' epidemic, what can be done to put an end to their heinous nonsense, an Albion goal of the season contender, Kieran's work with the PFA and the LMA, plus a rundown of the Albion's latest set of financial figures, released a couple of weeks ago.

The near-perfect FA Cup weekend courtesy of Macclesfield and Manchester United doing the right thing. Plus, we pay tribute to 40 Notes organiser and lifelong Albion fan, Doug Clarke
