Pre-Seasonal

It's reached the football withdrawal stage of the summer, accelerated by the fact that none of Albion's pre-season friendlies until today have been either viewable or listenable. Thankfully, the evening's fixture against Atromitos is available online, giving us a chance to see the summer's sole signing thus far - a certain Nicolas Anelka - show off his box of tricks. A goal for Nico, another for promising youngster Saido Berahino, and a third from the increasingly impressive Markus Rosenberg give us a 3-1 win. Three weeks left till the season starts and plenty to work on, but for the moment I'm once again a contented Baggie.
