By a mile, the most spectacular flock of birds I've ever seen living out here was three years ago and this amazing group of Glossy Ibis. That tone of chestnut brown and voluminous dark green, just amazing.. They are very uncommon, so stunned to see this large group by an ocean pool..

Clever play on words...

Nature can be so amazing... 1000's of miles of snowshoeing and hiking in the wilderness, [over 23 years living out in NH], first time I've seen a Moose.. This was a Cow and her calf from the previous Spring..

My latest baggiebard.com article can only be about one player. Isaac Price I've looked deeply into his background, a 21 Year Old, as fascinating as his talent shines It'll enlighten, and entertain. Here's the link.. baggiebard.com/post/the-pri... Eloquent, humble, gifted. Enjoy while he's, Ours.

I love Springsteen, this song and lyric of relationships woe and self analysis is raw, bitingly brilliant, so well observed and musicianship is spot on. If ever I hear this song, I'l replay it a few times, hypnotic harmonies and rhythms. Underrated song www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkFQ...

'46 days. Well it's two more days than Cloughie lasted at Leeds, but it's long enough to clearly start to make your mark on a team in terms of identity and team selection. The Mogga touch.' The opening to my recent Baggies article, words that hold truth. Baggiebard.com

A Green Throated Carib. One of the cooler names for a Humming Bird species, fresh from a dusk time, nectar drink, out in Guadeloupe.

March marks the first year of baggiebard.com, it's been such a rewarding journey to create articles on The Albion, from the present to the past. Thanks for everyone who has dipped in, it means a lot! Enjoy my latest article, 'Mogga's Touch' COYB www.baggiebard.com/post/mogga-s...

"My sense is that we will probably need to sell another player for a decent sum of money..." @goldbergradio.bsky.social @andycaulton.bsky.social assess recent #wba accounts podfollow.com/the-liquidat...

A yr ago, Torbjorn Heggem was playing in the Svenska Cupen. His coach? The Swedish defender, Olof Mellberg. Influential Technical excellence, commanding presence, strength. Improves game on game, under both Carlos and Mogga, defensive masterclass v Leeds. Similar later start to a career as G Mac.

Northern Cardinal after yesterday's snowstorm.

Nine teams fighting for two Play Off spots, four pts between the teams. In essence, a 13 game season, our away form is poor and still got to travel to Leeds, Burnley, Coventry, Norwich, Bristol, Cardiff. Our scoring rate this league season is 1.25 per game. Going to be tough..

Stand up and be counted. Forever that way at Millwall.. Ousmane Diakite was absolutely superb today. Grew stronger and stronger into his role, the double tackle second half was inspirational. Very calm in possession in a tumult of atmosphere. Really stepped up screening midfield.

As a 16 yr old lad, this sporting encounter fascinated me.. West Brom were the first sporting team to tour the secretive and deeply mysterious China.. 47 yrs later, this eye opening documentary resurfaces. A different world in a world apart. Essential viewing.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Gy...

A time of huge change at the Albion, in the five week spell that I've covered in my latest monthly article baggiebard.com The article is called 'Turn' and from the methods of Mowbray to the accent on youth, times at WBA move fast. Here's the link. baggiebard.com/post/turn-wb...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ctk5... Low centre of gravity and deceptive strength.. Very good feet and tenacious mixed with creative in possession.. Highlights are always never the true picture, so have to trust the scouts on what they see, but from this footage looks very good.. NOT A CENTRE FORWARD!

The 'Style of Styles'. Callum Styles is one of those players you naturally gravitate to. 100% effort, technically sound, a joy to watch. Callum's back story is even more satisfying and unique, so many unexpected twists and turns, a joy to research and write.. Out today at Baggiebard.com

'That’s really the heart of what I see when I watch Styles play.The street playing spirit is undiminished. It thrives in him. To see Styles control a ball with a delicious first touch, run into space or at defenders, you clearly see that kid in him, still lives and breathes.' Out Weds Baggiebard.com

Thursday Baggies Trivia, it's a beauty Jonas Ollson gave a superb interview on US Radio and was asked about his legendary hair and why he grew it that style? There's reasoning behind it all Jonas's hairstyle was based on his football hero as a kid! Who is that player? Good luck!

Helpful!

I love Thin Lizzy. Going to Phil's statue in Dublin was emotional but as statues go, fitting and brilliant. I saw many guitarists with the band, John Sykes was one of the later ones, and played on this brilliant rendition of 'The Sun Goes Down'. RIP. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB-c...

To know the man you need to know the whole story. Here's my deep dive into the life of Tony Mowbray, an inspirational character we welcome back with open arms at WBA. I've tried to cover every base. Leaders are born not made. #Mowbray #WestBrom baggiebard.com www.baggiebard.com/post/welcome...

RIP Denis Law An absolutely brilliant, instinctive, technically superb, intelligent striker Think of Bomber's goal celebration? Based on his hero. The resonance of Denis taking time to be part of Bomber's Statue unveiling is even deeper now. RIP Lawman. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKNJ...

Football is emotional. No guarantees of a crowds response. The acid test is 'the return'. Such a transient existence, testing loyalties to the full. When you leave, emotions dilute. But there are rare exceptions. Tony Mowbray is one. Respect earned is paid back, all his career.,

www.mfc.co.uk/news/2025/ja... Superb and emotional chat with Tony, filmed this week.. I'm writing a bio on Tony and for sure some of the times from this will be part of the narrative, baggiebard.com

To the tune of another Baggie scribe... 'He's coming home, He's coming home, Tony's coming home'. The stars aligned and is a truly beautiful fate.. Excited by the vibrancy he created from his last spell, only added by his slick passing recent Sunderland team. Welcome home Mozza. We need you....

Just heard a BRILLIANT interview with Jonas Ollson, here in the US on @SiriusXMFC with @EricWynalda and Jason Davies.. Few talk more sense and have more gravitas than Jonas, his insight and tactical nous is next level.. And Jonas has an EUFA A License as a Coach. Makes you think?

Jonas Olsson interview, @SiriusXMFC one theme was, 'The modern game..' @EricWynalda ' you are a throwback, you represented 'proper football' Jonas, 'As a centre half when I watch football today, I miss that desire in defence, the pride of keeping the ball away from the goal' Superb take.

Northern Flickers area such a stunning bird and very rare to see in Winter here.. I'm lucky as this one arrives early, their usual diet are ants.. The 'Flicker' in the name is the tongue he uses on ground feeding of ants, in the frozen NH tundra, no ants, so they migrate.. Stunning bird in flight..

7 years ago today, my hero, Cyrille Regis passed away. I discovered the shock news, early morning, drove to school in a blur, and in a 45 Minute break, poured my heart out into this piece. 'Cyrille Regis. Gone but will never be forgotten' This is it. RIP www.baggiebard.com/post/cyrille...

Just looking at Wicky's coaching staff from his last post, at Young Boys.. His two main coaches, are still employed in Switzerland, Zoltan Kadar is still with Young Boys, Guiseppe Morello is now at Grasshoppers of Zurich.. Talk of a decline and not get a visa? Morello is Swiss, Kadar is Romanian.

'Risk. Only time will tell?? None of us know the future, but let’s hope the Wicky appointment is a calculated risk that's well worth taking?' The conclusion to my piece on the possible appointment of Raphael Wicky, that's now been called off... The keyword was 'risk'.. Turmoil now at The Baggies.

I researched and created a deep dive on the new WBA boss Raphael Wicky, and it may be argued I worked a bit harder on this than a few of our inept performers did today? The article is called 'A Calculated Risk' Over 720 Baggies have read it in 13 hours, See what you think? www.baggiebard.com/blog

'WBA have a relatively thin squad, where the drop off from the levels of the first team regulars to the rest, can definitely be deemed to be wide. And as is forever a notion in such an arduous division as The Championship, its squads win that promotion, not teams' www.baggiebard.com/post/time-we...
