    On that note, it's time for me to bid you a fond farewell. Thanks for your contributions today... especially your recommendations for Alan Irvine songs (81 mins). I'm off to listen to some Marvin Gaye/Guns N' Roses! Night.

    Here's a sobering stat for Burnley supporters... the Clarets have now gone 8 hours & 46 minutes without a Premier League goal. Remember when they signed Ian Wright?

    Before then, however, MOTD 2 pundit Kevin Kilbane will be writing a column for this very website where he will analyse this afternoon's game at The Hawthorns. Look out for that later this evening.

    Ann Williamson:, external Lukas Jutkiewicz did OK at Bolton last season and I think we are missing him but he and Marvin Sordell are Championship at best. Not good enough for the Premier League.

    It becomes slightly trickier for West Brom, who travel to Liverpool next weekend before successive home games against Manchester United and a resurgent Crystal Palace.

  8. Coming up for the Claretspublished at 18:31 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    What next for Burnley? Well, they visit Leicester City next weekend before back-to-back home games against West Ham and Everton. Surely they'll be targeting six points out of nine to kick-start their stuttering season?

  9. Manager reactionpublished at 18:25 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    More from Burnley manager Sean Dyche, speaking to BBC Sport: "It was a good performance from them and a poor one from ourselves. The biggest learning curve in the Premier League is that you cannot turn up and not be right on top of your performance. We are growing into it and it is important we turn up ready to perform. We did not look right today. Today we looked unsure from the beginning.

    "Maybe the changes affected that, our midfield has played a big part for us and we had two players missing. But that is why it is important to have a squad. You have to come in and deliver with purpose and that was lacking today. WBA deserved it. Full credit to them. We knew the first goal was going to be important and after that there was no coming back."

  10. Manager reactionpublished at 18:24 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    West Brom manager Alan Irvine on BBC Sport: "Saido Berahino can be very good. He's a terrific lad and very, very talented. I spoke to him at half-time and said to be patient and continue making runs. He got his reward for continuing to do that. He's a model professional and has fantastic potential."

    Barry Mc Donnell:, external Burnley need Danny Ings and Sam Vokes fit as soon as possible. Starting to really feel for them.

    Mark Riley:, external As a Burnley fan all I can say is that was an embarrassing performance!!

    Matt Barnsley:, external A hard working team can get you places in the Championship. And I'm not convinced the quality of the league last year was great. Leicester were the only top top team last year. And they're currently holding their own.

    West Brom manager Alan Irvine, speaking to Sky Sports: "We were terrific. You can never be 100% satisfied and there was a little spell in the second half I did not like but only five or six minutes. The rest of the time I was delighted.

    "It is bred from the work we have been doing and the way the players have applied themselves since day one. A few weeks ago I said we were closer to where we wanted to be. There is still work to do and tough games to come but it has been a great week and the players have got their reward.

    "I believe we have got a great group of lads but I also know how hard it is going to be to win games in this league. We will not get carried away. We have had a good start, and we have to build on that."

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche: "We never got started and never got to grips. It's important we grow and learn from it. Yes (it's our toughest day in the league). We had changes forced upon us, but it's important we deal with the changes. There were two horrible set-pieces from our point of view. You want players that come in to grip the shirt - I don't think we did that today, it'll come another day. We gave the ball away silly today."

  15. Chelsea to play at Twickenham?published at 18:14 British Summer Time 28 September 2014

    Secondly, Chelsea have made an initial inquiry about playing at Twickenham while Stamford Bridge is redeveloped.

    The Rugby Football Union has confirmed it has been in contact with the Premier League club but said talks are at a very early stage. Twickenham is the home of English rugby union and the 82,000-capacity stadium has never hosted a football match.

    The RFU said: "We have had an enquiry from Chelsea FC but have not had any discussions of any substance."

    First of all, Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho has apologised for making "a bad choice" by leaving Anfield before the Merseyside derby against Everton. The French international, 24, was left out of the squad and was pictured by a supporter heading out of the stadium.

    "I'm aware it was a bad choice from my part," Sakho wrote on his Facebook page.

    James: I wonder how furious Liverpool fans would have been before the start of the season if you'd told them that after six matches they'd be beneath Palace, Leicester and West Brom in the table.

    Secondly, the players which epitomise this West Brom team of recent years - the likes of Graham Dorrans, Chris Brunt and James Morrison in midfield - all imposed themselves on the contest. They overran Burnley in the centre of the park.
