SYNOPSIS

May 15th 2005, Albion survive in the Premiership having been bottom at Christmas. From Mission Impossible to Mission Accomplished in 20 games.

August 20th 2005. Albion beat Portsmouth to collect four points out of six to start the new Premiership campaign.

Baggies everywhere were preparing for a quiet season for once, the comfort of mid-table obscurity rather than the manic emotions of the last five seasons. We were going to edge our way up the table and leave the dog fighting to others. But how do you make God laugh? Show him your plans.

Having stayed outside the bottom three for months on end thanks to the sublime skills of Kanu, the goals of Ellington, the authority of Davies and the acrobatics of Kuszczak, the Throstles slipped into the drop zone in the dying days of the season and, this time, couldn't scramble to safety.

This is the inside story of the 2005/6 season, including all the action and extensive interviews with Bryan Robson, Curtis Davies, Tomasz Kuszczak, Paul Robinson and Kevin Campbell.
