Amongst the chaos of the coronavirus and everything else that is coming with it, not a lot is getting done in the football world, in fact, nothing is being done. So West Brom are trying to help their fans through it by putting together a hypothetical six aside tournament with teams made up of players past and present.
Group D
Two spots up for grabs in the last eight. This group is full of Albion royalty. But who gets your vote?#WBA6ASideChampionship | #WBA pic.twitter.com/USZ0jX7sYu

The latest spate of teams for the Twitter tournament has been announced, and whilst one team, captained by Zoltan Gera, on paper looks like an absolutely fantastic side, the comments have all been about how badly Gera has been stitched up by his team’s ‘keeper, Paul Crichton.
Now it may be very harsh that the Baggies have taken to the comments to lambaste the former goalkeeper, but they’re not all saying it for no reason, and whilst the whole competitions is a bit of light-hearted fun, it’s hard to get away from the injustice done to #TeamZolly.

Zolly’s got no chance. Paul Crichton!

Paul Chricton… Good lord!

Zolly’s team is poor if only because of Crichton in goal.
WORST. KEEPER. EVER.

The Baggies have got loads of time for Gera, but not so much Crichton in this case.
