Jay Simpson scored West Brom’s first goal last night against Peterborough in the FA Cup 3rd Round replay, which helped them to a 2 – 0 win.
He scored on 17 minutes,and was was replaced by Craig Beattie in the 71st minute, but great to see him get his first Baggies goal.
Jay has got me quite excited this season, his goal in the Carling Cup against Wigan was sublime, and the experience he will get with West Brom is invaluble. He is performing well for them and the more goals and games he gets the better!
Next season I think he could be challenging for a place in the Arsenal first team.
What are your opinions?
Update: Watch the highlights here, at ITV. (Thanks to Dosboss for the link)
does anyone know where i can see the goal?
I prefer him up front than Bendtner.
Why keep Bendtner and send Simpson on loan?
Sell Bendtner and bring back Simpson.
i have watched Jay a few times on Arsenal t.v. I think he has a big future, time will tell if its with us
As I West Brom fan, I have to say that Jay Simpson has to be an Arsenal star of the future. It’s not only his footballing skill, but also his attitude and temperament that have been noted in the Midlands. Have you got anymore you don’t want for 6 months!!!
anyone got a link for the goal?
no your not having him mark we need him more than you lol. you have a very classy player for the future there and we will take care of him for ya.
Just happy to see that he’s at a club with good ‘footballing’ principles. Hope you guys manage to stay up and that he plays a key role for you…
I’ve been looking for highlights online of the game, but I can’t find any.
If anyone has them then post a link!

I think that’s a well taken goal, by anyone’s standards.
arsenal will not be buying anyone this Jan.
Baggies fan here, I’ve gotta say I am really impressed with this lad, as mentioned above, his attitude is first class, he’s tireless and clearly has all the attributes to be an Arsenal first teamer in my opinion.
I hope his goals can keep us in the Premiership, the more footballing teams in there, the better!
Sorry, mean’t to say future Arsenal first teamer!
Cheers Daniel, good to see some Baggies fans on here!
I reckon Simpson has what it takes, he has looked very good for West Brom in his first few games!
