BEWARE of an invasion by the 'Men in Black' this weekend.

That's the message as West Bromwich Albion prepare to descend on Ewood.

Albion might have already been relegated back to the First Division, but that won't stop them from staging a huge party this Saturday.

And that makes them dangerous opposition because the pressure is now off Gary Megson and his players following a season-long battle to stay in the top flight.

If you're wondering why I'm talking about 'Men in Black' then check out the Darwen End this weekend.

Albion fans are planning to come dressed as referees as part of a tongue-in-cheek protest at some of the dodgy decisions which have gone against them during the last 10 months.

So we could be in for some fun and games as we attempt to secure the win we need to keep our European dreams alive.

Few critics gave Albion a chance of surviving when they won promotion last summer and that forecast has turned out to be right.

But on paper, they've got better players than their league form would suggest and we simply can't afford to take anything for granted.

I particularly like the look of Jason Koumas in midfield. When we got promoted from the First Division a couple of seasons ago, he was playing for Tranmere at the time and he looked a good player then.

Since then he's also shown he can cut it in the Premiership as well with a number of impressive goals from midfield.

I also rate Jason Roberts up front. He was a real handful in the First Division and I'm slightly surprised he's not scored more goals this season.

They've been up against it from the off, though, and when you're under constant pressure like that it's difficult to really express yourself.

That's why I think they could be dangerous this weekend. With their fate already decided, they can come to Ewood and enjoy their football.

After last week's 6-0 thumping at the hands of Liverpool, they won't want to go out of the Premiership with a whimper so we've got to make sure we aren't the fall guys.

It was a familiar tale for us and me last weekend - another win, and another injury!

To beat Leeds 3-2 in their own back yard was a fantastic achievement but the shine was taken off my afternoon when I was forced to go off with a calf strain.

This season has been the worst I've known for injuries and from that point of view I can't wait for it to be over.

Let's just hope we can finish on a high ourselves by securing that sixth spot ahead of Everton.
