Have a break Tony, don't have a Kit Kat

Wispa it quietly but Tony Mowbray started today's press conference looking like he'd opened up a box of Quality Street and found that someone had nicked the last Coffee Creme.

Despite looking remarkably like the Milk Tray man - black shirt, black suit - Mowbray bemoaned the lack of Easter Eggs he'd received following his 40-day chocolate exile during Lent.

It seems the nearest Mowbray will be getting to a Turkish Delight or a Malteser any time soon is if he decides to raid the European transfer market during the summer.

Mars isn't even in the same Galaxy (presumably he'll have to make do with Venus instead) and as for All Gold or Orange Sensations? Wrong club completely.

All of this meant Albion's very own chocoholic was not a happy man.

"I mentioned to the papers that I liked chocolate and was hoping for millions of Easter Eggs to be sent in," said Mowbray.

"Did I get any? No."

I detect a Birmingham Mail campaign, or how about a Chocolate-inspired theme day for the end-of-season away game at QPR.

*A big hello to the two Albion fans I met in the Abbey pub, over in Spain, during Tuesday's England v Poland under-21 game.
