Championship 23/24

[Miles Away]

If there's anyone who really does think that we should expect to be flying at the top of the table, they'd do well to look at that tweet.

For more than half of my life, Wednesday were a bigger and better club than Leicester - always in the top division, chllenging for cups, big name players like Des Walker and Chris Waddle. They've been consistently mismanaged for the last 20 years though, to the point where they struggled to get out of the third tier for a long time and look like they'll be back in it by Easter. That could easily have been us at a few points, not just over this summer, but when we also went down to League 1, the near bankruptcy of the early '00s, Tony James saving us on the last day of the 90-91 season. Enzo is doing a grand job, but others are doing so too.

Still a big club in my head, and one I have a soft spot for. Bit shit seeing how badly they’ve been led.

Birmingham already 2-0 down at Soton. Sacking a perfectly good coach and hiring Rooney has really backfired hasn’t it

Southampton well on top. But their first goal was offside, and Birmingham should have had a penalty.


Leeds are 3-0 up against Huddersfield.

Perhaps Huddersfield are.

They sound like a decent side. Do we play them soon?

Yep it’s the match we’re going to play the U9 blind team to smash them 14-0.

Other than us twatting everyone in sight, the Birmingham story might be my favourite thing about this season.

His post match interview was comedy gold

I remember some of the shite he came out with at Derby and thinking what must the players think? It all sounds like complete crap and I can’t believe players genuinely buy it.

First manager in Birmingham history to lose his first three matches

My memory of my early years as a football fan is of them being a nothing 3rd division side. I just checked & they spent 15 years going between the 2nd & 3rd. Only really became the club you describe in the mid 80s. I suppose because of that I've never really thought of them as a big club.

I think you might have checked the wrong club; Sheffield Wednesday were relegated to Division Three for the first time ever in 1975 and were promoted back to Two in 1980. They wouldn’t be back in the third tier until 2003.
