Pre Match Birmingham (H)

[Lako42]

Should have got one in JTT area for £22/£23 and walk around. The corner concourse is accessible by both the Kop and the West Stand, so it's an easy mistake to end up in the Kop innit :icon_wink

I would prefer it if you didn't advertise my own match day routine to the world

 

[Biffa Bacon]

I've often wondered why you're so miserable. You've got an office in Japan, you travel first class and don't even have to pay for the missus because she fits in your hand luggage, and you're not a Coventry fan despite your family. You've nowt to be miserable about really.

I know, the miserable bastard is an affect, I'm actually the happiest ****er on the planet.

[LES Fox]

Ture.

Nothing like a good moan.

yeah it's too quiet, all those moaners like to do is moan.

 

[Mawsley]

I'm actually the happiest ****er on the planet.

It's true.

He's never happier than when he's moaning.

 

[Granite Fox]

I will be down from Aberdeen for this one. First match since Watford last season (league not play offs)

I hope it's a win for you ( and me! ).

Talking to a Brum fan today, he reckons, so far this season they have looked solid at the back but rarely threaten at the other end.

0-0 it is then

 

[Granite Fox]

So do I RS but it has all of the makings of a drab 0-0

 

[David Gwilliam]

Birmingham is a puzzle. In population it is the second city. Liverpool and Manchester are smaller and yet each have two great clubs. Something seems to hold Aston Villa back even when they have ambitious managers - Mercer, Docherty, Atkinson, O'Neill.

Birmingham City fare worse. They are a yoyo club. Since modern football - the end of the maximum wage - they have had one really great player. They sold Trevor Francis to Nottingham Forest a team from a much smaller city.

When Man City were relegated a few years ago and when Man U were relegated in the 1970s this was seen as amazing and they soon bounced back. No one seems surprised that Birmingham City is in the Championship.
Why?

 

[M17TT C]

It would be impossible for any of us to say, David, as we haven't seen them live this year.

 

[spionfox]

Birmingham is a puzzle.

When the Aston Expressway and underpasses are free of roadworks and you can pass right through from one side of the city to the other in minutes Birmingham is perfectly understandable. When not, puzzling would be too soft a word.

I blame it on the fact that Brum has more miles of canals than Venice.

 

[Kingy_85]

A couple of big wins and the media might start picking up on us as possible league winners. We don't want that!

So a 1-0 bore off will do me fine.

 

[SJN-Fox]

Konchesky confirmed as being back in the squad for Saturday.

 

[sparky79]

I'd keep Schlupp in at left back - he clearly doesn't rate Bakayogo. Odd signing.
I'm keen that we see players like Sesay, Dodoo, Cain or Panayiotou on the bench instead of Waghorn who, again, just seems to hang around the place like a vegetarian's fart - being neither a first teamer or an up and coming prospect.

Schmeichel
De Laet Morgan Moore Schlupp
King James
Knockaert
Vardy Wood Dyer

 

[Hazzman]

I don't know how many times I've heard people say this about Bakayogo.

He had no pre-season and is playing catch-up with fitness.

 

[Scotfox]

Sparky give Bakayogo a chance he's only been at the club a short time. To say ( I assume NP) doesn't rate him is a bit premature surely. I agree about some of the youngsters though, would give their confidence a massive boost just to get on the bench.

 

[M17TT C]

Bakayogo is pretty shit though.

 

[spionfox]

I'd keep Schlupp in at left back - he clearly doesn't rate Bakayogo.

That isn't clear to me
