Poor Burnley. You have to respect a club who’s ballsy enough to play a 4-3-3 against the likes of Liverpool. Unfortunately, that strategy has pretty much got them to where they are: relegated. It was just a bad day to be a Claret. Absolutely nothing was going their way. Satistically speaking, the teams were pretty [...]

Crushing West Ham 3 – 0 definitely wasn’t one of our best looking performances, but it got the job done. It is hard to get too excited about this win because the opposition looked like a team on the verge of being relegated. Oh wait, they are. There were a number of positives to take [...]

The doctor says I need to eat more fruits and vegetables. So, to placate my health care practitioner, I’m going to drink a quart of wine for lunch. Who am I to ignore the advice of a trained medical professional? After the scoreless draw today at Anfield, I don’t think even the good doctor would [...]
A Premature Preview?

Alright, let’s put this into perspective. We beat Benfica on Thursday to make it through to the Europa League semi-finals. Good job boys. Great. Now, it’s time to focus. Fulham are coming to town tomorrow and a few seasons ago that would have been something to laugh about. I would have not even considered getting [...]
It’s Really Not OK…..

Well, my Easter is ruined. How about yours? Another predictable draw with the Brummies when it could have been so much better. Sharing the spoils wouldn’t be so bad if we weren’t in such an unfortunately horrible position but at this point we have no chance for excuses. To be quite honest, it wasn’t even [...]
Next Time on CSI Birmingham…..

Does anyone actually want to go to St. Andrews tomorrow? I know I don’t. We’re off to face David Caruso Alex McLeish’s side in less than 24 hours and looking to take a unbeaten home record from them that spans all the way back to September 2009. That’s one long ass time for a team [...]
