Vultures are circling overhead. Surely now, this is the end. A 2-0 reversal to Chelsea and our hopes of Champions League football is out without a peep. Gone with the wind. Uncertainty all around and I’m feeling like that kid that always gets lost in the Shopping Mall. Those boys from London have more or [...]

Bring Da Ruckus…..

We’re down to the last two matches of this wretched season and I’m about ready to say goodbye and good riddance. It’s hard to find positives after our Europa League exit on a fuckin’ technicality but tomorrow is another match and the chance to end the season with a bang. Galvanized under Carlo Ancelotti, Chelsea [...]
Hell’s Around the Corner…..

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 [...]
Reset the Breaker…..

Well, Old Fat Head couldn’t put one over on us today. No beach balls to save you this time. 3-0 over Sunderland and the Kop was just rockin’. I’m not sure where the Liverpool I support went and to be quite frank I don’t care. They way they were playing, it might have been a [...]
Rafa vs. the Fat Headed Monster

Remember Steve Bruce? Big fat head, big fat mouth and big fat ego? Used to play for United and coached the Brummies for years? He’s still a twat and we’ve still got a terrible record against whatever team he seems to be managing. I’m not entirely sure what kind of hoodoo he holds over us [...]
