Championship

Bronze shine brightest: Championship crowds brex Europe’s best efforts.

Like Bowie’s ‘Jean Genie’ in 1973 and Ultravox’s ‘Vienna’ in 1981, quality doesn’t always get to the top. A league table of European attendances was published recently and nestling third behind Germany and the English Premiership sat the English Championship, hardly lifting its head to notice, but just getting on with keeping its hand on […]

As We Journey On #1

Before I get into the blog itself, I want you to know a bit of background on me, both related to Birmingham and to football in general. I was born in Birmingham and lived in Birmingham for eighteen months before moving to South Derbyshire due to family reasons, however, I was always brought up in a Brummie way. I’m […]

Mickey Mouse Cup Anyway

As it goes, we lost to Swansea last night. I wasn’t arsed about it anyway. We made eight changes last night with Costa, Douglas and Doherty retaining their places from the draw at Barnsley last Saturday; Doherty and Douglas kept their places because we literally haven’t got anyone else that could have played there as […]

Pre-match Press Conference: Barnsley FC

Speaking at the club press conference today, Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom talked injuries, new and potential signings, and on the opposition. “We’re a bit light at the minute in terms of numbers, Adam Jackson has come back in, […]

The Nuno Revolution: Game 25

Nuno Espirito Santo can probably walk on water, in fact, I’d be surprised if he couldn’t because our game on Saturday against Bristol City was something else. Do you want to know the best thing about it all? He did it whilst being sat in the director’s box after getting sent off for the second […]

No fun in the big smoke

For the third time this season we failed to win in London but it could have been a lot worse and in hindsight, a point is a good result away at Millwall. You’ll recall in the preview for the game I touched on the fact that they saw off Middlesbrough and Sheffield United whilst having […]

23 games and counting…

Another game, another three points on Saturday for us as we continue our assault on Reading’s Championship record and as we hit the halfway mark we are on track for 108 points if we match what we have achieved in the first half of the season. That beats their record by two points, but I […]
