What a difference a week makes. Birmingham City have not only gone and beat someone, they have completely demolished them and dominated the game. We aren’t used to this, we were used to either sneaking a 1-0 win or getting beat comfortably by teams. Monk has completely changed this side around and I can’t believe […]

Just a young football fan who likes to get his opinion across to others. Love Birmingham City, although it is difficult at times.
As We Journey On #9: Comfortable Cardiff, The Blame Game, Players Fault And Hosting Hull
It seems nothing is changing for Blues, in terms of the results they are getting. We are definitely showing progress under Monk but the players are still making stupid mistakes at the back and we desperately need a goalscorer. The Cardiff game was a prime example of what our season has been like, trying to do […]
As We Journey On #8: Forest Failure, Cotterill Out, Monk In And New Era Starts
I found myself asking a familiar question again this week, “Where do I start?”. There has been a lot of drama since my piece last week. We have played two games, one being the last for Cotterill and the other being the first for Monk. One thing I am looking forward to in the future […]
As We Journey On #7: Barnsley Beating, Cotterill’s Future, FFP And Complete Madness
Where do I start this week? I have been asking myself this question all week and whenever I learn something new. Things seem bad currently with Blues, but this may be the best it’ll be for a while. I’m going to try and explain what’s happening in the easiest way possible but there’s a lot […]
Modern Era Legends #3: A Liverpool And England Icon
Welcome back to another instalment of Modern Era Legends, the series where I go back over the last couple of decades and highlight the careers of personal heroes and football legends. Today’s piece brings a sort of mini-series into the main series. I mentioned at the end of my last piece that I would be […]
Paul Robinson: The Warhorse
My footballing world came crumbling down on Thursday 15th February 2018 when Paul Robinson announced his retirement from football. He was known amongst fans as Robbo and that’s what I will continue to call him in this piece. Robbo went on to make a career total of seven-hundred and sixty-three appearances for a total of […]
As We Journey On #6: What The Hell Is Going On At Our Club?
It’s been one of the worst weeks in a while for us bluenoses and I am going to admit, I almost didn’t want to write about us this week, I was that ashamed of being a Blues supporter. After sleeping on the thoughts after that embarrassing display on Tuesday at Brentford, I thought “No, I’m […]
Modern Era Legends #2: A Samba Shot Stopper
Welcome back to Modern Era Legends where I look at my footballing idols from the past couple of decades and try to explain why they’re a legend to me and how much they meant to my footballing life growing up. Last week I had the pleasure to look back on the fantastic career of Pavel […]
As We Journey On #5: Derby Despair, Meeting Millwall And Everything Inbetween
This week hasn’t been the best for us bluenoses. We had Derby day and we will get into to that next. We just came off the knockout blow from Huddersfield in the cup and it started to seem that we were going back to how we were before the new year. I’ll start off with […]
Modern Era Legends #1: A Czech Legend
The lead guys on this site have, for some reason, allowed me another weekly slot. I have no clue why they have allowed me to do this, especially with the topic I will be writing about, as I’m a Birmingham City fan so we don’t really know what good football is. Jokes aside, this new […]
As We Journey On #4: Sinking Sheffield, The Dream Is Over and Derby Day
In this week’s blog, I am going to introduce a new segment in the piece as the transfer window has now closed and there won’t be any rumours for some time. Instead of me reporting on the transfer news I will be giving a brief report each week on the player we currently have out on loan. […]
As We Journey On #3: Holding Huddersfield, Sinking Sunderland And A Crap Window
It’s been quite a busy week for Blues and this blog will be a treat for you readers as I’ll be reviewing two games and previewing two games! Please hold your excitement though, as the transfer news, or lack of should I say, will kill the mood. Anyway, let’s get into it. The Dream Stays […]
As We Journey On #2: Decent Point, Dreadful Window Prospects And An FA Cup Dream
Before I get into the blog, and I promise this will not be a regular occurrence within these, I wanted you to be aware that I had the honour to go on the Tilton Talk podcast. It has always been a dream of mine to be a regular podcast host and to take the first step into […]
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 […]
