Get out of it Redknapp, we know its actually you.
Birmingham fan wandering in. I will be leaving promptly if any Villa fans bully me though, be nice.

Being mean to us is like kicking a homeless person in our current state :frown:

At least your club plays in the city of its name. I would say we're homeless but for that to qualify we'd have to have been kicked out rather than left of our own volition.

No thanks to the owner though!!!


He was going to sell the ground but the council have said they will stop him.

I'm the ultimate optimist, we can play very well but the inconsistency of him picking the squad seems to be having the most impact at the moment, we were good against Burnley, pretty much dominated them in places, and then Macheda changed the game. We did have a turnaround of 11 players in transfer window and lots of injuries so considering our money issues and everything else I think we'll be fine :smile:


You going Milwall?


Switched threads to somewhere more relevant



Same story at Wednesday last week to be honest. It felt like Clark put a team out without ever having seen Wednesday play. Having watched Wednesday all season (boyfriends a Wednesday fan) I just have no understanding as to why we played everything through Burke when Helan is an absolutely class player.

Nah my next match is next weekend against Bournemouth. I live in Leeds so London mid week is a bit far!!!

Things will improve for the both of us :smile: have faith! At least we have someone that wants to buy us! :smile: plus with the blues trust, St. Andrews as a community asset and all the press we have been getting something is bound to happen sooner or later

I wish I was as optimistic as you! I've never seen St Andrews as dead as it has been this season!!!

You could buy Crystal Palace for the same price they are asking for us!!!

Even when we are dead tho, as in number of supporters the atmosphere is always singing, even in strong hail! :smile: why would you want to buy palace......that's just....i can't believe you compared us to...them.

I think I've spent too much time at Hillsborough. Can't knock our away support though, its been excellent all year.

Well, only in terms of cost. Of course we are the far superior team :tongue:

I've been watching Wednesday for two seasons and always rated him!!! Did an amazing job sitting on Burke last weekend. His distribution could do with some work though!!

Birmingham have things a lot better than we do and that is saying a hell of a lot. Also, the FA have just publicly stated they want nothing to do with the situation-so kind of them to shaft clubs in need.

Yeah the FA are useless, were just lucky to have such a good local council
Do I dare utter the words: "Next season will be our season".



​Already predicting 10th place next year. Our defence is absolute dog ****.

I've got to say I'm very disillusioned with football at the moment. To be more precise, English football, for allowing this shambles to continue and not lift a finger about it.

SLF has his bizarre doubts on the German system but for me any model that prevents farcical situations as that at Coventry should be applauded.

Did the League allow that crook to take over the club then?
