Reflections on Birmingham City v Blackpool

My reflections on today’s match: 1) Nikola Zigic IS a good player Whilst his goal came about from a bit of fortune, it was also because he was in the right place at the right time. His goal against Arsenal has obviously given him confidence, and his touch was just superb at times; always looking […]

What a difference forty eight hours makes. A friend of mine on twitter, @chrisquinn3 wrote this piece where he eruditely explained Rooney was right to say he wanted to leave Manchester United, due to the lack of ambition that the Red Devils currently have. I commented at the time that if it really wasn’t about […]

It was announced today that Dr Bruno Wu Zheng has been appointed to the board of Birmingham City Football Club. As many blues fans aren’t that au fait with Chinese millionaires, I thought I’d do a quick write up about him. Dr Wu is a very rich man. Ranked as the 207th richest man in […]

Zigic

Tomorrow Birmingham City entertains the blue half of Liverpool in what promises to be a tough game for both sides. Blues, whilst being unbeaten at home for a calendar year can’t score for love nor money and Everton have had a very poor start to the season. What worries me most of all tomorrow is […]
