BIH Results delayed

I’m a little slow with this one (you can blame the titanic hangover and exhaustion post-Maribor), and if you’re already aware then I can only apologise.

A Mad Mission to Maribor

When I was at university, oh so many moons ago I grew tired of drinking in the same old watering holes in town, and thus my friends and I decided to undertake “mad missions” whereby we’d go to another city (as far away as we could), get legless, and then get home – all without sleep, and all within 24 hours. Maribor, well… it was just like that.

Don’t Believe The Hype

One of the hardest things about writing articles for this blog is writing about something not happening. If there is something reported in the media that’s going on, I can link to it and cite my sources; however it’s an impossibility to prove that something isn’t happening because of a lack of information. With this in mind, please bear with me with this article.

The Stuart Parnaby Affair

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

It’s been quite the busy weekend for me personally, and so it wasn’t until I’d finally returned home late on Saturday evening that I heard the news with regards to the non-signing of Stuart Parnaby. There’s been quite a lot said on the net about how the situation played out, and I thought I should add my two-pennorth for good measure.

Pannu: You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

With the news of the imminent return to these shores by Peter Pannu, there has been much discussion on Twitter and Facebook about the idea of Mr Pannu answering fan’s questions on Tom Ross’s radio show. I’ve been mulling over the whole idea for a couple of days, and I can’t see how it would work.

Positives in defeat

Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials

Well, it wasn’t a cricket score. Although Birmingham City have now fallen at their first hurdle in the defence of the Carling Cup, it’s not anywhere near as bad as it could have been; if anything Blues have come out with a bit of credit from the fans who did go and we’ve one less thing to worry about in our action packed season.

Jealousy

Tonight sees Birmingham City travel to the Etihad Stadium to play one of the richest teams in world football, and it’s made me think about the whole Manchester City question – ie is their financial model good for the long term future of football? It’s a clichéd question though, and what I think is more valid is how the ownership at Manchester City has changed fans’ viewpoints on Blues ownership.
