Goals, Goals, Goals? BCFC v Peterborough preview

Match previews sponsored by EZE Group - Lifestyle Experts

Tomorrow sees the return of the Championship to St Andrews with the visit of Peterborough United. It’ll have been three weeks since the last home league game and sixteen days since the thrilling draw against Club Brugge, so I suspect I won’t be the only fan chomping at the bit to watch Blues in action again.

Flak for Fahey

I guess it’s probably the same at every other team, but it seems that Blues need one player to be the goat – one player to blame our woes and our strife on, the one who holds us back. Cameron Jerome, Damien Johnson, Liam Ridgewell – it seems every year there are players who are picked upon because they “don’t score enough goals”, or “are too limited” even though they may be a playing a team that doesn’t score enough or is limited. This year, it’s Keith Fahey.

Can Blues Stop the Seagulls to Make it Seven? Brighton Preview

It’s been some time since we last played Brighton and Hove Albion – sixteen years in fact since the last league meeting – and both sides have gone through some changes in that time. The Seagulls come to Blues having made a decent start to the season under Gus Poyet, and with Blues on fire formwise recently it promises to be a good fixture.

Off to Partizan: Brugge Preview.

Match previews sponsored by EZE Group - Lifestyle Experts

It’s twenty four hours until the Brummie invasion of Belgium and judging by the mood on the fora and social media out there people are in an advance state of excitement. I know I am – the idea of so many bluenoses converging on foreign shores in the name of football just makes me burst with pride. Normally, for a preview I’d look at teams etc but as this is a bit of a special game, this is a bit of a special preview.

Foxes come to St Andrews

Ye Gods and little children, football at St Andrews this weekend. It feels like an absolute age since our last game at home – well, three weeks is a long time I guess. And yet I have this massive feeling it’s going to be an anti-climax with so many fans looking forward to the trip to Brugge in midweek. However, Sven is coming to town and thus I present my Leicester preview.

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.
