May be one of those games here, I certainly don't see Brum coming for anything other than a point.They're hurting in the goal scoring and are being killed by silly defensive errors, all the hallmarks of a team at the bottom of the league.

If we could bag an early goal - and seeing as we're a far better team than United - I think we could go on to win big in this one.

This could be a blowout, but Birmingham could also raise their game, as weaker teams have been known to do against the larger ones. I'm not really worried, however, they really aren't strong in any area of the pitch, although Dunn (is he fit?) on his day can be something special, but that's about it. Is Jarosik there on loan, and if so, can he play?

No FSC tv? Christ, looks like I gotta do the whole:

Get home from work, agonize and try to stop myself from checking the score, download the game for 4-7 hours, and then watch it.

I only succeed at that half the time, it is just so nerve racking.

[JoshDB]

Gallas saves Clemence's shot on the line. Phew.

[Clan]

Do keep up the coms please.

[Carefree in DC]

Chelsea 1 Birmingham 0.

Crespo on a beautifully set up goal.

[JoshDB]

Gudjohnsen is definately not a passing player. Tried to feed through Crespo but overhit it. Quite a bit.

Crespo on a beautifully set up goal.


so how did they set it up then?
