If we don't win this, I will retire from match thread starting. They are not a good side; mind you, neither are Wigan. We have the skill, the players, the need and perhaps the fire. We'll find out. Birmingham would be an ok city, if they didn't have that terrible accent. Like a liverpudlian with a speech defect. The team? Let's just hope thjat we get some pace and goalscorers in the side. COYI.
I feel obliged to respond to you Norway. Hmmm, one of the reasons why I am trying to move away is that I don't want my daughter to get a Brummie accent. Birminham City are struggling this season. I rate Alex McLeish as a manager, what he did with Rangers and Scotland are proof of that, but Birmingham are different kettle of fish, without the resources of Rangers nor the firebrand of Scotland. They have a punchers chance, James McFadden can score goals. Kapo and Jerome are a cut above the rest, but I think Kapo is out. I need to win this game so that I can leave the house.
I was sure we would beat the micky mousers,did'nt like the wigan game,northern monkeys,this game has a draw written all over it,just the west ham way,hope im wrong,anyway the games live over here so me and lez will be shouting down the crown!!(hopefully Gordon will turn up).
The game is being shown on a delayed basis on Canada's wet coast. 9.15am instaed of 7.00am. Setanta is showing Sunderland and Wigan live. Wow. that should be exciting. Tough decision for me. Do I live and die with you guys or do I wait and watch as if live?
Sorry Brum, it wasn't meant to be a personal slur. Blain mate. I reckon you should watch it, as if it were live, but as a penance you should be forced to listen to Jasper Carrot for two hours. Molder. Stop it please.We are going to win this one.
The team? my guess would be this: Green Neill - Ferdinand - Upson - McCarthey Ljungberg - Mullins - Noble - Etherington Cole - Ashton Subs: Wright, Solano, Faubert, Spector. The game is live down here in NZ, and the time isn't too bad either, on the down side though, Lawro's predicting a 2-1 win for the Hammers.
No probs Norway, it's MrsB who is from here rather than me. And in any case we live in Solihull, not Birmingham. I keep getting told off for not making that distinction, as local snobbery dictates. The only interesting thing I can think of about Solihull is that Jim Hacker MP, from Yes Minister (subsequently Yes Prime Minister) had it as his constituency. I always recall the episode when he had to rush home because Aston Villa were playing Liverpool and he didn't want to miss the match.
I want to see Faubert, Bellamy and Ashton start; Ljundberg and Etherington can alternate, and Solano is also available, I assume. Let's use the best we've got off the bat, and get off to a strong start.Cole can come on when Ashton gets tired. We need early goals.
Mrs LA is ironing me Dagenham Motors shirt as we speak, leave plenty of elbow room so i can tackle the half time bangers.
Norway says I should watch as if it were live however you seem to know me better than most. Still I hope to enjoy it more knowing that we have stuffed them. Talk to you in the morning.
He's right, you should watch it as if live later. But we wont will we. And if we even tried we'd end up like the likely lads learning the score five minutes before the kick off.
Classic programme that used to be, here's a short video cip of the likely lads. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrBqHUu9R_A&feature=related
Looking at the list of fixtures in March .. better take the points here. No tv for me today so I will listen live.
You'd better ask your Maggie what better possible gift could there be for Valentines day could there be than a romantic package of foreign football (sorry, soccer) channels for the TV. I'm betting it will be on the setanta extra channel (670) live. After all they claimed to be showing it last week
Morning all. Team: Greeno. Neill Anton, Upson, Stellar Freddie, Bowyer, Mullins, Ethers Ashton, Cole Bench: Wright, Specs, Noble Fubar, Camara
live on TV setanta 670 Bloody missus has scheduled a meeting with an insurance agent for 15 minutes time. Bugger Bgger Bugge! Ashton fals to direct the round kicky thing towards the big netty thing.
