Match Day Thread Southampton vs Birmingham, Sat, 28 Oct 12:30

A familiar story

 

It's the same old song. It'll be different when Manning's gone.

 

Might depend on the Brum's wingers. I wouldn't be surprised if KWP was kept at RB against Preston because of Miller, who was a speedy little bugger.

 

I read the comments thread on the BBC match report after the birmingham v hull and the brummies' are not happy bunnies.
it sounds like they think their owners are idiots and the managerial appointment in Rooney is awful.
they sound a bit like our fans after we lose or win or draw. lol

 

Pay no attention. Sunderland, Boro, Rotherham, Preston, all were on poor form prior to playing us. I'm not falling for it again.

 

Unhappy Brummies then?

 

.

 

So again after last night we have another game on sky TV.

Are we great to watch or just a laugh.

Goals guaranteed I guess

 

Blimey, their fans have turned on Rooney quicker than we turned on Jones. Damn that's impressive

 

The game will kick off and we will immediately play with the same tempo and urgency as if we were 3-0 up. **** all will happen for 30 mins when they have a shot from 25 yards which goes in.

The next hour will pass by with us playing like we are still 3 up despite losing then we will equalise in injury time when our players decide to attack using their natural instincts and **** off the instructions given to them by Wish Guardiola

 

My memory of playing Birmingham was at St Andrews February 2012. A 5.20pm k.o. It was cold and snowing, Danny Fox got sent off, 0-0 and it took 4 hours to get home on frozen motorways.
It was the last time we played each other and for that day alone they deserve a stuffing. I hope their fans shrivel in the Southern heat.

 

Yep I was there. It was ****ing freezing and a terrible game.

 

Birmingham have always been the most deluded fans in the football league. And they absolutely can't handle being in Villa's shadow all these years.

 

Any anecdotes? Can't say I've ever actually met any of their fans.

 

Nah, no anecdotes; I was just making a sweeping generalisation based on the few I've known; who definitely think they're a Big Club.

 

Fair enough

 

More deluded than Everton ?

 

There are other contenders, of course. But isn't there some law of nature that says Everton, however much of car crash the club becomes, can't be relegated?

 

We can only wish...

 

Think it is more the decision to appointment him rather than turning on the manager. Although the negative effect it has on the coaching and playing squad is probably pretty much the same.
