They are also making the news with a possible takeover, Gianni Paladini has but a formal bid of 30 million in for the Midlands club. Bristol City, Currently the championships out of form team, with no win in 8 and a current losing streak of 5, City will look for there first win since Peterborough away on the 18th of September. The Blues were ousted 1-0 on Saturday by rockbottom Ipswich Town in Mick McCarthy's first game in charge of the Tractor Boys. Lee Clark's men face the Championship's out-of-form side in Bristol, who have lost their last five and are rooted in the bottom three.

will be similar to huddersfield, to ****e teams who can't string a pass together but birmingham will have 1 chance and win it 1-0.
[video=youtube;YsZa3rGRsXk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsZa3rGRsXk[/video] Just to start off with a smile.... B/ham 1 - 2 Bristol City ..
Can remember that game the bastards throwing stuff from the building site as we were still locked in. Helicopters circling above, they didn't like being beat did they Brum 0 City 2 This is the turning point.
Sorry ROD can see nothing but a Brum win here, I think at best we can hope for a point, The charlton game will be our turn around, hit a few past them, then blackpool then we will start making our way up the table, but im afraid we have to stomach one more loss
We just cannot defend and confidence is rooted to the floor. 2-0 to the Zulu's met by further strong demands for the removal of our Manager even though there is nobody available to replace him IMHO. OTIB will blow a fuse!!
Thanks for the video Wiz. Went to the match and some cheeky kid demanded 50p to "mind your car mister" Feeling generous I paid him and he then said "Now I got enough to go to the match" I asked who would mind the car and he pointed to his 2 year old brother. I always was a suckerwith money! Still great win that day so perhaps something nice like that will happen on Tuesday evening.
I also went to the game that was The David's and Karen Brady's first game where we won 1-0. Asked the same thing Cider Abroad except I was charged a pound. I paid feeling sorry for them, my mates laughed saying I was a soft touch. Walking back you could see all the cars that was not a soft touch minus their car radios, and one window, best pound I spent
On paper its a home win, however our revival has to start sometime, so it's Birmingham 1 City 2 for me..
Well what we having for a team selection ill go for .....................Heaton........................ ......................................................... Foster...Fontaine...McManus...Briggs ......................................................... ...............Elliott........Skuse................ ......................................................... Adomah.......Anderson.......Woolford ......................................................... ......................Baldock.......................
2-2 Baldock has got to score again surely??? I think this game will suit us, would love to see Albert and Wooly on the wings. We will come under a lot of pressure but i think with pace we will make chances on the break. Take a point here then the revival can start!
It may well be my heart speaking but I have a fancy we might get a result tonight. Whether it's because Marv's back or maybe because they're in deep sh*t with their fans I don't know but I just have feeling we'll sneak it.
