    I just know it is commonly seen in flowers and fruit and stuff.

    And the golden ratio (had to look that up as couldn't remember the name :emoticon-0102-bigsm)

    Hoping to god it doesn't mean a team not listed will now go on to win 21 league titles in a row.

    Birmingham getting a bit carried away tbh ...

    ... how many people 'never stopped talking' about Reading's 'legacy'.

    "Everyone will know what we've done - Birmingham's 'legacy'."

    Birmingham City manager Chris Davies says the "legacy" his record-breaking League One champions have created is "special" and a "remarkable" feat.

    Blues broke the Football League record for most points in a season with a game to spare with Wednesday's 2-0 win at Blackpool.

    That victory increased their haul to 108 points, surpassing the mark of 106 set by Reading when they won the Championship title 19 years ago.

    "Think how many football teams there have been, how many seasons there have been," Davies told BBC WM.

    "And we are the team to have got the most points in the history of English football. To achieve 108 points is truly special and a remarkable achievement.

    "I had spoken to the players about the legacy we could leave this season and the mark we could make in the footballing world.

    "I have been drumming it into them - to chase a record like this isn't a club record, not something that people will brush over. Everyone will know what we have done."

    They spent like 15m on a striker in League One FFS. They've underperformed <laugh>

    I see Tom White appears to have been cleared of all the rumours of last year.

    Have to say I think they are entitled to ham it up a bit. That is a local news station he is talking too. So almost directly to his own fans. I am sure they will talk about it amongst themselves for years to come. We still talk about our own 100 point season now.

    I think it is an excellent achievement. Although I love records in football being broken. Birmingham and Burnely have both set historic records this year. Good on them. On Birmingham we know league 1 is no easy place. They have a good squad no doubt, as did we to be fair but couldnt get near what they have done. The difference may well have been the choice of coach. I was pleased someone went for Davies and he has done great so far. I thought Ross was a great pickup by us, but he fell short. All in all though this is a historic season for Birmingham and worth some good old excessive boasting, they have earned the right.

    I get your point but this doesn’t sound like he’s just talking to, or about, their fans …

    "I had spoken to the players about the legacy we could leave this season and the mark we could make in the footballing world.”

    They’re playing teams like Crawley and Cambridge with a team that went down by a fluke …

    … it reminds me of Newcastle and their cup win which most people have already forgotten about.

    Don't know if anyone has watched the latest overlap episode with ruud gullet, talking about his time at the skunks and when he dropped shearer against us. At the end of his talk about finding it hard to change things up there our boy keano says "plus the fact there's a bigger club just down the road in sunderland" :emoticon-0169-dance
    Would've posted the clip but don't know how to but it's near the end if anyone watches it.

    One of the best days at the SoL for me. Atmosphere was immense, especially 2nd half
