James No. 7

"Very happy, not my no. 1 choice but still very good." Benni McCarthy was my number one choice. Anyway, this is a great coup. There's no way but up with the Welsh Five steering the ship. (Mark, Mark, Eddie, Robbie, Craig... I think that's all of them!)

That has to rank as the most over the top statement on this subject by a mile. 323732[/snapback] It's a disaster at the moment because we haven't signed any new strikers. When the transfer window closes, I am 100% sure that won't be the case at all. And let us remember it is only June 15... a long way to go yet.

I am very disappointed by this sale, but if we can get a suitable replacement(s) for him, then who am I to complain?

Erm... tell the players, coaching staff, and everyone else involved in the tournament that, and see what response you get.

Where is that button? I really, really feel the need to use it. TIA. 317208[/snapback] What, and take away half the enterainment value of the board?

probably not, however whether he intentionally planned to rearrange Van Percy's face with his shoulder is a different matter. (im thinking not) 317939[/snapback] Meh, I edited my post to correct the name... they both dive, so it might as well had been Reyes who Todd accidentally knocked over.

I have to say that I now think that I was wrong to suggest that Todd intentionally felled Van Persie in the FA Cup semi-final (although I did not think it was malicious, nor did he lose any respect from me because I did not blame him in the slightest). In the pre-match analysis of the FA Cup final, I had a look at the incident from an angle I had not seen before (almost directly behind the players), and I am almost completely sure that Todd did not intend to do anything to Van Persie. EDIT: Van Persie, not Reyes. D'oh.

It seems like we have something to cheer about. Roll on summer signings and the new season!

Good to see them back. I hope McEveley plays a good game, and that Douglas gets some game time under his belt.

I have only predicted wins for us this season, and I am not going to stop now! 1 - 0 to the Rovers, with Stead scoring the winner.

Come on Rovers!

Tactical.

Time of possession: Big Birmingham 59% to Bully Blackburn 41%.

Nice fellow, our Axe is.

Half-time. The verdict so far if anyone is watching it?

Clemence on for Anderton, so early in the game (21 minutes).

Ooh, I want to really beat this big club! I wonder where that idiot is, the one who was on here during the Savage transfer saga?

Jonny, Jonny Stead, he hit it with his head!

Pandiani hits woodwork!

Any free live radio broadcasts of this game ... anywhere?

Thanks. I try my best. I suspect a death by hanging would be called for.

Boo. We're the Bully Boys. We're not supposed to do gentlemanly things!

To add to SuperStella's list of questions to ask blind Birmingham supporters: How many of Hughes' signings have been Welsh players so far? Anyway, a 1 - 0 win to Rovers is my prediction, with Stead scoring the winner to disappoint a the supporters of a small, unsuccessful club from Birmingham.

Talk about rubbish in the media, how can Football365 justify publishing the following email in their Mailbox feature? Robbie Savage deserves a red card in every game he plays?! Now I have heard it all! This stuff is really hurting the club.
