Sheffield Wednesday v Birmingham City

Post by ClaretsPadiham » Fri Feb 09, 2024 7:59 pm

Starting now on Sky Sports.

Hoping for a Brum win to put the b@stard down a place to 19th then when Stoke beat them tomorrow they will be atleast 20th could even be 21st depending if Huddersfield win.

Sheffield Wednesday are a proper football club, a big club no doubt, under achievers with a massive fan base.

As for Birmingham they are a strange club, massive city obviously Villa are the big team but Birmingham have never won much, I wouldn’t call them a big club at all ?

Are we bigger ? I’d say we are.

Birmingham have never been considered a big team in the years I’ve watched football.

They have been bigger than us in passing, around 2010 they were in the premier league and won the league cup, but they most certainly aren't bigger than us when taken as a whole, and are probably down there with Walsall and Coventry as middling midlands teams.

Brum have only had seven seasons in the Premier League and all between 2002 and 2011.

Looking at that league table I'd marginally prefer a Sheffield win.

Still 1-0 at half time.

I’ve never liked Birmingham since Robbie Blake went there

Why did Wednesday change their badge to one of a drugged up owl, it's bloody awful.

It'd be hilarious if Birmingham City ended up back where they belong...
