Birmingham City formerly known as Small Heath Alliance were formed during the second world war in 1943 by local business magnate Debra Gouldas
Did you know that they were the first English team to reach a major European final when they were runners up in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1960 playing teams like Barcelona and Inter Milan along the way.
Bob Latchford and Trevor Francis are the only two famous fookers I can ever remember playing for the Blues, but I do remember our very own Terry Cooper getting them promoted back in the 1800’s
OMG I have just realised that Debra Gouldas is an anagram of our favourite fighter pilot!! And another fact related to this is St Andrews is the only English ground ever, and I mean ever, to be shut due to an air raid during WW2.
Fans of this Bovril supping club are known as the Bluenoses, and back in the early noughties they had a hooligan element called the Zulus as I remember. You will be more likely to see Zulus at Rorkes Drift than anywhere near ER on Saturday.
Some famous games with Brum from the past
Week before playing Liverpool in the 1965 final and I think the first time we played them in the First Division
26-04-1965 Birmingham City 3 Leeds United 3
FA cup Semi Final
15-04-1972 Birmingham City 0 Leeds United 3
Arthur Graham hattrick
14-01-1978 Birmingham City 2 Leeds United 3
1996 League Cup Semi Final-both legs
11-02-1996 Birmingham City 1 Leeds United 2
25-02-1996 Leeds United 3 Birmingham City 0
Last 5 matches against Brum. We have lost the last 3 games and won the two before that
https://www.worldfootball.net/report/championship-2018-2019-leeds-united-birmingham-city/ 1-2
https://www.worldfootball.net/report/championship-2018-2019-birmingham-city-leeds-united/ 0-1
https://www.worldfootball.net/report/championship-2017-2018-birmingham-city-leeds-united/ 0-1
https://www.worldfootball.net/report/championship-2017-2018-leeds-united-birmingham-city/ 2-0
https://www.worldfootball.net/report/championship-2016-2017-birmingham-city-leeds-united/ 3-1
Over all we have played Birmingham 38 times in the Championship, and the record is more even than I would have ever have thought
Played Won Lost Drew GF GA
This is where the pie chart should be and is who is going to buy the first round. it was based on tight northerners and rich southerners, and a gentleman in BB (he was the one in green)
I wish our wingers could beat their man and get a few more crosses in the box, and ffs lets have a few more shots on target
Luke Ayling, Luke Ayling down the wing cross the ball,
Lets just hit the target between the bales of hay
Paddy will hold the ball up well and hopefully not have too many shots himself, Dallas, Klich, Harry, Costa and Forshaw for sure to score the goals
Again there was a chart here showing how we would beat them with our tikka takka but alas it disintegrated on the road to the getting here As I say to my comrades on the farm Moscow now

Quality MDT and good luck Batty....pity there's no racing tips so we could know which horses to avoid. Going for a tight 1-0 victory with Eddie notching late on.... Think we're wearing a special one off kit for this game? Quality post Luby about Batty being on drugs when I think it's YOU who's been dabbling with them. Why would Garry Monk be smirking cockily if Brum win!?😂

Following on from meeting strange blokes in bars on holiday, I met yet another Leeds season ticket holder having lunch on our boat trip on the table next to me in a really small picturesque town in the middle of nowhere....got back on the boat and another bloke came up to me who goes to many games....! Hopefully they talk to me cause of my small Leeds Smiley tattoo and not for any other reason.... We're not famous anymore....

Dear Mr Bielsa. Can you try and fit Eddie into your plans a bit more. He scored three goals last night. It's worth repeating that, three goals. Something that's been in short supply recently. just saying like.

With recent b*llocks form, i hope we can come back from an international break in positive fashion. I think Harrison has been concentrating too much on his defensive duties in training, needs to learn his offensive side again. It's a good time to bring a hopefully fit Pablo into the team and if Forshaw was fit, then i would also bring him in. MB will most probably start again with Marmite Bamford. Can't fault his work for the team but sorry he is there to score goals, so naturally he should be in the box. On the other hand, if we had midfield scorers from his lay backs or hold up play, then he would be invaluable. Personally at home i think we should start with Eddie. Our biggest problem is mentally, we shoot when we should pass or cross and we pass and cross when we should shoot. I can't see us scoring more than 1 again (maybe another own goal), so 1-0 or 1-1. If however in the meantime we have realised that we have to put the ball in the net to score a goal, then it could be anything, 5 or 6-0.

Pablo missing out, played 30mins yesterday so must still not be 100%. As feared MB persists with Berardi at CB and Eddie, as always on the bench. Can't say i'm optimistic, but this probably means we'll win. Let's hope so!

Relief is the correct word Danish. It remains very hard for us to find a goal. No easy wins for us, no nails left and not good for me thicker either.

I just want to say that I must apologise profusely for lack of facts in my opening post I said that there was no chance of Zulu's being at ER yesterday, but apparently they were there, and with their customary bravery managed to over come a lady steward in a scuffle having the advantage of numbers. Well done to them for rearing their ugly heads once again, the rest of the world must be quaking in their boots
