Birmingham City F C

After the up, the usual down. Top of the league for a while and now about to crash through the rafters.
We have spent shedloads of money, at over inflated prices, on ordinary players who although not without merit at their own clubs will be turned into non entities by our manager and his staff/crock.
On top of this we have three, yes THREE, of Arsenal's rising starlets on loan whom we are going to be very dependent on because they are better than anything that we have in our locker. Now I am not against loans per se. - to cover for an injury crisis or a lack of depth in a particular area of the squad. But to take three, who will expect regular first team football to gain first team experience etc. is bordering on the insane for obvious reasons.
However this time there is a difference - the long suffering fans are exasparated - not only about the above but because of our over cautious and boring football. Apparently the rule is you avoid defeat at all costs (a rule which was broken at Cardiff yesterday, and good luck to them). We have set out to either draw or win by a single goal. As I promised exciting times lie ahead.
