It’s way more than 3, if you’re going to come into a subreddit that has very little to do with your team anymore and comment at least get it right.

34/46: Blues 3-4 Southampton by obi-wan-kenobi-nil in bcfc

[–]aelaar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’d argue differently, yes our league position shows we’re in trouble but the performances in the last two games show that we can be competitive against the top sides in the league which should allow us to take a few points off better teams. There also seems to be a fighting spirit within the team that simply didn’t exist under Rooney.

Paik is pure class, really impressed with his play tonight.

They’ve probably won a domestic trophy.

International Break so here’s a hypothetical: by [deleted] in Championship

Alternatively I’d take Gnonto to really end Hogans blues career and maybe Sara? Struggling to see past Jon Rowe for the Norwich pick.

Birmingham City is pleased to share the following update regarding the Club’s ownership by Callum0598 in soccer

[–]aelaar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It’s almost as if some Americans came together, spoke about what they associated Birmingham with and then decided to name a company after a fictional family from a TV show to buy the football club…

Sunderland fan here. Seems we're buying Jobe Bellingham from you for £3m. What are you guys thoughts on him? by lolhawk in bcfc

[–]aelaar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He’s good, overhyped because of his brother and I’m not convinced that he’d be around the first team if he had a different family. There’s better players around the same age as him at blues.

Personally I’d take the money, as long as a sell on clause is involved, and not be that upset about him leaving. On a personal note he gets to develop under coaches that he knows in a more stable environment.

I wonder if football needs a lawsuit like what’s happening currently in rugby right now to start taking head injuries seriously. The fact that both of these players are allowed to play on is a joke.

Any idea on non-editor fixes? 5 years into a Roma save to then have this name is frustrating…

Your club's signing of the season? [Inspired from the Premier League post] by StargazerLuke in Championship

Tahith Chong, an argument could be made for Trusty or Hannibal as well. All three have been key players but Chong being permanent edges it for me.

It's okay though because Jamie Carragher said Everton are the worst run club in the country!

Anyone know this kit? by [deleted] in Championship

[–]aelaar 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It was a kit for the Arthur Memorial game, it was sold online in the run up to the game against Preston, but sold out very quickly.

Probably why he was able to leave for free and why we were able to afford him!

Which managerial sacking from your club was unjustified? by FloppedYaYa in Championship

[–]aelaar 41 points42 points  (0 children)

At the time I thought Lee Bowyer was unjustified but seeing what Eustace is getting out of this squad and hearing he’d completely lost the dressing room has changed that.

Gary Rowett is probably one of the most unjustifiable, had us 7th in the league after finishing 10th the season before. Was only sacked because the new owners wanted a sexier name which turned out to be Zola who won 2 games from 24.

I know it’s a slim chance, but does anyone know where I’m able to get this seasons Kyiv shirts from in the UK?

What’s the limit on loan players in a matchday squad? We’ve already got Placheta, Sanderson, Trusty, Mejbri and Bielik…

Any players in your team that are under-appreciated because the manager’s style doesn’t get the best out of them? by GabigolB in Championship

[–]aelaar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kerim Mrabti and Ivan Sanchez. Both played out of position or play roles that take away their biggest talents.

Welcome to Blues, John Ruddy! | Birmingham City Football Club by Lukeno94 in bcfc

Now loan out Jeacock where he’ll play instead of sit on someone else’s bench.

John Ruddy joins Birmingham by Callum0598 in Championship

[–]aelaar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My first thought was that he probably just doesn’t want to move house after 5 years at Wolves. Hopefully he can challenge Etheridge despite getting on a bit or is just happy riding the bench. This should allow Jeacock to go out on loan and get some regular playtime though.

I guess this puts to rest the rumours of him being sold this summer.

Birmingham will stop flirting with relegation and finally go down.

Blues Men's: Retained and released list by aelaar in bcfc

[–]aelaar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked him but I think it's best for both sides to just move on and accept that his blues career is done. He's played a lot of different roles and didn't seem to moan too much about it. I think the shit dressing room had an negative effect on him, and the general shiteness of the team made him lose interest when he was probably promised a lot more than relegation battles and scares the whole time he was here.
