I think we all agree football isn't what it used to be. Problem is, it's getting worse. Arab countries taking over Premier League clubs, Europe's top players both experienced and now some of the most talented being paid astronomical sums to play in the Arab greed leagues. Where is it going...

And Purslow leaving..... https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2023/june/12/aston-villa-announce-departure-of-ceo-christian-purslow/

Saturday sees the beginning of this years Six Nations championship. So, who will win it? My money goes on France, with Wales second and the rest fighting for the 'bronze' medal. But as they say, only time will tell.

I went back 3 pages to find a thread to put this, but couldn't find one, so I'm putting it here. It's a short bit of footage showing Birmingham City Centre in and around Corporation Street in, I'd guess, the 1930s. Hope you find it interesting.

Yes, I know it's early, and we don't know if we will be PL or Championship (again) yet, but it appears that the club are looking forward, so why can't we. To start the ball rolling, we'll start with Alexander Sorloth. Currently on loan with Trabzonspor, the Crystal Palace forward scored his...

Can I please draw your attention to this online petition that the Daily Mirror has today got behind. This I feel, must stop. It's obscene, outrageous and they call it a 'sport'...

A pigeon has been caught on a speed camera breaking the speed limit in Bocholt, West Germany. What made it worse is that it was flying on the wrong side of the road!...... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pigeon-break-speed-limit-germany-photo-how-fast-a8904946.html Question...

Well, someone had to start the thread. Just over 48 hours away from another away trip. McGann will be back, I wonder what other changes there will be? Whatever, I'm going for a 1-1 draw.

As you may of read in my post a few days ago, Mrs P has been told by the Home Office that she has to leave the UK shortly. This is due to her visa extention or whatever it's called being refused. As a result of this, I have 2 tickets for the Nutcracker ballet going spare. The Birmingham...

With Kev Mac in temporary charge, he finds our central defence totally decimated. How will he try to paper over the cracks? I feel he may have to call upon the Jedi if he's fit. However, I'd go for Tuanzebe and Beddau. Beddau has been playing well for the U23s so why not give him a match...

After yesterdays' disappointment again, we have the EFL Cup take our minds away for a while. So it's Burton away. Another one we should win, but will we? More to the point, how many 'square' players will Bruce play in 'round' holes this time....... yesterday it was 4! Will he play a...

Decided to make a seperate thread for this..... if not appropriate feel free to move. I found this article on the BBC website and I must say, it certainly confirms what I feel we may already know, but for those who don't it certainly opens your eyes...

Just watched Orjan's first interview on the OS. He has a similar hair style to Jack, so hopefully they'll be going to the same stylist..... together! :utv:
