He who laughs last, laughs longest.
I am going to savour every moment now as Villa plummet down to the depths of the National League and reform as Aston 1874 or something, playing in the Southern League Division One East with Sutton Coldfield Town. All those years lording it up over us are now...
A lot of Birmingham fans have moved on. If you want ‘bitter’, take a look on the Derby forum.
There is still a lot of misconception that Rowett was harshly treated at Birmingham but in reality he was whoring himself out to other clubs while still under contract. He courted the Fulham job to...
Yeah, the video’s inconclusive but there’s a 20 second gap off camera from when Davis fouled Diedhiou to when they came nose to nose. It didn’t look like the reaction of someone who had been spat at though.
