The rise of Birmingham City

[kaebi kabab]

Just drew with untied for 12 games unbeaten Impressive given most their players bought in was free or from championship clubs

Ones to watch: Joe Hart and Chucho Benitez

[elnino99]

They are in an unbelievable form
unlucky not to win today, that Benitez mofo is fast and furious
but again, it's all down to a GOOD COACH

[radin119]

joe hart is a great keeper he was really good at city
dumbass hughes went out and bought given

I was really impressed by Chucho. His quick turn in United's box where he got rid of 2 defenders reminded me of Cole in his best days.

that's key to their success

had Nosrati joined them, they would have been relegated to coca-cola league 1, instead of clinching PL promotion

^No. Guys, dont you know its not BC being good, but the refs being horrible and not calling it in favor of ManU (Fergies b*tchin again...)

[Kaveh Ahangar]

form is temporary, class is permanent. their performances over the next 2/3 years will determine if they have truly developed into a decent side to challenge the top 6.

Everton was playing great and getting good results before yesterday :|

and Birmingham are unbeaten in 15 games in all competitions now, last loss was against Arsenal @ the Emarites in the beginning of October.

but to keep their record, they have a very difficult task, they must hold Chelsea @ the Bridge on wednesday.

I hate Chelsea, but I don't want United to win the title, so I don't know who I'll be cheering for on wednesday

you can sta as a nueatral

I think Birmingham have been very good, simply because of the hard-workingness of their players. Carr (expereinced) right back is proving his worth. Two hard-working bullfighters in Ferguson and Bowyer..

Benitez,Jerome,Mcfadden, all good attacking players..

Birmingham survives off anti-futbol. sit back with 10 behind the ball and counter attack.

I don't think it's anti-football.

Everyone wants to play attacking? you play to your strengths and not weakness. Stoke play long ball tactics, because they have 10 players who are 6ft+. Arsenal play the beatiful passing game, because all the players posses great technical ability. Birmingham are making games tight, and then counter-attack. It's bringing results. Results decide games.
