With Halloween coming up I went to a fancy dress shop to buy a Dracula costume. The girl offered me a Birmingham City shirt. I said to her "Sorry love, I think you misheard, I said I want to look like a count."
I utterly hate this fixture...wish they'd scuttle off to their natural habitat of Div 2 and playing up at smalltime seaside resorts..
They will raise their game, it's their world cup final, we already know that. We also know they are shit, we've beaten them 8 of the last 12 times, let's not make out they become decent against us, they still are shit, have always been shit and always will be shit. They are the shit. Let's put them to bed with a smacked arse today. A tough game, but we have strong, experienced players. Villa by the odd goal.Shame it won't be Gabby to make the defeat complete.
I get the feeling they're due one today. Mind you, I'm always the same about this fixture.
Ignoring the opposition, this is an important game to establish ourselves in the promotion pack.
If there's one disappointment about the 18 is Grealish not being on the bench although it's understandable. He'd have loved to have come on and scored.
