Is that the chap on Ron's left? At least put a tie on!

The blues players seem to have funny shaped heads, whilst Birchy is having a great time!

On the subject - walking through the grounds to club shop the other week and there is no consistency anywhere on the colours - eg on the signage, railings, etc all different shades of C&B

Post by: somec on October 13, 2016, 08:55:17 PM: The Blues kits seem to be lacking the club badge.

Did they play like that all season?

Post by: Five Villa Tattoos on October 15, 2016, 03:23:52 PM: I too was thinking about this one the other day.
Sir Graham and BFR looking dead smart and Pendrey looking like he's come straight from a labouring job somewhere and has stopped off for a couple of pints on the way.
How happy is Steve Sims to be standing next to Carlton Palmer? Gary Shaw looking like he's about to kick off!😂

The centenary of Birmingham becoming a city? Think it was around then.

Post by: curiousorange on October 29, 2016, 03:31:41 PM: I remember seeing this picture posted on here years ago. I can't remember who posted this response but it made me piss myself: "Look at Pendrey, the scruffy c***. Looks like he's about to drink a mug of tea with about ten sugars in it."
