Bloody West Ham or Stoke at Wembley, and you just know for a fact Blues will beat Bolton and get Stoke in the semis and end up in another final. Although seeing them lose two finals and get relegated would be amusing.
Hitz's caps were mostly in a period when Germans were very poor. He never made it as regular choice in key games.
If Blues lose both Cup Finals they will probably qualify for Europe. Balls to that.

They still bang on about being the first English team in Europe... even though they weren't, and they only entered because Villa couldn't be bothered.

I thought they did win it? Beat Tranmere in the Final... Big John Gayle hat-trick. That was the European Cup wasn't it?
