We shouldn't even acknowledge their bitterness as it should be more or less just another game to us. But it's hard to ignore the sheer level of vindictiveness and bile emanating from South Birmingham every time there is a derby on, and not feel a tremendous amount of schadenfreude.
In any case, Smith is a breath of fresh air and I'm feeling some man-love for the fella at the moment. Better performance and results, scoring goals, way more entertainment and all this despite a somewhat ropey defence. It should improve when the window reopens. A shame we didn't get him in at the start of the season.
