Carlisle farmers must be able to pick whatever partner they want, who could resist a (wo)man with land?

Which city has a bigger population than Birmingham? We aren't the second city.
Not sure if Im missing something here? London 7 million plus, Brum just under a million, Liverpool just over a hundred thousand less than Birmingham is 3rd.
Those figures look very inaccurate.
Lazy internet search
yeah your miles out, boundary lines can differ though London / Greater London etc , but yeah you've googled the wrong numbers.
Being pedantic, I didn’t google the wrong numbers, I googled UK city populations, but I couldn’t be arsed scrolling past the first set of results.

The City of London has a population of 11,000.
Oh that old chestnut! You had us confused there. In reality London is around 8m. Birmingham 1.2m That's purely city boundaries before you start counting the actual conurbation sizes or metro area.

Nah, that's Greater London. Birmingham is biggest city.
No it isn't. "The City" is the ancient and current financial heart of the capital. The city of London consists of around 32 boroughs which has a population of around 8 million. That's the accepted definition of the city of London. Greater London extends out roughly to the M25 and has a population of nearly 14 millions. The last census puts the city of Birmingham not including the wider conurbation at around 1.25 million double the size of any other provincial city in the UK and is universally accepted as the UK's Second City. I apologise for inadvertently starting this debate when I pointed out how crap our transport network is and how that's holding back the development of our club.

Birmingham is tiny, it's just nicked loads of Worcestershire, Staffs etc over the years...

No it isn't. "The City" is the ancient and current financial heart of the capital. The city of London consists of around 39 boroughs which has a population of around 8 million.

Nah. Greater London is a county, like Greater Manchester. Including all the bits outside of the actual city is like saying "France has a population of nearly one hundred million... if you include Belgium and the Netherlands".

Birmingham is the most populous city.

Can someone draw a new kit or post an AI picture of a 40 storey high Villa Park holding 600,000 with more bars than Benidorm?

Please?

Don't encourage them, I think I'll kick the chair from underneath me if another one starts.

So you think people should only post it they're bringing something new to the table?

I hope the more sensitive on this site can be cushioned from all puns.
