The Wrexham dickriding is starting to piss me off “Bielik got sucked into the occasion…” They’re playing bloody Wrexham,I dont care who owns them. It’s still Wrexham! Laughable. Remember a joke from 'They Think It's All Over' years ago... "I love a Saturday afternoon up the Wrexham!"

I think Birmingham are going to walk it this season. Their squad is ridiculously strong and they've played some great football tonight while still trying to gel 11 individuals together.
The best chance we've got is them dropping points early in the season because from November onwards they're going to clean up

Football is rarely that predictable. They played well tonight...much like we did two days ago. It's a long hard season and Town won't be far away...with a bit of good luck and good health.

A frenetic game which suited the home team I thought. Wrexham disappeared after 20 minutes but a better plan would have been to slow it all down I reckon.
Don't think Brum will be run away title winners as some think...

"I love a Saturday afternoon up the Wrexham!" Was that the same episode that Bruce Grobbelar was on? Amidst allegations of betting, Nick Hancock, said: “Grobbelar was speaking before next Saturdays 2-2 draw v Sheffield Wednesday”

Thank goodness that’s out of the way.
The fact that the shite and the hype is creeping down to L1 level disappoints me.
The money that Brum have spent means they’re just taking a lead from many other clubs, sticking the V’s up to the authorities.
And there will be many who say their owners are being ‘bold’. It’s more that they’ve realised that cheats do prosper in modern day football…

Wrexham are a good side, it’s just that Birmingham are so good them made them look poor.
It’ll be extremely tough for us to get autos imo.

No, they're not a good side at all, they're not better than Town put it that way. That's twice I've seen them and they're bang average. They'll probably get in the play offs as everyone is blowing smoke up their arses, increasing the hype.

Wrexham looked like a hard working side, for about 20 minutes and then they looked what they are. A recently promoted 4th division team with a number of older players who've recently joined the club.

Dont care if Birmingham win every game till May as long as we get enough points to get promoted.
We play them twice, so its just 6 points they or us can win, the rest is up to us not them and their spending.

Tom Brady showing up at the Birmingham Wrexham game tonight reminded me of this song, which is about football, and ends with 'fuck Tom Brady'. Imagine Robert playing it through the horrendously loud PA after we beat them at ours in January

Does Nicholls parry a weak shot back in play? Does Helik leave himself stranded in the box to head out a cross?......Wrexham had the Blues on the ropes but couldn't deliver the fatal blow, two weeks tonight Huddersfield Town WILL.

You could argue our 1-1 draw with Brum denied them the 2 extra points they needed to stay up...ha ha ??

Jesus. May off Dykes on. Some collection of forwards they have got. Some might say the same about us. And not sure what Dykes has done for a while to be seen as any kind of goal threat

We will grasp onto any comfort from last season😉 Honestly though I dont care what they do other than the two games with us. Their 'future' issues with the spending will be interesting though.??🤔

Tom Brady - what a dick. Talking about the psychology he can bring to the team and then giving it large when they scored - like it was some sort of level playing field. They've spent £35m on player transfers!! Pretty much 35 times your average League 1 team. Throw in all the crazy wages they're paying and that (and that alone Tom) is why they're winning important games like last night - nothing to do with you pal. Fair play to the Birmingham fans - they've been a sat-on kind of club for decades now so I don't begrudge them some joy - but Brady comes across as a complete cock. You've bought the league mate - try turn it into some sort of sporting achievement if you like but everyone else knows that it isn't.

The worst part about that is that they've spent £1m on a keeper and still have Peacock-Farrell in net.

Could be a PL fixture in 5 years as the Talkshite guys say. I can see Brum getting there but not convinced Wrexham are so much better than us.

I still wish our US owner had splashed a few million though..midfield general and a striker...
we're in danger of being accused of being jealous of Brum and their high spending Yank....?

Just saw someone mention that Birmingham's squad cost £36 million. Is that more than our 2017 Premier League side cost? Must be close.

If, and its a very big if, City get dicked by this enquiry, then the future may look quite different in football finances.🤔
