Always liked the Brummie derbies, and some good chanting in this one... "one Gareth Barry" met with a chorus of boos and returned with "one greedy bastard".

No idea which set of fans are singing which part though!

I loved the observations... which was bascially along the lines of

"wouldn't it be funny if Curtis Davies scored... with his head!"

Why are these two not massive rivals, when their closer to each other than any other set of teams in the region?

Locally they are huge rivals Dave, but it's only recently that they have had games against each other again and got national coverage.

You're right with that, and Villa traditionally are rivals with Birmingham but with the bluenoses and WBA yo-yoing up and down for the last 5 years then this one has definitely developed.

 West Bromwich isn't in Birmingham. The Brummie derby is Blues v Villa.

 WBA v Wolves is the Black Country derby.

So this one hasn't even got a proper name yet. Better get Sky tv on the case!

2 0 to Villa now.

I do like Villa, in Big Brad and MON they have some of my favourite football people on their staff.

Potentially could put out an English XI as well I think?

I put my hands up for making this mess, I should have referred to it as a Midlands derby rather than a Birmingham one.

Reg wouldn't have had to get his hands dirty if I had been more vigilant at the outset.
