Not unless a necromancer is at work in Birmingham.

Sad tale in a way even if he was a total idiot in that situation.

[LVFox]

Birmingham have the very start of a decent side, but not at the level most thought they would be yet…still back them for play offs.

Shocked that Brendan’s apprentice sits back on a 1-0 lead.

 

Ipswich back to late goals, but will be classed as the underperforming favourite as opposed to plucky underdog this time. McKenna had clear patterns last time and they seem to have just disappeared, not sure why they’ve switched to two out and out wingers.

 

Hard to not feel arrogant but…we’re a fair bit better than these aren’t we?

[kingpowerout]

Absolutely love seeing all these predictions that we’re going to finish 14th or 7th or 12th…can’t wait to see Mav, BEK and Abdul scare the shite out of the rest of the league on Sunday afternoon.

Hutchinson, Philogene & Akpom will make a massive difference to this front 3

 

but nothing seems to ever stop the lucky last minute goals 

Hutchinson is expected to leave the club.

Not sure how true this is, but Grealish is an absolute gem if so. He always comes across as a good egg.

Hirst seems like a bit of a knob!

Not getting a shot on target from open play, scoring a penalty and shouting "that's what I do" to the fans of a newly promoted side.

I bet our points deduction gets added on Monday

I'd say that it likely is true.

 

I've also seen / heard / read somewhere that Grealish scans through Just Giving pages donating where he see's fit.

 

Never get why he's like some panto villain.

I think people get the impression he's cocky because of the floppy hair, flair player and on-pitch attitude. He's apparently a lovely bloke off the pitch, similar with Declan Rice.

[FoxinNotts]

Phew! We stay in ninth place. Just a point off top two

[Chelmofox]

Ipswich utter crap but the EFL gods still giving them the rub of the green. Cant wait to see Abdul and Monga playing against that defense.

 

Birmingham did alright there, but think they are going to find it tough if they lose their heads easily. 

 

The way we played against Fiorentina makes me feel like we are in a good spot for this season.

[Bert]

Glad neither of them won  

[Jabfox]

Fvck me I’m excited for this season now. Hope the lads are really up for it

With his arm up there and the ref having given it, VAR would not have overturned it. It would’ve still been a pen. 

Not if it was adjudged as a natural position.  You try to jump and not raise your hand ✋️ 

 

The ref was crap whole game

I  suppose the trouble is there will be another incident like that with a penalty not given and yes guess that inconsistency would be frustrating but don’t think that particularly decision was a howler .

 

That isn’t to say he was a bit fussy  generally .

Ipswich love a jammy stoppage time equaliser

Because there's been other incidents that give evidence to the contrary. You could even be cynical and say that's a publicity stunt if true, as it would obviously get out and then it's even better publicity as you didn't seek acknowledgement for it.

 

Regardless, if that's true, fair play.

Still not sure why he got a yellow card for that? 

 

Ronaldo can do his folded arms shite, Mavididi just sat there and got a yellow. Bollux!

Another draw tomorrow please - Mighty Saints against Even-Mightier- Wrexham!

[OntarioFox]

Time to make some money 

 

[CrazyKopCorner]

There’s really nothing to fear in this league. Surely we’ll be there or thereabouts. 

[Pliskin]

Well if that’s what we’re up against then we will be a force to be reckoned with. Imagine either of those defences having to deal with our attack? I mean, if that’s demonstrate the absolute chasm between the two leagues, then what does?

Nope - want Wrexham to be stuffed. Overhyped.
