Ultra Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Birmingham chairman David Gold is clearly feeling a little giddy and deluded following his side's promotion to the Premier League. The ageing tycoon, who made his fortune through selling porno mags and sex toys, expressed his hope that the blues would become "established" in the top flight, and even launch a potential challenge for Europe. However, Gold struck a surprisingly self-righteous tone when discussing the more realistic prospect of his side continuing to yo-yo between the divisions. He said, "We won't be a Leeds, Southampton, Leicester etc. We won't bankrupt the club". Who the hell is he, with his background, to look down on us or even on Leeds? Perhaps, instead of indulging in needless digs, Gold should be asking himself why crowds at St Andrews this season have been lower than those witnessing League 1 football at either Elland Road or the Way. Could it be because during his time in charge, the brummies have never looked like landing a major trophy, or even finishing in the Premier League top 10? The only reason he is still in football is because his plan to flog the club to a Hong Kong-based buyer failed. When his team, as they will, return to their natural home in the lower leagues, I won't exactly be consumed with grief. The blues have always languished in Villa's shadow, and while the porn barons continue in charge, they will stay that way.
Darkzzz_ Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I would love to bash his brain in with a Chris Powell penis plaster cast.
TrickyTrev Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Well to be fair the reason they have had low attendances has nothing to do with Gold's lack of ambition. Far more to do with the fact they haven't got many fans and they charge too much for tickets!
Corky Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 We are bigger than Birmingham, no doubt. Bigger attendances (despite their huge catchment area), more trophies, more trips to Europe, more seasons in the Premier League. In the last 15 years, our achievements comfortably dwarf theirs.
Koke Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 They must be the most pointless club in the Midlands. Even Cov have more purpose about them, and that says a lot. Tinpot club, tinpot fans.

Matt Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I quite liked Birmingham,the only other midlands team I didn't mind, maybe not anymore, cockend.
Ultra Posted 6 May 2009 Author Posted 6 May 2009 Do we have any linkage? Here it is. The comments are also on the BBC and Sky websites..
Dr The Singh Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I never liked Brum City, but it wasn't really much of an attack though, people forget we spend stupid money in the prem on crap players and got relegated!!

Corky Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Here it is.The comments are also on the BBC and Sky websites.. Can't stand him, along with Sullivan, who's no better. Neither is Brady to be honest.
Darkzzz_ Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I would do Brady. Karen that is. Of course it is an attack, he is mocking us whilst trying to say Birmingham will be the next big thing. I hope they get relegated.
Ultra Posted 6 May 2009 Author Posted 6 May 2009 I would do Brady. Karen that is. Before saying something like that, maybe you ought to consider how she may have hooked up with the porn barons in the first place. You might find her allure suddenly starts to fade.
Darkzzz_ Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 Before saying something like that, maybe you ought to consider how she may have hooked up with the porn barons in the first place. You might find her allure suddenly starts to fade. I hear her and Peschisolido are regulars at the gold sex toy test party's.
General Smuts Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I would love to bash his brain in with a Chris Powell penis plaster cast. I'd love a Chris Powell penis cast! Before saying something like that, maybe you ought to consider how she may have hooked up with the porn barons in the first place. You might find her allure suddenly starts to fade. That only makes her more alluring to me.
Darkzzz_ Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 If your reading Chris, you know it makes sense. I expect you to be throwing penis casts to the fans next season and not your shirt.
General Smuts Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 If your reading Chris, you know it makes sense. I expect you to be throwing penis casts to the fans next season and not your shirt. If you're reading this Chris, i'm thinking of you. And i'm naked
Ultra Posted 6 May 2009 Author Posted 6 May 2009 I think they'll finish bottom next year I don't. Whoever wins the playoffs will probably have that honour.
Guest Posted 6 May 2009 Posted 6 May 2009 I think they'll finish bottom next year I think you may be right, they'll be fulfilling the west midlands whipping boy role in the Prem for the season
