◾Birmingham are winless in their last seven league games (D5 L2), keeping a clean sheet just once in that time.

Now, where the hell is Snapski? Go on snappers, have a gloat!!

I'm not gonna gloat. And I still think you'll find enough resolve to finish lower mid-table.

I'd be seriously surprised if you finish above us though. I think our squad is streets ahead of yours at the moment.

This could be your year, Champers.

"This could be your year, Champers" to finally finish above Leeds United for just 1 season?

Let's see eh, Jonny. Something tells me this is just the beginning for us, it's not like we've thrown our eggs into one basket...we're a progressive club and have taken sensible steps to get to where we are, and we'll continue to grow. Whilst many wouldn't want to admit it, you'd love to be where we are now.

We would love to have a "normal club."
