PORTSMOUTH v BIRMINGHAM CITY | Reaction. August Priske. The season finale. Happy?

It started at home to Ipswich Town back in August, but Birmingham City's season ended at Fratton Park, with an away game against Portsmouth. Simon Brew returns with Thoughts On The Blues to talk about the game, about August Priske's first goal, about a massive punch-up, and a hot water tap.... MY BIRMINGHAM CITY BOOK (independent!)

BIRMINGHAM CITY v BRISTOL CITY | Reaction. The last home game. Are we happier now?

Birmingham City (men's team) took to the field at St Andrew's (at Knighthead Park, obviously) for the final time this season, in a home game against Bristol City. When the fixtures were originally published, there was a hope that this game might mean more than it did, but hey! Here we are. Simon Brew was there, in Block 37, and still searching for hot water in the men's bogs. This time, he chats Phil Neumann, Chris Davies, Jhon Solis, and a very strange opposition mascot (UPDATE: which I've now been told isn't Bristol City's at all, but is a Birmingham Alabama promotion. Crikey.) To support Sarah's half-marathon, the link is here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/sarahs-birmingham-half-marathon Thank you! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

BIRMINGHAM CITY v PRESTON NORTH EMPTY AWAY END | Reaction. Ibrahim Osman. And why the roadworks?!

The penultimate home game of Birmingham City's 150th year season saw Preston North End head to St Andrews (at Knighthead Park) for a game that, realistically, meant precisely nothing. An end of term dead rubber, two mid-table teams, and the emptiness away end seen in a long time. Simon Brew took his usual seat in Block 37 for a 2-1 home win, where Ibrahim Osman excelled, and Blues took the most bizarre attacking free kick seen in some time. All rounded up in the latest episode of Thoughts On The Blues... ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

HULL CITY v BIRMINGHAM CITY | Reaction. Making a point. And Tomoki Iwata's shooting boots...

Birmingham City went to Hull City in the EFL Championship for a match that meant very little to Blues, but a hell of a lot to Hull, who sit in the play-off places. Chris Davies picked an unchanged side, and Simon Brew wasn't quite sure what to expect. But, as he talks about in this episode of Thoughts On The Blues, what we got was a third straight battling performance against a top six side. A Tomoki Iwata screamer. And that ongoing sense of where was all of this when it mattered...! --- ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
