Well, we've won in the last 6 derbies. Who's to say we won't in this one?

Villa 2-1 Bluenoses. Young, Heskey - Gardner.

Ooh didn't know this was on today..

Hopefully it'll be a good game, couldn't care less who wins.
 
Should be a good game, normally is.

2-0 Villa, Birmingham aren't playing particularly well atm.

What time is this game on btw?
 
I have a feeling it's going to be a scrappy 1-0 Birmingham win. Zigic to score

A good game of football in a Midlands Derby? Good luck with that one. :P

EDIT: Er, anyone want to hazard a guess at Villa's formation? Because I am absolutely baffled. I THINK it must be like this:

Friedel
L Young - Dunne - Clark - Warnock
Collins - Reo-Coker
A Young - Sidwell - Downing
Heskey

So we're playing 5 defenders, and Steve Sidwell in a creative playmaker role. WHAT. THE. CHUCKLEFUCK.

Might work with Heskey up top though

Sidwell works alright in an attacking position, I'm more worried about the fact that James Immobile Collins is being put in midfield.

PANIC OVER, Ciaran Clark is in midfield, useful player that he is.

****** FOULING Gary Gardner ******! Good for you Nige, get in his face.

HT, 0-0. Advantage most definitely Birmingham at the minute.
 
Sidwell's beautiful, he works well in every position.. ;)

Sidwell in an Attacking role... Neh!

Sidwell's more of a defensive, ball winning midfielder which is calm on the ball..

But if it works (Sidwell in attacking role), very well :)
 
This is a horrible game. Birmingham having the best of it recently, maybe Villa on the attack more now.
