Results
(Away) Arsenal 2-2: A good result coming back from 1-0 but should have won it as let in a 90th minute equalizer from Arshavin. Lukaku ended his goal drought. Goals from Verkhovtsev and Lukaku.
(Home) Burnley 1-1: A disappointing draw a game we should be winning. 4 games know without defeat. Vagner Love picked up an injury. Goal from Kadlec.
(Home) Liverpool 1-2 (FA Cup 5th Rnd): An end to another cup run. It was Adu 1st game back since his injury. Lukaku made it 2-1 on the 54th minute. After then Birmingham pushed and pushed but Liverpool hung on. Romero went up for a free kick at the end of the game he managed to hit the post from a header, if only what a story that would make. Goal from Lukaku.
(Away) Newcastle 1-1: Yet another draw. Witsel and Jenas both picked up slight knocks. I dont know how we didnt win this one but the strikers just cant score lately. Goal from Adu.
(Away) Stoke 2-1: Finally a win, 1st time for 6 games now. Lucky to win as strikers still cant seem to score enough with chance after chance being created. Goals from Vagner Love and Ninis.
Review
Hanging on in 1st but Chelsea and Arsenal will surely overtake with their games in hand. The race for the Champions League is heating up although still in title race top 4 is the main priority. The goals are thinning as the strikers are lacking form. Casey was offered the Ivory Coast job but turned it down as it would be too much as season heats up.

Results
(Away) Chelsea 0-2: Easy brushed aside by Chelsea in a solid win. Suarez with both the goals for Chelsea. 1st loss in 5. Romero made 13 saves keeping it from being embarrassing.
(Home) Middlesbrough 1-2: Verkhovtsev was sent off early in the game for a bad last man tackle. Lukaku picked up a injury. Goal from Kadlec
(Home) Bolton 3-3: Should of won had a 3-1 lead. Ledwandowski scored in the 87th minute. The equalizer was a misplaced back pass from Toloi which had too much power and just rolled over the line. Goals from Vagner Love (2) and Toloi.
(Away) Liverpool 0-5: Went in 2-0 at half time. 2nd half it got worse as Toloi was given a second yellow on the 65th minute. Liverpool went on to score 3 more after that. The pick of the goals was a chip from Gerrard.
Review
Lukaku will miss a month due to injury. The team are really lack form since the defeat by Everton and really look to be lacking self belief. The team are hanging on to 4th but have got 4 tough games. Most likely a Europa League spot but you never know. End of season update soon

End of Season Report
Results
(Home) Man Utd 7-0: What a way to hit back at recent poor form. The result of the season it seem Romero's rallying of the troops had effect of the squad. Birmingham were clinical and had luck on their side. Goals from Vagner Love (2), Adu, Verkhovtsev (2), Rooney o.g. and Foster o.g.
(Away) Tottenham 3-2: Birmingham keep the dream of Champions league football alive. Adu opened the scoring with a beautiful curling free kick. The game was end to end and made great viewing. Goals from Vagner Love (2) and Adu.
(Home) Blackburn 2-1: Just held on to a narrow lead. Adu scored for the 3rd game running this time from the spot. Goals from Adu and Emerton o.g.
(Away) Sunderland 1-1: Adu failed to make it 4 games in a row hitting the post from the spot. A Jones chip made it level after a Verratti strike put the blues ahead. Cana was sent of on the 41st minute for a second yellow. Goal from Verratti.
Review
A great end to a great season. Birmingham finished a record high of 4th and will be playing Champions League football next season, the previous record was 6th. Adu won Player of the Month and Vagner Love just finished just behind him in 2nd. Casey got the Manager of the Month award. Kadlec finish 2nd and Fabio 3rd in Young Player of the Month. Vagner Love came 3rd in Goal of the Month. Lukaku won the Year Player of the Year despite a poor end to his season and Kadlec came 2nd. Verkhovtsev and Vagner Love were in the team of the year. The 11 game win streak was vital to the teams finally position and New signing Romero made a massive impact at the back.

Aims, Hopes and New Signing season 2012-2013
Verkhovtsev won Fan's Player of the Year for the second time, the defender has been a rock since joining in 2009. Verkhovtsev also made it into the European Championship dream team as Belarus shocked all by making it to the semi final. After the competition Casey was offered the France and Ireland job but turned them down to concentrate on Birmingham. Casey soon after signed a new contract keeping him at St.Andrews till june 2014 at £33,500 a week.
Casey was then given £30.5m and a wage bill of £925k p/w, for this Birmingham are expected to qualify for at least the Europa League by finishing in the top 6. Birmingham are also expected to reach the group stage of the Champions League, the 6th round of the FA Cup and the Quarter Final of the League Cup.
In transfer news Kenneth left for Sunderland for £1.4m. Gunnarsson join Bari on loan for the season for a fee of £1.9m. Sebastian Larsson said a sad farewell to Birmingham leaving for Serie A side Lazio for £4.3m.
Casey then made his 1st signing of the season bringing in England midfielder Tom Huddlestone from Tottenham for £12.25m. Teammates Sebastien Bassong and Niko Kranjcar soon joined from Spurs for £8.25m and £7.5m. Fabio returned on Loan for the season from parent club Real Madrid after a fine season last year at St.Andrews. Joe Hart returned from Man City for £5m. Winger Michel Bastos later joined from Lyon for a fee of £3.7m.

August Report
Results
(Home) Middlesbrough 7-3: A 1st half goal fest with all 10 goals being scored within the 1st 45. Birmingham showed again that their attacking force is one to be feared yet their defence is not the greatest. Verkhovtsev was judged to have scored with his hand for the 1st goal. Kranjcar scored on his debut. Goals from Verkhovtsev (2), Kranjcar, Vagner Love (2), Emanuelson and Kadlec.
(Home) Sevilla 3-2 (Champions League Qualifier): Lukaku scored the 1st and the last goal of the game and had a major impact. A misplaced pass from Jagielka to Romero lead to a mix up allowing Alfaro to put Sevilla ahead but soon after Emanuelson made it 2-2. Goals from Lukaku (2) and Emanuelson.
(Home) Arsenal 3-1: Birmingham lead 3-0 but a late goal from Ramsey in injury time restored some pride for the Gunners. Arsenal dominated the goal and will wonder how they lost. Birmingham were just to clinical finishing every chance they had, while Arsenal couldnt get past Romero. Goals from Fabio, Vagner Love (2).
(Away) Sevilla 2-3(5-3pens) (Champions League Qualifier):What a game, Sevilla took the lead 3 times but Birmingham hit back twice. Fazio was sent off in extra time on the 105th minute but Birmingham failed to take advantage of the extra man and the game went to penalties. Birmingham scored every penalty. Romaric was the man who missed for Sevilla after Michel Bastos stepped up. The pressure was on his shoulders as he could become a huge hero to the Birmingham faithful, Bastos blasted the ball past Villar into the back of the net sending the Birmingham players, staff and fans berserk. Goals from Fabio and Vagner Love.
Review
A great start to the season two great wins in the league and through to the Champions League group stage. Verkhovtsev won Player of the Month and Vagner Love finished 3rd. Toloi won Young Player of the Month and Kadlec finished 3rd. Casey won Manager of the Month. Birmingham were drawn in Group C in the Champions League and will face Juventus, Galatasary and Dinamo Kiev, Birmingham were lucky as the group could of been alot tougher but will be in no way easy. Look out Europe Birmingham are coming....
