It's never a good sign for a football club when there is more to discuss off the pitch, rather than on it. As Blues fans we've been through the mill several times before and you could even argue we take it in our stride pretty well. One thing we do know though, is that it never just rains.
You just can't beat the soundtrack of the Cov Road on a match day. The burger van generators and calls to purchase "Made in Brum". It's like that warm feeling you get when you've been away on holiday and you pass that building or shop that lets you know you are only 5 minutes from being home. In the 15 or so years I've been going down the Blues, I still get the same feeling every week... even more so on the first day of a new season.
Before I get into the nitty gritty, I would like to ask you a question (and would love to hear your responses and reasoning). If Harry was still in charge, do you believe we would have come away from Pride Park with a point and held onto the lead on Wednesday?
"The buck stops here" is an expression that originates from poker, where a marker or counter (such as a knife with a buckhorn handle during the American Frontier era) was used to indicate the person whose turn it was to deal. If the player did not wish to deal he could pass the responsibility by passing the "buck", as the counter came to be called, to the next player.
Welcome back! I appreciate the we haven't quite fulfilled the weekly element of the Weekly Blues recently, but, fear not! We're here to stay and we've got plenty of things to say. Let's dive straight into a bumper edition round up of the last 7 days or so that saw 3 games played out.
