Loan signings are like Super Bowl halftime shows (This is my desperate attempt to link an article to current events, just go with it) After watching the same bunch of blokes chase a ball for what feels like forever, a new element arrives to re-energise proceedings and add a spark of excitement.

I’ve decided to break away from my usual weekly round up today, and have a natter about the season so far and how it could have been. There is no doubt that with his hands tied behind his back, Garry Monk has done a marvellous job. However, after a last gasp equaliser Tuesday evening in […]

The Buildup Blues travel to Swansea for the first time in 11 years this evening, with Monk hoping that his return to the Swans will end in with a positive result. Monk’s Blues are without a win in five, but victory tonight could see Blues go as high as ninth and on to 42 points. […]

Like Santiago Munez in the film ‘Goal!’, I’m back in the football world after a short hiatus. Some of you may have read my drivel in the past on another Birmingham City blog but I’m happy to say I’ve found a new home at We Are Birmingham. For any of my old readers that may […]
