Great stuff! 15 games now so as you would guess im very happy indeed. Unlucky for your boys today much better in the second half but the blue machine keeps on going!

well done mate. I may not like the way you did it, but you won.

Please dont rub it in.
 
Birmingham, however I feel personally, are a good side.

McLeish is a fine manager, has built a good side, and today did have an element of trickery about it, I just am very pissed off that we have been eliminated at an early stage, some big names out, and we could of done well.

not much else to be said for me, out for this year, first half was garbage as i heard, a belated 2nd half recovery came a little too late.

Still the UEFA cup, anyway.
 
Don't worry we could make them paid in our second meeting in the league!

Personally I am not too happy with Distin performance today, too many mistake, Neville had a day off with his crossing, looks like he need to practice them a bit more in training.

Donovan should have switch over to play behind or along side Saha in a 4-4-2 formation, as soon as Birmingham went ahead or when we notice they are playing counter attack style for today.

When Senderos or Jagielka is back to full fitness, Distin would lose his place it would be Heitinga-Jagielka or Heitinga-Senderos combination at the back.

Turn out to be an mistake to start Neville, we had so many opportunities to attack on the right and cross the ball, it was more suited to Coleman game.

We had chances to get back on level term or even win it, if those chances were taken, well, you could look at this way now we can concentrate on the league and Europa League!

Go on and win it now, fella!

Personally I'm gutted. That was a real opportunity to win some silver this year.
 
We played crap. And the times when we played better we just couldn't score that equaliser although we had chances to.

Gutted but i don't unrealisticly expect them to play brilliant every week and win every game. Credit to brum they had a game plan and it worked.

If we'd of kept a clean sheet we would of won that game but we didn't, Defense is a problem. It was early in the season and still is. It needs to be strong and settled but that could take a while.

Only highlight of the game was seeing Mikel back in the game.
 
Mixed feelings. Sad our fa cup run it's over, it was probably the easiest way to get europa league next season :(. on the other hand we can now focus on the league and Sporting Lisbon, but the great thing is ARTETA is back :lol: not only that but he played very well.

Now we've got more options, we can start giving players like cahill, bily and the BIG FELLA a little breather since they've been playing non stop since the start of the season.

Hopefully things will get better and better from now on.

He has said he has followed the Moyes playbook. They looked like we use too back in the Carsley Graveson days.

You were saying bud?
 
I'm new here so forgive me but I never hear people talking trash on Howard? Does he ever get blamed for anything? I didn't see the first goal today, but the 2nd goal was just a great play by birmingham players.
