I do think realistically Blues need a win tonight to keep their season properly alive - 7/8 points with 11 games to go is achievable but a pretty tall order when in and around the Top 6 is as clustered as it is this season, Boro would possibly take a point but will deep down want a confidence boosting win

Blues do not lose many at home, it will be a good game to watch as a neutral, goals in it I think - Boro will play how they played against us and Blues will pick them off and win 2-1 imo
They need a win to arrest the slide. If they fail to win, Ipswich will overtake them if they win their games in hand and could even do so at the weekend if QPR beat them next weekend.

With Millwall, Ipswich and Wrexham to play, they’ve got some 6 pointers coming up. I wouldn’t want to be in their position, whilst we have tough fixtures coming up, they’re mostly at home where we’ve been flawless under Lampard.

Morning all

We’re inconsistent away as Millwall showed (beat em 4-0 at home) but pretty solid at home. Hoping we can do you lads a favour this evening.

I take it we can rely on your support 😃
How's Kyogo doing for you ? I always rated him at celtic

Always found their fans welcoming when ive been and they generally speak ok about us other than the 10 year old outside the away turnstiles with a fag in his mouth giving us all the Vs and questioning my sex life when they beat us 1-0 a few years a go
Exactly this. We walked away from the playoff game there past their main home pub and to a man they were congratulating us and saying they hoped that we win the final and were nothing but complimentary.
Their fans always come across as a decent bunch to me unlike the Ipswich idiots gloating like they'd won the champions league after the games at theirs and our places.

I've just filled about 18 black bin bags full of stuff and put it in my front garden. Me and the wife and just moving the settee out into the street in front of the house and me and a mate will carry the fridge freezer out later to go next to it.. All I need to do then is to find a pair of second hand Lonsdale trainers in a size 9 and I am full on Blues for later. KRO....me babbies.

The owner blatantly uses technicalities to get round FFP rules. I don’t have a problem with that but I do when he then tries to take some moral high ground to take legal actions against other clubs which could finish them.

He tried to get us relegated from the premier league when he refused to play a fixture and moaned at a points deduction.

Fans are just fans - all have an equal share of behaviours but you see on here those who post are deluded about Gibson. He’s got round every regulation going and views the club as his pet project and cares nothing about anything but that.

I love chimneys, Tom Brady and especially Stansfield who I absolutely have never abused and think he always scores bangers.
I reckon Lisa Stansfield would be a better striker, but I'm all Blues tonight. I don't mind Blues, one of my work colleagues supports them and my neighbour is a Blues' ST holder who goes on the train to matches from Warwick.

On another note, I don't like the chimneys, but they might not happen anyway, you know how these designs always change. Like our sliding out pitch....KRO, etc etc

Ipswich will go ahead of Middlesbrough tomorrow if results go their way.

We all love the old grounds don’t we? I used to love the old Highfield Road which was one of my first away trips in the early 70s. Yes I’m that old!

The new stadium is needed if the club want to progress. St Andrews, although in the best state it’s ever been is in a horrible area now whereas the new one will be nearer the city centre and in the middle of a modern sports quarter. Knighthead are literally developing a modern state of the art addition to the city centre similar to resorts world by the NEC. It will benefit the city as a whole and create tons of jobs and opportunities.

The design of any ground is always subjective. It’s different which is good but the chimneys take some getting used to but new ideas always do. The fact that our rivals will be able to see it from their ground amuses me. The 62,000 capacity is aimed at other events but we can and will get bigger crowds. We can all remember going to the likes of West Ham, Spurs and Newcastle when they had sub 20,000 gate.

I welcome it and after a sad list of chancer owners the current ones are the type we used to dream about. Genuine and loaded
Shit grounds in shit areas though are what makes a football ground special. Intimidating for away fans walking through the terrace houses surrounded by home fans. Stands so close to the pitch the away players can hear you breath. Intimidating for players and fans alike.

Unlike all the generic, industrial estate bowls you get nowadays. CBS, MK Don's, Derby, Leicester, Rotherham..... I could go on. Though the CBS is starting to feel more lile home now, its still not got the character and draw that HR had. And it'll be the same for Blues when you move to the chimney stacks.

For obvious reasons of us winning League one at your place I have a love for St Andrews. I enjoyed having a season ticket there - loved the pre and post match pub crawls in and around Digbeth - my wallet didn’t!

I also think the new ground will be quality. Proper unique identity - will look forward to being an away fan there one day.

Fingers crossed you beat boro tonight 🤞

I think the time you played at ours changed a few perceptions of Brum and its people. I’ve always thought that in the main Brummies are the friendliest of people

In an ideal world, I’d like us to finish too with Boro second. Back in the real world, I don’t want any of the chasing pack gaining ground so it has to be a blues win tonight for me.

Ok, see where you’re coming from….
