It's pretty decent, not worth £105 though that's too steep.

The usual £80 is about right I'd say.

If it doesn’t sell out, it’s hopefully a message to Doug King that £45 for a second division game is too much ( plus the exorbitant children’s prices)

This one will be close enough to a sell out that it will be seen as having worked.
The West Brom game could be more of a signal. But if both teams are still going well then that will probably be a decent crowd as well.

It depends on two things, your location and your upbringing.

If you live East of Coventry, or North-East, so Rugby, Nuneaton, Beduth, Lutterworth your accent will be east midland in sound. If you are from Tamworth, Solihull you sound like a Brummie, one because there is a large overflow of Brummies there so you would easily pick up the accent. When we had a car industry many coventry based workers spoke with broad Brummie accents because of working with Brummies.
However, if you received RP at school you would barely have an accent. I had RP and few people know where I am from. Likewise, more and more primary schools focus on RP so accents are less noticeable in children, this maybe sad but even if I met the most beautiful girl in the world with a black country accent I would bypass her, as I would with scousers.

Being married to a scouser is not too bad - you do have to get over the scouse natural traits. So she thinks she's funnier than she actually is, and yes her voice gets louder in public areas so that someone eventually asks if she is from Liverpool. Then there is the standard "my aunty dated one of the Beatles" stories that all true scousers seem to have. And finally the most annoying trait is the scousers inability to be able to take the banter coming back at them despite dishing it out it in shed loads to everyone else. The amount of jokes my wife has had at City's lowly league position for years.....such as claiming for repetitive strain injury on her finger as she has had to scroll down so many league tables on her phone to find Coventry City. Then when Everton were in relegation trouble....feck me that was not a time to laugh at that in our house I can tell you!

When we used to get the team leaked well in advance there would often be discussion about it giving the opposition an advantage.

At todays press conference Lampard point blank refused to answer any questions about injuries so as not to give any information to Birmingham ahead of the team sheets being handed in.

I remember as a kid going on school trips and us all being called Brummies.

As an adult on school trips that’s not what ive been called.

I’ve done the hospitality once and bloody loved it. I told myself…3 course meal, match ticket, and all the booze I could manage.
Still expensive and wouldn’t wanna do it every week but as one off/every now and then I could justify it.

Thats because there's no change from last week. Pretty simple to not say anything when absolutely nothing has happened

They’re pretty solid defensively and our attack looked very limited last week without EMC. Wouldn’t be shocked if it’s another 0-0.

Don't agree actually, we got ourselves into good positions pretty often but struggled with the final ball.

It was also against Leicester away. Huge overreaction by some to what was a very good point.

I really didn't like how we played against Hull, but in all the other league games we've either passed up great chances or at least great attacking positions. I would much rather have EMC in the side than not though.

Of course, EMC is a very good player, still underrated by many i think.

Feeling positive for this one. We've been playing well recently, but not putting away our chances the last couple of games.
3-1 win

Happens a lot in the US. It’s because they’re all a bit dim, and even the expats catch that bug eventually. Check out usskyblue’s posts…

Would love to see a statistical analysis of how a hotel fire alarm translates into results.
