With half of the transfer window gone Blues have signed Michel who would have been established in the side now had the two Davids and MS Brady had not been anticipating the Yeung take over.  After all who would fit a new bathroom if the house was being sold? Alex was told that Michel was not for sale but the Directors of Sporting Gijon were keen to take the cash and...

The Blues go into the first Premiership match of the decade, welcoming the League Champions Manchester United and may well be slight favourites. United are comparatively in disarray but like all wounded beasts should be treated with upmost caution. After last week’s defeat by Leeds in the FA Cup the last thing United would have wanted was a semi-final against local...

Happy New Year to the readers and Writers of Blues Net. Incredibly Blues picked up 32 points from 20 Championship games and 32 points from 20 Premiership games.  Another Year of such symmetry would do nicely for 2010. Alex’s Blues forget League action tomorrow as they travel to Nottingham Forest with a record in the FA cup that is less than impressive. Twice under...

After such a tough day against the League leaders on Boxing Day the last thing Blues need is a trip to Stoke 48 hours later to take on the most physical and aerially minded team in the Division. Christmas is also a tough time for your correspondent. Having sat through the TV presentation of Saturday’s game and listened to Keegan and Matt Holland discussing the offside...

Merry Christmas to all Blues fans, Players and Management. What a Christmas we all can enjoy. The progress of the team and the Club has been remarkable. We go into the big game against leader Chelsea on Boxing Day able to go to the match just to enjoy the sceptical. Of course a win would be fantastic and not as seemingly impossible as the Londoners visits have been in...

Blues return to Merseyside on Sunday chasing an unprecedented 6th straight win in the Premier League. In order to complete that record they will have to overcome a 54 year bogey of no wins at Goodison. David Moyes will not be able to influence where any penalties are taken but watch out for the Ball boys disappearing if the home side go ahead. Blues fans are long used...

Blues fans were hoping for a bit of a goal glut against West Ham but it didn’t happen, mainly because our chance conversion rate is so poor. Blackburn comes to St Andrews without a goal in their previous four Premiership matches but have kept clean sheets in the last three. With Blues top of the current form League, which means that at this moment in time Blues are...

In five previous visits to Wigan, Blues have yet to win and have managed just 2 draws, one at the old Springfield Park and one at the JJB Stadium. The Stadium is now named the DW stadium after the self important Chairman David Whelan. It’s with him I want to bring up a gripe. When he took over Wigan Athletic were barely a Fourth division side while the Rugby League...

If Blues players survive the week’s training in the appalling weather then Alex Mcleish is almost certain to name an unchanged squad. Jordon Mutch included on the bench for the Fulham game has been shipped off to Hereford. Under new rules he will be available for Blues Youth cup tie at Altrincham against Manchester United. A far more sensible arrangement as all clubs...

Those of us who sat through the disaster at the Cottage on that sweltering May day in 2008 and saw Blues all but relegated after a2-0 defeat will think that we owe Fulham one. Fulham who had been written off as relegation certainties for months had all but escaped. Incredibly for a side that had hardly won an away game in three seasons Fulham won at Man City, Reading...
