Birmingham City – 1 Nottingham Forest – 0 It was quite an interesting turnaround this evening – I was surprised that Billy significantly altered his team to accommodate some of the players who’ve found themselves on the periphery.

The aftermath of Derby’s collapse against Scunthorpe took another amusing – but also quite a saddening – twist with Robbie Savage kicking off at a local journalist supposedly for spreading rumours after the game.

However, it’s been worth the wait to have read through Kenny Burns’ book, ‘No Ifs Or Butts.’ Being a fan too young to [...]

This game is pretty damn huge. Sky must be delighted that a game they picked some time ago has taken on this level of significance – a real test of our still unreal-seeming push for a top two place. The Baggies are two points ahead of us, and also have a game in hand, so [...]

Here’s an opportunity to spend an evening in the company of a couple of true Reds legends – born and bred ones at that. On 21st January 2010, Viv Anderson and Garry Birtles will be at The Approach to take your questions via compere Darren Fletcher. Just £10 gets you in, or £30 if you’d [...]
