To be fair though, form goes out of the window when derbies are concerned. We're at home too. And the Baggies have been picking up points. They are due a loss and we are due a win

.

Plus me and my dad are at this one.

We will win the Birmingham derby.

Villa 2 - 1 West Birmingham.

Basically I'm over the Newcastle loss but if we fail to win we are gone imo.

Since when was Newcastle v Villa a derby? And what's with "West Birmingham"??

I'm talking about the Baggies match. The next game is West Brom at home.

West Bromwich means West Birmingham, derived from historical local names for the city such as Brummagem, Bromwicham and so on. If you look at a map it is to the west of the city centre. There are loads of places in Birmingham with names like that. Castle Bromwich, Bromsgrove, Bromford etc.

They don't really like it when you say this. As well as Smethwick.

Kompany at fault again as well.

Local knowledge, huh?

Man like Benteke.

We deserved that. Would have been so harsh if we'd have failed to win. Okore looked shaky early on but what an interception

The feels when we won that penalty.

Fair enough Benteke scored the pen, but I am not a fan of that style of penalty. Stop doing it please.

Michael Owen is the funniest footballer/ex footballer going.

He's actually bullying this youth player here. The banter is all one way

Get in!!! Wembley here we come! What was that ref on though? Also, who was that presenting MOTD tonight?

Enjoyed it.

Delph kissed our badge after his goal, then got stuck in after the match when people invaded the pitch, joining in and bouncing around.

He met my cousin after the match as well. Delph gets us and I love him.
