I didn't realise you guys got Laudrup, he's quite a scoop for you guys. I like the Welsh so it's nice to see a Welsh team in the Prem, hope you guys stay up. I see you guys have picked up Johnathan De Guzman on loan, he's quite a prospect and is at the age now where he should hit his peak, I'd be excited about him if he came to Brum.
Prefer Swansea to Cardiff just because Twin Town is such an awesome film. Now go and win the FA cu-P so you can have triangular flags.
Looking forward to the new season. Might be up for a ten bucks wager over the season, so long as whoever is keeping the monies safe is trustworthy, ie a 1000+ reg poster or a mod.
It's cool, my ex-flatmate/good friend was a big Birmingham fan! Hughton was a boss manager, not surprising he ended up going up to the Premier League.
Glad you "like the Welsh" Definitely hoping we can stay up, amazing first day and Michu is looking amazing. Apparently he was Laudrup's signing so a lot of respect for him already Twin Town is an awesome film, watched it far too often.

I think Man U will take it and the Championship will be between Bolton and Cardiff. Sheff Utd and Rotherham strong faves in the other leagues.
We (Saints) kick-off at the Etihad tomorrow. We're favourites for the drop but, trust me, we'll be okay, lay us for relegation and make some easy money. Tough start mind - Wigan, United and Arsenal follow City - so there could be value in getting on after tomorrow. Very nice run-in though, 8 or 9 winnable games at the end.
City is always a hard opening match - then again, it's a hard match any time of the season. I'm not decided on whether getting it away with at the start of the season is better than it ruining morale half way through a run of good results, but it'll be interesting to see what the score is. Swansea lost 4-0 to City on the opening day of last season and it still worked out OK Then again, Bolton beat QPR 4-0 on the first day of last season and got relegated
