Birmingham City Vs. Coventry City: 2-1 At Halftime

It's still anyone's game at St. Andrews, with goals from Marlon King and Richard Wood answered by a quality strike long-range from David Bentley. On chances, Birmingham might think they should be ahead, but that's not how football works, and Coventry have been able to put theirs away while the home side has not. I regret expecting a boring match now - it's actually pretty exciting, but that's more to do with how bad both sides are, especially on the defence. Here are my notes from the match:

  • Balloons!
  • I love it when Mike Dean is the match referee. Whenever anyone says his name I think the Beastie Boys are here.
  • Nikola Zigic is an awful, awful footballer. He should play basketball.
  • Whoever bought Nikola Zigic to play football is stupid.
  • Therefore, Birmingham are stupid.
  • Liam Ridgewell should also play basketball if this fall-down defence is any indication.
  • Can anyone defend in this match?
  • No.
  • BENTLEY!
  • Zigic offside thirty-eight times in two minutes.
