As you go through life it's a long, long road
There'll be joys and sorrows too
As we journey on we will sing this song
For the boys in royal blue.
We're often partisan - la la la
We will journey on - la la la

Keep right on to the end of the road
Keep right on to the end
Though the way be long let your heart beat strong
Keep right on to the end
Though you're tired and weary
Still journey on 'til you come to your happy abode
With all our love we'll be dreaming of
We'll be there. Where? At the end of the road.
Birmingham, Birmingham

Aston Villa manager Alex Mcleish is said to be furious after midfielder Barry Bannon was arrested on suspicion of drink driving. He told the media "i'm not bothered that he had a crash, but i'm angry that there was someone in the passenger seat, i :xing hate having two up front!"

Trolololol i dont really care you know abbout aston villa?

[ZeRo]

Great thread layout :cool:

[Jake]

Thanks :D You should see some of them on the EA Forums though, absolute top draw, got no way of competing with them. :(

[Jake]

First game finished 4-4 against S****horpe in a pre-season friendly. When the season starts I'll start a prediction system for the next fixtures where you can earn points and the person who has the most points at the end of the league wins. :)

[Ry3]

Good stuff :cool:

Nice to see how you get on :)

[Jake]

Added the players sponsoring and prediction league, sponsor a player ASAP to ensure you get the player you want :)

Points for sponsoring and the predictions will come into play when the nPower Championship season kicks into play. :D

Check post #3 for how the system will work and a list of players to sponsor.

[Ry3]

I would like to sponsor Michael Owen :cool:

Is that all I need to do? :D

[Jake]

Yeah :)

Pretty much a first come, first serve thing.

[Joe]

I'll sponsor sir Nathan of Redmond.

[Jake]

Good choice Joe, done.

[Jake]

Chris Hughton signs Cristian Brocchi on a 2 year deal on a 9.5k a week wage. The 35 year old veteran CDM signed from Lazio for 110k and it seems that Chris Hughton is looking to put him straight in the squad for the first game of the season against Watford.

[Jake]

Just played the first game against Watford Away, try and post your predictions before next Monday 6pm please.

Watford v Birmingham

Win/Loss/Draw:
Scoreline:

[Jake]

Zigic and Ridgewell have been sold, Zigic for 2.7m and Ridgewell for 3.4m, I'm sure I can find some Championship standard replacements for them both and have a bit of profit.

[Ry3]

I predict 1-1 of the Watford game. :)

[Jake]

Cunningham (LB) has been brought from Man City for 1.6m, he is 20 years old and I hope he can step up to the challenge, later after Piquionne joined us for a sum of 2.1m, both on 3 year deals.

That's it for now so get your sponsors in for players and predictions for Watford Away.


Watford v Birmingham

Win/Loss/Draw:

[TomLFCHeaven]

Wow this looks absolutely fantastic :D I would like to sponsor Piquionne :D

my prediction for the Watford game is 2-1 win

I would do something like this with my Liverpool career mode but I'm a class A noob at photoshopping haha :D

Looking forward to seeing your season unfold :D

[Jas]

So much effort put into this. :eek: brilliant thread.

Will sponsor Jean Beausejour. /hmm

1-0 Win over Watford.

[Joe]

I'll go 2-2 draw for the Watford game.

Chelmsley Wood :D

[Jake]

[Jake]

I idiotically overwritten my save data for my Birmingham Career Mode, I customized the squad so you can have the same players but the first game for prediction would have to be changed to West Ham (A). Sorry everyone. :( :( :( #EpicFail.

[Bobbyavfc]

i say 2-1 win sti;;

[Ry3]

I idiotically overwritten my save data for my Birmingham Career Mode, I customized the squad so you can have the same players but the first game for prediction would have to be changed to West Ham (A). Sorry everyone. :( :( :( #EpicFail.

D'oh :D No worries mate.

My prediction stays the same. (y)

[Magz]

Still a 2-0 win.

[Jake]

P.S All matches will be played on World Class. Also MOTM will only be from my team so if the opposition get MOTM, whoever gets the highest rating on my team will still get the double points for MOTM.

[Jake]

Signed Igor Martinez.

[Jake]

marcftm, Jas, Joe, TomLFCHeaven, can you do a prediction for West Ham v Birmingham (A) instead of the one for Watford, post #39 explains why.

[Jas]

3-1 Win.

[Joe]

2-2 still matey.

[Growler]

Top idea this. Great effort :)

I'll say 3-1 win

And can I sponsor Curtis Davies. Don't know if he plays but hey ho :D

[Jake]

I forgot to mention, if anyone wants to sponsor a player, you still can, just reply to the thread which player you want. You can also predict score lines to earn points without sponsoring a player but you are not likely to win if you do not sponsor.

Aye, this whole thing has been really well done, keep it up Brum.

[Jake]

Thanks both. :) I will put up the next game to predict for later today.

[Jake]

Next prediction is for Millwall away, good luck all. :)

[Jake]

The transfer window has been opened for 7 days now and Enric Valles has signed for Derby County for a fee of 1.2 million. Meanwhile, Akwasi Asante has gone out on loan to Nottingham Forest.

Do you want to sponsor a player too? There is still half a season left (roughly) so there's no reason not to but if you only want to predict then that's fine.

[Andy]

Would do but it seems of the start 11 are already sponsored.

[Jake]

Rooney, King, Mutch, Fahey, Murphy, Caldwell and Carr play their fair share of games.

[Andy]

I'll go with Carr :cool:

[Jake]

Colin Doyle has now gone on loan because of lack of chances in the first team along with Mitch Hancox, Luke Hubbins and Nathan Redmond. Keith Fahey has been sold for a fee of 2.9m.

Coming into the squad is Wesley Verhoek from FC Gangwon who came to Birmingham City on a 3.7 million pound deal. His contract is 3 years long on a wage packet of 15,000 a week along with Victor Wanyama who has come in for defensive cover for Curtis Davies or Steven Caldwell. Guirane N'Daw's loan deal has now expired but has now signed for Birmingham City for a 1 million transfer fee.

[Jake]

Next prediction is for Barnsley away. :)

[Rafa_SLB_]

iBrummy can you tell me more about this ''tournament''? I guess it is late to join but just to know..

[Jake]

Basically how it works is, you pick a player to earn points with and the player will earn points by getting goals, assists and clean sheets. In addition to that you can earn points by predicting the outcome of a game (win, draw loss), and if you get the outcome of a game right, then you get another 2 points on top of what your player gets and if you get the correct scoreline, you get an additional 3 points. You can only pick a player that has not already been chosen by another member though. The person with the most points at the end of the season wins and will earn some vCash as will second a third place. First place will earn you 10k, second place will get you 5 and 3rd will be 1k.

There aren't many games left to predict on now, but if you want to take part still, just pick a player from here (http://www.fifagamer.net/showthread.php/556-Birmingham-City-A-New-Era-(With-Prizes)?p=7650&viewfull=1#post7650). The ones who you can pick are the ones in green or purple. I recommend picking a player in green though as the ones in purple are not likely to play.

[Magz]

I hate Michael Owen.

[Jake]

Haha, I don't think he will ever get injured. :D

Next prediction is for Watford v Birmingham (A)

[Magz]

He better do http://i.imgur.com/eQEOO.gif

Just for a change, I'll go 2-0 Brum.

[Rafa_SLB_]

Well then i pick marlon king :)and a 3-0 for Brum!

[Jake]

Nice one, sorted. :)

I've added you to the table. :)

[Rafa_SLB_]

I've stopped adding points onto marcftm, TomLFCHeaven and Joe because I doubt they'll be back. If they're not back on FGN by the end of the season, I'll make sure they drop to the bottom places so it is only fair, instead of wasting vCash on them. :)

[Jake]

Next prediction is for Derby v Birmingham (A).

Good luck all!

[Jake]

What if I told you he's been playing as a CB?...;)

Only messin', he's been at left mid and helped create quite a lot, but just not getting the assists or goals. I do wonder what he would be like up front, Owen and Marlon King as Striker though have been fantastic.

[Ry3]

Nothing is moving Owen out of his position Jas ^1^ :tease:

That's the season over and we have made it into the play-offs! We will first play Leeds away first, then at home in a 2 legged affair to reach the play-off finals.

The next prediction is for double points.

Predict as normal for both games, but then after, put down your prediction for the aggregate. Then after, predict if it will go to extra time and then predict if it will go to penalties. So your prediction should look something along the lines of this.

NOTE: Your predictions don't all have to make sense together, like the scores added up for your aggregate prediction, predict them as individual bets.

Leeds 2-1 Birmingham
Birmingham 3-1 Leeds
Score On Aggregate: Birmingham 4-3 Leeds
Go To Extra Time: Yes
Go To Penalties: Yes

The points system for aggregate, penalties etc.. will go like this

Score on aggregate is correct - 7 points
Result on aggregate is correct - 4 points
Go to extra times is correct - 3 points
Go to penalties is correct - 5 points

If I get to the play-off finals, I will tally up the points and not tell you the points until after the play-off final, where I will combine all of the play-off points and double them to add to your final scores. If I don't get to the play-off finals, then I will double the scores for the Leeds predictions.

[Ry3]

Leeds 0-1 Birmingham
Birmingham 1-1 Leeds
Score On Aggregate: Birmingham 2-1 Leeds
Go To Extra Time: No
Go To Penalties: No

[Growler]

Leeds 1-1 B'Ham
Birmingham 2-0 Leeds
Aggregate: B'Ham 3-1 Leeds
Extra Time: NO
Pens: NO

[Rafa_SLB_]

Leeds 1-2 Birmingham
Birmingham 3-0 Leeds
Score on Aggregate: Birmingham 4-1 Leeds
Go to Extra Time: No
Go to Penalties: No

[Magz]

Leeds 0-2 Birmingham
Birmingham 2-0 Leeds

Any predictions Bobbyavfc, Jas, Andy? Looking to reveal what happened by tonight if possible. :)

[Jake]

1st leg - Leeds 1-1 Birmingham

Goal Scorers: Mutch
Assists: Beausejour
Man of the Match: Myhill


2nd leg - Birmingham 4-3 Leeds (5-4 agg)

Goal Scorers: King, Elliott, Mutch, Redmond
Assists: King, Beausejour, Carr
Man of the Match: King

So I'll save the points, then add them to the play-off final points then double them.

[Jake]

Final prediction

Predict as normal.

[Magz]

2-0 Brum

[Rafa_SLB_]

[Jake]

That's it then, all over for this season.

Birmingham 0-3 Leicester (playoff final)

Goal Scorers:
Assists:
Man of the Match: King


The points below are for the playoffs and works like this 'First leg points + second leg points/bonus points + play-off final points = total playoff points x 2.

Rye - 0 + 12 + 0 = 12 x 2 = 24 Points

Bobbyavfc - 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 x 2 = 0 Points

Magz - 5 + 14 + 0 = 19 x 2 = 38 Points

Jas - 3 + 3 + 0 = 6 x 2 = 12 Points

Growler - 3 + 14 + 0 = 17 x 2 = 34 Points

Andy - 0 + 3 + 0 = 3 x 2 = 6 Points

Rafa_SLB_ - 0 + 17 + 5 = 22 x 2 = 44 Points


The final table looks like this.

If you predicted at least one thing right, you'd have at least finished 1 place higher. :D

[Bobbyavfc]

If you predicted at least one thing right, you'd have at least finished 1 place higher. :D

well probably brocchi wont be in ur plans net seasons would he? bcuz u never post him up it loks like :P

[Jake]

He was just a rotation option really this season. I'll let you know what is happening next season later.

[Bobbyavfc]

i want a new fresh pick next season then :P

[Jake]

Everybody will be forced to choose a new player next season, I'll set a time for when people can start asking who they want, so it's fair.

[Ry3]

Champion! Champion! Ole Ole Ole! :D

Good stuff Brum. Great effort you've put into this. :cool:

[Jake]

Haha, well deserved and thanks. :)

[Rafa_SLB_]

Champion! Champion! Ole Ole Ole! :D

Good stuff Brum. Great effort you've put into this. :cool:
If i played since the begining you wouldn't :)
Now serious, well i guess i did good, i started since the middle of the season or even after that and i ended in 3rd place..
Next season..1st place here i go :)
BTW iBrummy i guess in the next season the champion should pick the player first, then the seond choose after, the third after and so on, i guess it is fair..

[Jake]

I like that idea but then the table will most likely look the same every season.

[Rafa_SLB_]

I like that idea but then the table will most likely look the same every season.
I guess but i was the last one to pick and i ended in 3rd, it was a ideia but if you want you can do it the other way around like the last one pick first and so on...
