Our great big review of the 2024-25 season featured one of League One’s relegated clubs yesterday in Crawley Town. Today, we’re at the other end of the division, taking a look at the champions: Birmingham City. There’s no guarantee that money equals success in football, but after spending roughly the GDP of Japan last summer, the Blues have gone on to pick up more points in a season than any other team in the history of English football. Fair play to them, especially Chris Davies in his first season as a manager. Plenty to unpick from the last ten months with our regular St. Andrew’s correspondent, Ryan Deeney.

Bumped into a Birmingham City fan a few weeks ago in my local. Thought I'd be polite and have a chat. As the weeks have gone on I wish I'd never bothered. I view arrogance as a huge flaw in anyone. This guy has it in spades. I dread bumping into him now.

Might be wrong and can't be bothered checking it out, but haven't we won more League titles than them?

Sort of. If you count absolutely everything, we have eight and they have seven.

Our eight includes winning the Lancashire League and Lancashire Combination around the turn of the 19th century.

But their seven includes winning the Football League South in 1945/6. First season after the war and everything was a bit of a hotch potch with no promotion or relegation.

My father was a County fan like my grandfather before :-)
