Preston North End.
How come other Nationwide teams (Wigan for example) can put on a show against Premiership teams where as we just get creamed?
And it really rubs it in when Aston Villa are the team to do it.
Just as things were looking up in the league we stumble against a mediocre Premiership side.
Looks like the terraces are right when they sing:
"He's fat, he's round,
He's taking Preston down,
Craigy Brown, Craigy Brown".
Absolute cack.
I think that Birmingham will be able to finish above:
WBA
Fulham
Charlton
Bolton
Sunderland
and maybe Southampton.
I'm sure that West Ham will start winning soon, otherwise you could finish above them.
Im pleased that Blues got beat by Preston rd 3 because the worthless cup is something that we (Blues) really could do without this season, the last thing we need are injuries or suspensions when were trying to get into a 'safe' position, the FA Cup 3rd round is only just around the corner, thats still the one that most teams want to win.
I know about the EUFA cup spot for winning the worthless cup but winter midweek games ontop of a hard Premiership season dont bode too well together in my opinion (and many Premiership managers too no doubt judging by the 2nd string teams that most field in this competition)

Whats wrong with Villa?
They are not the best team in the Premiership, but they are a very good Premiership side. They have finish between 6th-9th in the Premiership, and they have also been in the UEFA Cup.
Also, look at the players they have got:
Alpay: Selected in the World X1
Mellberg: Very good Swedish defender
Vassell: Played for England and has scored a few goals for them.
Barry: One of the best left Midfielders in the Premiership
and there are a few more.
