So, the Albion take on ex-Premier League Birmingham at the Amex, where we are currently unbeaten this season.

In their last game, Birmingham lost 5-0 to Barnsley, a team who we beat 5-1 at home a few weeks before. So will we demolish them 10-0 ? Or will they bounce back immediately to claim a result ?

An Albion win/draw would make us unbeaten in 7 games, with a win being our sixth in a row - certainly keeping us top of the league for the end of September.

So, whos feeling confident ?

I was confident until brum got smashed 0-5. Now I'm not sure... On paper brum have a decent team. Fancy them to at least put in a half decent performance and bounce back a little from their defeat. Still fancy us for the win though. 2-1 Albion!

Would like our team to line up as...

Kooshack, calde, Greer, el abd, bridge, bridcutt, Hammond, crofts, Buckley, Dobbie, Barnes.

Keep it solid... Then bring on the flair! Lualua, orlandi and Lopez!

Thread title a little unusual. It's worked so far though for Hawk, so I'm sticking with it and saying...a (nervy) 2-1 to the Flairmeisters :)

Very tough game today, IMO its the toughest all season. Yes Birmingham got smashed last week, but they are no mugs. Sorry but I think we might struggle today

Think we may lose pole position for a couple of hours only. :albion2:

Head-to-head
• The last three league meetings have been drawn.
• Birmingham have only gained maximum points on Brighton turf once in their history; 1-0 in October 1994 at third league level.
• If two goals are generated in this game, it will take the total produced in competitive matches between the pair to 50.
Brighton
• The Seagulls are defending a two point lead at the top of the table, and chasing a sixth successive league win, last achieved in League One in April 2011. They have never registered six wins on the spin at second league level.
• Victory will make it Brighton's best start to a league season in 35 years.
• The club with the tightest defence in the Championship (conceded four goals in seven), have only had their defences breached once at the Amex Stadium, a Barnsley penalty.
Birmingham
• Lee Clark's side are smarting from last Saturday's 5-0 loss to Barnsley; their heaviest home league defeat in 25 years.
• Birmingham are one of six clubs without an away win in the Championship, and have not picked up maximum points in six on the road since a 3-1 triumph at Burnley on 3 April.
• The current tally of eight points after seven games matches last season's start.

Does anyone remember Kevin Bremner's hat trick against Birmingham on a cold new years eve in 1988? Great days......

Things you did not know about Birmingham

1) Birmingham is a small suburb (used to be a heath) of a large second city called Aston or Bromwich.

2) It is nowhere near Norwich. Or Northwick to distinguish it from a famous place called Southwick (Sussex) which is getting further and further away.

3) Birmingham are not as good as Norwich. Afterall Norwich lost 1-7 at home to Colchester and then won two successive promotions. Birmingham only lost 0-5 to Barnsley.

4) Language is difficult in Brummagem. Natives speak their local tongue and something called Black Country (not racist). Both languages are incomprehensible.

5) Sometimes their beer appears like milk shake because of frothers. They have bigger than pint glasses with a line on them. This is why some of them appear to have moustaches.

6) Birmingham is nowhere near the sea.

So they get their "City", but we don't get our "Hove", "Albion", or even our blessed "and"?

It has worked 5 times in a row now - although if it was to become unstuck today will be the day. I think they will fight back, but not win. 2-2 - meaning i lose my winning streak but keep my unbeaten run - much like BHAFC

Looking forward to following the game here today. As long as no one has suicidal tendencies or seeks relationship advice we'll be fine. Try not to talk too much about you're friggin streams; let's enjoy the footie eh?
Keep me updated everyone!
