Birmingham home. What was the score? 3-1
It was a frustrating morning trying to follow the game on the web. The BBC Sport Live Scores page and text commentary was really slow and pretty much useless and the Sky Sports site continued it's recent annoying sluggishness. I did however work out that we were 3-1 ahead before I had to rush off to meet my real estate agent feeling reasonably confident with a two-goal cushion.

And then a little later, I got a text from my mate Chris, which said simply: "we were sexy," which was all I needed to know.

I later spoke to him to get a match summary and he pretty much echoed the reports, telling me that the switch to 4-4-2 was the catalyst with Jeffers playing a prime role. "Franny was very sharp, he's so desperate to play and do well," said Curbs after the game (more).

Desperate the 'fox in the box' maybe but his contributions to goals this week and last will add confidence to Jeffers who will wonder like we do tonight if Curbs will start with two strikers next week up at Goodison.

I wouldn't mind seeing the 2nd & 3rd goals they sounded a bit, well sexy and, oh go on then I'll take a look at da, da, da, da El Karkouri's as well!

Last weekend I found out that the pay-per-view channel that my cable has suddenly picked up (I'm still assuming for free) showed live two FA Cup games and today at 9am the Tottenham v Chelsea game was on, so I'm hoping there might be some kind of highlights programme. Da, da, da, da....
