Cup Fever Continues
Radio City's Alan Irwin, 23/02/2012 16:00
Read MoreI’m delighted that my two predictions (made in my last blog) of home victories were duly achieved over Chelsea and Blackpool. Two clean sheets as well, even better than I expected!
I don’t know what pleased me more, beating Chelsea or reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup? I suppose it’s that old mantra of one game at a time and... -
February Optimism
Radio City's Alan Irwin, 9/02/2012 12:36
Read MoreFootball’s fantastic isn’t it?!!
My last blog was just prior to the Fulham FA Cup game and there was a real sense of apprehension around the club. How quickly things can change. We’re now in the fifth round of the FA Cup (and looking forward to it!), have beaten the league leaders, brought in a five-and-a-half million pound new striker...

Friday Night FA Cup Fever
Radio City's Alan Irwin, 25/01/2012 15:53
Read MoreFA Cup Fever... Friday Night Football... Well, I must admit I’m still a big fan of the FA Cup (with Budweiser of course!) and I’m not averse to playing football on a Friday evening as opposed to a solemn Sunday afternoon!
I’m sure it won’t become a regular occurrence for us but I hope that this Friday yields a decent...

Double Delight This Week
Radio City's Alan Irwin, 17/11/2011 15:51
Read MoreGood news has been difficult to come by this season for Blues fans, but this week has given us double delight!
First a full England International cap for Jack Rodwell, which can only do his confidence the power of good and hopefully see him progress more rapidly with Everton, and now the news that Marouane Fellaini has put pen to...

Next Three Matches Key
Radio City's Alan Irwin, 10/11/2011 15:55
Read MoreI did say in an earlier blog that the end of November/December is the time to judge us and I'll stick by that, however we do need a change in fortune. We need someone to find the back of the net on a consistent basis.
I agree we've had some difficult games and if I'm honest I wasn't expecting... -
Premier League v Carling Cup
Radio City's Alan Irwin, 13/10/2011 17:06
Read MoreMurphy's law, I suppose, that we have had to endure an International break following a derby day defeat.
More time unfortunately to mull over the events of a week last Saturday, although given the circumstances around the defeat it's very difficult to analyse the performance, there would be nothing to gain.
I tend to agree with those that state... -
Back To Blogging
Radio City's Alan Irwin, 4/10/2011 10:13
Read MoreIt’s been a long time since I blogged, but I’m back to give you my thoughts on a regular basis again this season and no more appropriate time to kick things off than a Merseyside derby.
As a commentator it’s not something I particularly look forward to, primarily because for the sake of good balance for our listeners on Radio City... -
A New Perspective
Radio City's Alan Irwin, 11/10/2010 13:42
Read MorePrior to our victory over Birmingham I’m sure there weren’t too many Blues fans looking forward to the 214th Merseyside Derby. But that win, followed by Liverpool’s home defeat to Blackpool has put a whole new perspective on matters.
To be honest after that weekend I was wishing the Derby could take place almost immediately. International breaks rarely come at the...
