It may be predictable but beating villa at St Andrews in the quarter final of the league cup 2011. We live in Spain and managed to get tickets to the game in the Gill Merrick Upper i actually cried with happiness a memory I'll keep forever. Merry Christmas Matt & Gary KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Sharon which is greatly appreciated. We were there for that game as well and what a great memory. Merry Christmas! KRO!

[@markfewtrell5242]

Trevor scoring 4 goals v Bolton . To be there was a privilege

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Mark which is greatly appreciated. Wow, what a memory! KRO!

[@mattjordan1272]

Top content as per…thx lads Willumson for sure will be fine in the Championship, same goes for Klarer, Stanno, Paik and Iwata. Totally agree with both of you ref Buchanan and Cochrane, love them both to bits and it’s a great problem to have. If I had to choose, it would be Buchanan just based on how much he loves the crowd. KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Matt which is greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and your family! KRO!

[@moomintroll2067]

Cochrane, Paik, Iwata, Stanno & I'm cheating with Chris Davis - defo a premiership manager. Favourite memory : I was actually watching in a pub in the east midlands with a table of Villa fans on the next table. Then there was that Enckleman moment ... pure hilarity ! Also really fond memories of Trevor's last game before the move to Forest. It had been leaked so the fans just sang his name for 90 minutes in the hope that he'd stay. KRO

[@slightlyconfused876]

Biggest memory? My first away game was a draw at Arsenal in the FA Cup when Geoff Vowden scored with a header from outside the penalty area, followed by a win in the replay when Barry Bridges scored an overhead kick against. Two amazing games.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. That’s a great memory! KRO!

Hi Matt and Garry. I enjoyed your discussion as always and am so looking forward to tonight's match. Boxing days too. A cracking Christmas present for us would be for Blues to be top of the table. Thank you for all your great posts this year and I hope that you both have a Merry Christmas. KRO🎄🎅

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Lisa which is greatly appreciated. It would be great if we could win and go top tonight. Merry Christmas to you and your family! KRO!

[@Kimbo-t9q]

Like you say Gary, the game is in our own destiny, win our games and nobody can catch us, though the reality is we won't win them all, but neither will the other teams. It's ours to lose. KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. If we take care of our own performances then we will win these league.KRO!

[@liamreidy7]

Great podcast both, Merry Christmas to you and family, hopefully a nice early Xmas gift tonight with a big win for Blues and a 1st place finish.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Liam which is greatly appreciated. Yes, three points to night and top of the league would be a great Christmas present! KRO!

[@DonnaKRO82]

Stanno, Paik, Iwata, Cochrane Anderson When we got promoted at the final in Cardiff, I just could not believe we won and made it to the premiership, queued round St Andrews for hours to get my ticket, Honestly just could not believe we won! 🎉 Thanks for answering my question 🤣🤣 no more swear words! KRO!

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Donna which is greatly appreciated. I remember queuing for hours to get tickets for loads of matches. The online method of getting tickets is much better! KRO!

[@kellydavidson3379]

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

You too Steve! KRO!

[@oldnblue]

Thanks for the response guys (and yes, I love seeking out Matrix stuff, there's lots of material so relevant to our situation) - I just think that the atmosphere in home games will be so much better as and when we destroy an opposition team, it does get a bit quiet at times But tbh I'm not complaining... Happy Christmas from all in the Matrix !!😂

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your question as well and Happy Christmas to you and your family. KRO!

[@italgong]

I remember Geoff Vowden being the first substitute to score a hat-trick

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@RICHP1979]

I was 31 years old, at university (my second time) and my twin girls were due in the summer. I wasn't going to go the Carling Cup final. My Dad was like there's no way you're missing the final. You have got to go. So he got me my ticket 💙 Thank you Dad. KRO 💙

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Richard which is greatly appreciated. That is a great story and fair play to your dad! KRO!

[@RICHP1979]

@BCFCRoyalBlue Thank you. Yeah, I really appreciated it then and, of course, now. Made all the sweeter by the fact than we won 🏆 and even more sweeter I was sat right by the Arsenal fans 😁 what a day out 😁 I remember before the game, some bloke had clearly had too much to drink. I have no idea how he got into the ground, but I would hazard a guess on the evidence the state he was in, he didn't make it out of the toilets or see any of the game!! 🤷‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ KRO 💙

[@TCPH]

That Cisse quote should be put somewhere around the ground. I always tell my kids that Blues is family and that we should always look out for eachother

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. It really was s fantastic quote wasn’t it! KRO!

[@JohnBarnes-y1r]

Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎉 I think if we beat Crawley we won’t look back 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment John which is greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and your family also. KRO!

[@RICHP1979]

My top 5 premier league ready or have the potential in no particular order are: 1. Stansfield 2. Paik 3. Iwata 4. Leonard (he needs so much more game time right now) 5. Buchanan (I'm in team Matt) KRO 💙

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Richard which is greatly appreciated. We really have got some great choices haven’t we! KRO!

[@RICHP1979]

@BCFCRoyalBlue KRO 💙

[@gazzabcfc693]

Happy Christmas lads enjoy 🎉

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Gazza which is greatly appreciated. Happy Christmas! KRO!

[@JustMyFish]

Iwata Paik Cochrane Klara Willumsson. I think Stansfield will be ready in 1/3 years

[@wombodjembe7180]

How old is willumson? Does he have enough time to develop?

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

He is currently 26 years old. KRO!

[@stephengill745]

I missed the cup final to but my dad and my little bro went I watched it on tv.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Stephen which is greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas! KRO!

[@davideco7910]

Cochrane, Paik, Iwata for sure, Klarers pace maybe an issue but he has everything else, i absolutely love that guy. Potentially Stansfield has a great future. Yokoyama, Donovan if they bulk up and work hard have a real chance skills wise. And i really think George Hall could of been a real player if not for his body letting him down.

[@wombodjembe7180]

I agree with that I think yokoyama coukd deffinately grow into that level of player

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment David which is greatly appreciated. Happy Christmas! KRO!

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@stevepaintin4647]

Same as Matts 5

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Steve which is greatly appreciated. Happy Christmas! KRO!

[@iceburglettuce6940]

I'm not sure about Iwata in the Prem. He didnt pull up trees in the Scottish Prem. I'd love to be proved wrong as he's been immense for us. I actually think Bielik could cope with the Premier League. Note that all these players we've mentioned could be Prem league, but likely to be a team at the bottom end. That includes Stansfield for me at the moment. He doesn't possess the pace needed for the Prem, but he's still plenty of time to improve. Clara would worry me with his lack of pace, but he's been excellent so far, hardly lost a single aerial battle. We completely outplayed Fulham in the League cup, which was the only opportunity to see them tested properly. We are seeing these players against "3rd rate" footballers, so it is really hard to judge.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. Happy Christmas! KRO!

[@philkearney9047]

Went to the loo half time at Crawley. Crawley fan heard my accent and said where’s this 12M player then? I didn’t rise but replied 12 I thought he was 17 million? He hasn’t done much, which one is it? 28 I said but he usually scores every match. Oh does he? You know the rest. KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Phil which is greatly appreciated. ‘£20million down the drain, Jay Stansfield scores again’. There’s a song in there somewhere! KRO!

[@pulpet9193]

Thanks for answering my question guys. I missed the Brugge away game in the Europa league which I've kicked myself for ever since! I agree with Matt's picks for the five players, absolutely love Willumson,think he's a real quality player. Back on top tonight hopefully,have a great Christmas and up the Blues! KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. The Bruges game is another game that is right up there as one I wish I had been at. Merry Christmas! KRO!
