DAVO'S DIARY: Brentford 5-0 Birmingham (20/2/18)

[@9wolves2007]

4-0 down and they're still the only ones in that place making any noise. Top class.

[@millwallmark7400]

Fair play them and you the best fans in the Midlands by far, Villa have nothing on either of you lot

[@Osm1889]

If you were there we made more noise than them

[@9wolves2007]

Millwall Mark nice one mate

[@9wolves2007]

Ollie Smith I was at Griffin Park for the 2014 League One game, and if it wasn't for away fans, you'd hear nothing there. Simple as that.

[@liamkelly6667]

no its the acoustics, obviously birmingham fans sound louder when hes in the stand

[@Brentford-rf5sh]

Bees fan 'ere. Big respect to Blues fans who were a top bunch of supporters. Sang throughout the whole match with good humour, but most of all, stayed to the very end despite the terrible scoreline. Huge credit to you all. In the 1990's us Bees fans hated BCFC for various games you won etc... however those Birmingham fans who came to west London on a Tuesday night, in numbers, to support a football team lacking on form and desire, I tip my hat to you all. Best of for the rest of the season, I genuinely believe Birmingham will survive and not go down. Finally I have to say, Maxime Colin and Jota ARE great players who can play in the Premiership ( I know you'll find this hard to believe,) as for Harlee Dean, he really isn't anything special, you'll always guarantee a mistake or two from him every game. I personally can't stand the bloke - even when he played for us ! Best of luck Blues !!!!

[@kharland55]

Thanks Brentford1967 - it's a sad state of affairs when the only bit of good news from that game is a comment made by an opposition fan.

[@TCPH]

you know things are bad when the normally composed and insightful young lad starts dropping f-bombs everywhere, bad times at the mo. I would 100% take Lee Clarke over Cotterill

[@alexdeeks7251]

TCPH yh, at least we had a good away record with Lee Clarke

[@TheSaltsinNZ]

Rivalries, bitterness, hatred, banter and whatever else aside - those supporters do not deserve that. The hurt is clear to see on their faces and hear in their words after the game but they saved that for after the final whistle and outside the ground - the backing they gave during the game is what counts. Excellent support.

[@SwainsonProductions]

Cracking vid again Dave. As always, it’s about so much more than just the football. We really are top of the league when it comes to gallows humour aren’t we? Kudos to those Brentford fans too by the way. 👍🏼

[@millwallmark7400]

Again top support lads, realistic and honest bunch of fans who deserve better but keep getting served up shit. Reminds me of us under Holloway. You need to get rid of Cotterill before it's too late. COYL

[@charliebrett7510]

About Holloway.....

[@spudgunjoe]

That kid speaks sense every week, reckon we'd be better off with him as manager! 🤓 struggling to see how to get out of this one 😩

[@callum4528]

The fans today were a credit to our club, it shows that no matter the scoreline, we'll sing and shout until our heart gives way, the fact that Cotterill didn't even come and clap the fans says a lot, he's arrogant, and I'd be ok with an arrogant manager that was good, but Cotts doesn't even have a record to be proud of, the game coming up this weekend is the biggest of our season, Barnsley just lost to Burton, in theory it should be an easy win but who knows what will happen, we can't even put up a respectable display against a mid table Championship side, when we all go down to the Blues on Saturday the fans need to get behind Cotterill, not because they soppurt him, but maybe that will spur him and the team on, I'll certainly be singing on Saturday and I hope the other lads will, kro.

[@tomdavies8489]

Callum Pointon he did clap at the end, but from what i seen it was a very sarcastic one as we were sing cottrill out at the time

[@callum4528]

Tom Davies Well that just makes it even worse if it was sarcastic, we just sung our hearts out for his team and he sarcasticly claps? That says a lot about him as a person.

[@reaper060670]

Great away support again Davo mate.. I would like to say one thing though.. Booing the players and management is counter productive. We saw the same thing at the Villa when we were relegated from the Prem Lge.. U have players who aren't putting the shift in and maybe Cotterill isn't good enough but he's all u have right now so back the team for the last 12 games or so.. I think it would be desperate for Birmingham to go down again to Div 1 but maybe it's what's needed for ur club.. To hit rock bottom before u can turn it round. It's a shame but football is a cruel game at times. When things go bad it can be really cruel for the supporters. We suffered it for years at the Villa and luckily we got a manager who has changed things for the better, not on the footballing side because we can't keep possession but Bruce has managed to bring the supporters back and we've finally found our voice again. The heart and soul of our football club is back and stronger than it's ever been. Bruce deserves a lot of credit for that but so does our owner. He stood by Steve Bruce when some sections of our support were getting on his back over results. The owner stayed calm, didn't panic and now we're seeing the fruits of that hard work. Hope things turn out ok for ya Davo mate. It's too big a club to be playing in the 3rd Div but it hass happened to us in the past and it's not beyond any club to fall so far. Sincerely hope u get out of it because we need each other to be doing well for the area of the Midlands. Midlands clubs get a bad rep imho and that has to change. It would be great to see a load of midlands clubs in the top flight. Villa, Blues, WBA, Wolves, Leicester, Kidderminster!!!! haha! only buzzin on that one pal.. Nuneaton? Now I'm takin' the pish lad.. Ah no but I mean it about the midlands clubs. It would be great to see a renaissance of the midlands clubs coming back strong for the whole of the area.. Forrest are another, eh? They're a midlands club along with Derby and a few others? Have I got that wrong? Hope not cos I'll look like a right plank peddling me crank Davo.. Great vid again mate. Ur away support is great and the humour is brilliant even when ur losing. Reminded me of the game at Liverpool when we were 3-0 down under Houllier. Our supporters sang pretend like we've just scored and started jumping around like nutters. The pool fans couldn't believe what they were seeing. They thought it was class form us. The fans of both our clubs have a great sense of humour as well as brilliant away support. Sorry for rambling Davo mate.. Hope u get out of this mess lad. I will most likely take pelters for this but what the hey.. I don't care lad. The atmosphere at Villa park was awesome and I wanna see more of it but I wanna see it in the top flight. I wanna see more of our famous sense of humour in the top flight soon pal.. Take it easy Davo and best of luck for the rest of the season pal..

[@Ruari123able]

Us Southend fans look forward to seeing you next season Lol. Great set of supporters!

[@b14bob60]

Looking forward to it heard it's a great away day

[@Ruari123able]

It's back to proper back to basics stadium but Roots Hall can provide one hell of an atmosphere for both home and away fans. Birmingham fans never have that problem anyway but it will be a great game in terms of atmosphere!

[@nkskro80]

It is a great away day. I remember going there in about 2006 I think it was when you was in the championship & we won 4-0!

[@Ruari123able]

We was god awful in the championship xD

[@millwallmark7400]

Good away day that is, Brum fans will have a good laugh down there

[@ijazh6790]

I think the treatment given out to Harlee Dean is way over the top. He made over 250 appearances for you. He was in the last year of his contract and was starstruck with Harry Redknapp as were we all after last season's miraculous survival. Great video and amazing away support. KRO & SOTV.

[@joshm3059]

That's not why we abused him. He said your current team is better than ours which made the play offs. That's what the abuse was for.

[@chz9530]

Great support tbf didn't realise how good yous are and some of those chants top class 😂👏 from a villa fan

[@rogerzvirbulis9765]

Brentford fan hit the nail on the head. We don’t spend a lot of money, but we play football. Football is meant to be the entertainment, not the fans laughing at their own teams misfortune. If you’re going down Davo go down fighting. Play the players that excite the fans. Start Jota, Adams & Gallagher up front with Jota being given a licence to roam. If you lose, then at least lose giving the fans something to shout about. Sadly under Cotterill thats never going to happen

[@DavoBirmingham2]

Couldn't agree more mate!

[@MrDontlooknow]

What that billy the bee said at the end is what it used to feel like to be a bluenose KRO

[@steveshirley5491]

2:32 Davo pulled the middle one

[@paulwarry6287]

Boobtastic!

[@pound4poundko701]

What a rack

[@alexvickers257]

Class support for a 5-0. Players and staff don't deserve us.

[@joewalsallawayfan2695]

Dean smith good manager for Brentford

[@sammullett17]

Well done davo for getting the young lad back on, talks sense for a youngster 👏⚽️👍 KRO

[@joro4363]

You should do some like match overviews after by speaking with the blue noses and talk about what needs to change cuz the videos when you go on the talk shows are really enjoyable to listen to.

[@joshatkins313]

cotterill out davo to manage for the rest of season

[@bzmv1152]

I wanna see Charlie Lakin or even Okeefe in that team Davo. Then two might actually give us a midfield and let’s be honest, who do we have as an option in midfield. Ndonkey ?

[@mattwoods6844]

Nice you hooked up with a young Ricky Gervais at 1.12 followed by an equally young David Jason.

[@zewgaminghd8942]

Well spotted kind sir!

[@stephenmann2331]

As a villa fan you lads deserve better top class .you have got to stay up

[@markwheeler4245]

That was abysmal! We need cleaning out, no fight no passion which is the worst to me! Losing happens it's football but I need effort and passion! These fellas get very well paid! It's the players who have to go out and execute though Ffs sake Cotterill is crap! I don't think he's the man unfortunately! I'm worried tbh.😔. Brentford were fantastic and big respect FairPlay to you!👌🏻, nice lot of fans they seem also.

[@pwhitehead]

Best away fans at Griffin Park this season. Why let football spoil a good night out! Watch out Southend Utd!

[@Walkerman404]

At least Lee Clark has passion and respected the fans.

[@stevecotterill2248]

Don’t worry. I’ll win us all of our remaining games and we’ll be in the playoffs, beating our claret & blue rivals West Ham in the final. #RKO

[@DavoBirmingham2]

#CotterillIn 😂

[@somewolvesfan3398]

Is it too late to say u probs should of kept Rowett

[@Kuy91]

You on a bad run Birmingham ? , don't worry cos we're coming to town at the weekend

[@callum4528]

Alfie BFC Kuy Mate, we should be the ones worried, the Barnsley game is a must win for us on the weekend and we constantly bottle it on when we need to perform, you've got 3 points garunteed imo, good luck kro

[@ekonamare7219]

We usually bottle the must win games mate I actually think you will nick it

[@callum4528]

James Styles I guess it's just the battle of the 2 worst teams right now, I'm saying either a draw or loss for Birmingham, good luck bud

[@thebillyhunt9216]

I reckon you'll both manage to lose. Birmingham can't be worse than they were on Tuesday... or can they?

[@callum4528]

Wouldn't surprise me if we went and conceded 12 this time, with that clown Cotterill in charge who knows what will happen.

[@Rorztfns]

Been following the blues for years up and down the country. First time I ever left a match early and it was the 58th minute it was that’s shocking. Every blue nose that traveled should of got a full Fucking refund for that pile of shite!

[@Millwall-ys7dn]

Really hope blues can get out of trouble real fans real passion

[@pound4poundko701]

“We’re Brentford and you can laugh at us” Yea we will hahahahaha donuts

[@tarnjithundal2818]

Would love us to sack him n try and get Gary monk, highly doubt it will happen. Tbh I would give Kevin Nolan a shot. Over achieving at Notts County

[@dylanstewart2697]

It's your manager not your players cotterills really defensive and thats not what your players are about lets say jota very attacking and puts pressure on a lot of players...just keep your heads up and see the season through (Millwall fan) KRO NOLU

[@robertcash8494]

Class away support there 💯👊👌

[@jackstratts2569]

Great vid davo good luck on survival

[@josh_xd9395]

why do they hate dean so much?

[@braddan7782]

Hate Brentford but that's good banter from them to play cheer up Harley dean at the end 😂😂

[@1jo_king]

Brad Dan and I hate Qpr. Up the 🐝

[@ahawkins628]

If Cotterill did go then who is there to take over?

[@jamietalbot7254]

Bluenose 47 Gary monk

[@bcfcsotv8348]

J.L.T BRICKLAYING CONTRACTORS but would he come

[@jamietalbot7254]

He ain't doing fuck all else

[@suds3405]

awful! no heart or desire,those players don't give a shit,what we wouldn't give for players like liam daish,micheal jonson,ian bennet ,paul tait,geoff horsefield etc,players that would walk through brick walls for blues!

[@user-ty5xy6cs9d]

9:40 haha lol

[@stevecotterill9970]

I will win us the champions league!
