Live: Midlands Derby - Aston Villa v Birmingham - the sequel (8pm GMT/3pm EST).: As a tribute to SpoFi's very own Fat Buddha (Birmingham fan) and BigCalm (Villa fan), I once again bring you this torrid tie. Birmingham celebrated their return to the EPL earlier this season with a 3-0 drubbing of Villa, that included the infamous Enckelman Error. This match takes on added urgency as Birmingham battles a quick return to the First Division. Can Birmingham complete the "double" by beating city rivals Aston Villa at Villa Park? Or will Dion Dublin and Villa break their neighbor's hearts? It's the BBC's really boring text commentary but it was the best I could find online.

Well, are they still playing? The Beeb hasn't updated its "live" commentary pages in half an hour.

Well, they've done it! Birmingham 2-0 with sendings-off for Villa's Dublin and Gudjonsson. Fat Buddha will be chuffed and raging drunk!

Undisputed Kings of Birmingham. And Villa made complete arses of themselves in the process. Excellent. Bring on whoever it is we play next.

FB and BC are strangely silent. I expect they are overcoming hangovers, for quite different reasons.
