HERE WE GO! The 2026/27 season is finally upon us.
Tatts and Taity are back to look ahead to Blues' unusual Carabao Cup opening match against Swansea City. The lads give their verdict on Chris Davies' latest summer signings—Vazquez, Lund, and Beadle—and discuss the departure of the polarising Kyogo.
Plus, we look back at the prestigious Barcelona friendly, analyse Blues' new set-piece routines, and ask: is the traditional number 10 role dead at St. Andrew's?
A massive thank you to our Principal Partner: Davisons Law
And a warm welcome to our new Junior Partner: Big Bulls Head in Digbeth!
(Alongside our great friends at DrainTech, Bewdley Spirits, and AMG Logistics)
