EPL 29/1/2008 - Sunderland vs Birmingham

Now this live commentary and play by play soccer match between English Premier League sides Sunderland and Birmingham actually looks more like a Championship soccer match on paper both sides are not good footballing teams and cannot string more than two passes together at any one time and if you like scrappy football then this is the game for you. Sunderland continues to purchase from Manchester United with Roy Keane thinking that Manchester United's reserves are good enough to beat the rest of the English Premier League but he has got to realise that most of them do not even get to play for Manchester United as substitutes with any regularity so they obviously cannot make the grade and Ferguson knows better as to who are good and after their acrimonious split you might suspect that Ferguson might be trying to do his former protege in by recommending a few dodgy players as shown by selling Kieran Richardson. Everybody knows the Jermain Pennant lookalike plays the same way as well without using any brains and so often a headless chicken but at least he scores a few goals unlike most of the rest of the Sunderland team.

Birmingham on the hand I have a slightly softer spot for since Alex McLeish took over but it would still be welcomed if they drop down a division following this live commentary and radio broadcast game against Sunderland as they would probably have to rely on defensive bruising soccer after a while when they realise they cannot play themselves out of trouble and McLeish knows his way through that from his days in Scotland and as Scotland manager.

This points to another typical draw in this live commentary and radio broadcast English Premier League soccer game between Sunderland and Birmingham as both teams are fighting for survival and I doubt either would take any risks but if they do, Birmingham looks to be the one team that are better at that as they have the ability to create a few chances while Sunderland is just a terrible terrible team although with Roy Keane's famed motivational skills he might just be able to carry the team to an inspiring win tonight in this live commentary and radio broadcast EPL game against Birmingham.
