Full-time: Birmingham City 4 Blackburn Rovers 1

Comments (119) Have your say »
ROVERS' outside chance of a place in the Intertoto Cup was foiled on the final day of the season.
But Birmingham City's efforts to avoid relegation were in vain as, despite twice taking the lead before Fabrice Muamba sealed the win with the fourth and final goal late on, results elsewhere meant they dropped back down to the Championship after just one season in the top flight.
Birmingham took the lead just after the half-hour, when David Murphy ran onto a quickly taken free kick and, after not being closed down, took the opportunity of a speculative shot at goal.
Brad Friedel looked to have it well covered, but took his eyes off the low strike for a second and the ball spooned up out of his hands and over the line.
Morten Gamst Pedersen got Rovers back on level terms four minutes into the second half with a first-time right foot shot from Roque Santa Cruz's square ball, after Jason Roberts' initial effort had been charged down.
Brett Emerton, Santa Cruz and Roberts all had chances to put Rovers in front, but they capitulated after Birmingham had regained the lead in the 74th minute.
Moments after Cameron Jerome had missed a sitter from close range, the Birmingham substitute slotted home after latching onto Sebastian Larsson's ball from the right.
Jerome made it 3-1 with a minute to go from Gary McSheffrey's ball into the box.
Muamba wrapped it up in stoppage time with a free header.

You'll be proven totally wrong.
Derbs has been used sparingly due to the fact that he is a great impact player.
Not the best scenario but being young and able to learn and develop from better players, i can only see him improving.
Just look at the run and finish at Newcastle plus his finish against Boro that shows his quallity plus he won 3 penalties for Rovers last season which in 2 games proved to be decisive.
Thats an impact leading to 12 points.
Mny players attributes often get flagged through the pro zone results, again something that has backed Derbs up to be fair.
You must be a decent supporter travelling from Wrexham, thats a good hour, but your way off with your "ins and outs" but hey footballs all about speculation this time of the year.
Thanks for your views Jmaie.

Hey Open your Eyes, I think I can guess who you are (or are pretending to be!!) If im right I think I played against your team a few years ago and we lost 9-1. Got the 1 though- not that it made much difference! Maybe wrong age group. Anyway good season and hopefully I can get my season ticket back:)
It wasnt Stanley Pre-season or Great Harwood.
Who did you play for?

Thanks Dean, and all Rovers fans for your support!
I was probably playing Junior football then.
I can't say to much because as you have seen already people jump at the chance to throw an insult or two so its just not worth the hassle.
I just hope that next season myself and the team can progress and finish in the top 6.

As for your 'Fulham won as much as you' comment I do have to correct you on that. BRFC through it's league position alone should inform you that BRFC have won more than Fulham. Quite possibly £3/4 million. So on that note you have to stand corrected. The only comment that holds any water is BRFC failed in it's attempt for Euro. Much better to attempt a Euro place than not at all.I'm sure most BRFC fans would agree with that. Now,as I said in yesterdays post what the fu*k do I care what you have to say? A response from me is purely courteous. As I say you must speak in broader terms otherwise what is the point?
Do your homework.
Fulham have quallified for Europe through fair play league.
Its not 100% yet but as close as **** it!
It makes you lot look worse now!
Dirty Blackburn! naughty dirty Rovers!
So truth is Fulham rewarded with Europe Rovers NOT IN EUROPE AS MANY OF THIER DELUDED FANS PREDICTED!!
HAHA AND YOU CALL GEORDIE FANS DELUDED!!!

Bob wrote: What? No Burnley, Preston or Bolton players in the England squad?its not as if warnock is going to play hes terrible, ask for bentley he will be lucky to start as his form of late has been shocking, so bob what would you say to me a man u fan after just winning league and playing in europe next year. iam so glad your lot didnt get to europe as your an embarrasment always getting knocked out early your a disgarce its bad when teasm like aberdenn get get furthur than you in europe ha ha ha and getting beat 4-1 of a relegated team speaks for it self sing up for the champions
I would also ask why are you taking umbrage at a dig at our local rivals when Utd have got £70m worth of talent in the squad (but still only two more players than Rovers).
Although probably not quite as ecstatic as you, I have to admit to some relief at not qualifying for the Intertoto. Since we don't have the multi-million pound resources at our disposal to be able to put out 2 Premiership quality sides, I believe Intertoto football is a distraction for a club the size of ours. I think it would be better for us to have a conventional preseason and be able to concentrate on the league and earning a UEFA cup spot outright (like when we reached the knock stages in 2007) and maybe even have a concerted effort at pinching the bottom Champions League spot off Arsenal or Liverpool. We have finished in the top four on three occasions in our recent history, so it's not entirely out of the question.
Whatever happens, we have still finished in the top third of the Premiership, above the vast majority of the bigger spending clubs that inhabit this and the other leagues, and whilst we are annoying the likes of you and any other pretend glory hunting supporters that'll do me just fine.

I have no problem with people in disagreement, but what's with all the childish personal abuse, towards your own fellow fans?
The stats don't lie. Uefa cup has proved to distract teams over the years, and The fixture congestion could still cost rangers the SPL title.
