Birmingham and Goliath

Friday, June 19th, 2009 at 4:59 pm

The 2009-2010 Premier League Fixtures have recently been published and newly promoted Birmingham City face the daunting prospect of getting steamrolled on opening day by Manchester United at Old Trafford. Birmingham has jumped on several transfers already acquiring the services of Ecuadorian striker Christian Benitez from Mexican club Santos Laguna and American central defender Oguchi Onyewu who has been playing mostly for Standard Liรจge since 2004. Onyewu’s last stint in the Premier League was with Newcastle United in 2007. It didn’t go well and he was kicked back to Standard. However, Newcastle have since been relegated and Onyewu is back in the Premier League. Funny how that works.

The full fixture list can be found here.

    Talk about tough first match ups, if they can get through a Man U match without being destroyed it could help with games to come.
