Original subtitles

Do you guys see wet bits?

No. That was just the last view.

Hey, what's up, bud?

See ya, man. We gotta fly across the ocean to see one of them.

You look sharp, man. You do, too.

And you're only 10 minutes late, which we're used on time. Well, I mean...

let's go.

How many years have we worked together?

A long time.

It's been a long time. It's been a long time.

It's been a long time.

Your boy's coming for you.

Early enough.

Tom Brady.

Touchdown.

You feel like we're just going to see you later go through football.

I have to do.

That's bullshit.

That is complete.

That is bullshit.

They're all out here.

So, what's going on? Where do you have going? Like, I mean, what am I walking

into?

So, we have this team, Birmingham City.

Okay, so you're an owner.

Yeah. Okay. It's the second biggest city in the country. It's two hours north of

here. Right. It's kind of a tough town. More like Cleveland.

Yeah. Like Cincinnati.

Hardcore. Yep.

So, we bought it, and we're in the league above where we're in right now.

Okay. So, there's the Premier League.

Yeah. Has the top 20 teams. Yeah. And there's the championship.

Right. There's the league below that.

Right. And then league one.

Yeah. Which is what we're in right now. Okay.

So today, this game right here is a cup final.

And this is for what they call the vert trophy.

Oh, that's cool.

But there'll be 70 ,000 fans.

Yeah. And it's a serious game. Yeah.

If we win this, it's kind of like the best season we could have had. Right.

We've got a big one today.

This is going to be exciting for all of us.

Being at Wembley is a dream come true, and hopefully we have much more to

celebrate later this afternoon.

Thank you guys for your amazing support.

Keep right on.

Brave St.

Andrew and his 12 apostles, what's your dream come into view?

Frozen in a moment with my hand above my head.

Never let them tell you we were anything but blue.

I think we've had a lot of stupid people in the past running Birmingham.

I think that the management that we've had in years gone by have been useless.

And I think the ownership have been pathetic.

And I think now we've actually got people on board that are best in class

everything is in place.

Or should we say all our ducks are in a row?

Quack, quack.

We're on the way back, mate.

I've been going to Blues for years and years. I've never seen anything like

this.

Every single week.

It's fantastic.

The team seems together.

They all seem like they're having a laugh.

Yeah.

We're on the journey and we're happy to be on the journey. Never seen anything

like this before.

Best in the country.

We are.

Yeah, man.

Birmingham, 14 games unbeaten. Their players celebrate with a darling power.

Everything is absolutely brilliant.

Their manager, Chris Davies, is implementing a Brady -like win. He's

unbelievable. It looks like a proper football club.

They look like a bloody good football team there, Birmingham, which is quite

unbelievable. And I haven't said that for years.

It's the most wonderful feeling, isn't it?

I was going to say, better than an orgasm. What do you think?

It's been a really, really good season.

The lads have done superb.

I'm playing for a massive club, trying to achieve something special.

The pressing was good.

That's the...

But I'm going through a period of not really doing much for the team.

At the minute, I'm not scoring.

I put a lot of pressure on myself.

But you have to make sure that you're ready to step on that pitch because you

just never know in football what might happen.

It's another huge night at St Andrews as Blues look to book our place in the

Virtue Trophy final.

After narrowly losing out to Newcastle in the FA Cup, the Virtue Trophy of

course offers another opportunity for teams in Leeds 1 and 2 to make it to

Wembley. Now Stansfield on the top, lots of finish.

Jay Stansfield at his very best.

There's a reason why they paid so much for him.

And you just got an example of it there.

Jay's an amazing player.

He's played a big part in our success this season.

He's full of energy. So I love attacking players that play with sort of heart

and soul, you know, and he'll run and he'll chase and he'll do all that stuff

for you.

So it's very, very important for us.

Another ball forwards to find Dow, who in turn finds Willemsen. Now Stansfield.

Into the Bradford box, cutting inside.

Goes to ground.

Stansfield is still down as Bradford play on here.

Now the chance for Patterson who surges forward here.

Sasevic, he's got options in the middle. Can he find one and get Bradford a

level?

Game on here at St Andrews.

Jace Stansfield still down inside the Bradford City box.

Perhaps as if the stretcher is going to be required.

And this is a real problem for them.

When you see someone go down and they're staying down and you know it looked

awkward, it's really scary to be honest.

St Andrews is going to rise on all four sides here as they show their

appreciation for their star striker and hero here.

So, so sad to see.

When you're on the pitch, you're

playing for one badge, and that's what brings you together.

These are your brothers that you're playing alongside.

In my opinion, he was taken out.

At the same time, you can use that as fuel.

Cool, right?

They just scored off one of our players getting hurt.

OK, then.

What a... sends in the cross. Dykes looking to get on the end of it!

And he does just that!

Birmingham City 2, Bradford City 1.

Let the celebrations begin.

Birmingham City have a day out at Wembley to look forward to.

This is what you've done.

I've not seen it like this since I've been here. That's absolutely rocking,

buzzing. You've done that.

You've done that. You've created something special.

We're going to Wembley.

Big news coming out of St Andrews tonight.

Star striker Jay Stansfield has been rushed to hospital.

It's unknown at the moment just how long he'll be out for.

Regarding Jay Stansfield, Birmingham City's hopes of securing automatic

promotion from League One may depend on the fitness of Jay Stansfield, who was

hospitalised after suffering an injury during their 2 -1 EFL trophy win over

Bradford City.

Hopefully he'll be alright, but there's a picture on social media this morning

of him with crutches.

When he's not played, we miss him. Hopefully, he only misses three or four

games. He's the main guy, and we've got to win this league. That's the most

important thing to all blue fans.

We've had

some

really tough injuries lately, which have been brutal.

But we've got to continue to push forward.

We are developing a culture.

When one goes down, another is ready to step in.

That's what happened to me.

In my second year, the starting quarterback, Drew Bledsoe, who signed a

-year, $100 million contract, he got hurt.

Oh, my.

Oh, look at Drew.

Boy, that was some collision.

And 22 years later, they never took me off the field.

So, Tom Brady gets his first career start in the National Football League at

quarterback. Brady, back to throw.

Fires, open, caught.

Touchdown, Wes Walker!

Back to throw, looks, looks. Fires, end zone, touchdown.

It's next man up. It's, you know, focus on the next match.

New England with some running game, and they're winning again with Brady.

Patriot -esque approach.

We still need to finish the season strong.

So other players need to take advantage of the opportunity.

He's made natural replacement because he can affect the press. But he's only

scored in four league games since August.

Everyone needs to come down.

Thanks, Simon.

Blues are inching closer to promotion.

It feels weird being so positive about Blues, but if I had one concern, it's

where the goals are going to come from. Jay's out and Alfie May is on a bit of a

dry spell.

Alfie May just looks a little bit lost at the moment.

He doesn't look the player he was at the beginning of the season.

It's a tricky situation.

He's on his worst run in front of goal in five years and he does look like a

player who's lacking confidence.

It's horrible.

You start questioning everything that you do.

And I blame myself.

My wife's probably sick to death of me. I go home and I complain to her about me

not scoring or I'm this, I'm shit.

Crap at football.

In there.

Up. Just like Daddy. Miss.

In there.

Kick it.

We're going to have to work hard for this, OK?

But the idea for us is to move the ball. Can we get the ball wide? Can we look

to cross this combination from there? You're going to score goals.

You're not going to leave the ball to us. Don't be too hard on yourself, OK?

Give your head up. Give me the chance. Give your head up. Smile. You're going

score. You get more chances than any player I've ever seen in a game. Because

you're so fucking clever.

You're going to score.

We had to break it down to him.

Why do you think we signed you?

And he said, my goals.

Yeah, what else?

And he couldn't answer it.

character, professionalism, the person you are.

And he just looked at me and smiled.

Maybe I was putting too much pressure on myself to score or do something.

Do you know what?

Come on, you can do this.

I scored that first goal. It was a great feeling and the celebrations after were

so good to see.

I went on a little run from them.

Harris slips to Alfie May. The flag stays down.

Maybrow, Blackburn and Alfie May makes it four.

Alfie's one of those. He'll score goals until he's 45 years old. If he keeps

playing, whatever he'll do, he'll always score goals. He'll never leave him.

Another goal for Alfie May, who seems to have put his goal -scoring drought well

and truly behind him.

Alfie, every time he's put in, whether he starts the game or he comes in, he's

got a lot of juice.

And I've always been about juice.

Alfie May back in the goals.

Birmingham City flying here today as they continue to dominate the league.

And more good news for Blues fans.

Jace Dansfield is available again after a spell on the sidelines.

With Birmingham City just one win away from promotion.

A little bit higher every time. Nice and bright. We'll jog it in from the top.

The main job this season, the only job, was to make sure we get promoted.

Someone has said when I first got the job, this is where you'll be.

I would have...

Fitting your hand off for that.

We're in a strong position now, in a commanding position, and we've just got

keep imposing ourselves and stay aggressive, you know. Don't be passive

anything. Just keep imposing what we want to do and put it on to the end of

season.

Well, good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Western Home Stadium.

A win tonight means promotion.

It's as simple as that.

Hello, Jack.

Everyone's here for us. Everyone we know is here for us.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Hello, how are you?

It's the first away game, isn't it? Oh, what an away game, man.

Where were they?

You've got to take you to some rubbish ones first. You can't take you to

promotion.

In recent history, everything about Birmingham City has been negative.

And it's been a long time that supporters have had to part with that.

We've got a great chance here to change the whole image of the place.

Obviously, the owners are hugely back to us, so there's a big expectation.

Hicks out, got on to Hickman, down the left -hand side.

Plenty of time and space to assess his options.

There's so many games and the players are human beings.

They're not robots.

To play 60 games in a season and to play the way we play with the intensity of

the high press, it's hard. The way Chris trains them, they're so fit.

And every single game, the preparation that went into it is like a Champions

League final.

Blues maintain the pressure here.

Blues continue to be in the hot.

I appreciate the intensity. I appreciate the emotion.

That's exactly how I went.

The players have to get on

board, and they have to understand, hey, this is what winning's all about.

He's built up by Blues and he's found Taylor Gardner -Heatman left hand side

the penalty area and it's squirmed up to the goalkeeper and nestles into the

bottom corner.

Blues rotate the lead and are back on track for the championship tonight.

Now it's just about getting over that finish line.

Getting promoted is an amazing accomplishment.

I love that everyone doubted we would do it.

It was the driving force for us.

We've achieved.

promotion with six games to go and we're on to score the most number of

points of any team in all four leagues ever

so basically you could not

ask for more than this

For me to actually get promoted was the best feeling by far because ultimately

that's why I was brought to the club.

What Chris accomplished was amazing in the story.

It's a tough task for a coach.

I'm super grateful personally to have him be the guy that's calling the shots

a day -to -day basis.

that's hard work hard work you've earned it yeah and you've done that you've

done that you've changed this club around this club's coming back for

life so enjoy this enjoy this because you all deserve it every single one of

every staff member every single player you fucking deserve this so celebrate

enjoy it let's do it

Around the place.

Do you want something to eat? Do you want a sandwich? No, thank you. I'll

have a cup of tea. I can't stop thinking about that game last night.

Oh, God, I nearly peed my pants.

I got so excited.

We've had our ups and downs, haven't we?

Do you know what? I am so looking forward now to the future.

This is the first time in so many years that I think, yeah, this is our time.

This is definitely our time.

We're going to get to that championship.

We're going to get to that premiership. And, yeah, I think we're going to do all

right.

Here's some soccer news coming out of the UK.

Tom Brady's Birmingham City.

If you've been following, you'll know they won promotion earlier this week.

Well, now they've just been crowned champions after, get this, Wrexham of

Reynolds and Rob McElhenney fame could only manage a tie in their match earlier

today.

We're the day for our first cup final.

And we've got a game at Wembley.

And ironically today, with Wrexham tying, we won the league. So league one

champs. We got one trophy.

Going for our second tomorrow.

It's pretty exciting.

Get in.

We were finding out just as we got on the bus to travel down to London that

just won the league.

Woo!

Promotion Tuesday, title win Saturday, cup final Sunday afternoon.

Doesn't happen a lot.

I don't think we'll ever have another year like this.

If we finish the season like we started it, this could be the most successful

season in the history of the club based on wins and losses.

I caution everyone that dealing with failure like we did last year is very

to deal with.

We were all very disappointed.

Dealing with success is very hard too, and I've had both.

and when you deal with success, you're going to deal with a whole slew of

issues, and that's okay as long as we come back to work with the same hunger,

the same competitiveness.

I'll have to go work.

Thank you.

To Wes, my great friend.

Thanks, dude. Keep up the hard work. One day you're going to make some of

yourself.

I'm exhausted.

I need a break.

As Birmingham's big day at Wembley approaches, it's looking likely that Jay

Stansfield will start, with Alfie May dropping to the bench.

Lift your collar up.

Under the top button, I need to top that.

They're going to get this.

Sorted. Wait.

Colour down.

Stay there.

I'm pretty sure I mixed my neck wrong, you know. No, no, same as me. Oh, my

Cos I thought I was a 14 and I... All right, there we go.

Fucking hell. I think the colour, but I... Look at me.

Let them mark them.

Thanks, mate. It's all right, mate. I'm absolutely sweating.

Great footage, Jack.

There you go.

Try and be a tight mark.

Already done, darling.

Ready for him to go.

And it's arrived. Our trip to Wembley in the EFL Trophy final against

Peterborough United.

I'm going to go for Birmingham City 4, Peterborough 2.

We've got a game to get to. Come on.

I'm going to bat on 6 -0. 3 -0 Blues. 3 -1, and the man at the

back. Hey, where is Wembley, love?

Wembley! Here we come, here we go, here we go.

Here we go, here we go, here we go.

Here we go, here we go, here we go.

Here we go.

Looking at this magnificent stadium, this magnificent place.

I mean, just look at that.

That's cool.

That's really cool.

Yeah, come on, the Blues!

Great. Beautiful.

Beautiful. I've never seen nothing like it. This is day one of the new dawn of

Birmingham City.

We've lived with that curse.

No nerve at all, mate.

This will be easy meat, this one, mate. Easy meat.

You'd be like brothers all season, working together, being together every

I'm telling you now, this blue machine, no one's going to stop us. This

positivity. I think everything that the Americans have given to Birmingham has

been phenomenal.

I

know

we got a big one today.

This is going to be exciting for all of us.

Being at Wembley is a dream come true. And hopefully we have much more to

celebrate later this afternoon.

Let's go, boys.

Today we play our game.

You're going to walk onto that field as champions.

Champions because you earned it.

So go and dominate the ball.

Dominate the match.

Dominate the game. And let's keep writing our name and our story. Let's

boys!

Gentlemen.

Have a great night. Enjoy.

Have fun.

And so Wembley welcomes the two teams.

Birmingham in their third choice colours of all black today against the all blue

of Peterborough.

It feels like a real rebirth. It feels as though nothing can go wrong today.

It's a free kick in a very promising Peterborough

position.

This is a dangerous spot.

He just hopes his side can settle in a little bit here.

Here's Harley Mills.

In towards Jones.

Going to break for Kipriani.

Oh my word.

Peterborough United are strutting their stuff for Wembley.

Half -time.

Well, well, well.

This is not what many expected.

Was it Peterborough we were down 2 -0 against in 1 -3 -2, right?

Birmingham City with much to do in the second half.

Oh, what a shit first half that was, wasn't it? 2 -0 down.

Keep your fingers crossed.

They started it tired.

What's the remedy for this, man?

He needs to make some changes, doesn't he?

I don't want to win this game so fucking badly.

Anderson's ball picked up by Jones.

Very nearly given back.

And that's a miss.

Leads to Alfie May finding Anderson.

Just got a little overexcited.

Fuck it up there.

I've seen bigger comebacks.

was the favorite a lot when I played.

We played teams that were lesser than us. We hadn't had as good a season. But

that day, we didn't start well early.

Now they're the Goliath.

And now you're fighting uphill all day.

You get the next one.

The next one.

I don't fucking like losing.

That's not... I think people forget that in Tom's long playing career, he

held everyone to a very high standard. And it drove a culture of winning and of

excellence that changed outcomes.

yes, I'm going to stay and do some more dumb things, and yes, we're going to

make mistakes, and yes, we're going to lose matches, but no, we're never going

to quit in pursuing our ultimate goal, and our ultimate goal is to play at the

highest level of football, period, full stop.

Come on, bring it in.

Come here, guys.

Don't let today take away from what's been an unbelievable fucking season,

You guys have four matches left to do something historic.

Nobody put your heads down.

This is Birmingham City.

We're continuing on the path.

Nothing is going to fucking stop us from getting there, okay?

Not one fucking thing.

You guys sit downstairs, shower, and keep your heads up, and tonight we have

fun, okay?

This is one game.

Let's go.

We'll see you guys tonight.

If you're going to achieve the very best in football, there are going to be

matches that you must win.

The club still has to learn.

how to win on a single day when you must win.

Okay, after they get the fucking medals, can we go?

Making excuses isn't going to help us get there.

We owe it to our supporters.

Now we can go. We've been polite enough.

You leave the stadium with a 2 -0 loss.

And it was a little bit deflating for our club because we had all that

going in.

But in sports, when you inject adrenaline and confidence and life into

opponent, well, now it's an all -day fight.

And now they've got all the confidence.

It takes a lot to fight your way out of that.

Now they've become, instead of the fucking underdog, now they're... Yeah,

they were more aggressive even when they were ahead.

We did not play aggressive, even when we were behind.

So, yeah. I mean, they got their confidence, and that was it. Game over.

Top comment on the BTS, the Instagram post right now to the Petersburg fan.

Stick that on the documentary, lad.

Is that right? Stick Thunderlight.

There you go. They're not wrong.

There you go.

Enjoy this shitty league one for the rest of your fucking life, you little

bitch.

Suck on that.

We're not going to win all the time. That's impossible.

But it's not the end, you know. The end is the end.

And I would just keep texting Chris, like, you know, we got to sprint through

the finish line. And I hope everyone who's a part of the club can really

that.

The most important job is already done, isn't it?

How much motivation will the Beets have really pushed?

You can't just throw away these final six games and go on the beach when there

are things to play for.

Now that we're in the position we're in, we're champions, and we've won the EFL

league record.

Oh, thank goodness me!

We are flying!

It's big for Denver, yeah? Such a relentlessness about this Birmingham

Bryce! Bryce! Chris Davies! Thank you!

I think that is extraordinary.

The first time in their history.

Birmingham are on course to become statistically the best team that League

has ever seen. Blues are charging towards the history book.

This is the new direction of Birmingham.

Let's enjoy it. Sit back, bask in the glow.

A win tonight sets a new EFL record.

It is how we made to make it.

Birmingham City have broken Reading's 19 -year EFL record of most points

accumulated in a single season.

This is Chris Davies' first season as a manager. Wow.

Ham and cheese, isn't it?

Who was the first person to land on the moon?

Um... David Armstrong.

No!

Neil Armstrong. Mmm, Neil, that was it. Forgot.

That's the juiciest one, I think, see?

Big elephant.

It's been a big year for us as a family, obviously. It's not just me being a

football manager, it's my family having a husband and a dad who's a football

manager.

We're on this journey together.

As a family, we're all really excited to have you back.

Right, try again.

Mentally, for a few weeks.

Go on, are you in goal?

That nearly hit her bad toe.

It was nice to see all your hard work be rewarded.

I did feel a huge sense of relief.

That was 20 years of work, really.

Look, you haven't got any shoes on, so I can tickle your feet now.

By getting promoted, I felt like that was a moment where I've actually

something, because it's not easy.

I've had the good times and some pretty difficult times as well, so to get that

for me was very special.

Easy.

And we can really cherish it as a club.

I feel like I have a great kindred spirit in a way with Chris. He was

for a long time and he had his own chip on his shoulder and he really was

looking for the right opportunity to prove himself.

And he earned it.

You're champions.

for one final time in this special season.

What's important for me today is that we play like champions.

Blues fans welcome their heroes to the field.

What does a champion do? A champion is unrelenting.

Don't forget what got us here.

We're champions because we run all over everybody this season.

No one could stop us.

I want you to enjoy this.

Enjoy playing.

You're champions.

111 points.

And they know why.

Birmingham City are leading.

So, I think you guys know that Tom, Brady and I have another sport team

investment together.

We thought we'd take you guys to visit them in... Las Vegas.

You got it.

Tommy Wagnat has given up.

Something that no person has ever given Birmingham City, and that's belief.

Until they took over, there was no hope. And now it's like, just can't wait for

the next season.

When I think what it was like this time last year, the last day of the season,

standing here today with the trophy lift and the crowd, it's still where I'd

rather be.

I really believe that, you know, this is it now, this is our time. Definitely

Birmingham City on the rise, 100%. I'm certain that no -one

within the club believes that this is the finished article.

This is the start of that long, long road.

Who's going to stop us, eh?

The reality is once you climb the mountain, that doesn't mean the next

start at a higher base camp.

You start right back with everybody else, and you've got new climbers with

The question is, can you solve the problem so you can still reach the top?

All we've really done as owners is get back to where we started. All that

matters is what's next.

I can't make predictions because I think it's bullshit.

We want to take some risks.

And typically, the more you risk, the higher the reward.

The stakes are higher, the story is bigger, and the best part of the story

just beginning.

And I promise you, this is not the best day that we will enjoy together.

It's not even fucking close.
