Sheff Wed and Birmingham are clubs with fans that think they have a devine right to be at the top table. In reality it makes them a laughing stock and universally disliked. Deluded for both clubs is I think pretty apt.

I don't see Birmingham as a big club, do you? (serious question)

You can defend well as a team - and that can be a good team performance, deserving of a result. But that usually means stopping opponents from creating clear cut chances.
It's evident that it was only their outstanding keeper who stood in the way of a convincing Charlton victory. One man a team does not make - so hardly a deserving point for Birmingham.
Clark is under a lot of pressure at Birmingham on all fronts and no one would be that surprised if he got the push ( not that I wish that on anybody, save possibly for Pardew ). One of the reasons he perhaps hasn't is that Birmingham probably can't afford the compensation and/or a replacement at the moment.
They are a strange side aren't they - lots of individuals doing their own thing and probably thinking that their future lies elsewhere, given the parlous state of the club's finances.
his comment was the standard shite a manager holding on by his fingertips comes out with .....plus he is not the sharpest knife in the draw.. ..he will be gone by the end of the season ,,,,,

sat behind the away dug out on saturday - and he kept on turning round to his team saying 'f**king diabolical' 'why didn't he cross it' 'f**king useless' regularly. it was hilarious to watch.

Perhaps that's also what his Chairman thinks of him?
What else should he say? "We were flukey bastards who didn't deserve anything?"
Any manager (including SCP) would say similar things, "hard earned point, reward for our efforts, lads didn't let their head drop etc"
Did Birmingham create 'numerous chances'?
No but the majority if their fans don't know that as they were not there. If you tell people a lie enough times then they will believe it it probably his mantra. However, in the modern world of communications there will be enough "blues" who were there that will have blogged or tweeted or even that quaint old way of communicating chatted the truth making him and most managers look like twats.
Serious observation about Lee Clark. Swear to God I'm not being deliberately controversial or insulting. Some of you may remember from the autism thread that I have an autistic teenage son, and Clark's resolute lack of eye-contact, uncomfortable body language and strange speech patterns, have always seemed to me like trademark autistic traits. I mean, the actor Paddy Considine has only just been diagnosed with Aspergers. It might explain a lot.
Most managers give blinkered summaries. That was a particularly blinkered one as I thought the difference in qulaity between both sides was striking - but what he is saying is intended for his own - not us. As most managers that give credit to opponents, give it through gritted teeth, I have no problem with it.
Did anyone catch his interview after the Yeovil game? Gary Johnson had ordered his team to allow Birmingham an equaliser as Yeovil : they'd equalised themselves in normal time after not giving the ball back when Birmingham put it out to waste time/get treatment on their player. After Yeovil went ahead they let Birmingham walk one in and eventually lost on pens. Clark was incredibly sour and graceless. IMO Yeovil had done nothing wrong. Teams constantly use the tactic of knocking it out so their player can get treatment. I think they were well within their rights to continue and didn't owe Birmingham anything. The fact that they gave them the goal back would, I'd think, leave Clark feeling quite humbled, but apparently not. Horrible human being. I kind of doubt he would have acted as generously as Johnson had the boot been on the other foot.
I think he has partially got a point. How many people have serious injuries when they kick the ball out? This is one of my pet hates about the modern game.

However, it is possible for more than one club to be deluded.
The rest were King blazing shots into row z. Plus its the BBC so I doubt its correct.

As the poster above said, manager spin.

However, their manager is a tool. Brum were easily the worst side I have seen this season.
'Nough Said.

If they were having a better season and chasing promotion, then people come to watch.
They've always had big crowds when they are successful.
Worried man blues.
That said, yeah, he is deluded.

The token letting birmingham equalise was a bit too late they should have given them a goal after their moody equaliser
Justice done when Yeovil thought they'd saved the last spot kick but it went in
No real view on Clark apart from divvy norverner
