52 h. ago St Andrew’s stardust: Birmingham eye records and Premier League push

Chris Davies’s dominant side have secured League One promotion but the club hope that is just the startOn day one in the job, as Chris Davies surveyed St Andrew’s for the first time last summer, the Birmingham City manager was struck by a damning statistic courtesy of the club historian, Malcolm McHenry: no league side had lost more matches across the previous five seasons. Birmingham were relegated to League One a month earlier after circling the drain for a while. “When you hear something like that, it’s powerful because you think: ‘Wow, there are 92 teams,’” Davies says. “Everyone has suffered so much I suppose I saw an opportunity to change that and this season we’ve won more games than any other team in the country.”Talk about a turnaround.

55 h. ago Andor season two review – the excellent Star Wars for grownups is as thrilling as ever (and funnier too)

Comedy spacecraft thefts, passive-aggressive in-laws and a planet being fracked to death – the revolution just got playful, comrades!Comrades! Welcome back to the revolution. Andor is the Star Wars TV show with the sharpest political acumen: yes, like everything in the franchise, it’s about an underdog rebel movement fighting against a totalitarian empire in space, and it has plenty of thrilling battle sequences, but here there are no Jedi mind powers or cute green backwards-talking psychics. Under the hard-nosed stewardship of writer Tony Gilroy, Andor bins the magic and myth and replaces it with the reality of anti-fascist struggle, where the good guys are ready to risk their lives for freedom. It’s the Star Wars spin-off with the strongest claim to being a proper drama – but, in season two’s opening triple bill, it shows it can do sly, wry comedy too.We’re a year on from where we left off, which is four years before the Death Star blows up at the end of the original movie – the p...
