Some oddball stuff - some not so oddball - posted on various Blues fan forums down the years . . . enjoy!

I admit that many of these graphics ain't so
goofy, or worse still, not anywhere near the best graphic design either!
I also admit I've come a long way since those days, and now have a graphic
design website at JohnBakerDesigns.com.
This first graphic is a mock up of a magazine cover for which I had taken the
shot at a game versus
Sheffield Wednesday some years ago. I loved being able to include a Blues slant!
KRO, John Baker

I've reworked some of the following memes 15
years on, but now to the mostly much older embarrassing stuff! . . .

Greetings after Mikael returned from a along injury layoff. |
|
|

Robbie Savage's new baby |

This must have been when Dugarry was dropped. |
|
|

Andrew and Evan Baker send Christmas greetings.
|

The original shot was taken when Devs signed for Blues on loan, then came his baby.
Odd that he
looks a lot like our Evan. [the baby that is] |
|
|

Darren Carter's new hairstyle kinda reminded me of an Osprey's nest
|

Kevin Ball on the Joys and Sorrows forum took the shot of the cross on Dartmoor,
and then someone suggested Robbie Savage should be hung from it. |
|
|

|
|
|

Clinton Morrison let's me know what he thinks.
|

Dave in New Zealand downs some questionable looking elixir. |
|
|

|
|
|

Evan shows his intelligence at an early age.
|
|
|

Me license plate in Idaho. One of 'em anyway.
|
|
|

We got back to the Prem and sucked up to the Refs.
|

This shot was announced under the heading,
'Naked babe in a Blues scarf'! Naughty, huh?! |
|
|

Ashley Cole of Arsenal
got our Cisse sent off by feigning an injury . . .
|

. . . then someone mentioned that
'cheat' was all over his face, so I obliged!
|
|
|
|

Blues fan 'Macca' wanted to see our boy Andrew in Blues gear and generously sent
over a package of Blues stuff that was most generous. Here Andy models the gear.

|

I'd not long returned from Monument Valley, and got the chance to use this
before our semis versus Milwall.
|
|
|

We were all kinda down after drawing the first leg
at home to Milwall, 1-1. Soooo . . .
|
|
|

Another morning after the game exhortation, and
yes, we made it to the playoff final versus Norwich! |

Son Andrew
predicting
success the
night before
we beat
Norwich
in Cardiff |
|
|

A bold prediction from moi the morning after our win at Milwall |
|
|

The morning after the win at Milwall.
This signifies that the black clouds are
moving away from St. Andrews
and that there really is a silver lining
|
|
|

Morning of the playoff final versus Norwich in May, 2002 |
|
|
 |
Well, the pictures tell the story . . .
|

Darren scores
the winning
penalty, wheels
away and a
meat
pie narrowly
misses him!
[now there's some
rheet gratitude for ya'!] |
|
|
|
|

Kinda believable don't ya' think?
|

I'll forget for a mo
that Pete Townshend
is a QPR fan!
This was from the 1970
Isle of Wight rock festival
which I attended.
The horrible part is
that I actually bought a
copy of this programme. |
|
|

January 13th, 2002, and Evan is dreaming BIG! |
|
|

Andrew was touted as a future
Blues keeper the day he was
born - by me of course! - and this is one of
several updates.
Not bad for a 15 month old, eh?! |

Andrew again. Can you guess what the topic was? |
|
|

Having just alighted from the mother ship [centre], Neil [right] prefers
*Dave's cash to his ale. Now that IS weird!
*[not in NZ] |

How prophetic this
came to be even
though our season
at Christmas 2001
looked to be over.
The bambino is my son Andrew. |

Standing next to St. Andrews, this is how I prefer to remember my city! |

Mid sixties Beau Brummie sticker I found
in my autograph book recently |
