It's a funny old game ...says Braggley the bingo playing psychic octopus

It's a funny old game, especially when it comes to predicting the results of local derbies, and our very own Braggley the Octopus is rapidly learning that they never work out quite how we expect them to. With all the odds stacked against a win for the Baggies before the match this afternoon and trailing 1-0 at half time following a Cameron Jerome goal, the Baggies came out fighting in the second half and an own goal from Scott Dann put them back on level terms before goals from Peter Odemwingie and Jonas Olsson doomed Blues to their first defeat of the season.

Scott Dann - equalised for the Baggies

It's a great win for the Baggies, which amazingly puts them at the top of the Braggers' League table and Blues, I'm sorry to say (and if you believe that you'll believe anything) taking Villa's recently acquired spot at the bottom.

But with just 3 out of the 20 West Midlands local derbies played so far this season, it's still early days and anything can happen.

(Note: whilst we are awarding bonus points for other factors worth bragging about, the positions in the league are only based on the final scores of matches).
