Do you know how sometimes you hear stories about the national attention being focused solely around London and the South East?
Well, looks like that same sort of bias occurs in the world of football as well.
After their display against Barnsley on Tuesday night, a number of the Blues players made their way in the Whoscored Team Of The Week.
Whilst fans may be excited to see so many of their players get recognition for their accomplishments, there was one part of the tweet that didn’t sit too kindly with Birmingham City fans. See if you can spot it.

Have you found it yet? Well despite the fact that the Blues had just as many players in their ‘Team Of The Week’ as Fulham, it seemed as if Whoscored were only concerned about how many of the London side had made it into the team.
Needless to say, Birmingham City fans were not happy about it one bit. They tore into the account for seemingly ignoring their team’s accomplishments. Hopefully the backlash was such that they won’t make that same mistake again.
As do Birmingham City

Only Fulham? If you count those again, you'll notice that @BCFC also has three.

@Robbo_4 has been class so far and was dominant vrs Barnsley. I think he’ll establish himself as one of our most important players this year
