CAMERON Jerome admits nerves would only be natural in Sunday’s Carling Cup final.

But he insisted that Blues were chilled, calm and focused on the task ahead as the countdown to Wembley continued.

“You are going to be nervous and feel a bit of pressure because it’s a major final,” he said.

“But the pundits and everyone are saying Arsenal are clear favourites and are expecting Birmingham just to roll over and make the numbers up, and it’s a day out for us.

“We are not thinking anything of the sort. We are going there confident that we can upset Arsenal and shock a lot of people.

“We’ve got players who have been involved in big games and major finals before.

“They’ve talked about it in general conversation but no one has gone and asked for general advice and stuff like that.
