Not average for Brentford though, considering over the last 40 years our "average" has been about 12th or 13th in the third division.

Oh dear, is it half term already?
What a poor comment. We are no where near the Premier League because of one person, he's now in Scotland, it has nothing to do with MB. If MB was 'boss', we'd have probably had a much better chance last year as we would've strengthened, instead of being found wanting at the important stage of the season.

Maybe you should ask them about what they tweet.Ive known them for many years and have never fallen out with them and wouldn't say anything on here that I haven't or wouldn't say to their face.They have their reasons for not being happy about some of the things going on at the club and I expect you can pay £2.50 to find more about that in the coming weeks.I think Beesotted have taken the old fanzine ( which TITS led the way) to a new level due to the great time and effort Dave Lane and Billy put in with there up to the minute news and the fact they go to every game home and away added to the fact they seem to have the inside track these days.This maybe where the problem is but I find it pretty hypocritical of calling fans who get inside information very unprofessional when they have made a career out of it over the years.I just wish everyone could get on like the 600 of us did yesterday.

If MB isn't "very clever", how do you explain last season's excellence? Don't tell me. Warburton?
Matthew Benham
Maybe you can support rangers then , i hear theyre playing cracking football in the famous scottish championship, or fulham seem to be doing quite well!

Do you have a map handy? Does it have Glasgow on it? If so, the man you're after is in that City.

I reckon him shutting down his social media stuff is his way of telling people to do one, you and I might tell them to do one but MB has be above all of that, he simply has to leave the room, what do these morons actually want, I'd love to know, our Irish friend at least admits that it's all about Warbs, there lies the main problem IMO, I wish the players who want him back would feck off and take the fans with the same wishes with them.you getting all stroppy and going benny is what hed be laughing at colonel.....calm down or you'll have a fkin heart attack and i dont want to be made responsible for that lol lol

I wasn't picking on you - honest - but more contrasting the call for PR with the constant stream of negativity that comes from some quarters. While I really don't think "official" PR would achieve anything except be picked over ("I think he really means... and back to my own agenda") by the naysayers, I do agree that some more friends in addition to Sean Ingle would help to counter the drip-drip-drip that feeds the ignorant. It is much better to have positivity from "independent observers" than press releases.
We have a good example currently: snidey comments about Judge emanating from SSN in this transfer window and the attitude that we should hand over any player to a perceived big club who asks. There is an incredibly positive human-interest story that has had no "journalistic coverage" at all: the loan of Jota. Why is this?
- It's a good news story... and, in England, good news is not newsworthy.
- It's about an economic migrant... and interest in "foreign" players is reserved for the top 6 clubs... until they leave.
- It shows BFC - and particularly MB and the D'soF - in a positive light.
- It is all too complicated to work out and involves another European country with another European language.
- Jota is blamed for a certain player being given the heave-ho.
- It's just "smarter" to persist with negativity.
- ... etc.
It's a great pity that none of the well-known bloggers has not picked this up; it could make them a positive hero... but would probably make them a target.

Some of these cretins are nearer to my age than a teenagers.

They linked to an article by Nick Bruzon, written on Friday, that said if we carry on playing as we are then we'll be in the Ryman Premier League in three seasons time.........

lol behave! Welcome to the club.................. Where have you been for the last decade?? I take it you never saw us playing football in 2006??
I think you will find the person who you deem to have turned us into an average club wanted to strengthen last Jan but some individual/messiah decided it was best to stick with what we had...................... And guess what, that individual now north of the boarder couldnt get us promoted either.
And for what its worth, if hes turned us into an average side playing average football i will take that every day of the week over the Dog S**t standard ive watched all my life.
Keep up the positivity pal........................... Im sure your in the brigade that sees us playing non league football in 3 years.......................... Oh wait MB already saved us from that.

Think he's a friend of Stanner on the Alan Judge thread. Ignorant (perhaps deliberately) of the facts of our recent and not so recent past. Either that or deliberately trolling!

I am not a disciple of Matthew Benham, but I do realise his huge contribution to our Club. Someone said on here that we are an average side playing average football. Well, I say to them I would much rather support an average side in The Championship than the rubbish I have had to endure in League 1 and 2 for most of the last 50 years I have been supporting this club. Benham saved this club from oblivion. To the doubters - for Gods sake wake up!

Brainwashed mate, a disciple of Benham indeed, what does that mean exactly, if it means I follow the team around the country and am enjoying doing so then I'm in, if it means I'm so pleased MB turned up at BFC then count me in again, if it's a snidey little dig by a pair of ***** then I'm no so pleased.

As someone who first watched the Bees beat Workington in 1970 and then not a lot until the mid 1980's and an awful lot since mainly at home,i will be more than happy if we become an average Championship side for the next few seasons. We are not a big club and due to the small size of our stadium we cannot generate enough income from matchdays to really compete with a large number of teams in this division with regards to wages and transfer fees, but we are in a better state than some teams, look at Charlton. Until Lionel Road is built and we can generate some decent matchday incomes we are always going to be a buying and selling club, as MB does not have bottomless pockets.
As for Nick Bruzon saying we will be in the Ryman Premier in 3 seasons does this mean the FA are going to disband the Conference ?

A disciple is so one who follows a belief in something they feel is good. So those that don't buy in are non believers and go and find solace with others beliefs. Maybe they really do want league 2 trips again

A disciple is a follower or pupil of a teacher, leader, or philosopher. It is neither snide or a dig at anyone. I am surprised you might think it so.
Matthew Benham
I'm actually gobsmacked. Struggling to believe people actually slate Benham.
The man turns the club from something heading towards non-league and puts into a position where we're in with a chance AGAIN to get into the play-offs for the Premier League. A man who wants to use years of experience within gambling and statistical analysis to make us a self suffecient club that can compete with clubs bigger than us (which we're doing already)....and people still moan, because what, he didn't agree with Warburton's vision???
My daaaaaaaaaaaays.

I apologise if that's not what you meant but I've heard too many people refer to people who are grateful to Matthew Benham described like this in an almost sneering tone.

Nick's now written a piece trying to explain what he meant on Friday. He's now dropped the idea that if we carry on playing as we are then we'll be in the Ryman League in 3 years (I'm guessing because, on reflection, that made him look mental). It seems his main gripe is about the club's media operation.

Since when has a media operation got anyone relegated 3 times?

I've been a Brentford supporter since 1963 - its in my DNA. I sat in that drafty Bramaer Road stand in the winter of 1966 with my Dad, when this club was threatened with oblivion. I followed the club home and away for two decades after until my work and health made it too difficult. I am not a follower of any person dead or alive, but I can tell you absolutely that I recognize the contribution he has made to my football club. Nay, the very existence of our club is down to him. Let no one say it is not so.
