Just as on so many occasions over the past three years I really do have to pinch myself at the quality of the performance I'm watching from a Brentford side. After 40 years of utterly mediocre route one lower division football these really are the very best of times to be a Bee. We truly...

So am I but I still found myself nodding in agreement at most of the match report in question. We were mostly decent and sometimes very good in the first half without ever quite hitting the rythem and tempo of some recent performances, then seemed to lose the forward momentum in the second...

Very poor. Out fought and outplayed through the centre, completely overrun in midfield, Ryan particularly struggling. Could easily be even further behind. They hit the post just before the first and have threatened every time they have driven forward. We haven't had a shot on target, the best...

At home to the lowest ranked team left in the competition please. We aren't a L1 or L2 side looking simply for a chance of a decent payday now. We are a middling to sometimes quite decent Championship team and should be taking the attitude that, with the luck of the draw and playing to our full...

It was 9-0

I'm worried by the law of averages. We are a more than decent side at present, quite capable of beating better teams than Fulham but you are well overdue something against us in the league and I fear that at some point you are going to get a spectacular revenge for all those thumpings dished out...

Similar to last week at Rotherham.......but against a much better side capable of taking proper advantage of it. No pace, no energy, no creativity. Slow in thought as well as movement. Poor in possession - I've lost count of the number of times Elder has given the ball away - we are being...

The larger German sides tend not to play their pre season friendlies at their home stadiums. They often use local lower division grounds.

A pedant writes: once. The Netherlands was neutral during WW1.

A history pedant writes; when did Belgium surrender to anybody other than in 1940 when in doing so they were in the company of half of Europe? Certainly not in the First World War.

Briefly as in in the car on the way home; that was awful. I went with few expectations and even they were not met. 2-0 flattered us. We were wide open at the back, utterly pedestrian, unable to retain possession, toothless going forward, outmuscled everywhere on the pitch and utterly devoid of...

He may not be but on the few minutes evidence I saw yesterday he will bring the energy, momentum and vision that we currently so desperately lack in midfield. He was more engaged and influential in that time than KK has been all season.

Unbeaten in 5 against Leeds........

It's truly astonishing how far backwards we have gone since last season. The strengths have been dismantled and the weaknesses exacerbated. After an even first 15 mins when we were ok but no more we then imploded. If it wasn't for the woodwork and Button it would be five. Soft defence, non...

Definitely up for that :sorted:

Good going WP. We've still got another half an hour to GP on the coaches. It's going to be 4.30am by the time I get home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You and me. We both deserved today. I just wished my Louise had been there to share it with me. She would had been so excited for me. The news of Rio Ferdinand's wife added an extra poignancy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some more video - 'cheerio', firecracker and general disbelief. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqLo506z3TE

Thanks. I'm getting by - and days like today are a good distraction.
