Things Others Say About Brentford FC

[psg150]

Wondered if it might be good to have a thread where this stuff can be collated - starting with the link to the Saints fans views on our game yesterday.

https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?58508-Brentford-Away-22-07-15-00/page5#.WXR4DYXTWEd

Impressed with the football and with Jota (unsurprisingly..)

If it's bad idea, shut the thread mods..

 

[wanderer paul]

Good idea

 

[GP200]

Good idea

..............wow...............

 

[Full Metal Jacket]

Crikey, they're taking it pretty seriously. It was only a pre-season game. With all the substitutions I don't know how you can draw many conclusions from it regarding either side.

 

[Rob-BEE]

To be fair, most of it seems to be a fairly amusing mutual sl*g off of Fraser Forster!

Coming back from the Oval on Friday I was speaking to a Muff and Brizzle fan , had nothing but good stuff to say about our club , Only gripe Brizzle fan had was they never seem to beat us lol

I can remember once when they did.

Did he have to bring it up, I still come out in hives and break into a cold sweat at the thought of Samson strolling around the pitch laughing and joking without a care in the World as he chatted to Leroy Rosenior whose hat trick had sent us down!

They are right though, hugely overrated goalkeeper. I presume a gentleman named redkeith said "The Brentford keeper would not have let in the last goal." Perhaps they are right, though Dan had his fair share of poor goals last season, which by all accounts do not come close to his vast number of important saves and performances. He's solid and dependable up-and-coming goalkeeper and for us that is dangerous especially when a premier league team comes to GP and sees their unchallenged first choice England international concedes a goal like that while Dan does what he does well.

Are you Brentford or Brentwood

 

[Travel Tavern Bee]

Sorry he did say at GP

 

[TW3Bee]

Sorry he did say at GP ��

There was a time when we always won at Ashton Gate and they always won at GP.

"Brentford were dirty as usual, foul after foul and had it have been a league game would've had numerous yellow cards. Have to say they are not a club I like and was disappointed to have a pre season game against them."

"A decent effort against a good Brentford team..."

"....the speed at which the 5 Brentford substitutes played....."

They are trying to invent a rivalary.

Might be a bit easier if they chose one of their nearer neighbours who they play more often.

Oops there aren't any

They do seem to have a thing with Peterborough, for some reason.

Could it be because both clubs are run by complete ****heads?

If that was the case they would have a rivalary with more than half e teams in the EFL.

Fair point

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

QPR and Fulham both agree that we are lovely neighbours, never a minutes trouble. More than happy to feed the cat while we're away.

That feels like a compliment from some Johnny come lately day patient who supports a plastic club.

Both "new" towns in their day, people who moved their with optimism of a promised land and found reality was roundabouts and concrete cows.

I noticed this on the Derby County forum dcfcfans, on their thread about Ollie Watkins:

Definitely missed out here, but I can understand why players would like to go to Brentford and he may have chose them over a lot of other teams.

Their record of improving players and selling them on is great. He will see them as a stepping stone for him to push on and it's one of the best places to do it.

Amazingly there is a fan on there that thinks Sheff Utd should have replaced the guy that just them promoted with someone with 'championship experience'!!

Hmmm. :suspect: Quite a sensible bunch. A bit disappointing. Hardly a **** amongst them.

Not far enough up the road!

Not quite what other fans think about us but the Forest fans' 'Hopes and Expectations' thread seems to be summarised by this post:

I'd take finishing the season with the same manager we started off with.

Seen a tweet from a Dulwich supporter saying we were the best team they've faced pre season.

High praise indeed when you consider their other opponents have been Crawley, Hampton and Richmond and Cray Valley!

Just seen that. Mind you, a Crystal Palace XI. Probably not Crystal Palace then.

In which case, they didn't really play Brentford FC either.

It's still good to hear that our B team is getting praise.

Prediction season it seems with just a week to go, still amazes me how many people still pick us to struggle. Clearly not being a big club and not having too many high profile signings obviously makes us an easy target amongst the less educated fan or pundit.
