!james Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 From a City point of view I would prefer Fulham to go up as that would be them & Leeds out of the division, and with Villa staying up too - 3 big clubs (and a chance for other teams for appear on Sky!) Althought it would be nice for Brentford to go up as they deserve it - but if they dont their squad will get ripped apart so hopefully weaker for next season!

BritAbroad Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'd love for Brentford to go up. Would show that being smart with your investments works, and might get other teams looking at that model. Getting more clubs being self-sustaining can only be good for the game, right?

wendyredredrobin Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I've tipped Brentford to go up for most of the season and think they will beat Fulham tomorrow. In reality, I don't mind which of them gets the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brentford do go up, that exclusive club to which we belong, as never being in the Premier league, becomes even more exclusive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 It`s the final most neutrals would have wanted and I`m looking forward to it. I think Fulham will do it (particularly if Mitrovic is back) unless Brentford can really turn it on like we know they can but haven`t in the last few games. Cue a boring 0-0 and penalties now!

Never to the dark side Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Aleksandar Mitrovic fit to play,and I want Fulham to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsham Ed Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Just loved how Brentford have played this season, would love to see them get promoted and next season playing in a new stadium. Would be quite fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Bristolian Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Want Fulham to go up ,1 less "Big" Team next season and Bobby/Joe getting another go in the Prem but would not mind if Brentford won to see how they coped , so basically just looking forward to the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I don't really care but I'd prefer Brentford as Fulham have had plenty of time in the Prem in recent years. Always good to see somebody different up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Really I'd prefer Brentford to go up. However I think if Fulham lose, there's a real possibility that Hughton will end up there. He feels a very good fit for Fulham and is from London anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham going up stops another new club gaining the benefits, so is probably best for us, but as a neutral, I'd like Brentford to gatecrash the Premier League.

Middlesbrough Robin Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 From a City point of view, do we not want Brentford to go up, because they generally outclass us? Fulham on the other hand - we have a pretty good recent record against them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stating your opinion is hardly making a point. Do you expect me to fall at your feet in wonder at your footballing wisdom?? Fulham are absolutely comparable to us. Very similar support, history of being in all 4 divisions. Rich owner who has let his son have control of the club to questionable effect. Both had Alan Dicks and Roy Hodgson as managers with differing success. Their more knowledgeable supporters know we're of similar size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Would prefer Brentford to go up but have a feeling Fulham will do it, plus Fulham to win and both teams to score is 7/1 so that’s worth a flutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their more knowledgeable supporters know we're of similar size. We’re nowhere near Fulham in terms of size. They’ve had twice as many years in the first division, recently played European football (reaching the UEFA Cup final), 30 less years in league 1/2, plus bar the last couple of years they’ve had much better attendances despite being on the doorstep of one of the biggest clubs in the world. They aren’t on the level of Leeds or Villa but they’re certainly a level above us size wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 @Kid in the Riot @The Bard a team that has spent 14 out of the last 19 seasons in the top flight including an intertoto cup win and runners up in the Europa league are bigger than us I’m afraid.
