daored Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Really interested to see how Brentford fo this season. A club in many ways smaller than us, but with a clear plan over playing style and recruitment. Really hope they stay up, and our board look at their model and how they’ve succeeded. A club that has continued to sell their better players , but improve season on season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumpster1 Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 I think that the advantage they have over us is their location. They pick up lots of young players released by the big London clubs. Bristol is seen as a bit of a backwater by Londoners. Think we missed out on Eze for that reason. I hope Brentford do well. They played decent football in the Championship and did not rely on parachute payments or rich foreign owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Aren’t they the 50th team to play in the Prem? Or is it more than that? Either way, well done them. You wonder how on earth we’ve only been close once in all this time. The reason people don’t like the Prem is because the same few teams are in with a chance of winning each year unlike the Championship… oh hang on… the champ is becoming the same.

I normally am. Doing a football fantasy team always helps with it as it gets you interested in matches like Burnley V Newcastle if you've got a striker playing.

Enoch Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 I find it strange how all fans and pundits are predicting Brentford to have a really strong season and dismissing Norwich. Which team won the championship last season with nearly 100 points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah this excuse i hear our fans use about our geographical location doesn’t wash with me.. Norwich the south coast clubs and the two clubs over the bridge all in arguably the same if not worse locations to us in relation to London and all have tasted the top flight in the last 10-15 years.

They have got where they are through getting 90% of their signings right and appointing a manager who carried on the good work of the last one. A proper plan. They don’t pick up many from the London clubs who go onto be their best players, that I know of. Happy to be proved wrong but they went up last season because of a series of very astute signings from at home and abroad. Bristol City get less than 50% of their signings correct.

Aaghh, FFS! Football didn't start in 1992! The Premier League is the top flight of English football. We have been there. Before some other clubs. All it is is a different f'kin name.

Really hope they go well this season ... I do too. But if they don’t and they end up being relegated they will, of course, have PP and so in the words of our departed leader “ they go again”. The obvious thing is to get promoted and try all that you can to stay there but, spend sensibly realizing that you will probably get relegated.

ExiledAjax Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 There's a bit of jealousy at the limelight Brentford are enjoying (especially whilst they are 1-0 up), but I am trying to turn that jealousy into admiration and inspiration. to see them (and maybe Huddersfield) get promoted does make me think that it genuinely is possible for our club to do the same. It'll take time, work, the right people and a whole bucket of luck...but it is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original OTIB Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 I love the "who the effin hell are you " mentality that Brentford have + pace and power.
