Lanterne Rouge Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Fair play to them, what a start to the season they`ve had. They don`t seem fazed by the step up at all. Success for a club doing things the right way has to be applauded. 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Was going to post this earlier. What a game that was and also a decent post-match interview with a clearly shattered Pontus Janssen (sp?) Will be following them with interest this year, they seem to do things the right way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasbuster Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Certainly making a better fist of it than Norwich, who should know by now what is required in the PL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 If ever there was a club setting out a template for success at our level, it's them. Not massively financed and with modest crowds by virtue of living under the shadow of bigger neighbours, what Brentford have achieved is awesome. And you knew the same logical, deliberate, professional approach would continue into the Top Flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Twitter I saw Jah Wobble, former bass guitarist in Public Image Ltd and all round good bloke, congratulate them but wisely point out it is finding the model that fits your club, not copy their somewhat unique one. Wonder if he’s available to start doing Football Focus? Far better insight than ***** like Jenas & Savage.. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Just now, GrahamC said: Spurs. Ah right. I had sort of assumed that with Rotten and his mates being big Arse fans, he would be too. I did read his autobiography and perhaps Spurs were mentioned there, but I was too turned off by his constant chip-on-the-shoulder, little-man-syndrome to take that detail in. One of the few music autobiogs I've read that diminished the writer in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Was great to see them attack and not sit back like most teams against the likes of Liverpool. They will cause teams problems especially with the 2 strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a joke, it was like watching Lose Women! I actually turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few music autobiogs I've read that diminished the writer in my eyes. Bit obscure (but liking the tangent that this thread has taken), Wolfgang Flur, out of Kraftwerk, one of music’s most influential ever groups, wrote the worst autobiography that I have ever read. Written by someone with such a high opinion of himself, you were only the ******* (electronic) drummer mate, Florian Schneider (RIP) & Ralf Hutter were the 2 actual geniuses. Bit like if Ringo had reckoned that McCartney & Lennon owed all their success to him, I never finished it, but what a complete tosser.

Bit like if Ringo had reckoned that McCartney & Lennon owed all their success to him, I never finished it, but what a complete tosser. I read that one - I Was A Robot, isn't it called? - and rather liked it, until it came to the interminable bit where he goes into all the ins and outs of his legal dispute with Schneider & Hutter. Both Holly Johnson and John Lydon's books make the same mistake. Legal battles over royalties might be fascinating to you, mate, but to the rest of us they are like the outtakes of an old episode of Crown Court. Just to steer this thread even further off course, two examples of autobiographies of people I had considered utter tossers but who after reading their stories I changed my mind on, are Keith Allan's and both of Russell Brand's. Got given these tomes as presents and was not only surprised I enjoyed them, but left with the feeling that I wouldn't mind a pint with either author. Both as mad as a box of frogs, but entertaining and aware of their own faults. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
