Brentford look so good. If we finish 6th we going to get smashed anyway.
Good for us mind as now puts more pressure on West Brom to win
Brentford sell their players every year and still manage to replace them

1-1 Preston now.🤨
We need Brentford and Fulham to pose a threat to Leeds.Quote:

Brentford are only one win from becoming second (with a much better GD than Leeds).
Could Leeds panic ?
Funny how different it looks a week later. Last sat we went 9 clear of Bristol City. They are now winning 3 nil at boro to go 3 points behind.
Kind of been similar to our season though, look out of it, couple games later back in with a shout.
Not a bad set of results at all.
There is even an argument that the Bristol City win will help us - make them more likely to take points from Preston and the Jacks.
Shame Millwall got 3 points. Otherwise almost perfect!
I've heard they have a pretty good youth system and have recruited youngsters from around here. Good luck to 'em!Quote:

Chris Mepham is the perfect example. Released by Chelsea, picked up by Brentford and sold on for millionsQuote:

The theory is fantastic, let someone else develop the player, save on time, staff, an academy and save a shit load of money. Their new ground looks tidy as well.Quote:

You're in Nottingham? What's it like compared to cardiff? From what i've read, it takes a bit of a hiding.Quote:

Its alright, it has its rough parts like any other city, though there are parts of Nottingham that you would definitely want to avoid. Cardiff is a nicer city and is a bit more affluentQuote:
