Went to many a game at Griffin Park in my younger days. Good they ended there on a high.
They have a few decent players. Ollie Watkins looks like a good prospect. Can see him stepping up with the likes of Southampton, Brighton or Palace.

I like Thomas Frank, a very astute, cerebral and down to earth coach who has moved the club up a level after Dean Smith left. Brentford really are a model club, very impressive indeed.

Pontus Jansson is a cracking central defender, thought Leeds would really feel his loss last season.

For sure. Behrahma however could go even higher. Would love to see what Bielsa could do with him...

West London Derby it is next Tuesday. Should be a decent game.

Cardiff are like a throwback from a few years ago. Team of giants and get it in the box. Not very pretty.

Fulham’s Kamara was a real handful. Deserved a goal or two with his power and speed. Another good play off match. Far more keen on Brentford winning next Tuesday than Fulham. They’ll be a breath of fresh air in Premier League.

Benrahma is class, we should really have broken the bank to get him last Summer. Nothing I’ve seen from him this season has made me change my mind although Ollie Watkins is on a different level too. Are Chelsea likely to bid for Benrahma, Jon? I heard weeks ago that they were going to but pretty sure Brentford will fight to hold on to him if they go up.

It’s been mentioned. I think a lot will depend on Willian signing a new contract. If he doesn’t then will probably need to be replaced.

Always hopeful when any new manager comes to Blues, and no exception with Karanka. Hope the fans and the owners get behind and support him, and give him a fair chance.

Monk seems to carry bad luck with him wherever he goes. Shame. :D

He’s one of those that I don’t like but can’t quite put my finger on why.

Rather like Sherwood, he has the red eyes of a man who gets pissed before midday.
