    Lamine Yamal

    To be fair to Beckham I don't think the celebrity trappings stopped him working at his game. He was a decent talent but never outrageously gifted and he pretty much maxed out his talent. Players like Rooney or Robinho are far better examples of players whose celebrity entourage and trappings...

    Steve Bruce

    Maybe, its also partly the big name player effect see Lampard and Gerrard.

    Steve Bruce

    To be honest that has been true of British managers of virtually any managerial heritage over the past 20 years or so.

    Each to their own opinion, I disagree completely.

    Will we win the league this season?

    A lot of people seem certain we can't. I can't see the future and I've no idea how the rest of the season is going to go for us or our realistic title rivals. I'm pretty certain though that we're already playing much better football than last season and I'm going to enjoy watching us try to win...

    Brentford (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Different keepers but his ball playing wasn't just about assists it was also about being a press resistant backline which allowed us to 'drop teams' more readily and maintain pressure. Must confess I was a little sceptical about Donna but delighted with him so far.

    Brentford PL (A) | Man of the Match

    I gave it to Gonzalez, there were actually a lot of OK performances but not much consistent over 90 minutes. He protected the back 4 didn't waste possession and was better than a lot of his critics suggest.

    Brentford (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Did you watch the first half.?There keeper made a blinding save, Foden missed a good chance and we were in but couldn't quite finish a couple more times. Second half wasn't great but apart from Gvardiols missed header they didn't threaten, though part of it was probably their lack of creativity.

    Brentford (A) - Sun 5th Oct, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    Doku has had quite a history of muscle injuries, he will doubtlessly play for Belgium. They are maybe trying to avoid further injury

    Football facts that you didn’t know

    St Johnstone is actually a bit more of a place name than a lot of Scottish clubs. Perth was known as St Johns Town because of the kirk there. Hibernian or Heart of Midlothian are a bit more separate.

    Autophagy (and fasting).

    Tutankhamen was known as the boy King and died aged about 18. Not sure that I'd want to follow his method of achieving health and longevity.

    Knee replacement surgery

    They don't usually bother with that for knee replacements though, too much like hard work.

    Savinho extends his contract to 2031

    I guess it's in the eye of the beholder but I have seen plenty to suggest he has lots of talent. He has had a lot of great dribbles , created decent chances, has excellent ball control. His application around the talent remains uncertain but I would be surprised if many people agree regarding...

    Savinho extends his contract to 2031

    None of us know the terms of his deal, my guess is that it will be heavily incentivised for improvement and if he doesn't perform the club won't be paying him huge sums. Generally the club are not stupid,

    30 | Claudio Echeverri - 2025/26 (on loan at Leverkeusen)

    He had a few minutes with a little promise in the FA cup, I don't recall him playing at all in the premier league. Sav has been varied but he has scored goals and created chances in the premier league But above everything my point stands that they don't play in the same position so one really...

    30 | Claudio Echeverri - 2025/26 (on loan at Leverkeusen)

    We don't actually know what offers were made.I suspect some of the figures in the press were wildly inflated. Sav and Echeveria actually play in different positions whatever one thinks of their relative merits and we saw very little of him.
