Brentford (A) - Post-Match Thread

I agree that Brentford did what they had to do last night but it doesn’t make it any more palatable seeing a team park a bus at home in the manner they did. That pitch was awful too and made it hard for us to play our normal free flowing game .. A very good 3 points and well done to the lads, what a team we have..

Brentford are a very good league 1 side and I hope they slide back down there soon .. Mard arsed cunts..!!!!
 
Did think Toney was a wanker throughout the game, real snide one. Brentford were very limited and their game plan was to keep the score down. Most times they had a minimum of 8 behind the ball, including a back 6. They have done reasonably well with the resources they have and made it really difficult for us.

Think Brentford is the ground you see when landing at Heathrow. Suspect their attendance last night was full of non bees fans.

We put in a thoroughly professional performance and the 2 offsides were a damn sight more marginal than I thought last night.

Some players looked tired last night, Ake and Phil both shone. Jack played it a bit safe and I felt could have got more involved.

What I find upsetting is fellow blues calling for grealish to be sold, or that Cancelo is a ****, Jesus is shit etc. They put the shirt on, they deserve our support throughout the game.

I've called out Rodri, Gundogan, Stones, Raz, Jesus,. Cancelo in the past......shows how little I know about football!

It does take players time to get what Pep wants. Players can also have off games without being cunts. Just get behind the team.
 
Ground it out, Fernandinho needs to give his head a wobble though. Thought Dias had an uncharacteristic panic in the first half after giving the ball away, but I credit Ake a lot with being exceptionally aware in our back line. Covered left back and centre back well and for over the halfway look one, something he's been hesitant to do previously for us.

Hope we don't have too many bruises today, a lot of ankle tapping going on last night.

Very odd comment on the BBC though, not sure if it was in jest?:
Have a look at City's bench. How on earth can anyone compete with such riches? CH, Warwick


Yeah, that would be the 2 goalkeepers, one free and one about £5m, the two youth players, zinchenko at under £2m, alongside Sterling, Mahrez and Gundogan. I love it when we just have to name our line up and we're automatically awarded the 3 points...FFS

The fact that others see us as oil financed cheaters with a bigger squad than everyone else may rile us for being ignorantly inaccurate and not giving any credit to the way we play, what we've won and the money we've actually earned through success and sales, but it's also a great weapon in our title challenge...

No point in trying to compete with city because they will just buy another superstar, when we probably won't and if we do the effort in integrating them is huge and potentially destabilising, but if translates to them giving up, not questioning when they don't splash their own cash, and they're not pushing for that 95th min winner.

So, we get the winners prize money, buy a new player, and their prophecy is self fulfilled :)

It's just not fair I say! City keep buying players well within their budget, working harder than anyone else and playing better than anyone else, how on earth is anyone supposed to compete with that?

Well how about less moaning and more effort? You can only beat what is in front of you, is the famous phrase. Well we're in front, right at the top, rise to the challenge or don't, but don't moan about how big the mountain is if you actually have any ambition of climbing it.

Maximum length of grass at premier league grounds is 30mm

Minimum length of grass for rugby 37mm

Most premier league pitches are cut around 20 to 25 mm

At 10mm jump in height is a big increase.

I dont know who's job it is to measure the length before kick off and if a prism is used to measure and what percentage has to be within the range.

Watched it with the commentary switched off for the first time last night, miles better and gives a different view in the game. I thought the ref was good and favoured us, their fans were shit, complete with the usual nu-fan bollocks, one nil and you still don't sing (we did) and wwywyws, do they realise how small time they are?
Anyway, if sky have the no commentary option that's me from now on
 
Brentford fans aren't being very complimentary on their webpages! I wouldn't mind betting that half that crowd had Brentford as their 2nd favourite side 10 years ago .
Just had a look myself. Definitely full of cockney rags and dippers. When you look at their attendances from 10 years ago, well over half their fans must have come from somewhere else.
 
I have no issues with Brentford as a club or fan base. Always refreshing to have a new team come up to the premier league. Prefer the likes of Brentford or Bournemouth than say Burnley or Stoke.

But their fans back catalogue of songs last night was proper 90s lower league stuff. Need to do better than that. I mean the where were you song. Seriously chaps come on you can do better than that.

Not only that, they were doing the "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dog sh*t ahhhhhh" to Ederson. I haven't heard that since the early 90s!

Them singing boring boring City made me laugh. I dont think I have ever heard rival fans sing that about City. Heard us sing it about City as a piss take when 5 or 6 up !
