I know we won fuckall but I always see those times as when we turned a corner. Just felt something was brewing.

It was brewing alright in fact it was a fuckin roasting at Middlesbrough :-)

Had Ericsson not been upto it physically wise Brentford wouldn't have renewed his contract & no one would of mentioned loyalty

But he was

And still on the payroll

Plus, they know where the bodies are buried.

But he was

Oh right so because he's fulfilled his contract & it suits Brentford he should stay. Why wasn't he offered a longer contract then
Loyalty is only mentioned when a player wants to leave but the fans dont want them to go but they don't mention loyalty to their former clubs when signing new players.

It would be completely understandable if Brentford weren't willing to give Eriksen a new contact if he didn't prove to be physically wise. Brentford let him train with them for a couple of weeks before giving him game time. Brentford took a risk giving him a one year deal when nobody else was willing to take the chance with him. Personally if I was a Brentford fan I'd be pretty pissed off with Eriksen unless he was joining another club that was playing Champions League football and challenging for trophies.

Its dreadful really. Most of us have a bit of loyalty to our employer but footballers despite being paid handsomely seem to lack this basic quality

I have a bit of loyalty, but if someone wants to triple my wages, my loyalty is out the window.

Well said. Who knows how his family are feeling.
