    Reading & Norwich

    Great afternoon in the cold & wet MadStad on Sat, big numbers travelled and gave the team a noisy backing - especially 2nd half. Bees not at our best, but still more than decent and on another day, with better clinical finishing, we'd have walked away with a more convincing score line...

    3 points at PNE

    Great win against the odds at deepdale, kept playing our stuff despite some pretty aggressive opponents, and the loss of Nico to an iffy looking head smash by Hugill. Add to that the routine concession of 2 fairly avoidable goals and it was a huge win for us. They are decent and unbeaten at home...

    Brizzle Draw

    Gutting to concede at the death & to ship 2 poor goals on the night. That said we played magnificently throughout the game and were simply on another level to them football wise. Probably too many changes & a bit of a lack of physical power were our undoing, a big win wouldn't have been...

    Blades Away - Bump!

    A tough game that I wish we'd had in a few weeks time, despite some (over) optimism & plenty of genuine positivity we came up short. Wasn't there so won't comment on the game, have to say I was surprised by the starting 11. No yennaris & no Barbet, seems unfair & a mistake to me. Throw in our...

    Close Season Stuff

    I see we are hiring new marketing & match programme people. Anyone know if we're growing or replacing staff? I hear a few grumbles around the new stad also, mainly progress & possible changes to design. ST sales seem to be going well & ahead of last season, but no numbers yet. New kit...

    QPR & Fulham

    Morning chaps, if anyone is out there - far too quiet on here after a brilliant win over our friends from the Bush. What a day, our 1st double over them in my lifetime - and what a beautiful goal from the king of Spain. Special times, special scenes and the memories of a lifetime being created...

    The Chinese Way

    Rumours circulating as to the possibility of Chinese / Asian investment in BFC. Article in the Sun (I know) yesterday. Stacks up with things I've noticed at the last few games & what one or two fans have said over a long while now. So does anyone know stuff & what do we think if this has...

    Brizzle & Leeds

    Great day to be a Brentford supporter on Sat, GP looking great, decent crowd, glimpses of LR taking shape, Judgey's new deal - 3 points and as good a 1st half as I've seen in a long time. When sides sit off we are a different proposition to those that can really press (Hudds & Wolves). We...

    Hogan's Run

    So it seems like he's off & I'd imagine that a deal will be done any day now, get it done so we can move on. Staggering to see our club able to reject offers of £10M & we aren't done yet. £15M please! I'm resigned to it & at that price it's good for everyone (not to forget Rochdale). If it...

    Norwich

    Anyone feeling this? Really important game for many reasons - maybe a last look at Hogan before the inevitable. I feel 3 points & cup progress are the minimum ask from our next 3 games, in my gut I can't see the points coming tomorrow, weirdly I feel optimistic about the trip to Brum. Coyb...

    Unhappy Bees Fans

    A quick tour around forums and social media will tell you we aren't a happy bunch right now. Concerns about recruitment, results and coaching troubling some, others feeling marginalised by our club over the new badge, stewarding / fan ejections, and marketing. Out of the blue thing do seem...

    Fulham Next.

    Derby day 2.0 coming up on Friday. The natives of Putney will need to travel the short distance to share their evening with we the great unwashed of Middlesex. By the way our manor resembles the shires when compared to some parts of SB these days, it's like Aleppo in parts! Personally I've...

    Rod Temperton RIP

    Sad news from the USA announcing the death of Rod Temperton at 66. A skinny musician from Cleethorpes Lancs who was randomly born with soul in his veins. Played & wrote for Heatwave & then went on to become one of the most influential writers & producers on the planet, working with greats like...

    Atmosphere @ GP

    If you've listened to this week's besotted podcast they raised the question as to the more subdued atmos at GP so far this season. Several big reasons from my perspective in the braemar side. Firstly the number of bods on phones through the game - mainly checking other scores but a real atmos...

    Bees Stuff On My Mind.

    Lots of random stuff on my mind today, so here goes........ -Next Monday it will be exactly 1 year since the sacking of Marinus, a lot has happened to us and him since. I believe he's still coaching in the Dutch 2nd division with NAC Breda. I think we were right to fix this mistake but still...

    Wednesday @ GP Tomoz.

    Hot day expected in London, Bees at home, good oppo with a decent following, and a chance to finally beat another championship bogey side. At least Wednesday fans don't lord it up over us like other so called "big clubs" in this league, probably because they've been down there with us for many...

    The Hounslow Globetrotters.

    Brentford B, or the Hounslow Globetrotters as they shall now be known are playing some interesting fixtures, to date we've been out to Denmark and to play FCM, and are currently in Spain playing Vs La Liga sides - Villareal yesterday (lost 5-2. We've also played Chelsea and WBA here recently...

    Summer Transfer Window - Here We Go Again..

    So much for doing our business early and having a quieter window - we are under siege again with Judge and now these Hogan rumours. Feels like it's us against the world again. A lot of this madness is totally out of our control, but it's huge 7 days for those trusted with player negotiations...
