in the 80s apart from the football I was into me motorbikes as were a fair few of me mates. I never really shared their enthusiasm for metal music but I'd end up in the haymarket bars with them a lot of the time anyway. always had a soft spot for the farmers and the percy despite them not really playing my type of music. the farmers is obviously no more and after a 30 year absence I was actually really pleased last october to find the percy is still the glorious, glorious shithole it was back then too. love those kind of bars me!

@Howmanheyman @PaddockLad the percy.... quite comfortably the best bar in town sice thay pulled the doll down. hang your heads in shame.

good summary. should've mentioned it in mine..... asm was unplayable, they shit themselves every time he got the ball.best game I've seen him play. bit of confusion near the end with the tannoy over the substitution and it appeared he was being taken off and refusing to do so! wished he'd scored.

what the fuck do you say about that? would've snatched anybodies hand off for a 0-0 draw, feared the worst when they scored after 5 minutes, then we were fucking tremendous for the rest of the first half and dominant, 3 or 4 wouldn't have been unfair. tripppier's free kick, magnificent, atmosphere equally so and hat doffed to them superb football for their 2 goals. was a privilege to be there. slight downer on an otherwise fantastic day out and on the off chance there's any mancs looking in.... for the dirty, repulsive pieces of human scum who were lobbing bottles of piss down in to level 4 of the leazes when they equalised, and its very much a manchester thing, because their mates did exactly the same thing last december..... I hope you fall asleep at the wheel on the way home and have a fatal with a motorway bridge, you fucking disgusting, vermin cunts.

I reckon mitrovic only has a chance of getting to 12 if he takes the fridge off his back! seriously though, I only remembered your post as wood was having a mare in front of goal for burnley (and subsequently for us) whereas mitrovic was well on his way to breaking records in the championship. agree about toney, maybe we'd be better served chipping in a tenner each towards our seemingly destitute PIF owners when it comes to buying a striker at the moment?

I'll have a tenner with you for the sbr foundation that he scores double this season than wood does?

and mitrovic topping the goalscoring charts. reminded me of this in the 'deep shit' thread which you can no longer reply to and in which wood and the serb were being compared. apologies @Ayatollah Hermione

looks a canny prospect. I reckon we should offer £35m for him and if that fails up to £40m with a few add ons.

or sunday even.

oh aye! needless to say, I didn't have a bet on it. there might be omen there!

36/5 for a home win on sunday with 888sport, tempted to have a £5 on it, but me doing so almost guarantees we'll get beat! bizarre really that football can throw up a freak result occasionally, but with us we're always the victims of a minor.miracle rather than.the benefactors! when was the last time we won a match that defied all odds?

think I like the put down of the twitter loons more than the player.

think that nail was hammered well truly home about a fortnight ago when we upped our bid to just above knee level of his weaker leg.

when did pointing out the need for attacking upgrades or the hope to see them come in constitute being a fickle idiot rather than stating the bleeding obvious?

the cunts need to start investing in some footballers who can kick a ball towards the oppositions goal.

if we were to keep you to nil I'd be absolutely fucking delighted. can't see it mind but you never know., I still doubt it'd be enough for a win though as we struggled to break down forest and weren't even at the races against brighton. the quality of the opposition is on an upward trend at the moment and I'd be gobsmacked if we score on sunday! even if we were to sign some much needed offensive players in the next couple of days howe wouldn't play them. you and blue moon have fuck all to worry about.

the fat lad guiding wba on their relentless march to the relegation spots.

probably more than brentford supporters themselves!

just a personal opinion.... first visit for me to the amex yesterday enjoyed me beers in the lansdown arms in lewes but was weird having to cut it short at 2pm to catch a train to the ground. makes you appreciate even more our own grounds location. the ground is visually quite impressive from the outside, shame about the £10 burgers. once inside I thought the away end was shite, far too flat, was stood half way down the stand but even moving to the back it was too low a viewpoint for me personally. I like to look down on a game more. fucking chaotic afterwards at the station but train delays didn't help so maybe its not always that bad? nice and sunny though!

foolishly stepping up to the plate here for what is likely to be a losing match thread starter for whoever sets the ball rolling! it's hard to be anything other than delighted with 4 points and 4th in table after our 2 games but despite this yesterday's almost total lack of any meaningful supply to wilson is a concern. can see an apprehensive atmosphere next weekend which could quickly go flat if man city start handing out their usual mauling. desperately hoping we make a breakthrough in the transfer window in the next few days, otherwise I think I'd be happy for us just to keep the scoreline to under 3

I would aye. but... I also think not getting the two in would represent a disappointing window overall.

I think it did after the forest game too in fairness.

standing waiting for a train on a packed platform at falmer yesterday and everyone was aware brentford were already 2-0 up. a brighton supporter commented that it was quite sad to see man utds unravelling a little too loudly. he was promptly put in his place by both geordies and his own. poor bloke had no choice but to meekly concede it perhaps wasn't after all. by the time we got off at lewes station it was 4, fucking hilarious!

I think it's probably irrelevant who starts it next week!
