• Brentford vs Fulham (the richest game in football)

Ex-b@stard keeper.

What a plonker of a keeper
Only cost them £160 million

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:58 pm**

Perhaps Brentford will attempt to score now.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:58 pm**

That’s harsh!

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:58 pm**

Truly awful goal keeping in such a big game.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:59 pm**

The Bottlers, bottle it again

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 9:59 pm**

in keeping with the game, awful

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:00 pm**

Wow what a stat that is
23 out of 29 play off for this division the team scoring first goes up

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:01 pm**

Fulham will get a second on the break

This is that poor, they should both have to stay in the championship, and we run next season with 19 teams with only 2 relegated.

Ah, you’ve forgotten our play-off win from 2009 then?

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:04 pm**

Brentford absolutely rubbish tonight. Not suprised.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:04 pm**

He deserves a good hiding that keeper. Id be furious

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:05 pm**

Weren't some on here suggesting we should sign Raya as Pope's replacement, i think that argument's been put to bed after that howler.

How many chances of promotion do Brentford need, the cocked it up in the regular season, and now they're blowing it in the playoffs.

Bunch of bottlers.

Great finish. I’m pleased for Scott Parker. Good to see a young English manager in the Premier League.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:14 pm**

Oh well.
Preferred Brentford.

Nope, it was far more action packed than this.

We should have had 3 on the day, these 2 didnt manage 3 meaningful shots never mind goal scoring chances.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:21 pm**

Would have preferred Brentford to win.
Can't see Fulham being as bad as last time.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:21 pm**

Fulham is kind of a zero rating for us - win at home, lose away.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:24 pm**

Pleased to see Fulham back up. I like their style and I like Scott Parker as their manager.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:29 pm**

Was looking forward to seeing what the fuss was about with Brentford. Very disappointed in them.
Fulham are such a non event but deserved their win tonight. Bryan’s free kick was very Robbie Blake like.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:33 pm**

Will the real Benrahma please stand up? Lots of ability but no backbone.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:38 pm**

Okay let’s raid Brentford now !

Well at least the last 15 minutes was exciting, well done to Fulham and especially Scott Parker, always admired him as a player, and now he's showing he's capable of stepping up to the managerial lark.

And crucially for them they've bounced back immediately, which isn't easy to achieve, how they'll fare next season is tough to say, but they should be better prepared after their bruising experience a last season, and you'd imagine Parker will have them well-drilled, and possibly harder to beat, that always gives you a chance, and Mitrovic has shown he can bag at PL level.

For Brentford so close and yet so far, you have to fear that their talented young squad will be raided in this window, and they could well face another rebuilding process.

Staggering fact about their play off record from the Beeb.

Brentford fans, I really feel sorry for you this evening, that is the ninth attempt at the play-offs including four finals and they have lost them all, they'll know it's slipped through their hands.

That's an amazing failure rate in the playoffs you'd think purely by the law of averages they'd win 1 or 2 at least, but to come up fruitless out of 9 attempts, including 4 finals suggests a mentality problem in getting over the line.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:44 pm**

With the exception of Leeds, it has looked a very underwhelming Championship this season. Tonights game make Norwich look good

How can it be a mentality problem when it hasn't been the same players or backroom staff for their nine attempts?

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 10:52 pm**

The one thing I'm pleased about is that Fulham will be down the bottom end (below us) and I won't care a jot, whereas I might have had a bit of sympathy for Brentford

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 11:01 pm**

Over the last few weeks of the season Brentford had 3 opportunities where victory would have taken them up into the PL but, sadly for them and their supporters, they failed to grasp the nettle losing to Stoke, Barnsley and tonight Fulham in the Play Off Final.

IDK maybe it's in the psyche of the club, yes it's true that it's not the same players or even management, but that record is shocking by anyone's standards, and even in the last 2 games of the league campaign promotion was in their own hands and they couldn't grasp the opportunity on offer.

Compare that to Fulham who've been in the playoffs twice in 3 seasons, and twice they've came through, and handled the pressure.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 11:17 pm**

I slightly favoured Brentford simply because it would be a completely different team in the PL but no issues either way and always kind of liked Fulham but the first goal was shocking and feel sorry for the poor guy, what a terrible few days/weeks he's going to have, he wont be enjoying his holidays at all!!

Interesting to see just how much Fulham will spend now in this window or if they have learnt a lesson from last time.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 11:20 pm**

Anyone else think Scott Parker looks like a matinee film idol from the 1950’s?

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 11:31 pm**

For the brief time he was on the pitch Mitrovic was very lucky not to see a red card. I thought he might have learned a lesson after his 3 match ban for ' assaulting' an opponent v Leeds just after the restart after lockdown but obviously not.

He reminds me of the Russell Crowe character in L.A. Confidential

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 11:33 pm**

Wasn’t impressed with Benrahma.

The comedy dive after the ball had hit the back of the net was hilarious though.

Posted: **Tue Aug 04, 2020 11:52 pm**

Brentford vs Preston play offs next season.

Battle of the bottlers

Posted: **Wed Aug 05, 2020 12:11 am**

Another 6 points now assured for the Clarets next season....

Posted: **Wed Aug 05, 2020 7:40 am**

I think Fulham with Parker in charge from the start will make a better fist of things this time in the Premier.

Posted: **Wed Aug 05, 2020 7:52 am**

Lasted about an hour before turning off absolute gash from both sides, it does though explain how a side as poor as West Brom managed to go up automatically

I sort of agree, a little like England and penalties or in major tournaments.

Posted: **Wed Aug 05, 2020 10:14 am**

Fortunate for us that England didn't worry about previous penalty shoot out failures with different players and coaching staff when they knocked out Colombia at the last World Cup.

Burnley didn't seem affected by all those defeats at Old Trafford in the sixties when we won 2-0 this season. It's such a lazy, nonsensical way of thinking.

"We haven't won there since 1962 and it's really affecting our game!"

Posted: **Wed Aug 05, 2020 11:21 am**

Brentford never turned up but what a boring game.

Good job we haven't got their recruitment team

Posted: **Wed Aug 05, 2020 12:48 pm**

I watched the game through out and it was poor.

Fulham play a lot of possession football and will come unstuck with this style in the Premier league

Brentford should have played a high tempo game and got in their faces instead of playing deep and letting Fulham tap it around, they deserved to get beat
