While people are wondering about whether it is worth paying Kevin Long's wages to support a whole squad, the real question should be, is Gawthorpe really big enough to bring the women's team into - remember at the time of construction the club were prevented from constructing all the pitches that i...

Of course I’m gonna make a direct comparison between Burnley and Brentford when a couple of clowns come along and try and tell me how we should be doing what they do. They have in no way whatsoever done better than us in the transfer market over the past 7 years. How many players have they actually...

Burnley can achieve promotion to and stay in the Premier League. Please tell me what Brentford have done over the past 7 years? Apart from making a few quid (We’ve made more btw) and play pretty football? You keep on making this a direct comparison to Burnley for some reason. As for what Brentford ...

StTedsOB

I agree Westwood should have played but for Stephens not Benson. At least Benson has the energy to make runs and get up and down the pitch. Stephens lack of pace and sharpness has been eye opening to put it mildly. That said we don’t know the full picture with injuries and how near Cork and Brownhil...

It’s nothing more than corporate box ticking and I’d expect us to follow those lines as a prem club . Yes women’s football is something of a nonsensical spectacle which wouldn’t even cover its petrol money if a standalone entity . That said there’s nothing wrong with it and long as it doesn’t cost ...

United played a £40m signing instead of Fernandes. It’s a massive difference changing your starting eleven when you have established internationals ready to come in rather than players who are not even proven at championship level. Whether you agree with what Dyche did or not it’s simply a fact that...

What are you babbling on about? Please highlight where I said girls or women shouldn't have the chance to play footy professionally. I'm a sports agent and looking at getting into women's footy. Do you think women who become pregnant as a football player then just carry on playing like normal? That...

Disappointing to be still seeing posts like this in 2021.
Whether you follow or like women’s football or not I’m not sure how you can argue that this isn’t anything but a positive move by the club.

StTedsOB

That is obviously true. But it's the same for the PL. The real difference is that through the gate revenues are becoming almost irrelevant to the richest clubs. Not so sure about that. The top clubs have increased their capacities or moved to new much bigger stadiums. Almost 30% of Arsenal and Spur...

I don't think the salary cap has ever come in has it?
They are supposed to keep to 80% of turnover or similar but I think it's easily manipulated.

Came in last August.
It’s the numbers I quoted above with an agreed transition period.

StTedsOB

Weren't we quoted £13m for Toney Brentford paid £5m upfront with a large sell on clause, Peterborough point blank refused a similar deal to us, partly because they new we would have to work on his development, he would not be an automatic starter like he has been in the championship and therefore l...

How do Accy Stanley manage it on the other end of the scale? Play good attacking football on crowds of 2k and wage bill of £1m (3rd tier) when the likes of Hull, Ipswich Pompey and Sunderland have 20x their budget? Accy Stanley and all of Coleman’s teams are attacking but as you would expect with t...

Brentford go top with 3-1 win away at Reading.
Toney scored one and made the other two.

Toney would have been a nice and very cheap signing for us - hypothetically of course !

StTedsOB

It’s got nothing to do with last night I agree.
That was simply down to us not having good enough players on the pitch to beat Bournemouth.
Nothing more complicated than that.

StTedsOB

You do realise the last time we were in that league and actually the last time we played Brentford we won. Not only that we played them off the park in probably the best 45 minutes I’ve ever seen a Burnley team put in up until that point. Which perfectly takes me onto my next point. You used the Ma...

And quite simply what is more entertaining of the 2? Love being in the Premier League - great for the town, our supporters and the whole community. And we have had a number of standout performances in this league which have been every enjoyable / entertaining. But the odd season of winning the cham...

So what you’re saying is, Brentford have had a business put in place for the past 6 seasons for Sean Dyche even though he isn’t there? Plus I’d rather have the Burnley model of buying Dale Stephens for £1m and putting him on the bench in the Premier League. Than buying Benrahama for £1.5m finishing...

StTedsOB

Since we started our first Premier League season (2014/15) under Sean Dyche, Brentford have finished 5th, 9th, 10th, 9th, 11th and 3rd in the Championship. They’ve made profits on players granted. They’ve built a new stadium granted. But at no point have they come close to promotion apart from last...

StTedsOB

It a completely different level of football, investment and developing whilst in the Premier League to what Brentford do. Look at Maupay and what he’s done in the Premier League and forget what he did at Brentford. No way does he go for £20m. None of those players have proved they can do it in the ...

Ravel Morrison is one of the funniest things I have seen on here for a long time.
And the justification is he lives in the north west.
Shall we make it a triple coup and get Sean Ryder and Bez in too ?...assuming both still live in the north west !

“Would you trust Dyche with the money ?” Why do you ask ? Is there a manager / team in this league with a lower net spend that Burnley and Dyche over a sustained period of 5 or 6 years. Sheffield United have spent £120m on transfers in the last 18 months - how’s it going for them ? Brighton - who se...

StTedsOB

They went down because of their defence - not one of their defenders or their keeper would get in our team. Begovic looked poor yesterday and he wouldn’t get on our bench and is nowhere near Pope. As for the rest of their team - yes Billing had a good game but he was there all last season and for la...

Right now both Snodgrass and Stephens look like poor signings. Given Snodgrass was on £75k a week at West Ham and seems to have been “happy” to sit on the bench for the last few years I would be amazed if he signed for West Brom for less money. Stephens was signed for us at a time when Cork was badl...

Tarks is a better defender, but Mings is considerably better on the ball. Depends what you are looking for and how that fits in to your team. I would argue all the top/best teams want ball players rather than defenders. You can see why DJ has said Mings is better, as he is likely to play at a highe...

Shocking from SD
Not sure why he thinks that side was good enough to beat a team who has just spent the last few years in the Premier League
Half of the side he picked tonight would struggle to get a game every week in the Championship.
Embarrassing to watch that

StTedsOB

Mings is a communicator, he’s an intelligent footballer. He is better than Mee and Tarks, although Tarks has the potential to be at the same level, given the right platform. Bamford = Vydra Mings - half a good season in Premier League. Not great for a player who is nearly 28 years old who has been ...

StTedsOB

Vydra is a quality footballer, but his impact is in some way down to the fact that teams prepare for Burnley and how we play football. Vydra isn’t typical of our ‘style of play’ and so impacts the game accordingly. Opposition players will consciously or sub consciously prepare for the task at hand....

Fee is worth it alone for Line of Duty and Peaky Blinders. Add to that loads of great comedy, drama, news, sport and it’s great value. And looking at how the rest of the world buy our dramas and the tens of millions who watch it I’d say plenty of others agree. Each to his own obviously and if you do...

Didn’t Diogo Jota cost £40m + ? He was on fire before he was injured a every bit a potential replacement for any of the front 3. Yep - think the transfer was quoted between £40m and £45m and his form before the injury was fantastic. Firmino’s form has been patchy and as important player as he has b...

What on earth are you talking about? digging at the fans again.... It's not too difficult to understand is it? the club has been purchased using it's own assets and future income, a leveraged buyout, uncommon in football, like Mr Jordan said, they've got a £200M club for less than £35M (probably ne...

Draw best result for us I think. Next best a Leeds win....Palace are without Zaha for a few weeks by the look of it and we want them low on confidence for the weekend and dragged into the relegation picture.

This is why football pundits are stupid. They come along and tell us 6 teams can we the league. Then pick up the ones that are struggling for form. “Tottenham are a one man Harry Kane team”. “Liverpool haven’t improved their starting 11 for 3 years”. Well why didn’t you say that when you said they ...
