My thoughts exactly . I can remember the nerves I felt during half time in 2014 and then look what happened . Hopefully Brentford won't suffer the same fate .

Swansea make an Emergency signing of 1 Alex Revell for the 2nd half ?

Swansea down to 10 now.

Brentford look like they have finally got there wish

Well done to them .

To think they used to be one of, if not our closest rival. Oh well, Craig Clay has another 2 year contract so it can only be a matter of time before we catch them up.

Glad they showed the Bottle to follow it through this Season .

Well done to them - finished off the work that Dean Smith started, and they will have many fans like ours who have waited a lifetime for a promotion to the top tier.

I remember when we beat them 2-0 at Griffin Park in our playoff year and thinking how brilliant it was to be able to do that to teams like Brentford. "Battman" scored (I'd forgotten about him).

Why do you constantly dig out Clay?
There's plenty worse than him. He's been one of the better signings we've made.
Works his bollocks off every game. His only fault is perhaps he should score a few more goals, but I'm delighted we've signed him again.

Well done Brentford.

His only fault? Really? I'll have some of what you're drinking.

He’s a hard worker, no doubt, but that doesn’t mask his mediocre touch and passing, nor his poor creativity or shooting.

Ambition to be much more than a lower league side and the pragmatism to bin their academy in favour of moneyball-esque recruitment. Well done to them.

Yep got rid of the Academy. Total waste of money.
Mind you the owner pump in 200 million.

Hopefully KJ can help him improve that side of his game.
