You think it's weird to acknowledge there has been a massive regression. I think they are doing what you are not failing to acknowledge context. We are no longer the club who has the luxury of turning out nose up at finishing in the top 4 or employing Brentfords manager. We USED to be. Was it JM Kaynes said "wen the facts change I change my mind sir. What do you do? This isn't odd it happened to Woolwich under Wenger the Pochettino showed up and suddenly years of auto ECL qualification not being good enough came back to bite them. I recall revelling in a period when both north London clubs were linked to a player and the player would go o record with his preference for us. This have changed.

And again...that context is fine.

I'll look forward to these people accepting our regression and taking a level-headed approach to this season.

Match threads should be free of melting.

Player threads should be free of personal abuse and childish name calling.

Let's all unite, accept that this season may be a slow burner and support the club superbly.

You have no idea who can and can't coach tho. You have told yourself you can tell from watching on the TV, that doesn't make it true.

Anyway stop banging on about Ange in the Frank thread. All I will say about Frank is that he has the exact same type of cult following at Brentford as Ange was building at Spurs. Hopefully, he will be able to build one at Spurs because he won't win shit without it.

as per the Klopp quotes, everyone has tactics and analysis, the difference between winning or not is emotion and belief and those with the ability to get people to follow them are the most common winners in sport. Phil Jackson in the NBA being another great example, pure cult leader.

You are a complete fucking idiot and a total waste of time.

Don't know what's happened to you - oh yeah, ANGE - but you never used to be this dense.

Lol I haven't got a problem with people wanting Ange out. I completely understand why he went.

My issue is that it's the 'top 4 isn't a trophy' and 'when did we stop caring about winning cups?' lot of the last many years who are now the ones saying they'll be happy for Thomas to get us back into the top 4 race.

It's weird.

The same people attacking other managers for only caring about the top 4 and throwing cups, are now the ones saying it'll be ok with them if that's what Frank brings.

Plus...we all know that once the reign of Frank gets going, it'll be those same people calling him 'big ears' and calling the players shit.

It's bizarro world but I'm quite enjoying it.

Its what will happen, the same people will undermine the new manager if it goes pear shaped.
Not so sure I am enjoying it when the former manager is still referred to as a fat cunt by the keyboard warriors club!

Wait - is that accurate and/or did he get another one?

2 year deal + option for a third suggests that we could have not taken up the option and let him leave?

I genuinely hope people can do that.....but my suspicion is it will not be the Ange out folks who will do the melting. I suspect it will be the folks still clinging to Big daddy, unable to move on that will rush like lightening to proclaim how things would have been so much better in 'big daddy's trophy winning arms.'
 
Gotta get behind Frank and give him some time, hopefully the atmosphere at the stadium is better next season! Would be amazing if he can nick us the super cup, that’ll set us up for the season.

Is it the worst or pretty ideal? The world will be expecting a battering.. If we lose but compete, we'd be disappointed but we'd be pretty level headed about it.. And if we get the win, you couldn't dream for a better start.


Note... I am not calling it a free hit.
