For all the negativity on this board at the moment, I think we are very unlucky not to be on 11 points this evening. Apart from Coventry, we have generally played very well. If we can generate real momentum over the next few games we could have a great season.
I've not been happy with the results this season, or our rolling form but we were exceptional today.

It's also important to note that we've played five league matches, four of which are like for like. In terms of those performances we are:

Level on points, 6 last year and 6 this year.

Ahead on goals scored by 1. Ahead on goals conceded by -6. I guess that is also a good way to measure progress too. Roll on United.

"milesy" is a truly awful interviewer

Can Barely string a coherent sentence together

No wonder Ange hates him

Watch Maddison's body langauge after he grabs his shirt. Obviously Milesy loves his Spurs but he's just a bit thirsty to be everyone's mate. Not really a big deal like it was made out but also wouldn't be surprised if he's the type to leak stuff to media mates as well. That's a baseless accusation and I never met the man but whatever, it's a chat forum and I'm chatting shit.

Good Itw from Maddison, said some things I'd hope some remember in the future.

I don't mean to put a downer on today's game, or Maddison. But, generally, I don't like and can't understand why players take their shirts off during a game. They're fully aware that it means that they will get a yellow card for doing it.
In the case of Maddison, that's his 2nd yellow in 5 PL games, another 3 yellows and he'll miss a game. Hopefully it's not a big game.

He had a look on his face of instant regret after he took it off.

Just got a bit too carried away

Ermmm - we were very flat and uninspired against the scum. Anyone who thinks we played 'very well' against them needs to go to Specsavers.
 
Just did a re-Watch. Solanke was actually great in this game and his football IQ and pressing has me impressed. I wasn’t sure about him but had an open mind coming into the season, but he was constantly in the right spot for a striker. Had a couple somewhat unlucky deflections or he might have bagged another.

He was also in perfect position for a cross on Brennan’s goal (amazing strike, but a perfect cross would have been a goal as well with Solanke’s positioning).

I’m cautiously optimistic that he’s going to be worth the money.
 
Thomas Frank on the Vicario hand ball

"Not only looked, he had handled it outside the box, but that incident did not define the game," said Brentford manager Thomas Frank.

"It was a mistake. It could have been a free-kick to us. It could have helped us. But, hey, you never know.

Fair enough, no issues with that. respect to him, good bloke, good coach.
Agree.

It happened at 'my' end. A clearer handball you will never see. But hey - that fucking referee had given so many shit decisions in Brentford's favour, it redressed the balance slightly.

What has been so nice this season is the almost total absence of VAR.
