Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

Though Forest may be even worse.

Think folk are being a bit harsh on Brentford. They've done terrifically well with far less financial clout than most/all the clubs around them. If we over-achieved on the scale they have, we'd be champions of Europe (again). It didn't work out for them this time around, but i'd not be surprised if they get promoted fairly soon.

Agree. Even with all the money we chucked at it, the Championship is a bugger to get out it.
I think they were desperately unlucky, bottling the automatic, probably did for them.

If a player goes 17-0 up in this weekend's snooker final then loses 18-17, presumably they can't be bottlers because they did well to get to 17?

In your world if it finishes 18-4 he'd be bottler as he didn't win every frame

[cdbearsfan]

Well, no.

Nah they're getting what they deserve for falling apart completely, bully says so because they didn't win 10 consecutive games. Fucking bottlers.

Come on now. They had to get ONE POINT. Against Stoke. Or Barnsley! At home! Massive Barnsley that teeny Brentford had done so amazingly to be allowed to compete against.

Come on mate, you've had your fun.

They bottled it, ergo they're bottlers.

[WilliamStanding]

If bully boy says so it stands.

Bottlers.

Finally some sense from the world's shittest flouncer.

Incorrect.

A point v Barnsley wouldn’t have sufficed bully.

Anyway, I'm underwhelmed by links to Brentford players, in case you hadn't guessed.

I was hoping this transfer window would be about signing next level players, not the same sort of players we were linked with for the last two windows.

We won 9 of 11 to finish '98, beating the sides that finished 1st, 3rd and 4th. The 2 defeats were at home to Barnsley and Bolton, both relegated. It's just incredibly hard to sustain that form over that many games, even against poorer sides.

OK two points against shite teams then. Though I reckon one point might have been enough  as Albion were doing their best to engineer a bottle job of their own. If Brentford had put them under pressure I think they'd have folded in that QPR game. We won't find out though due to Brentford bottling it themselves.

That still winds me up.
