Brentford vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Sexual Ealing]

For the final time, I don't look like Adrian Chiles. I look (and play football) like a bald George Best, hours before his death.

State of this delicate flower:

They were doing that to get a reaction from Maupay and make him lash out at someone I reckon. I've never seen anything like that in 50 years worth of games, it was utterly reprehensible and disrespectful behaviour. It went well beyond sh£thousery and yet the referee did nothing. Its a long time since I've been so angry after a game.

It was fucking hilarious watching that angry little gnome chase after the ball as piggy in the middle.

I don’t have an opinion on Brentford, for the same reason I don’t have an opinion about teams in the French third division - they’re not relevant enough to me to warrant one.

Yeah, what Emi did was obviously completely unprecedented and way worse than, to take a completely random example, a certain N Maupay esq stamping on John McGinn at Villa Park a few years back.

Brentford are sufficiently freshly promoted to the top flight, they are still showing the lingering mindset you get when a meaningless, piss-pot little club gets promoted.

That newfound arrogance, that belief they're as big as clubs which have been bigger than they are and for much, much longer, that vision of themselves as a brilliantly run club which can do no wrong (only to turn into the new Swansea).

I know I am repeating myself with this, but I fucking hate 'never been here before' recently promoted clubs.

I'd gladly put them all in a massive cannon and fire them at the sun.

100% this, see also plucky cup underdogs, and how great it is to see all these part time arseholes turnout for once in a blue moon and how great it would be for them to see an upset, despite the fact if they turned up every week their shit club might not find themselves as underdogs.

I actually like seeing new blood in the league, which means it burns twice as bad when they inevitably turn around to reveal themselves as wankers.

Yes, but do you look like James Forsyth?

the sooner clubs like Bournemouth and Brentford are relegated the better

Had to google him and how dare you, you were saying Bertie Wooster as well but then you saddle me with this guy who's clearly Gussie Fink-Nottle.

Half their fanbases are plastic scouse/mancs anyway jumping on the Premier League bandwagon. Brentford hadn't had an average attendance of over 5 figures since the early 70's until 2015, and the only reason I knew of their existence until then was because of 'epic' showdowns they'd have with the rags in the semis of the Leyland DAF, when my best mate would try and compare his experiences of such events with me going to the San Siro in the Uefa Cup.

He's a Stilton Cheesewright and you know it.

A young Sir Bert Millichip would be fairer.

I'm willing to offer you an Oofy Prosser but not a penny more.

Every club has more fans the better they do. That's the reason we've gone from crowds of around 30k, a tier closed off and 11k in the League Cup at home to Boro to full houses, 30k on a waiting list and 5k to Boro in the FA Cup.
