So, if an opposing player "deliberately" strikes the ball to hit a defenders hand, elbow or arm should it be a penalty? The solution may be to have all outfield players running around in straightjackets - oh wait - a whole new skill game on the horizon to add to VAR :lol: There is a theme though - ...

anytime a ball hits an arm in whatever circumstance in a UEFA competition it's a penalty.

Can anyone explain to me why Saints aren't top of the league in the Championship? I keep seeing the same points being strung out time and time again to make excuses for crap results. Mainly: We've bought a load of young players and they will come good in time and we will walk the championship. Sain...

He didn't massively improve Barnes. Barnes was just playing at a lower level for the first time in years, so naturally found it easier, just like the likes of Roberts and Brownhill did. He was actually a better player in his first few seasons in the PL under Dyche. I disagree 100%. I also didn't se...

If you are referring to Maatsen, the figure wasn’t within a million miles of 30 million. For it to reach that I think he’d have needed to win over 100 full international caps and win Premier League titles with us. I heard that the Trafford fee was massively incentivized too, can you confirm that to...

Vegas Claret

look how much Kompany improved Barnes, that was universally recognized by everyone. He will massively improve these young players, it's just going to take time. If you go back 10 years or so and say 8 of those would be in the PL but there will be tough times with a few relegations every last one of ...

I wouldn't describe them as gems I'd describe the aforementioned as potentially promising individuals to varying degrees they haven't really done anything yet maybe never will, we wouldn't be sat at the foot of the table if they were gems.

€45 for kudus. £30m for JWP. Somehow we’re expected to beat these teams convincingly despite dodgy var decisions. I thought we were the better side for long periods and it provokes this hyperbole despite the obvious gulfs in quality and experience of the two teams. This seasons a write off for me b...

Do you not think that our improved performances have been to due the fact (apart from Arsenal)that we have been playing some of the lesser teams ,and don’t forget that the 5 top teams we struggled against on the Turf are waiting just around the corner and we’ve still Liverpool to play twice and Ars...

Whether you're relegated on goal difference or relegated with 4pts, you're still relegated.

that the same West Ham who replaced their two missing players with 15 million Danny Ings and 40 million Kudus ? That West Ham ?

I fully agree with you there 😂 I just want to know how many points/ point range those that are happy with the project think would be an acceptable season to build on. That’s all I genuinely hand on heart can't give you a number because I have no expectation, it's going to be what it's going to be. ...

Vegas Claret

Other teams having key players missing have gone about it the right way because on a results basis it hadn't affected (not against us anyway). It's not stopped the teams we have faced from having positive results against us the only thing that as been stopped is us having any affect on their result...

And again that’s not an answer to my question that has more nuance than that. I'll paste it again "I mentioned it in July that the transfer window was replicating what Southampton tried and failed with - it was pure insanity. However, I get why the club are doing it. Next week we play Sheff Utd who...

Vegas Claret

Still not a straight answer there. I never said it’s a complete disaster but you have to appreciate there’s a significant difference between going down and giving it a good fight - getting around 30 points or so VS going down on a compete whimper. That arg falls down when we have significant fees t...

That falls on somebody wasting money on positions not needed/utilized instead of ensuring adequate replacements. What you are saying is correct to a degree but others have gone about it the right way & some haven't.

who have gone about it the right way ?

Vegas Claret

That’s great and all Vegas but ultimately it is a results business. Attempts to conflate with where we’ve been in the 80s aren’t relevant right now - we’re in the PL, have a decent playing budget, what is a finish where we can say - ‘yep, something to build on?’ I’m not saying we should be knocking...

Your calling people fools whilst calling a team that's lost 11 out of 13 matches amazing

or he's supporting a team that has lost 14 in the last 59 under the current manager who has a 50% win ratio - you should try it

Vegas Claret

I think there’s certain marks you’d expect a manager to hit Vegas. I’m not suggesting that going down would warrant a sacking - nor to sack him now. I’d just like to know what those that are still so pro VK/pro ‘the project’ would deem acceptable and could say it’s progress and a stepping stone. Mu...

I know you’re a big fan of VK and now want to play the patience game and now be the voice of reason on here… My question is. What do you think is an acceptable showing this season? Points and position it's sport, there is no 'acceptable'. If it was just about money spent Man United would have won t...

Dyche was here for 9 years, I was bored of the football and the results and performances in that final season were abysmal. Kompany is 13 games since promotion. You were also slagging off Dyche throughout his time here, now you’re doing the same with Kompany. Nothing will make you happy seemingly i...

You do know Brentford don't have VK as manager or a board which follows a business model which wants to play young players to develop and sell on for big profits.... I'm struggling to understand they'll be people out there that genuinely think if we had a 34 year old Ben Mee here, he'd be starting ...

So your defence of VK is that Marsch can build a competent team? The squad were worth roughly the same amount. We also had players with prem experience VK just chooses not to play them. Marsch ppg would keep this squad up at a canter. VK will be lucky to get 12 points this season currently. we'll a...

Vegas even you don’t believe that nonsense.

Marsch is a considerably better manager than VK. Let’s not forget VK currently has one of the worst ever premier league records.

with a much better side full of experienced players he won 11 in 37 games, 2 in his last 17

So yeah, Marsch is a fallacy

No he wouldn't

And even if we're plsying the hypothetical game, he'd give away more goal scoring chances than Al Dak with the way he'd be asked to play.

you do know Brentford play really good football ?

Two smaller teams above us, two smaller teams given it a better go, two smaller teams more likely to stay up.

as with everything in life, there is always a point. If you can't see it try looking just a little harder. I'll repeat what I've said on another thread, our little town team is currently the 20th best in the entire country, nothing pointless about this season at all.

I'm usually one of the first to have a go at the crowd for being quiet but I thought it sounded more than decent for the most part, a bit quiet at times the lads needed a push but that's how it is at the moment. Not the crowds fault in any way shape or form today imho.

Positives: Today was the first time this season there was noticeable improvement and replication of some of the patterns of play we saw last season Berge, Koleosho and JBG were all good Negatives: We won't have an easier game all season, WHU had their strikers missing and we still allowed them to sc...

No, you're not wrong. He's getting a lot badly wrong too. I just don't think you realise how much he's getting wrong. How do you work that out ? It's very clear what he's getting run and 90% of it revolves around his poor substitutions. On another note, today was the first time we saw patterns of p...

I think the VAR lines were in the wrong place for Arsenal's offside "goal." Three Arsenal players all closer to goal line that any of Brentford defenders. Jesus, first Arsenal player, heads towards goal. Keeper saves and Trossard heads home. VAR compares position of Trossards feet to Jesus feet and...
