    Enough enough I've had enough,

    Would you play Kiko in any of the last three games?

    Brentford can't go on like this.

    Their last 5 results might have been WWWWW, however the preceding 5 was DDDLD.

    Still think they'll win the remaining 5? I seriously doubt it.

    Can't remember anyone winning 10 in a row in this division (or am I deluding myself?).

    I was there wit the west of Ireland gang for two nights. Unforgettable in so many ways. Dodgy bars, nightclubs and most unusual goal I’ve ever seen. Loved it

    Usually free kicks are around the 25yd mark, and I think it’s and element of surprise when the ball comes over or around the wall, thus the keeper sees the ball approx 15yd out but coming at full speed. Hence I would like to see the odd time us not set a wall and say go on then have a pop and let the keeper have full view of it, maybe have one on each of the posts? I think it would be interesting to see how many score.

    Still pissed off with that to this day!! That fkr Dean Smith, John Terry in Bielsa’s face, Houlahan having a go at Klich, that leg shaving, pillow biting twat Grealish demanding we let them score, I just wonder if Pontus had bit his lip and stood back would he still be with us??

    I don’t know mate is the honest answer. I don’t think Messlier is a bad keeper but he is a very long way short of what we need in the PL but he’s still young. When we win there isn’t much focus on him, the other 10 players usually defend so well he doesn’t see much action. I know I’m in the minority but I think he has often looked shaky since the restart. Can I ask you, do you remember him making a top drawer save this season?

    he’s looked a bit flappy - only goal with a ? Is the hoylett one though for me.

    the free kick thing yesterday - it’s just what keepers do risty. They take one side, the other is the walls job, he may have been a touch too far over yesterday but he has to try and see the ball. They don’t want to get beaten on their side. If you watch the Douglas free kick in the second half, similar position, their keeper did the same. Douglas went for double bluff but the keeper didn’t fall for it.

    Brentford have not conceded a goal for 5 games.

    I said it before and I'l say it again, we should not have sold Jansson, especially for the fee we got for him.

    Brentford have a good all round team. Watkins and pontus are driving them on. If west brom slip up today then i think brentford will get 2nd spot
