Some good points made re: Brentford.

They've done and are doing well, but as ever, the situation is complex rather than they're simply all-round fantastic.

I have no beef with them whatsoever, so don't mind them doing well, but I'd be surprised if they go the distance.

I reckon around 8-10th and from my view, that's still a good season for them,

The furthest they have ever been in the FA Cup is still that 5th round defeat v Hull City at Boothferry Park.

Can't be easy having CFC, FFC and DQPR in the area, they do very well to thrive in that context.

Preferable to all the afore-mentioned as a club also.

I think having those clubs around them is a bonus when recruiting young players. Also being a London club will do them no harm. Young players would sign for them in the hope of being spotted by the other London clubs, same goes for anyone showing a bit of promise in the non league game, in which Brentford seem to thrive.

2-0 if I recall. Don't think we played 'em too many times before that cup match. We were in 3rd Div N. and they were in 3rd Div S. for much of the 40's, 50's & 60's, so rare cup games only.
I remember Wally Bragg, centre half in the 50's, who somehow was on one of the cig cards - I think it was Players or Capstan Full Strength editions ? Paul Feasey was in the same selection if my (failing) memory serves me correctly. ?
I've played on the same team with an ex-Brentford player over here, so I always watch for their results.

Edit: See , my memory's ****. Thanks for the clip P W-U <doh>
Confused it with City beating Southport 2 nowt in the 5th in '66 !
