The Brentford FC Fans Club!

Were up for it today and were brilliant from the start. What a difference a year makes
 
Well deserved. Brentford have a nice style of play. It will be very tough for them in the PL but if they continue playing this type of football, they could do a Leeds.
 
As a Bees fan delighted. Our dream finally realised. Dont care if we go down next season we've come so far from being a small struggling league 2 / league 1 outfit.
 
OMG Manchester United, Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool will all be doing away trips down the road to me! Surreal
 
Brentford FC | 2021/22 Season

Come on you Bees!

Indeed! Top half finish this season is my prediction!

Hmm I think that is highly optimistic. They might do a Leeds and finish in the middle, but Leeds had a big squad when they moved up.

The realistic goal is not get relegated as West Brom and Fulham immediately were. Thirty points should do it and Bees have four from the first two games.
 
Thomas Frank is one of the most likable managers in the league. I think they will survive relegation.
 
Tough season ahead but they've made a good start and were very impressive against Palace.

4th bottom finish would be a fantastic achievement for them.
 
I loved the Bees supporters’ roar for Saha when he came on for Arsenal. There are still decent people in the world.
 
An away point is fine. COYB!

What the Actual has happened to Arsenal???
 
Aston Villa and Brentford played out a fast and frenetic Premier League draw at a rowdy Villa Park.

Both sets of supporters created a terrific atmosphere in glorious conditions and although there was plenty of energy and endeavour on show, the two sides struggled to create many clear cut opportunities.

Brentford went ahead after just seven minutes when Ivan Toney thumped a finish high into the net, but Argentine Emiliano Buendia levelled just five minutes later with a beautifully-guided strike into the corner.

The Bees thought they had retaken the lead before half-time but Sergi Canos had a goal ruled out after nicking the ball away from keeper Emiliano Martinez, who had thrown the ball up into the air for a quick kick away and was deemed to still be in possession.

The second half was a stop-start affair with no real flow to the game.

Villa substitute Ollie Watkins could have won it with two chances deep in injury-time against his old club, but his header and low drive were both kept out by David Raya.

Ultimately a point apiece was a fair result, with Brentford remaining unbeaten since achieving promotion to the top-flight.
 
Superb point.

Already showing they'll be no pushovers this season.
 
They need goal scoring support for Toney though. Selling two strikers to Albion after 2020/21 was a mistake IMO.

Yes, the lack of goals could be their biggest problem.

They had quite a few chances yesterday but couldn't take them against Brighton.
 
Losing at home vs. Brighton.

Hurting loss, I was expecting a draw at minimum (last encounter ended in 3-3).

Hoping this isn’t a banana skin!

Brighton is a well organised side, good defence. But still a hammer blow to let in a goal in the 90th min.

Keep your players fit, Brentford will stay up imo.

Bees used to do that a lot in the League One and League Two days. Hope they don’t fall back.
 
Bees win 0-2 at Molyneaux despite having a man sent off!

Apart from the big boys (MU, MC, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs) I am not scared of anyone now!
 
Brentford playing like Leeds did last season. Good start to the season.
 
They'll stay up comfortably. Been brilliant so far. Probably the best any team has played against Wolves this season and they've played Spurs and ManUtd

Stats suggest Wolves had the better of the game in terms of possession.

Possesion yes but they really never threatened like they did against Spurs or United who scraped their wins though. And Brentford could have easily had a goal or two more.
 
My sister lives in Kew but previously was in Brentford, and I've had a soft spot for them for years.

They utilised the 30 million from the Said Benrahma sale very prudently, and they are in a different dimension to the other promoted teams. Norwich were a team - like WBA often are - designed to get out of the Championship, but not to survive in the Premiership.

I'm hoping that Brentford finish above Norwich and Newcastle and Burnley!

The Mighty Reds are in town!

Brentford wont have many chances, so need to take them to put any pressure on LFC.

But if they attack too much, they would lose by 4/5. A draw would be massive.

My prediction.

0-2

Yeah, at some point the big boys are going to give Brentford a pasting. 0-0 would be very good. At long as the Bees don’t get blasted apart 0-4.
 
1-1 at half time.

Dead air from TalkSport who should be carrying this match….
 
3-3 at full time! What a match! Bees held the mighty Reds! The bus stop in Hounslow has become a fortress!
 
Kind of gutted we didn't give Toney a chance when he was here at Newcastle. We have rotten forwards if Wilson is out, and Toney looks like he's going to be a star.
 
Yoane Wissa scored a late equaliser as Brentford held Liverpool to a draw in a thrilling encounter at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Wissa's dinked finish over Alisson rescued a point for the hosts, who matched Jurgen Klopp's team for long spells and created enough opportunities to claim all three points.

Ethan Pinnock had given Thomas Frank's side a deserved early lead, poking home from close range after Ivan Toney flicked Sergi Canos' low cross into the defender's path.

Diogo Jota brought the visitors level just three minutes later, rising unmarked to head Jordan Henderson's looping cross into the corner from the edge of the six-yard box.

Mohamed Salah's 100th Premier League goal for Liverpool put the Reds ahead for the first time in the match, only for Vitaly Janelt to equalise once more after Pontus Jansson had rattled the crossbar.

Curtis Jones restored the visitors' lead with a long-range drive that took a wicked deflection off Kristoffer Ajer on its way in, but Brentford - and Wissa - had the last word.
 
Fantastic match!! One of the best I’ve seen in ages. Loved it.
 
Super Brentford. So proud of the boys. Gave Liverpool a real scare. Some of these chaps will wear International colours soon. Janelt and Raya for sure
 
Fair result in the end with Brentford deserving a draw. Salah should have put the game beyond them when he was clear though on the keeper shooting well over. One of those matches that you don't want to end until a winner is scored. VAR has surely enhanced the game, without it Salah's goal would probably have been disallowed. The Brentford keeper had a awesome game without whom Liverpool would have walked the match. Fair play, we move on.
 
Great game to watch, of course a little dissapointed not to get 3 points.

Brentford scored 3 slightly fortunate goals but this is football, the players were in the right places putting huge pressure on LFC. Huge credit to the home side for taking the game to the opposition, many other clubs would have parked the bus.

The manager is very smart, his tactics got the better of Klopp, there is no question.

Keep the manager, you will not only stay up but could end up mid table, phenomenol from this genuine club.

Interesting analysis on MOTD - how repeatedly the Bees attacked from the right and put a cross in to a far post with three players to try to overload the Reds’ defence.

The Bees have an excellent club manager. An Oxford graduate, he wrote betting algorithms. He looks for players who are underperforming around the European leagues, buys them cheap and sells them for 10x the price. Brentford have long had a link with Icelandic clubs too.

A challenge will come when big offers come in for Ivan Toney. Leeds are looking sick at the bottom of the table and I hope Bees can survive their first couple of seasons in the top flight.
 
Fantastic win today away at West Ham.

Brilliant season so far.
 
Playing Championship style football - denying space, harrying, tackling - in the pretty football Premiership world.

That’s two away we be out of three so far. I think they will stay up now. Year two will be the test - look at where Leeds are.
 
Brentford's excellent start to life in the Premier League is making the football world sit up and take notice of them, says Bees boss Thomas Frank.

Yoane Wissa scored an added-time winner as Frank's side moved up to seventh in the table with a dramatic 2-1 London derby victory at West Ham United.

"Outside of London, outside of west London, maybe no-one in the world knows who we are," said Frank.

"So we need to show them with good performances on the pitch. I think we're a good story. I believed we could do something in the Premier League, I knew we would be strong defensively, press forward and be aggressive.

"I also knew we'd try to be brave, that's my biggest message to the players. We are proud, but I think it's also a truly deserved 12 points."

Wissa, who got a late equaliser against Liverpool eight days ago, drove in a powerful shot with virtually the last kick of the game after the Hammers, who missed an opportunity to go level on points with both Manchester clubs, failed to clear a set piece.

It came at the end of a contest in which the visitors dominated early on and deservedly led, with Bryan Mbeumo sweeping in from close range after Sergi Canos' effort was parried by home goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

However, after the break Brentford appeared to run out of steam and were forced to dig deep to repel a West Ham onslaught.

Jarrod Bowen spurned a glorious chance to level when heading Vladimir Coufal's cross wide and the Czech Republic full-back was also superbly denied an equaliser by Bees goalkeeper David Raya's sprawling save.

The home fans at London Stadium erupted in joy when Bowen eventually drove a low effort into the bottom right corner to equalise - only to be stunned as Wissa's late strike turned one point into three for the enterprising visitors.

"I want to be challenging at the top, so we have to win the games and I'm disappointed because we should have won the game today," said West Ham manager David Moyes.

"It shouldn't even have been a draw, we should have won the game with the opportunities we had."

In the build-up to the game much was made of the potency of West Ham's attack, with Bowen, Said Benrahma and Michail Antonio playing prominent roles in their side's fine start to the campaign.

However, Mbeumo and Ivan Toney arguably eclipsed the Hammers' front three, exhibiting the movement, pace and quality that has already stretched several established top-flight defences this term.

Frank will be especially proud of the way his side overcame Vitaly Janelt's withdrawal in the warm-up and the further inconvenience of Shandon Baptiste's first-half shoulder injury to secure victory in their first meeting with West Ham for 28 years.

The warning signs were there early on for the hosts, Mbeumo clipping the hosts' crossbar and heading wide from Rico Henry's pinpoint delivery inside the first four minutes - moments that had Hammers boss Moyes patrolling his technical area barking instructions to his players.

Toney also tested Fabianski with a close-range effort then brilliantly contributed to the opening goal, playing a delightful pass to Canos to split open the home defence.

It was a certainly a far cry from Thursday's Europa League victory over Rapid Vienna for West Ham, when the hosts - albeit with largely different personnel - had looked so assured.

It was a different story after the break, though, as West Ham pressed forward and looked more likely to grab a late winner after their equaliser.

But, 12 minutes after entering the action, Wissa came up with a knockout blow for a team and a club making a name for themselves.

You have 1 goal correct so far.

Chelsea scores. But Bees playing well. Problem is Chelsea will defend hard now, they are 1-0 specialists.

Btw have you seen the super computer prediction for this season?

No haven’t seen the super computer prediction. Where can I view it?
 
Brilliant performance from Brentford, fantastic pressure in the second half and particularly in the last 15 minutes. Desperately unlucky not to come away with the draw and a point. They’ve started life in the Premier League superbly.
 
Well done Bees. The big boys are going to beat them. But they are not getting blasted apart 4-0.

You were robbed a certain penalty.

Sadly this happens to so called smaller clubs when playing the so called bigger clubs.

However great performance again. Beating the Bees at home is tough for any opposition.
 
At home to Norwich today, should be three easy points.

That was unexpected. I thought it would be 3-0.

This is a hard league. Bees had a fast start but teams will be studying them, sussing them out.
 
Losing to a side that had two points in total prior to this and are still dead last.

Brentford have lost four games on the bounce. Never mind the supercomputer nonsense, they could still struggle to stay up.

Ailing Newcastle away this Saturday. Bees should arrest their slide down the table.
 
SUN 28 NOV 2021 PREMIER LEAGUE

Brentford 1-0 Everton


Brentford ended a five-match wait for a Premier League win with a home victory over Everton which extended the struggling Toffees' own winless run to seven games.

Ivan Toney coolly slotted in a 24th-minute penalty, awarded after Andros Townsend's high challenge on Frank Onyeka was reviewed by referee Darren England on the pitch-side monitor.

The goal ignited a largely uneventful start to a meeting between the two clubs rooted to the bottom of the Premier League's form table.

Salomon Rondon was denied an immediate equaliser by Bees goalkeeper Alvaro Fernandez at close range and Abdoulaye Doucoure produced a superb tackle to thwart Vitaly Janelt at the other end moments later.

Everton dominated following half-time but Rondon - replacing the suspended Richarlison in attack - saw an attempt blocked and Iwobi shot straight at Fernandez as the visitors chased an equaliser to no avail.

The hosts climb to 12th in the table after surviving intense late pressure at the Brentford Community Stadium - above Rafael Benitez's side, who slip to 14th.

Well done Bees!
 
Relief for the Bees, holding off Everton pressure in the second half. Brentford have opened a parachute with four points from the last two games, and are now seven points clear of the drop zone, while (to continue the skydiving metaphor) the Toffees are stuck in free fall with one point from their last five games.

Relief is the exact word I would use too. Needed a win after a sting of disappointing results.
 
Bees have a crippling injury list. The loss of David Raya and Ajer are huge. The performance against Everton was as poor as I have seen but grinding out results when playing badly is part and parcel of football and they gave it 100%. A tough set of games coming up playing Spurs, Leeds, Man Utd and Man City in the month of December.

If they can win ugly then all to the good.

Need a big squad in the Premiership. If Toney gets crocked I have no idea where goals will come from.

Leeds are struggling but Spurs and the Manchesters will be hard.

Just got to put away struggling teams and not have disasters at Norwich.
 
That's my worry Robert. Bees have been up for the bigger games but they need to take care of the six pointers. Would rather not concede points to Watford and Southampton than what we can get against the big boys.
 
Massive game this weekend, lower table six pointer. My Leeds… against the London boys from Brentford :/
