    From the Brentford board…

    “I always find ghoddos struggles against these teams that play anti football.”

    What is this anti football? Is it passing the ball with your hands like rugby. Or is it like cricket where the goals are replaced by stumps? Or did we just not turn up at the ground and still won?

    It's the kind of phrase that football fans regurgitate when their team has been absolutely bossed from start to finish and they don't know how to emotionally process it.

    Anti-football = having the audacity to tackle a player of the team I support and not letting them have the ball straight back so they can play some pretty football.

    I think this gentleman from Brentford gives a more balanced assessement of the game...

    Yes. I think there’s a chapter on this in Stephen Hawkings ‘Brief History of Time.”

    Summat abart an alternative universe where Frimpong scores the winner in the Universe Cup Final.

    I watched a documentary with Brian Cox about parallel universes being possible mathematically. There was one scenario where people were made out of Lego and the dinosaurs weren't extinct. Mind boggling stuff.

    The multiverse theory has an infinite collection of universes where every decision or action leads to the creation of another universe for each alternative action or decision. We are alive in an infinite number of them, but a small fraction of the total number. In one of those universes, Barnsley were promoted to the first division after WW1 and are currently having a mediocre season (by our recent standards) in 10th - but we did beat Leeds 4-2 yesterday :)

    I'm not sure about that stuff. I think they make it up to get funding and get on the telly. I remember one radio interview where some scientist claimed they’d identified the sound of a black hole. It sounded like that squeaky noise when air comes out of a balloon. I bet it was.

    “Oh no, we’re down to our last ten million quid… we need more brass…let’s say we've discovered what a black hole sounds like.

    “But we haven't”

    “Pass me that balloon.”

    I was going to agree till the words "Frimpong scores" - that would have to be a REALLY weird alternate universe.

    One of the things I've liked about Brentford is that they have come from nowhere to challenge for the top Division; they have some wonderful fans; and they have THE model for how a Club of their size should be run. Huge respect. And then.....you have some dickheads, who sound as if they have been directly imported from Sheffield 6, who go and spoil it all. Sad really.

    They don't have the model for how a club should be run do they?

    £100 million in debt to their owner and a wage bill way ahead of their revenue. When they were signing Pinnock from us they were also paying that lump from Leeds £30k a week on crowds of 10,000. One poor recruitment window, a couple of injuries, and no promotion and they could seriously unravel.

    When Football Clubs are not "in debt to their owners" is when we win the Premier League followed by 10 Champions League success.

    They have come from a hundred years of nothing to being promoted to the top Division. They have a coach who's probably the best in the division, an enviable scouting system and (this is the bit I really like) when they sell players on, they get their true value. It's an amazing system and imo one we should aspire to.
