    Thomas Frank calls his front three BMW (Benrahma, Mbeumo, Watkins) and if they don't get promoted I can see all three gone.

    The best player in the division and by some distance. He'll be in the Premier League one way or another next season. As will Ethan, which is good for us.

    The way he danced through the Swansea defence on Sunday was majestic - and I'm not even sure that would get in his top five moments of the season as he didn't score at the end of it.

    I think Ethan will have another year at Brentford personally, even if they don't stay up. But I'll bow to your superior knowledge on that one mate.

    No knowledge on it. I just think he’s good enough, the right age, and will be cheaper now because of COVID. However, Bees might still go up, and I wouldn’t bet against it. The best side in the division for me.

    I think he needs an extra 12 months excelling personally, but if Brentford don't go up then age wise this is the year to get the most money for him and I could see Leeds looking at him if Ben White moves elsewhere and also someone like West Ham.

    I've got £20 riding on Brentford so I think they'll turn it around at Griffin Park. Be some final vs. Fulham though.

    Fascinating that we've won three out of four games against those this season.

    Sadly, the horrible sides had our number.

    don't write the Taffs off - a no-pressure game for them - have a Tenner on them getting promotion -

    A shining light that has a 84.6% wages to turnover ratio and have 81 million to pay to clubs they still owe transfer fees to so they are in bother....

    Is that where the term "playing a ringer" comes from? o_O
