Brentford v Fulham

[XXX]

Who do you want to see promoted?

[Yoda]

Brentford, just for a change.

[andi17]

Done both teams to win 3-2 so no all that fussed

[indianajones]

Brentford but I really don't care too much about it! 

[XXX]

Good luck to Brentford and Fulham.

 

The best game to win, the worst game to lose.

 

Hopefully it will be a cracking game, won by a bit of brilliance.

[Mikey1874]

Fulham up and down recently. But may have the experience of the big games. 

 

Brentford are exciting. If they want a longer spell in the Premiership they may need another season to build. 

[HMFC01]

Can't wait until this game starts!  Should be great!  Both got full squads.

[NANOJAMBO]

Genuinely not bothered, just really , really looking forward to the game after the absolute crap the SPFL dished up over the last few days. 

[Kenneth Dubeke]

I fancy Fulham. Brentford probably should've gone up automatically but their bumhole appeared to collapse in the final weeks. Reacted well to eliminate Swansea 

[Hesh]

Mitrovic on the bench, cant be fit

[Weebroon98]

Used to work with a guy in bristol who was  a massive Fulham fan so hope they go up for him

[rory78]

Brentford - went to Griffin Park a couple of days after Spurs v Hearts and its got a pub at each corner of the ground,moving into a nice wee stadium next season which is probably right as Griffin Park is fairly old

Me too - lovely pubs, good atmosphere, surroundings quite like Gorgie

 

Saw them lose to Wolves at home (with Dave Weir asst manager) a few years back. Good luck this time

[NaturalOrder74]

Excited for this one, hope Brentford hammer them 

[Jumper]

I remember this play-off match being described as most profitable match to win and the costliest to lose in world football. Don't know if that's true but the money is pretty serious.

[Irufushi]

Definitely Brentford, nice to see different teams in the top leagues.

Apparently the richest game in world football, according to Sky.

Five of the last EFL Championship Playoff Finals have been decided by a single goal.

[WDJ87]

Made roof safety/access hatches for Brentford's new stadium in my last job. Only reason I chose them lol 🤷‍♂️

Wigan relegation confirmed after losing appeal.

 

Means Barnsley stays in the Championship.

[Athletes Feet]

Brentford for me. I work in London and one of the lads at work is a big fan and been along a few times for midweek games. Nice folks. Hopefully a promotion and new stadium wouldn’t change the feeling around the club.

That seems to be the tactics for Fulham.  Win it in the second half.  Although Brentford nearly gifted them a few goals already, with panicky defending  

 

Edit:  Brentford are holding back a bit as well, not closing down as much yet.

[jamboy1982]

Awful game. Standard is so poor, both sides making constant errors 

[tian447]

Way back in the PlayStation2 days, I used to pick Brentford as my team in This is Football 2003 to try and take to the Premiership. 

 

They are on the brink of doing it in real life, albeit without my amazing management skills. I really hope they do it! 

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

Fulham deserve to win this but it’s been shite. Brentford massively disappointing 

[Locky]

Not a great watch but Brentford have looked toothless. Playing the long game it seems despite their manager saying they were intent on attacking.

 

Would love to see Brentford go up. Really well run club, new stadium and I think a welcome addition to the top flight. Fulham went up last season, spent a load of cash and went straight back down. They've had their shot.

[Bellion]

Brentford for me.  Be a nice change, they’re good to watch, & had a few really good trips to Griffin Park.  Don’t really want Fulham back in the Prem.  One boring yo-yo club getting promoted is enough for one year. 

[Siphiwe Tshabalala]

This is woeful.

 

Brentford to win it on pens.

[neilnunb]

Oh dear keeper 🤣

[Newton51]

Whats the goalie doing!

[indianajones]

Surely a free kick vs Mitrovic there?

[Papa John]

Paul Hartley style free kick.  Keeper thinks a cross is coming in from the free kick but he goes for goal and the keeper is well out of position.

[neilnunb]

I really wanted Brentford to win but this game has been horrendous. Whoever does win will be next year's Norwich.

[Mikey1874]

Great goal. 

 

Brentford need something different. 

[XXX]

Someone better check the goalkeeper online betting account. 😉

[EH23-Jambo]

Disappointed in Brentford tonight. Both teams woeful to watch, high pressure game tbf. 

[neilnunb]

Game over then

[Mikey1874]

Braw

[neilnunb]

Too little too late

[Kenneth Dubeke]

Scott Parker has one of those faces. Bit like Darren Anderton 

 

That Fulham goalie is a proper cheat 

[HMFC01]

Was it Hector for Fulham that handled the ball two handed covering his face, or was  I seeing something else   Commentator said no handball, I wasn't convinced.

 

About 3 red cards overall and 1 free kick 1st half went past the ref' plus the penalty  

 

Brentford were robbed.

 

Congrats to Fulham, all the best.

[BigStein]

so Fulham have about a month to prepare for a season in the prem? Reckon they're going right back down

[Mikey1874]

Brentford will come back.

 

Though clubs after their strikers. 

 

Of course losing your last 2 league games to miss automatic promotion then not turning up in the final might haunt you.

Not a great game until the first goal

[copa-mundial]

Get money on Fulham finishing 20th in the Premiership next season. First team relegated. They're woeful. 

 

Just like Norwich. Yoyo club. 

[Georgecowie]

Awful game? Apart from the goal of the season. Yoyo club?  Premiership from 2001-2014. Can't believe they managed to get up this year but that must say a lot for the manager. Brilliant club, still able to have fans sitting together in the putney end.

Before 2001 they hadn't been in the top league since 1968, I certainly wouldn't call them an established top club.

In the 6 most recent seasons, from 2013-14 to current, they've been relegated twice and promoted twice.

I'd say yoyo club is fairly accurate for their recent history.

 

I like Scott Parker a lot btw, always thought he was massively underrated as a player too.

[NlGHTMARE]

Brentford have been mentally cucked for a few weeks, sounded like their head coach was having a breakdown in the interview after we beat them.
