Pre-Match View From Brentford

[Coily]

For fans of a club who hate being considered small time, there is plenty of evidence there that that is exactly what they are. Oh well, how sad etc.

“Sharp and/or O’Connell to react to some stick from Voice”


Please don't tell me 'Voice' is the name they've given to an organised vocal group....

 

[diode_blade]

Cheers Roy as always.

 

[BLADES1988]

God they'll be bloody bouncing next!! Delusions of grandeur springs to mind!

What you've never heard of the Brentford "VOICE KRU" ?

Very
Obnoxious
Idiotic
Chanting
Eejits

 

[Champagneblade]

And i thought there was only one Bjellend at Brentford!

 

[Stretch]

Think a few of them got some grief after the 3-3 at the Lane a few seasons back, and haven't forgotten about it.

Other than when we play them, I barely register their existence.

 

[sufcboy95]

The Barcelona of the championship, as I recall their fans in August

 

[Esablade]

tbf to em they did come out with the all time classic:

‘JOC is a donkey who won everything’..line last time around..I’ll always look on em fondly for that one.

UTB!

Cheers Roy.

That's pretty sad really, i'd like to be able to give Brentford fans some credit for turning their backs on the big London teams and supporting their local boys but they somehow come across as a sad bunch of small-town losers mixed up with the general arrogance and enhanced sense of entitlement that seems to be endemic in the London and South east based teams these days. Sorry boys (and girls), you might have been founded in 1889 and you might play in a proper kit but the reality is most people are still more likely to reference your overpriced slice of boring London suburb by a defunct Nylon company rather than by its football team.

H'mmmm trying to think of another team thats's like that, not too far away...damn won't spring to mind....................ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it does now......
bounce bounce bou....duff....no bounce....

We must break them (in ivan drago voice)

 

[CarlMcBlade]

We’ve been praised from some unlikely very sources this season (Leeds, Forest and Derby etc). But poxy little London clubs like Brentford, QPR and Fulham seem to think they’re on another level to us.

TBF Fulham are in my opinion

 

[snootyfenooty]

They are ahead of themselves but maybe that's because of the way we were bigging them up before the home leg.

Anyway, what's bugging me is the make of the yellow car in the pic, it's a beaut!

Late 70's Jag? (XJS?), almost looks like a Jensen Interceptor as well, iirc

 

[Liverpool blade]

Cheers Roy. The hatred is definitely back!!!.
They're so far up their own arses, it's just like our pork neighbors!. UTB

 

[BerksBlade]

Welcome back Roy - it's not proper football without a "view from..."

Pontiac Firebird ?

 

[metalblade]

Looks like their fans are suffering from small club syndrome, they once strung five passes together and now think they are the next Barcelona.

Brentford

If the Brentford mod who comes on here would like to point me towards some more 'kinder' comments then please do because I simply couldn't find any.

I think he might have Wednesday connections. Like a checklist of myths

Yes the team are. But the smaller the club the more disingenuous they seem to be..... Or is just the London thing.

 

[Caveblade]

Poxy little club punching above thier weight. But they are Londoners so naturally are far superior to us norfern Monkees!

 

[SB_90]

my god that Sheffield Bee he makes trump look intelligent, 1 thing ive never got is how other clubs constantly mention tevez but yet we are ones talked about

 

[Greville Waterman]

Go to beesotted.com and listen to their podcast which contains a much more measured and thoughtful view of sensible Bees fans' opinion of Sheffield United.

We admire you for your positivity, determination to attack and for making the most of your resources. All the Blades I have met have been great - friendly, passionate about their team and gracious to the opposition too.

A bit of a London thing I think mate. I work with someone from Kent who described Potters Bar as in the north! Strictly speaking from their perspective true but pretty much says it all in my opinion.

I did genuinely try to find more positive quotes as I always do. A lot of the more measured fans stay quiet online whilst the morons, like Sheffield Bee, make the most noise that paints a poor picture of a fan base.

 

[Harry's Game]

They were one of the best sides to come to the Lane at the start of the season, when we sweeping all before us they were one of the few sides we were hanging on against.

However their fans strike me as being the ‘Barnsley’ of London, a club no one else cares or even thinks about so they have to strive desperately to find a reason to hate someone else in the hopes of creating some sort of bizarre rivalry.

Funny you should mention the nylon thing, I was out drinking last night with a mate who is a Watford fan, we got talking about today's game and he was telling me how whenever Watford played Brentford the Watford fans used to ironically chant "Come on you Nylons!" - they didn't like it one bit.
