I think you guys need to get your story straight.
SU is a massive club, yet you're crowing about getting back to where you should never have left in the first place.
versus
BFC is a tiny club, who shouldn't be allowed to take some small comfort in being nicely set a couple of divisions above where we "properly" belong.
Is it a Northern thing?![]()
Most people on here saw Brentford as a club with a model to imitate or borrow from pre Wilder. I advocated being a "bigger Brentford", which is a huge compliment. That's not meant to be patronising, but to recognise that our revenues are bigger and that if we used the same/similar methods we would achieve even better results.Most people in our fanbase were happy that Brentford were upsetting the established order somewhat. United relish being an underdog club, so naturally see affinity with other underdogs.
In the last few years we've signed a few of your players and have subsequently been told how toilet they are, and how you were scewing us. Of course these philosophers were comprehensively proved wrong; but it somewhat soured relations. I still see Brentford fans telling us how wank O'Connell and Egan are with a nauseating regularity, even now. Maupay seems to have taken things to a whole other level as various Bees seem dumbfounded that little old us could dare have an interest in their player. And below your fanbases valuation of the player. How dare we!
United fans have never been a fanbase known for bigging up our club as 'massive'. Au contraire, we use it as a stick to beat other clubs with, as I'm sure the "massive" in South Barnsley will inform you. It's more a reaction to the superiority complex exhibited by our recent visitors, which is a bit ludicrous in light of recent events.
You should also take a look at Roy's view froms. Every time we play you the match is described as a hoofball team versus the 'cultured' Brentford. Arrant bollocks, which in all honesty hasn't been forthcoming from many other championship clubs. We expect that shite from Villa, dirty Leeds, Pigs, Forest etc.
