📸🔙FLASHBACK to this wonderful moment from Said Benrahma🐝 What a baller, BUT where does he rank in the list of all time Brentford greats?👀 He was a forefather of this current Brentford…

dantowen819513d ago

Always thought there was a bit of the prime-Taraabt about Benrahma The Ligue 2 to Champ pipeline is remarkable really. Benrahma, Mbeumo and Mahrez

markmarston3d ago

In my lifetime, Mbuemo and Toney just above. Benrahma left before Bees went up which was a shame

How would you feel about Damien Duff being lined up to succeed Keith Andrews?

According to David Ornstein, Brentford may have already lined up Duff to succeed Andrews... “Yeah. Talking of the succession planning as well, and even maybe an inspiration for the young and senior players, alongside Keith Andrews is none other than Damian Duff. He's come in as his assistant. "He was doing really well coaching in Ireland. So maybe they've even got succession planning in that dugout already with somebody I'm hearing good things about, so keep an eye on him.”

dantowen8195112d ago

Brentford could appoint literaly anyone and I’d assume they were going to succeed 😅

markmarston12d ago

I mean you couldn’t write it off could you… but I would be a bit sceptical. Andrews appointment worked a treat but I don’t think every number two at Brentford will be as successful. I think I’d look at a higher calibre

jonny12d ago

Brentford becoming almost an Irish side has been brilliant. Andrews, Duff, Collins and Kelleher! Love it

How would YOU rate Brentford's season so far?

dantowen8195112d ago

It’s shaping up to be probably their best season yet! Says a lot that they left out Sangare against Chelsea and still won convincingly

tom.procter12d ago

A* Andrews doing a terrific job

eoin12d ago

A*. Keith andrews has really come into his own and proved a lot of people wrong. Even before the Chelsea result , few have started the season better

How can Keith Andrew’s stifle Chelsea’s devastating frontline today? 😳 Should Brentford look to defend first, or make it a basketball match instead? 👀 What is your score predictions… for Brentford vs Chelsea

george.patten17d ago

I think Basketball match is the way to go. Nice 4-3 win for Brentford

jameslloyd14.jl17d ago

Think they’ll win, Chelsea have shown a bit of vulnerability to the sort of physical, second-ball and set-piece football Brentford are so effective at. 2-1 the Bees 🐝

jameslloyd14.jl17d ago

Think Brentford will win. Chelsea have been vulnerable to exactly the sort of physical, set-piece football Brentford are so effective at. They’ll be licking their lips analysing that Hull game

Is this the biggest transfer miss of all time? 👀 Three years after Bradley Barcola to Brentford links, he is a £123m player and France international! How would his career have transpired had he made this move in 2023? 🤔

vatsal26d ago

Lesson to learn here is that clubs should just follow Fabrizio and buy players whose names are in the same tweet as Brentford’s. Even if they don't sign said player, their recruitment is so good you're still probably getting a steal!

dale.odonnell26d ago

Careful now. Clubs will be trying to pip members of Brentford’s recruitment team like they’ve been doing to Brighton. 😅

seanfisher26d ago

That’s crazy actually! Had no idea he was linked. Brentford’s transfer business is usually so on point too.

How much of a wage bump should Brentford be offering Kevin Schade to sign a new contract?✍️

According to TEAMtalk, discussions are underway... Schade earns £12.5k a week right now for Brentford. WHAT would be your maximum offer?👀

jonny26d ago

Absolutely should be the highest earner, Schade is the best player at the club right now

jameslloyd14.jl27d ago

Who is their highest earner and how much do they earn? He should probably be matching that

What does THIS say about the project Keith Andrews is building at Brentford right now?🔥🐝

Choosing Brentford over Champions League football says a lot...

jonny32d ago

I think it’s impossible to have ignored how good Brentford were under Andrew’s, Europe should be the target this season and Sangare is pivotal

jameslloyd14.jl32d ago

He’s clearly got smart people around him that have advised him how brilliantly well-run Brentford are. It’s a stepping stone but one he’ll hugely benefit from - as will Brentford

How on earth did Brentford manage to sign Mamadou Sangare for £41m 😳 In this current market of crazy fees, how much is he going to end up being valued at by the end of the season? 👀

jameslloyd14.jl32d ago

Looks an incredible player

dale.odonnell34d ago

Incredible recruitment 🔥

vatsal34d ago

An "elite" team will come next summer and make a shocked pikachu face when they're quoted 100m. It's what separates Brentford from everyone else. Just a step ahead.

After last week's win against Spurs, Brentford are forced to settle for a point against Leeds 🙃 What do you make of that result?

callum_boyle35d ago

Point on the road isn’t dreadful but perhaps expected more after last week’s win. Leeds look good this season in fairness

🙂Add a comment…Open Discussion

Reading away awaits Brentford in the third round of the Carabao Cup. How do we feel about that one?

freddie37d ago

Should be nice and easy! Would have fancied anyone tbh given the from they are in

Ethan Pinnock has departed after sevens seasons at the club. Where does he rank among Brentford greats? 😢

freddie39d ago

200+ games and promotion, proper legend! Right up there in modern day as Keith said

🙂Add a comment…Open Discussion

What a performance from Brentford and what a debut from Mamadou Sangare 😍 How impressed were you by what you saw?

eoin42d ago

Liverpool stopped the ball here with not signing him. Looks some player!

jackgallagher43d ago

Very! Schooled the Tottenham midfield on his own

aryansurajc43d ago

That’s the beauty of premier league you know, full of surprises and new stars coming up!

Our Premier League predictions are here! Do you agree with where we've put Brentford? 👀

dantowen8195148d ago

I think they can challenge for Europe again. If Sunderland Brighton and Bournemouth are all stretched by Europe, no reason why Brentford can’t nick in

🙂Add a comment…Open Discussion

Some breaking news to bring you Brentford fans! 🙌

dantowen8195166d ago

Very, very good deal. I don’t want it to sound like I’m selling him already but Sangare is the sort of talent you could flip in a year for £100m

How concerned are you about a lack of genuine first-team signings? 🤔

Squad does not look much better than last season yet....

freddie73d ago

I’d usually say yes for any team, but I’m fed up of writing Brentford off and always getting proven wrong! They know what they are doing! 🤣

dantowen8195173d ago

Standing still in the premier league usually means going backwards - then again, there haven’t been any big departures either, which feels like a nice change

jonathan.gorrie73d ago

Would like to see a bit more ambition to be honest!

Brentford confirm the signing of Callum Wilson... what should his aim be this season? 🐝

james.brooke87d ago

Wilson and Anthony not the most inspiring window so far. Good season last year but I think they’re going to struggle this time

jameslloyd14.jl87d ago

Obviously not the player he was and should only be coming in as cover. 5–8 would be good return

markmarston87d ago

I think if he can contribute six or seven off the bench, it’d turn out to be brilliant business! 🐝🐝

Here’s some interesting random stats and facts about Brentford:

markmarston88d ago

During the 1929-30 season, Brentford set an English record by winning all 21 of their home league games. Their old stadium, Griffin Park, was the only UK ground to feature a pub on all four corners of the stadium block. In September 2024, The Bees became the first team in PL history to score in the first minute of three consecutive matches.

How many goals are we expecting from Igor Thiago in 2026/27? I have a hard time figuring out if this was a purple patch or if he really is an elite striker!

dale.odonnell123d ago

Top striker. Needs to be aiming for 20+

james.brooke123d ago

I’ll give you a clue mate

dantowen81951123d ago

I’m convinced that if Thiago does go, they will have a 20-goal replacement lined up already haha

Just how much are Brentford overachieving? It’s clearly not a fluke - they have surely shown how an analytically driven, smaller club can achieve a sustainable, top-half Premier League presence without relying on billionaire backing. So impressive. What were the highs last season - beating United and Liverpool ?

dale.odonnell123d ago

Keith Andrews deserves credit, but the club being run the way it has been helps build a competitive environment for coaches to flourish. It’s been a remarkable story.

kyle.dimond123d ago

Everyone, myself included, though they were doomed. To nearly get European football is just remarkable. They’ve overachieved for so long that at this point we have to start expecting it

filipe.guedes.guimaraes123d ago

Unreal job by Matthew Benham. He has such a cool story with that betting stuff. Definitely a data-driven man.

What else do we need to do to kick on?

kyle.dimond123d ago

I don’t think so. Brentford are still overachieving on expectations so you don’t want to jump the shark.

markmarston124d ago

No - revisit it in 10 years. It feels like they’ve been in the PL forever but they only came up in 2021! If they can establish themselves in the division long term, which is a big ask, then maybe extend to 25k?

charlesjones124d ago

It’s only just been built, leave it for now and settle in properly

How much is Igor Thiago now worth? Should we sell?

james.brooke123d ago

He’ll get a couple of World Cup penalties and someone will bid £60m, will score 6 goals next season, 4 pens. Not having him

kyle.dimond123d ago

I think he’ll go for at least 45 million but the World Cup could change that significantly

markmarston124d ago

£50m and no less. We sold Tomey for similar and he only had a year left on his deal!

You have free rein, who do you want to sign? And why?

markmarston124d ago

They need to have a serious look at Femi Azeez… lovely left footed winger at Millwall

will.butcher124d ago

Ivan Toney to replace Thiago 👀

Who has been Brentford's standout player this season?

dantowen81951123d ago

Can’t look beyond Thiago - but Kelleher has been fantastic, and Ouattara has lived up to his price tag

dancoombs123d ago

Kelleher has been an astute buy and one I suspect Liverpool would rather have kept if they could

tom.procter124d ago

Thiago obvs fantastic, but Michael Kayode deserves his flowers. Can't think of many better RBs in the PL in the season just gone
