Love it 😘
Funny wasn't it mate.

Against Chelsea, we cheered a header that went ten yards over the bar.

Excellent save by their keeper from Klich's best shot of the season.

Fortunately, I still have all my hair, although I did blast him a couple of times, especially when he held his arm up as a feeble apology.
In terms of value for money, £30mil and £100k a week he has to be a top 5 worst ever?

Surprised you aren't bald as a coot watching this lot over the years :lol:

They won’t outmuscle him and I think he’s a great prospect who’d put himself on the line big time
What worries me about Brentford is their pace - if we need a win we are going to take far more risks, hence we will get countered often. One of our biggest weaknesses for the past 4 years, which has never been addressed is our lack of pace at the back. And with Llorente as you point out we also lack the muscle. There is no way Marsch will pick Cresswell now - even though it makes perfect sense, especially when you consider how he limited Antonio earlier in the season.
My other worry is that if Bamford is able to play he will sacrifice Joffy rather than Rodrigo.

Everything about Brentford worries me :shock:
And I agree he won’t pick Charlie but if he doesn’t pick JG for Bamford I’ll lose my mind. He’d be the first on my team sheet. Don’t care if Bamford is fit as a fiddle it would still be JG first. Or both obviously. Because that could work
I declare my love for Saint Daniel and I can shoehorn him in to any conversation.

Reading the twitter comments regarding the Raph and KP by the goalposts etc. Quite a few people think that KP’s value has diminished because he hasn’t been in top form. Absolute rubbish. The term - ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ is why he will still command a hefty sum, even if we get relegated. Our bargaining position is weakened but he will be sought after by quite a few clubs. I still think we will get 50 million minimum and could be as high as 70.

If the worse happens - do not expect him to fall on his sword. I suspect he will give a big rallying call about how he will sign the players we need to get promoted the following season.

Watching Firpo today, I think he would be decent in the Championship, assuming that performance wasn’t a one off - which it might be when I consider what came before. But concentrating on the positive - he has a side to his game which could be suited. I doubt we will sell him because we would lose to much on the deal.

This was the commentator.

Distinctly remember the other commentator referring to his co-commentator as Courtney.

I've googled it and it's definitely her.
