No, but to be frank, you’d rather play another jazz next season (i.e. Europa League one). Would be even better for Sheffield, and quite an achievement I would have thought
The Championship 2019/2020
- Thread starter duffer
- Start date
Not a fan but have a big soft spot for them. Their owner Matthew Benham founded one of the biggest betting syndicates in the world and revolutionised performance analytics and 'big data' in football (he was a big force behind xG becoming mainstream for example) which Brentford have used to great effect and consistently fininished top half/third of the Championship while operating on one of the smallest budgets. Their player recruitement is far superior to almost anyone.
Do hope Brentford pip West Brom to the automatic place, don't trust them in the playoffs and they play some lovely stuff (which doesn't always translate well to the PL but fun regardless).
This isn't the West Brom of a few years ago though, they do have some good technicians now - Pereira is a wonderful little player. Forrest back would be fun. A small part of me wants to see the chaos Milwall shithousing their way back to the PL would cause.

8-1 wasn’t it?Forrest for the nostalgia, remember that 8-2 win
Haven't they got a new stadium or are getting one?
Yes, not a fan of it personally
It's ready for the 2020/21 season.
Yeah it was actually, my mistake
Leeds to do a Norwich hopefully. Hate that club.
Not yet. Wait till we lose against them.
The game I always remember most is when they beat us 2-1 and Stan Collymore burst onto the scene.Yeah it was actually, my mistake
Leeds, Brentford & Forest would be fun.
Sick to death of West Brom, and Fulham & Cardiff have done nothing in their recent stints.

95 wasn't it? That game was at Old Trafford as well?
I just checked - Brentford have never played in EPL. 20 years ago they were in Third division
They’ve definitely never played in the PL. have they ever even played in England’s top tier? Apparently they play good football so I hope they come up. I could do without seeing West Brom for a while.
Me too. Millwall vs the Dippers will create Mad Max like scenes.
Brentford and Forest I hope. Especially the latter. Would be great to see them back in the league
Oh wow. Have been rooting for Brentford to make it up this season after I've read an article about how they run their club. Didn't think they'd make it, but there's a chance now. Hoping for Nottingham as the third one.

It was that season but was December 94. They also drew to us 1-1 in the August before and Collymore scored the equaliser aswell on his debut. I remember it because I think it was the first Monday Night game I ever watched.
Liverpool win the PL and Leeds are finally promoted back 
Just like 1990.Liverpool win the PL and Leeds are finally promoted back
My thoughts to! Can't see it though, Bielsa is a fantastic manager.
I hope Brentford go up automatically and I'd like to see Fulham go up via the playoffs. I'm happy Leeds are up. the football they play is pretty good to watch. I think they'll be a handful for many teams next season on the proviso Bielsa stays and they a bit of quality to what they've got.

Brentford playing like clowns 1-0 down to Stoke.
Stage fright.
This league is absolutely chaotic, though. You can never say with any certainty that a team will win a match. Notoriously difficult league.
Very unfortunate not to get a penalty, when the Brentford player was just hurled to the ground from a corner. They have been poor
Come on Brentford! If they get PL, I can go to all their home matches for free!
Do they have time still to score?
Yeah its half time at the moment
Well, they at least need a draw, so chances are available still, then
They can't play any worse in the 2nd hlaf tbh.
Nick Powell playing for Stoke.
Really want Brentford to get automatic promotion. Theyve never been in the top division before have they?
If they win, it will have the double bonus of keeping Stoke near relegation.

I grew up in west London and almost all my family are from the area. I've never, ever met a Brentford fan.
Big miss from Dasilva
Better from Brentford in the 2nd half. 4 points is enough for them in the last two games so getting a draw here would probably be good enough as they face Barnsley at home next.
Wigan doing a good job at the moment escaping relegation assuming they'll get a 12 point deduction.

If Wigan are 12+ points a head of relegation do they start next season on -12?
Amazing what pressure can do in sport sometimes. Brentford looked amazing since restart, now they just need a draw and can barely get a shot on target.
Slipping through their grasp.

Brentford have been shocking
Brentford are not up to it today, honestly they're playing like jokers.
